LONDON -- Britain's Royal Mint has released a commemorative coin featuring supposedly lifelike portraits of Prince William and his bride-to-be - but critics say Kate Middleton has a right to be horrified.
Images of the couple on the memento bear little resemblance to either the prince or his 28-year-old betrothed. Middleton appears plump in the face and lips and has bags under her eyes. Some critics claim William looks like Al Gore.
Available in silver or gold, the 5-pound ($7.70) coin marks the April 29 wedding of the second-in-line to the British throne.

Maybe the Queen doesn’t like Kate any more than she did Diana.
Kate looks like Susan MacDougall...
Twats...
Being British, it is a wonder they didn’t find a way to make the coin leak oil....
Yeh...but does William carry a tyre pressure gauge tucked into his sock...like Prince Charlie?
Washington Post is saying it looks like Janis Joplin and Beavis...or is it Butthead.

This coin is a perfect example of why I hate anything but a profile on a coin.
Look at the obverse, clean version of the profile of Her Majesty The Queen used on numerous Commonwealth coins. It’s a classic look.
The reverse is a crowded mess, the engraving job is horrible, it makes the Sacajawea Dollar look like art.
Alderney should be ashamed of itself for issuing this in the Queen’s name.
Oh,that’s totally Tim Guithner.
That’s gotta be the best-looking ever photo of Janis Joplin.
She looked allright from the neck down but her face was nothing to write home about.
You beat me to it. The image is a dead ringer for Janis in her latter days. Looks nothing whatsoever like Kate Middleton.
ugly
ya thats better
Looks more like Harry than William.
By the way, Harry favors none of the royals..and where’d he get that red hair? Just sayin’..
i’ve always thought that to— if we only knew—lol
She is a very pretty young Lady. The coin does not do her justice.
Is that engraver blind, or what?
?????--lol
