It comes in response to an article in the British outlet that claimed the black-and-white photo featuring the former “Suits” actress, Prince Harry and their son, Archie Harrison, had been altered.
To make their point, the Mail shared their own altered versions and said that Markle looked “weirdly in focus” compared to the rest of her family, claiming that the card had been “Photoshopped.”
