KATE DOESN’T

GET BOTOX!

The Palace Fires Back:

INSIDE THEIR MAGICAL

GETAWAY TO MUSTIQUE

For Prince George’s 6th birthday on July 22, Prince William and

Kate celebrated by taking the whole family to the tranquil (and

very private) Caribbean island of Mustique. “They love it there,”

says a source, noting that this is the second year in a row the

couple have gone. “It’s one of the few places they can really

switch off and have the freedom to be a normal family.” After

landing in a private jet borrowed from a friend, William, 37, Kate

and their brood, George, Princess Charlotte, 4, and Prince Louis,

15 months, settled into their island palace: a spacious six-

bedroom villa with a pool, spa, state-of-the-art gym and a private

chef. Says the source: “It’s certainly fit for a king and queen!”

K

ensington Palace is in a tizzy

over a plastic surgeon’s claim

that Kate Middleton has had

Botox. “Our Kate loves a bit of baby

Botox,” British plastic surgeon Dr.

Munir Somji from the Dr. Medi Spa

Clinic posted on his Instagram ac-

count on July 23 along with side-

by-side images of the duchess, 37,

with lines in her forehead in one

photo then looking smooth in an-

other. But a palace spokesman says

the allegation is “categorically not

true.” Baby Botox is similar to tra-

ditional Botox but is administered

in lighter doses and results in a

subtler look rather than the “fro-

zen” effect. “Patients come from

far and wide to see me for this pro-

cedure,” Dr. Somji added in the

now-deleted post.

THE CLINIC RESPONDS

When told of the palace’s vehement

denial, Sammy Curry, the clinic’s

marketing manager, kept the con-

troversy going, seemingly imply-

ing Kate could be a client. “We have

nondisclosure agreements where

we can’t disclose our high-end

clients,” Curry said. “We absolute-

ly can’t comment at all that she has

come to us.”

While numerous plastic surgeons

have told In Touch over the years

that they also believe Kate does get

Botox, a royals insider says the pal-

ace isn’t involved in a cover-up.

“Kate treats herself to facials but

steers clear of cosmetic surgery and

needles. Aging gracefully is some-

thing she feels strongly about,” says

the insider. “She wants fans to know

you don’t need Botox or fillers to

look beautiful.” ◼
