Princess Diana at Age 50: Newsweek's Computer-Generated Image

By Tracey Harrington McCoy Posted Jun 28th 2011 07:05PM

Princess Diana's 50^th birthday is only days away and to honor the late princess, Newsweek wrote a cover story speculating what her life would like now--complete with digitally-altered images showing what she'd look like in 2011.

The cover image shows an aged Diana superimposed on an image of out-and-about Duchess Catherine. Attention-grabbing? Yes. Creepy? Maybe a little.

Tina Brown, editor-in-chief of Newsweek and Diana biographer, penned the cover story, which also includes an imagined Facebook page kept by the Princess. PEOPLE reports that Brown also predicts Diana would have moved to New York, indulged in Botox and engaged wholeheartedly in the social networking site, Twitter.

"Diana would have been 50 this month," Brown wrote. "What would she have been like? Still great-looking: that's a given."

Princess Di was killed in an auto accident on August 31, 1997.

Shame on you, Newsweek. There's no way you can do the Princess justice here no matter what. How dare you try to guess how she would look today. Truth be known, if we were lucky enough to still have her here she wouldn't look a day older than she did the last time we saw her. Her beauty was timeless and impossible to duplicate. This is not only unfair to her and her family, but also to the newest member of the family, Kate.

No one cares if you buy another Newsweek. How many times do you see images of MANY PEOPLE TODAY VS. HOW THEY WOULD LOOK AT AN OLDER AGE? Talk about getting your panties in a wad!!!!!

Lighten up folks..only a pic. I have seen this ageing process many times. " After all, tomorrow is just another day."

By Barbara

Only a pic for sure but a spooky one indeed.....

@jackie don't tell us to lighten up it's just a picture.it's disrespectful and tacky

By SniffMeBalls

While your at it, lets see what Jonbenet Ramsey would look like at 21. This is low. I am sure Prince William and Harry don't appreciate this. Must be a slow news week for Newsweek (No pun intended)!!

By starla

"Predicts" is definitely not the right word here. You can't predict a future that has already been taken away. Speculate would have been more accurate; but regardless, it's a futile, empty, and ultimately tasteless undertaking.

By djk2

And......just a little bit creepy.

By soapvixen

By sueannnorton

Newsweek has really lowered their standards; looks like one of National Enquirers' bright ideas.... quite distasteful and an insult to all who loved her.
