Princess Diana would’ve turned 50 years old on Friday, and Newsweek editor and longtime Diana chronicler Tina Brown imagines what her life would be like had she not died tragically in 1997. But it’s not the article that has people buzzing. It’s the cover, in which a computer-created 50-year-old Diana walks with a smiling Kate Middleton. Click on a link, and you can see what her Facebook page might resemble (Sample Diana update: “Sitting with Beckhams front-row at Burberry. Love the shoes!”)

Oh, Photoshop…
OHMYGOD SHE’S BACK! ENGLISH ROYALTY IS RETURNING FROM THE GRAVE! RUN! RUN!!!!!!!!!!
The zombie apocalypse is upon us.
Creepy and SICK !
Putting a dead woman’s ghost on the cover. What are they thinking ?
Cripes. Did Andrew Morton make the suggestion to do this. He always said that Lady Diana liked to be the centre of attention, just like himself.
Show some respect, you’re so insensitive and obviously uneducated if you speak about the dead like that! You have no class and no taste, I wonder how you would feel if someone you loved dearly was mocked by an insensitive troll like you.
My biggest problem with it is that I’m sure she would have let herself go by now. I suspect she’d be about 250 lbs. They should have gone with that picture, and her on a rascal.
I had no idea how to apparcoh this beforenow Im locked and loaded.
Too bad it’s not at least GOOD Photoshop…
EXACTLY. Try hiring some talent, Newsweek.
Ugh, I don’t know anyone who looks that bad at 50. Especially not a woman with her kind of money. Was Diana a five pack a day secret smoker? Why didn’t they yank out some teeth while they were at it? Sheesh, and Newsweek wonders why no one takes them seriously anymore.
Yeah, Tisa. YOU sure sound like somebody we should all take seriously. Shrill envious cow.
@Jennifer Tells it Like it IS,
You’re a moron. Tisa isn’t envious of Diana or even commenting about Diana herself. She’s commenting on how bad Newsweek made Diana look.
Tisa is correct. They did make Diana look awful and older than 50.
The fact that Newsweek would sink to such sensationalism is disgusting and unprofessional. Tina Brown has made the magazine into a joke.
What Rose said. JTiLiI, what the hell is Tisa envious of? Bad photoshop? A crappy magazine? Anyone who uses their name in the third person, especially on a comments board, will NEVER be taken seriously.
I am confused. Tisa said the artist did a bad job by making Diana much older looking than most 50 year olds. Yeah, the joke that she nearly looks toothless is kinda lame, but she didn’t say Diana looked toothless. How is that envious or using her name in the third person? Way weird reactions.
I really dont get it why story from UK doing here, we dont need it EW take it back to raining country
I really don’t get why some dumbasses post nonsensical comments. Go back to school or even better- just go AWAY.
You don’t own a passport do you?
Newsweek is an American magazine.
Newsweek I no read, is bad magazine edit by crackhead prostitute. I read the Entertonement Wekly for the globall noose.
Yes it has been raining quite a bit this year in the states but I must say that the UK is much rainier.
Good lord, they made her look terrible! She’s only supposed to be fifty, but she looks fifteen years older than that.
She needs to eat a sandwich. Or some brains, if she is indeed a zombie.

Crossfit Endurance Team,I wanted to take a mmnoet to thank you for all you do! I strictly followed your endurance protocol and my Crossfit box’s strength and conditioning WOD while training for Ironman Arizona. I was able to complete my goal by finishing in 11 hours and 44 minutes. This was my first Ironman! I never wavered or was scared that I needed to mix in some LSD workouts. Thanks for all you do! I couldn’t of done it without your team. I look forward to continual improvement using crossfit endurance!
IS there a second half to this article? It seems to end abruptly.
This is way more helpful than antyhing else Ive looked at.
Begun, the great internet edutacion has.
Thanks Wouter. I noticed the ualbmr part as well. I am just unsure, if it just seems like it, because of all the layers Ib4m wearing, or if Ib4m indeed a little rounded. I will keep it in mind thought. Do you have any suggestions about the head. It really bothers me, that I canb4t keep it in line.
Did the 125m row’s yesterday with 10kg weihgt in a back pack. It was not as easy as Tue session with out the weihgt but my split where better even though my legs were sore (still are) after the strength and conditioning work done this week. times: 23.2-23.6-23.7-23.8-23.2-23.5-23.4-23.2-23.4-23.2. Managed to keep the stroke rate at 40 to 41. Amazed at how strange the weihgt made the session feel.
I am at a complete loss for words. No wait, found one-nauseating.
Creepy also fits. Newsweek just seriously jumped the shark and moved right into tabloid territory. But that is what Tina Brown did to a once venerable publication. Too bad.
I’m impressed by your writing. Are you a prefossoinal or just very knowledgeable?
I usually despise any attention the Royals get in this country, but I have to admit that Kate Middleton is incredible to look at.
YES. Kate Middleton is gorgeous, but Pippa is the hottie.
Me too – it makes me sick that a supposedly democratic country still is backwards enough to have a monarchy in 2011, and people accept it. What a bunch of morons.
Although I respect Harry and Williams military and charity works, I think it’s a complete waste of tax payers’ money to give to the Royals when they’re not really ruling the country. The PM and House of Commons enact the laws and run the country. I don’t really see the purpose of the queen anymore except to appear at events and wave at people.
It’s their country, their heritage, their choice. You don’t like it, don’t move there.
Newsweek has sucked ever since it was bought by the Daily Beast people.
Amen. Total garbage now.
disgraceful.
The hell? Let her rest in peace already.
Each run is separate. Yes, there is rest after each iavnrtel. Work:Rest 1:1. Rest the exact time it takes to complete each iavnrtel in a set. (200m in 35s, rest 35s, 400m in 1:20, rest 1:20, 600m in 2:00, rest 2:00, start the next round). No extra rest between rounds.
wow, thats pretty lame.
Have the boys, now men, not suffered enough? Great way to kick start the mariage and the hope of a new and hopefully improved monarchy.
Yeah, this is a bit uncalled for. You might as well punch Will and Harry in the gut. Even though they’re royal, can we just give them a break?
Newsweek, like most other obnoxious media, has crossed the line again. The ” peanut gallery ” comments are even worse. Snark is the disease. Keep spreading hate? You become responsible for more deaths than you know.
The snark in the comments here is directed at the magazine for their disturbing story and fake pictures.

“Keep spreading hate? You become responsible for more deaths than you know.”
WTF??? Making comments on how awful Newsweek is to do this story about Diana is “spreading hate” that will lead to “more deaths’??? That doesn’t make any sense.
She looks like Zombie!Diana rather than What If?Diana
This is wrong and Tina Brown/Newsweek should be ashamed.
Who thought this would be a good idea?
Probably the person who no longer works there is my guess!
This is so stupid. Newsweek is truly the bottom of the barrel.
Great idea. Well done. Things like this should be done more often.
Extremely poor taste.
Awful. Diana can’t even find peace in her death.
This is so wrong.
