AFP drops Kensington Palace as trusted source after doctored Kate Middleton photo controversy
- Major news agency AFP says Kensington Palace is no longer a trusted source after the doctored Kate photo controversy
- Photo violated AFP's guidelines - was not well photoshopped; they had to issue a "kill" notice to clients
- This level of photo manipulation from a trusted source happens maybe once a year
- Previous photo kills have been from North Korean or Iranian state news agencies
- The photo was meant to mark UK Mother's Day but came amid questions over Kate's lack of public appearances
