For someone so beautiful, this isn’t pretty.

The face of the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, has been slapped on the front of a U.S. magazine with a set of yellow, decaying teeth.

The Royal was PhotoShopped like the American stereotype of a Brit with bad gnashers for a special issue of the politics and arts publication The New Republic about the future of Britain.

The 30-year-old, who is expected to attend Sunday’s Wimbledon tennis final, appears in front of a tattered Union Jack alongside the words, ‘Something’s Rotten. The Last Days of Britain.’

Inside are several articles about the state of the United Kingdom ahead of this summer’s Olympics which have sparked outrage online.

Last year the pearly white Duchess spent thousands of pounds having her teeth polished and turned to give her the perfect smile.

French dentist Didier Fillion used a
hidden brace to make Kate’s teeth appear a little out of line,
un-American and therefore beautifully natural.

‘He did some little micro-rotations
on Kate,’ his dentist Bernard Touati revealed. ‘That’s why they look so
good – because they are not perfectly aligned.

‘The problem in the United States is
they have very artificial vision. But what we like is a natural healthy
smile, but not artificial.’

Dr Fillion, also an expert in
polishing and whitening teeth, has a clinic in London’s Wimpole Street
as well as in Paris and Geneva.

Creating the perfect smile can take the Frenchman anything from six months to two years and costs from £4,000 to £11,000.

Brits having bad teeth is a staple of American humour about the UK. For example, in one episode of the hot comedy The Simpsons Lisa was shown The Big Book of British Teeth by her orthodontist.

One commenter said: ‘Not cool. I am not an imperialist (not even close!), but she seems to be
a genuine person. She is young, beautiful, and privileged. Apparently
grave sins to many people.

‘Yet I wonder if these are the same critics
who keep up on the Kardashians, or whatever flavour of the month
Hollywood squirts out.

‘She is a person who did not deserve this low blow. Shame on them. I will
wouldn´t even think to read anything from them ever again.’

One poster said it was ‘absolutely ridiculous’ and another said, ‘the magazine should be sued for libel’.

Lee, from Vancouver, said: ‘What else an one expect from a Republican magazine, they probably
dislike themselves. Satire or not, it is still very disrespectful.’

Another poster said: ‘Cheap shot. They know she will remain dignified and not say a word, allowing them to “get away with it”.’

The magazine is on news stands now in the State.

What is really sad, is how quick so many rose to attack another group of people because of a rag magazine, few have heard of and even fewer here would lower themselves to read. Honor truly is dying in today’s society………the rag has an email use it..

Oh, they always do pictures like that on their cover. If it was a British magazine with an American politician’s teeth blacked out the people from England would be writing in saying we can’t take a joke and we shouldn’t be so sensitive. So why do they think these are the last days of Britain? It’s not like Britain hasn’t survived economic problems before. Or wars or any other number of problems that seemed insurmountable at the time.

They have it right.
The UK is finished, is now decaying and stinks !

When I read the headline, I spluttered so much with indignant outrage that, one by one, all my rotten teeth fell out clattered upon the floor.

Some Americans may have money but they will never have class. This article is a great example.

Gotta say though if this makes them laugh let them..we do laugh at our magazines that pick on the Americans too! There McDonalds life style an all! Haha

Won’t be long before the magazine has to be published solely in Spanish so we English will not have to concern ourselves with it.

Isn’t this storm-in-a-tea-cup about her teeth completely missing the point? What people should be outraged about is the actual decay of Britain which The New Republic article is addressing.

There are many many poor and starving people in India. If Britain abolished the monarchy they can give all money to help these poor and starving people who do not have enough to eat. It is shameful that Britain pays the monarchy so much money when there are so many poor and starving people in India.

How about you pay for your own people, start by taking all the money you spend on nukes and giving it to the poor. Idiot.

Heads need to roll, this is vile and totally totally totally out of order …… and I do not mean the house of Windsor.
