Kate Middleton was shocked and upset upon seeing her significantly altered photoshopped image on the cover of Woman’s Day magazine, and is furious they decided to modify her photo to make her look worse! The unflattering photo of The Duchess of Cambridge was the talk of everyone with eyes that saw the very obviously altered image which modified Kate’s looks so much, she was almost unrecognizable.
While Kate Middleton, like most women, feels a little “off” during a pregnancy, Kate still feels beautiful and feels very comfortable in her own skin, minus any photo enhancements. The Duchess prides herself of being down-to-earth and genuine, not pretentious or self-absorbed in any way. The fact that the mag made changes to her face made her feel as though they were expecting her to be unhappy with her looks. She was appalled, telling friends that she is happy with her looks and doesn’t feel she needs to have enhancements done to her photos as they are no longer legitimate. To make matters worse, the mag did a horrendous job of altering her picture, ignoring dark shadows and lines under the eyes, though adding a glimmer to an earring and what seems like a reshaping of her head.
Kate told those closest to her that she does not approve of altering photos and feels it sends the wrong image to young women. The Duchess of Cambridge is finally feeling better after her battle with acute morning sickness and is at a point in her pregnancy where she feels beautiful. The last thing she wanted was for her photo to be altered, most especially since that is against her principals and the mag made the decision to do so on their own—without her knowledge or approval. Kate Middleton has a reputation for being quite simple—recycling old outfits, wearing very little make-up, etc. She is upset that the magazine took it upon themselves to assume she wanted her photo enhanced and she is not happy with the final product. She is not alone. Most have panned the pic despite the mag’s effort to make The Duchess shine. Those closest to Kate believe that Kate would never have wanted the Australian Woman’s Day photo altered, even if they had done a good job of it.
