Grazia Admit To Making Kate Middleton Look Skinnier On It's Cover

Everyone was astonished when Grazia's Royal Wedding edition came out and Kate Middleton's waist was shrinked down to that of a give year old's.

At first the popular British magazine denied that they had altered the new Dutchess of Cambridge's figure, saying that they did not us special effects to change her body:

"We did not make any changes to the image of the Duchess of Cambridge to make her look or appear slimmer than she is".

But today the glossy mag has come out and admitted that they did in fact alter her waist but have not directly admitted they were in the wrong:

"The image had been altered to remove the arm of Prince William so that the duchess could be featured on the cover alone. This involved mirroring one of the duchess's arms and an inadvertent result of the change was the slimming of her waist."

Hmmm, they're not really taking the full blame but that cover was such a bad image for young women to see. And Kate is skinny enough as it is!

A spokesperson for the couple said the pair loved their time in the secluded paradise:

"The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have returned to the U.K. from their honeymoon in the Seychelles. The couple thoroughly enjoyed their time together, and they are grateful to the Seychelles government for their assistance in making the honeymoon such a memorable and special ten days."

William and Katherine Head On Their Honeymoon... Finally!

They have finally managed to escape!

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have left for a two-week honeymoon in a secret hideaway in the Indian Ocean. According to reports the newlyweds will stay in an exclusive villa that costs £4,000-a-night and is located on one of the most beautiful and romantic islands in the world, the Seychelles.

Will and Katherine are believed to have flown out by private jet yesterday before being taken by helicopter from the mainland to the tropical retreat. William's car was apparently seen leaving Anglesey, north Wales, yesterday accompanied by a police Range Rover piled high with luggage.

A spokesman for the couple confirmed that they have left on their honeymoon but would not clarify if they had headed to the Seychelles as widely speculated:

"We are not confirming and we are not commenting on speculation on where they may be going on their private honeymoon, we are just confirming that they have gone. The couple have asked that their privacy be respected during their honeymoon."



The newlyweds could be staying in a secluded villa like this


If the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have chosen the Seychelles for their honeymoon they could well be heading for an idyllic location they visited four years ago - the island of Desroches. With only a handful of luxury villas built across the island, they will have the ultimate private location to celebrate their new life.

The area is well known for activities such as snorkelling, kayaking or diving are encouraged, its tranquillity is preserved with a ban on jet skis and similar watersports.

Details Of William and Katherine's Royal Reception Party!

It sounds like they had one hell of a party!

According to today's News Of The World, Newlyweds William and Katherine Wales had a night filled of music, booze and fun with their friends. And of course, it's been revealed that Prince Harry was up to his old ways and went "crowd diving" during the party!

According to guests Will and Katherine danced there very first dance as a married couple to Ellie Goulding's version of 'Your Song' which she sang live. Later the 300 guests surrounded the happy couple chanting the Beatles tune"She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah."

The main question on everyone's mind has been what were they drinking? Well according to sources they drank Laurent Perrier Champagne, Mojito cocktails and Sambuca Slammers (those wild things)! I knew the modern royals would party it up big time! A source said that they had never seen a party like it:

"Buckingham Palace has never seen anything like it. It was more like a nightclub than the Queen's house."

Among the exclusive guest list were Harry's girlfriend Chelsy Davy, princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, Zara Phillips with fiancé Mike Tindall and tycoon Richard Branson's daughter Holly. The 'nightclub' the source referred to was named 'the palace club' on the night and apparently has a large circular bar with tables filled with candles and get this... Haribo sweets!!!

Ellie Goulding sang at the party

Ellie Goulding was the main entertainment for the night singing 9 songs on the night including Bryan Adams' 'Summer of '69', The Jacksons' 'Blame It On The Boogie' and of course the Elton John cover 'Your Song'. A guest attending the royal party said it's clear Will chose the song as it was one of Dianna's all time favourites:

"It was a clear yet subtle nod to Princess Diana because she loved that song and William knew that. Elton is also very important to William because of his role at Diana's funeral. Ellie's performance was spectacular and even Prince Charles and Camilla ended up slow-dancing on the floor before they bailed out and left it to the young ones.

