Kensington Palace Shuts Down Plastic Surgeon's Allegation Kate Middleton Got Botox

Kensington Palace is firing back after a plastic surgeon implied via social media Kate Middleton got Botox at his London office.

Dr. Munir Somji posted a side-by-side photo of the Duchess of Cambridge on Tuesday to the Dr. Medi Spa Clinic‘s Instagram, writing “Our Kate loves a bit of baby Botox.”

In the supposed before and after photos, the 37-year-old looks slightly tired in the “before” and more refreshed in the “after.” The now-deleted post was captioned:

“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 percent of my patients have baby Botox and are happy even at 3-4 months post treatment.”

In a statement to the New York Post, a spokesman for Kensington Palace claims the IG post is “categorically not true” and “in addition, The Royal Family never endorse commercial activity.”

Now, it seems the whole thing could have just been made up for publicity! Sammy Cross, marketing manager for the Dr. Medi Spa Clinic told the NYP:

“We wouldn’t be able to disclose whether she is a client or not. 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. He 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.”

Hmmm… his wording really made it sound like she was a patient!

Sammy continues, explaining exactly what baby Botox is:

“This gives the effect of Botox, but you won’t have the frozen look. You will get expression in your face. It’s good as a starting point off with Botox because it has more subtle results than going into a normal procedure of Botox.”

And as for the doctor using the expression “our Kate,” Cross says she believes he is referring to “the UK’s Kate,” not Kate as a patient.

Honestly… who cares if she did or didn’t get Botox?! Kate is a momma of three and looks absolutely smashing!
