A photo of Queen Elizabeth donning a bright yellow outfit with United Democratic Alliance logo is fake.
The photo, which has been making rounds on social media, was doctored from a picture taken when the queen attended the first day of Royal Ascot at Ascot Racecourse on June, 19 2018.
The doctored image has been used widely, both by UDA allied leaders and supporters to illustrate how the Deputy President William Ruto-led outfit is gaining ground even outside Kenya.
Through image search tools The Star established that the photo was taken when her majesty was watching her horse 'Fabricate' run in the Wolferton Stakes on day one of Royal Ascot.
Royal Ascot is a four-day horse-racing event at Ascot, England that takes place every June.
It’s a social event, especially for upper-class people, where women wear expensive fashionable clothes and hats.
During the event the 96-year-old monarch wore a striking yellow outfit with a matching hat.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were also in attendance at the Berkshire race course.
With only two weeks until the General Election, detecting fake information has become even more difficult as social media has taken over political campaigns.
Therefore, it is the public's responsibility to verify information before believing or reacting to it.
