London, Feb 19 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Britain’s Prince William’s photographs were splashed on the cover pages of the Hello! Magazine, in which he is sporting dark hair. Prince William has already been the receiver of many jokes due to his premature baldness. On the cover page of Hello! Magazine he is dressed in jeans and a polo shirt and smiling broadly. The pictures are quite close up, and show that his hairstyle is pretty different.
It is being speculated that whether the photographs are for real or whether they are photoshopped. Jeff Hubbard who is a homeless man-turned-photographer, took the pictures. He sold the images to the leading gossip and celebrity magazine for an amount that was not disclosed. This amount will go for charity.
However, a spokeswoman for Prince William told DPA Tuesday, “The portraits are pieces of art altered for artistic effect.” They say that the pictures were digitally altered to give the illusion that the 27-year-old heir’s hair had turned dark. A St. James’ Palace spokeswoman also said that the effect on the pictures was a result of studio lighting and digital color contrast. She however refused to divulge her identity, and agreed to spare the details only on condition of anonymity.
