Scoop or scandal? Magazine accused of faking Duchess Kate's 'baby bump'

Scoop or scandal? Magazine accused of faking Duchess Kate's 'baby bump'

US gossip magazine Star claims Duchess Kate is pregnant with twins, and it's got the pic to prove it...

Okay, maybe not.

The magazine's cover features the duchess in Singapore on the first day of the Diamond Jubilee tour, seemingly pregnant. Her purple and pink floral dress bulges a lot under her arm.

Keen observers online are crying foul over the image, accusing the magazine of doctoring the baby bump.

Check it out alongside the original image:

While it's reasonable to expect a magazine would retouch its cover image — removing figures in the background and lightening Kate's face for clarity — Kate's dress appears to have been widened in the process.

Star magazine has yet to comment on the accusation.