The highlight of the night seems to have been when the DJ hit the stage and he blared out The Beatles' classic 'All You Need Is Love' one guest said everyone crowded around the newlyweds and serenaded them:

"The song begins with a royal trumpet fanfare so all the guests gathered round William and Kate. During the fade-out The Beatles sing the famous chorus of She Loves You. At this point the DJ faded out the music and the guests started chanting, 'She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah!' It was a very special moment. I had goosebumps."

Best man Harry & Maid Of Honour Pippa

The DJ then moved on to play some of Wills' favourite modern rap tracks, including Dizzee Rascal's manic 'Bonkers' ( I can't even imagine them bopping to that) and 'Empire State Of Mind' by Jay Z and Alicia Keys.

According to partygoers Prince Harry acted as host on the night, making sure everyone's drink was filled and that everyone was being looked after:

"Harry was running the show and loving it. He was also getting pretty merry himself. He loves a party and this night was obviously no different. He was even jumping off the stage and dancing on window ledges.At one point he ended up on the shoulders of one of his friends with his shirt unbuttoned. But his girfriend Chelsy didn't mind. She knew he was going to be busy on the night and she's used to his behaviour by now!"

Chelsy Davy was among the 300 guests

The party came to an end just after 2.00 am but Harry dedicated a song to his big brother right before her left. Apparently Harry said: "OK, here's one more song but promise you will leave after! This one is dedicated to my brother." At that point, the DJ played his final track of the evening, rock anthem 'Sex On Fire'.

Sounds like one SERIOUS party!

Katherine Middleton's Reception Outfit Revealed!

The biggest event of the decade took place yesterday and everyone is still reeling over Kate's Katherine's amazing Sarah Burton designed dress from Alexander McQueen but fear not there is more fashion to discuss!

Katherine's second dress was a strapless white satin gazar evening dress with a circle skirt and diamante embroidered detail round the waist. The new Dutchess of Cambridge paired this beautiful satin gown with a white angora bolero cardigan, a beautiful contrast to the soft material of her dress.

And it's not just Katherine who blew people away with her gown at the wedding yseterday. Her sister Pippa's bridesmaid dress was a huge topic of conversation yesterday. Pippa then changed into this long emerald green gown with a plunging neck line. I still think she wore WAY too much tan but this dress is gorgeous.

Meanwhile people are already beginning to compare Katherine to the much loved style icon Grace Kelly. In these pictures below you can see the stark similarity between the style of Katherine's wedding dress and Grace's design.

I certainly believe that Katherine is the Grace Kell of our time, with her simplistic style, natural look and ageless beauty she is definitely going to be a massive style icon and a gracious princess to William.

Elton John Says Princess Dianna Would Like Kate Middleton

Sir Elton John has claimed that Princess Diana would be happy about the upcoming marriage of  her son Prince William to Kate Middleton.

The singer who is attending the royal wedding this Friday claimed that Dianna would be pleased with Will and Kate's relationship:

"I think it's the most joyous result and I'm sure Diana would be very, very happy about it... I think that she would be very happy with his choice. [Kate] seems such a great girl, and they seem so much in love."

Meanwhile Elton admitted that going back to Westminister Abbey will be hard since the last time he was there was for Dianna's funeral nearly 14 years ago. The singer admitted that the ceremony was extremely hard for everyone:

"The last time we were in Westminster Abbey, my heart sank when I saw those two young boys (Princes William and Harry) walking behind the coffin. I thought that was the hardest thing - I can't imagine at that young age having to walk in public, following your mother's coffin. And the next time we're in the Abbey, it's to see [William] walking up the aisle with a beautiful woman and the love of his life."

Elton and Diana were close friends

Although Elton seems happy about the upcoming wedding he added that the couple need to be cautious about all the media attention they are getting:

"Enjoy it while you can because the press are going to give you a bumpy ride. They are going to love you. They are going to hate you. I just hope they love each other enough to stay away from all that. There's one thing in the world if I could get rid of, it's that negativity of the British press - that hatefulness, that horrible nastiness that we have... Yeah [the wedding] is a fairytale thing and people criticise it and say we're making too much of it. But it's about love, and in this day and age anything that's about love and positivity is a welcome relief from what's going on in the world."
