Royal watchers have accused Queen Mary and King Frederik of Denmark of photoshopping their first official royal portrait weeks after their British counterparts were slammed for putting out a 'fake' Mother's Day picture. The royal couple's official picture was released on Friday and featured the Australian-born queen standing alongside the king.

Queen Mary wore a deep green velvet and lace gown along with the crown's 'most complete' heirloom jewel set featuring matching emeralds.

Many praised the photo's 'beauty' but also questioned whether it had been manipulated, with some claiming the couple 'obviously' took their single portraits and had photoshopped them together. 'Beautiful photo, but another digitally enhanced royal photo,' one woman commented on the picture - receiving multiple 'likes'. 'Was this photoshopped? I mean it looks like they were photographed separately then put together? Mary looks exquisite and Frederik, well the king looks like he just rolled out of bed,' wrote one woman. 'Terrible translation. So stiff and awkward. AI,' another questioned.

Others pointed out the placement of Queen Mary's hand in front of King Frederik's, claiming it looks out of place. 'It looks like Queen Mary has been put into the photo of Fred. The hand position is identical,' said one fan. The palace has confirmed the picture is real and says 'the Royal House's official gala portrait has not been manipulated'.

Many claimed any photoshopping would make sense given the recent affair rumours which circulated after the then prince was spotted hanging out with friend and socialite Genoveva Casanova in Spain last year. 'She has so much tension! and are they even together in the room, looks like a montage,' said another. 'Why did he cheat I am so angry at him,' said another. 'Oh she looks beautiful, but so tense! Something's not right,' assumed another. 

Others continued to talk about the couple's alleged indifference without commenting on whether the photo could have been fabricated. 'That's one chilly looking Mary. I don't think she's all that wild about having to stand that close to Freddy!' The palace has told Daily Mail they don't comment on rumours when asked about the alleged affair. It isn't the first time that royal watchers have questioned a photo put out by the Danish palace. 

On January 8 they produced a picture of Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine for their 13th birthday. But the family's fans claimed the children were posing exactly as they had in a group photo which looked to be taken on the same day. This lead to people questioning whether the twins had been edited together for the birthday tribute.

People have become less trusting of royal photos following the disastrous Mother's Day picture release of Kate Middleton and her children on behalf of Kensington Palace. 16 'errors' were found in the portrait which became the first official portrait of the royal house to be recalled by picture agencies. 

Royal aides claimed the image of the Princess of Wales and children, was taken by Prince William. Princess Charlotte's hand to Kate's zip, Prince Louis's jumper and Prince George's arm were all glaringly 'wrong' in the picture. Other issues relate to Charlotte's skirt and knee, Louis's jumper and hand, Kate's hair and George's sleeve – as well as the ledge and step in the background.
