Kate Middleton photoshopped by 'Grazia'?

Kate Middleton appears to have been slimmed down on the cover of Grazia magazine.

Website Jezebel first claimed that the image of Middleton in her wedding dress was photoshopped to make the Duchess's waist look smaller for their royal wedding issue.

However, Grazia released a statement to the Huffington Post denying that Middleton's body was adjusted, saying: "Grazia did not make any changes to the image of the Duchess of Cambridge to make her look or appear slimmer than she is."



The Daily Telegraph agreed that the photo had been altered after tracking down the original shot by photographer James Veysey.

The newspaper suggested that not only has Middleton's waist been slimmed down but that the magazine has also duplicated and flipped over her right arm onto her left shoulder.

They explained that this is clear by the way that the embroidered lace detailing on both Middleton's arms falls in exactly the same spot, and the fact that the green leaves around the edges of her bouquet are perfectly symmetrical too.
