Kate Middleton looks older than usual on magazine cover.

A photo of Middleton on a magazine cover was shared by a netizen on Twitter. In the snap, the Duchess of Cambridge looks older than her usual appearance.

“How old is Kate Middleton again?” the online user who shared the photo asked.

Several netizens commented that Prince William’s wife is only 38 years old. Some dropped Middleton’s birthday. Meanwhile, others commented that she seems to be already 40 or 42 years old.

Middleton’s appearance has been a subject of interest among royal fans, with some saying that she looks older than her sister-in-law Meghan Markle who is actually older than her. Earlier this month, another online user shared snaps of the Duchess of Cambridge and Duchess of Sussex. Several commented that Prince Harry’s wife looks younger, with one commenting that Middleton could pass as Markle’s aunt.

“Another important difference between Meghan and Kate is how Kate seems to be aging faster than Meghan - even though Kate is reported to be younger than Meghan - Kate Middleton - January 9 1982 - Meghan Markle - August 4, 1981. These images were taken in January 2020,” the netizen wrote on Twitter.

An expert also revealed that Markle could age more gracefully than Middleton. According to Stuart Miles, an anti-aging expert, this could be down to their genes.

“She [Markle] has the most amazing skin which will age really well. It has natural oils and a natural olive tone which will provide protection but also keep her looking glowing,” Miles explained.

“Kate has the English rose complexion but needs to be careful and protect her delicate skin as she ages.”

Last year, there were rumors that Middleton got “baby botox.” Dr. Munic Somji of Dr. Medi Spa Clinic used the duchess’ photos in promoting his clinic. He used two pictures of Middleton highlighting the duchess’ “before” and “after” looks following the procedure.

Middleton, looks younger in the second shot. There was a notable reduction of fine lines in her forehead and the depression of the medial brow. He added that 90% of her patients who get baby Botox are happy even after 3 to 4 months. The palace denied that Middleton got the procedure.
