Palace denies Kate Middleton got ‘baby Botox’

No wonder she always looks so gorgeous.

A top British plastic surgeon claims the Duchess of Cambridge uses Botox, hints she is a client and has displayed alleged “before and after” photos of the royal to promote the procedure.

Dr. Munir Somji, of the Dr. Medi Spa Clinic in the London cosmetic surgery capital of Harley Street, posted the images on his Instagram account, which have since been deleted.

He writes: “Our Kate loves a bit of baby Botox” under two photos of the 37-year-old royal.

In the “before” picture, she looks tired and has wrinkles. In the “after,” the mom of three appears unblemished and radiant.

“Note the reduction of fine lines on the forehead,” points out the physician. “But also note the depression of the medial (middle part) brow but elevation of the lateral tail of the brow.”

The award-winning surgeon’s words have drawn a warm reaction from some of the spa’s 48.6K Instagram followers. However, one user, Monica Bijlani, comments, “That’s mean” alongside a concerned face emoji.

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

So-called “baby” Botox involves injecting multiple amounts of the botulinum toxin into the face to paralyze the underlying muscles. It is designed to create a subtle, more natural look.

Asked whether Kate Middleton is indeed a client of Dr. Medi Spa — a mere 10-minute drive from her home in Kensington Palace — the clinic was coy.

“We wouldn’t be able to disclose whether she is a client or not,” marketing manager Sammy Curry tells The Post. “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.”

She said Somji posted Kate’s photos to Instagram because “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.”

She explains that baby Botox is the same as Botox, but the way it is injected is different. It is deposited in smaller amounts in more sites along the forehead and around the mouth than usual.

“This gives the effect of Botox, but you won’t have the frozen look,” adds Curry. “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.”

As for Somji using the expression “Our Kate,” she claims she thinks he is referring to “the UK’s Kate,” not the spa’s Kate as such.
