Did this magazine actually just airbrush a photo of baby Prince George?

 

 

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge wrapped up their Australian tour yesterday, but the photoshop scandal involving baby George stole the limelight from their departure.

Us Weekly have been accused of… enhancing George face to make him a little more cover-ready.

In the airbrushed photo, he appears to have greener eyes, rosier cheeks and blonder hair and brows. Take a look:

A spokesperson for Us Weekly said that:

“The original image used for the Prince George cover was dark and bluish in tone and needed to be given an overall color shift for printing purposes. By no means did we go in and alter the color of his eyes or cheeks in this process.”

Hmmmmmm.

 

So what do you reckon? Was this the ultimate royal faux pas?

oh that's not a big deal, they just changed the saturation. Things like that change with printing, even depending on the paper that they have to use.

They aren't the same photo. His mouth is slightly different and his position relative to Kate's hair is different.

The two photos were taken a fraction of a second apart.
