You Are Going To Lose It When You See Prince Harry & Meghan Markle’s Time Cover–They’re Barely Recognizable!
September 19, 2021 by Maria Pierides
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have just made the Time 100 Most Influential list for 2021, and as a result, have featured on one of the publication’s front covers.
However, the front cover, shot by photographer Pari Dukovic, seems to have caused a stir on social media (are we really surprised?) as some people are criticizing it for being “overly airbrushed”, while others seem to have issues with the way the couple are posing. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are a controversial couple, to say the least, so it doesn’t surprise us to learn that their magazine cover – and their inclusion on the list in general – has had mixed reactions from the public.
“The airbrush is doing some heavy lifting there,” one Twitter user wrote, while another said: “The cover looks so fake… oh wait it’s because they are.” “Terrible retouching job. They look CGI,” another added, while someone else suspected that Prince Harry’s hairline wasn’t as it appears in real life. “Is Harry wearing a rug? Or just overdone the air brushing?” the social media user wondered.
The airbrushing wasn’t the only issue that the internet had with the cover, as the way the couple are posing, in particular, the way the 37-year-old Prince is standing behind the 40-year-old former Suits actress also sparked a lot of controversy. “Who approved this shot? Is he standing? Is he sitting? Is he holding on to her shoulder so he doesn’t fall? Why would you make such lovely looking people look like this?” a concerned Twitter user asked. “Its like he’s cowering behind her,” another commented.
