You've heard the jokes about the Brits having bad teeth. You've also seen countless pictures of Kate Middleton flashing her perfect choppers. Well, a new magazine cover isn't quite so kind to the Duchess of Cambridge.

For its issue about the future of Britain, The New Republic photoshopped Prince William's bride to look like she has yellow, decaying teeth. Kate Middleton stands in front of a shabby British flag under the headline: "Something's Rotten. The Last Days of Britain."

Many commenters were outraged by the "disrespectful" cover, which might have alluded a bit to the fact that Kate Middleton has reportedly had some work done on her teeth. That said, it's a pretty clever idea for a magazine cover. But did The New Republic go too far?

In Britain we joke about the state of Americans teeth!

I wish realistic was one of the choices because that's all it is. She's not perfect.

As a person of British Heritage, this really offends me. They are out of line. This is highly insulting, especially for the next Queen of England!

I don't really care, I still have the same respect for her and everyone else as I did a moment before. Was anyone hurt? Was Kate hurt? Or was she a good sport about it and let it go? We don't really need to make such a big fuss out of things, but I have to say, it was a little disrespectful.

That was a cheap shot. The magazine just wanted publicity and wound up pissing off an entire nation.
One more reason to hate America. Great.

60+ years of failed social experiments have nothing to do with Middleton so it was a pretty cheap shot to try and connect the two.

She's just another human. She only has value because people give it to her. The worst of leaders have been respected and lauded.

Anything that makes Brits realize that having teeth that would make a Jack o' Lantern proud of his own smile, has to be a good thing.

That rag needs to be sued. Not only is the photo 'retouched', it blatantly lies about it. I realize that it is probably a Euro mag, but still more reason to utterly destroy their bank account. That is what needs to happen the world over to news that is blatantly false, sue the crap outta them!

It's one thing to make an average model seem a bit prettier, but to make a beautiful woman seem less so just doesn't seem right. It's disrespectful to the woman and to her station.

It's out of line and just rude. You will notice that europeans by and large have lousey teeth. Like it or not, that fluoride in our water gives U.S. the best teeth in the world. That's not a "belief", it's a fact.

Even though I live in England, I'm not a mega-fan of Kate Middleton. Still, I think it's really disrespectful to have edited the photograph, and then publish it as a magazine cover.
It's also a bit offensive to Brits in general....

Most people in the 'spotlight' have had something done. She has done nothing wrong, yet they use her to discredit the future of Great Britain...oh well it is done...probably can't sue, as she is a public person, and that comes with the position
