Magazine airbrushes baby Prince George

Britain’s Prince George isn’t even a year old, and he’s already landed his first airbrushed magazine cover.

The 9-month-old royal tot is Us Weekly’s cover star, and, true to form, they’ve given the heir to the throne a decent digital overhaul.

They enhanced gorgeous George with emerald green eyes, rosier cheeks and stronger strawberry-blond-tinged hair and brows.

The already adorable prince appears in multiple photos inside with darker brown eyes and paler cheeks.

A spokesperson at Us Weekly said: “The original image used for the Prince George cover was dark and bluish in tone and needed to be given an overall color shift for printing purposes. By no means did we go in and alter the color of his eyes or cheeks in this process.”
