Kate Middleton pregnant? Altered photo aims to fool

Kate Middleton likely isn't pregnant—again, or still—but the latest issue of Star Magazine claims the opposite. With a Photoshopped picture, the tabloid tried to trick its readers, making claims that the Duchess of Cambridge is actually expecting twins. On September 19, Celebuzz reported that the cover on Star was altered, making Kate look bigger in the mid-section.

"When put side by side with the original, untouched image of Middleton, distinct differences materialize. Not only has is her floral slim-fit frock been mysteriously blown out — photoshopped in magazine parlance — but [Kate] is mysteriously missing her right-hand ring on Star‘s 'It’s Twins!' cover," reported Celebuzz. Oops.

Kate Middleton has been pregnant several times according to Star Magazine and other tabloids. The infatuation with a possible new royal heir has hit a fever pitch. Now, over a year after Kate and Prince William married, many are expecting a pregnancy announcement. The royal couple has said that they want to start a family, but so far, false reports have completely taken over.

It seems clear that Kate and William are waiting to have a family because they have a lot going on. They have had plenty of obligations to fill and they really haven't had much down time. When the time is right, they will try to have a baby, and—chances are—Star Magazine won't be the first to report their happy news.

Obviously Kate Middleton isn't pregnant and she definitely is not expecting multiples.
