Did Newsweek Go Too far With This Cover of Princess Diana?

Last week, Newsweek tantalized their followers on Twitter.com by posting a snippet of this week’s cover along with a challenge to guess what it was. No one guessed that it was a photoshopped image of Princess Diana — as she would look today — walking with her daughter-in-law, Kate Middleton.

Princess Diana would have been 50 on Friday, but the Newsweek graphic artists digitally altered her likeness to make her look closer to 60. Naturally, the British people are howling mad at Newsweek’s Diana at 50 cover. The cover story: “If She Were Here Now”, was written with care by Tina Brown.

The issue is on newsstands, iPad, iPhone and your Kindle today.
