Princess Diana at 50, Newsweek Cover Imagines (Photo)

In the new Newsweek, Tina Brown ponders what Princess Diana would be like today – as she would have turned 50 on Friday.

A computer-generated, age-projected image of a Diana shows her appearing to walk next to Kate Middleton, Prince William‘s bride.

“What would she have been like?” Brown writes of Diana. “Still great-looking: that’s a given.”

She goes on to say:

“Fashionwise, Diana would have gone the J.Crew and Galliano route à la Michelle Obama, always knowing how to mix the casual with the glam. There is no doubt she would have kept her chin taut with strategic Botox shots and her bare arms buff from the gym.

Remarriage? At least two, I suspect, on both sides of the Atlantic.”

Brown details all sorts of escapades that might have happened, with men, with her ex-husband, in politics and more. And would Diana have found peace? “Yes, I believe she would,” writes Brown.

But the Los Angeles Times ponders a different question – about the “jarring” cover, asking: “Shocking, brilliant or just plain cheap?” Most readers, it appears, find it “horribly” offensive. How about you?
