The paparazzo who snapped the pic of Kate Middleton riding alongside Prince William in a car Monday is speaking out to quash online conspiracy theories that the photo was doctored.

“We don’t change our photos in photoshop other than adjusting the light levels if necessary,” said Jim Bennett, a photographer told The Post.

Bennett said he and a partner were hired to get a shot of Prince William heading to Westminster Abbey for a royal event.

“The cars left Windsor Castle and I photographed them a short distance away on Datchet High Street — outside No.39 to be precise! Car shots are unpredictable at the best of times and with some reflection on the glass it can be difficult.”

“As it happened, it wasn’t until I checked on the back of the camera to make sure I had a frame of Prince William that I realized there was someone sitting next to him. It turned out to be Catherine!”

Bennett’s account puts to rest speculation that Middleton’s silhouette was edited into the photo, which was fueled by her admissions Monday through an official X account that she’d edited the now-infamous UK Mother’s Day photo shared over the weekend.

That photo has sparked massive questions about the Princess of Wales’ wellbeing following abdominal surgery in January.
