Jezebel points out that the fine folks at Grazia might have done quite a number on Kate Middleton's waist on its recent cover.

The British glossy appears to have digitally whittled down the duchess' middle, which is pretty ironic after the country's tabloids spent a good chunk of time and ink debating her weight .

Grazia blogger Alex Butt previously told local NBC , "I mean she certainly has lost weight. The thing with Kate is that she's very sporty, she's very active, so she's always been very, very toned. But I think at the moment there's no denying she's slimmer than she has been."

Well, there's definitely no denying it now! Although Grazia did contact us with the following statement: "Grazia did not make any changes to the image of the Duchess of Cambridge to make her look or appear slimmer than she is."

Take a look at the mag's hack job next to an actual image of Kate on her big day. To be fair, the cover sort of has a jagged-edge, cutout aesthetic. Also, we really, kind of love Grazia. But, still.
