Donald Trump Says Kate Middleton's Edited Photo is Common Practice

Kate Middleton has been getting dragged through the coals over an edited picture of herself and her kids — but Donald Trump is coming to her defense … saying she deserves a break.

The ex-Prez spoke up on behalf of the Princess of Wales this week in an interview with GB News — where DT was asked about the failed Photoshop job that Kate and/or Kensington Palace attempted to pass off as an authentic picture for Mother’s Day.

The broadcaster Trump was speaking with, Nigel Farage, suggested he didn’t think it was that a big deal and that Kate would bounce back from the scandal — and The Donald agreed.

He says he doesn’t understand what all the fuss is about, especially since doctoring photos and images is somewhat commonplace in Hollywood — at least that’s what Trump thinks anyway. He makes the point that movie stars never quite look like how they’re presented.

Granted … Kate herself isn’t so much a Hollywood figure, per se, but his point is well-taken.

In his eyes, a little editing here and there is something just about everyone does — and he seems to think the public should cut her some slack here. Trump also acknowledges Kate is going through a hard time right now … but doesn’t appear to elaborate beyond that.

We broke the story … Kate surfaced in public again this past weekend near her home in Windsor, where she was on her own two feet, walking side by side next to Prince William.
