Published Oct 18, 2012
A Newsweek magazine is viewed by a reader on June 29, 2011 in Washington, DC from the July 4 and 11, 2011 double issue of "Newsweek" featuring a cover photo that shows a computer-generated image of Princess Diana walking with Kate Middleton to depict what she might have looked like on her fiftieth birthday on July 1, 2011. The article inside was written by Diana biographer Tina Brown. Many readers believe the image to be tacky.
