  • Kensington Palace have "categorically" denied that Kate Middleton has gotten botox.

  • A before and after photo of Kate made the rounds on Instagram, prompting speculation.

Today in royal news you never thought you'd be reading, the palace is apparently out here denying that Kate Middleton got botox. But let's back up a second: why TF do people even think the Duchess got botox in the first place?!

Apparently, British plastic surgeon Dr. Munir Somji of the Dr. Medi Spa Clinic posted a "before and after" picture of Kate's forehead on July 23, which created some ~buzz~. “Our Kate loves a bit of baby Botox,” he wrote. "Note the reduction of fine lines on the forehead. But also note the depression of the medial (middle part) brow but elevation of the lateral tail of the brow."

It's true that Kate looks slightly different in the "after" pic, but a) it's called makeup, ever heard of it? And b) a spokesman for Kensington Palace denied that she'd had botox, saying that the Dr. Medi Spa post is “categorically not true” and that “in addition, The Royal Family never endorse commercial activity.”

Our Kate loves a bit of baby Botox. Patients come from far and wide to see me for this procedure. It truly is so simple... There is no excuse for doctors to leave patients with brows on the floor. Note the reduction of fine lines on the forehead. But also note the depression of the medial (middle part) brow but elevation of the lateral tail of the brow. The magic of baby Botox is that it does not leave you feeling so heavy and provides you with a subtle reduction of lines as well as a better eyebrow position. Now 90% of my patients have baby Botox and are happy even at 3-4 months post treatment #babybotox #botox #kate #katemiddleton #natural #subtleresults #faceanatomy #juvederm #aesthetics #cosmeticsurgery #plasticsurgery #drsomji #drmedispa #celebritydoctor

Meanwhile, Dr. Medi Spa (just ten minutes away from Kensington Palace) refused to confirm or deny that Kate was a patient. “We wouldn’t be able to disclose whether she is a client or not,” marketing manager Sammy Curry said. “We have non-disclosure agreements where we can’t disclose our high-end clients. We absolutely can’t comment at all that she has come to us.”

Oh, and the pics were posted to IG because the doctor "thought it was a good comparison picture to use to show the effects of Botox and obviously baby Botox which he does himself. He just wanted to show the transformation that it can create and obviously how it can be used for subtle results and how it’s really good for anti-aging.”

Bold move, Dr. Medi Spa.
