Are these people for real?
Look, we’re all for a bit of healthy regal procreation speculation. Conspiracy theories as to why the Duchess of Cambridge is drinking water while everyone else is drinking wine, analysis of outfits and the strategic study of shift dresses is all in good fun.
But Photoshopping a baby bump onto Princess Kate? That’s just a bit ridiculous.
Apparently US magazine, Star don’t agree with us. Have a look at the cover picture they ran of Kate Middleton this week. It’s a shot of Kate during her royal tour in Singapore and it appeared with the headline: “It’s Twins”.
NEWSFLASH: It’s not.

Kardashian Kollection. Hmmm...
This from the UK press:
“The 30-year-old is seen standing in what is quite a typical pose, with her shoulders back and hips forward, with her arm resting across her midriff, as she toasts Mary Tan, the President of Singapore’s wife.
However, the gossip site Celebuzz suggests that Star Magazine has taken the liberty of retouching the photograph, to make it appear as though the Duchess’s stomach is larger than it is.
On comparison with what it believes to be the original photograph, the site says there are several glaring clues indicating that it has been airbrushed to suit the title’s headlines.
It reads: ‘Not only has is her floral slim-fit frock been mysteriously blown out… but Prince William‘s wife is mysteriously missing her right-hand ring’.”

In the photo with “extra limb” Theres not. Her leg is folded and it doesn’t look like they photoshopped her to have smaller thighs.

So ridiculous- have they not put 2 and 2 together and realised that there basically saying a photographer photographed the future queen of england topless and pregnant with twins…
loading...
This is a first – now they’re photoshopping her to make her bigger !!!
loading...
what i really don’t get is why, with the “nude scandal” still running, they felt the need to up the ante with the It’s Twins broadcast.

Star magazine isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. It’s always been the trashiest of trashy.

You read my thoughts!

Oh….leave poor Kate alone, will ya !
Unless she’s done something nasty to you personally and that would be highly unlikely.
F*** the papps and the saps who purchase the mags that feature the snaps !

It’s not the same photo. Look at her left arm, showing more in one shot than the other. Can’t really make the call in this case.

I cant really see the difference..

Oh wait. I just noticed they have shortened her arm to fit the outrageous glass of water on the cover. Still can’t see belly airbrushing though..?

It poofs out from under her right hand bebe, can you see it? They’re so silly! xx

Oh dear, poor Kate. I came to the conclusion that there is no possible way she was pregnant on this trip as she looked too lovely. No tired eyes, no slight hint that she may puke up that royal feast, not even a faint green tinge. (and yes I know that some people can be pregnant without a hint of morning sickness or tiredness. Not being one of them I find that really hard to believe!)

Believe it, with both my pregnancies I honestly wasn’t convinced i was having a baby.until my belly started to.show about 5-6 months. my only symptom was a positive HPT & the eventual kicks & tumbles inside
