Face it celebs...this is

- By John Harris

AS time goes by... this is what these royals and celebritie­s can expect to look like in later life.

A new technology involving “facial mapping” has allowed an expert to add decades to the familiar images.

It shows the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the Duchess of Cambridge, all now in their 30s, as they might look in their 60s.

Supermodel Kate Moss is pictured as a 70-year-old while football hero Harry Kane and pop heart-throb Harry Styles have had 35 years added to them.

The pioneering Future Face software tracks gradual changes to the skin and areas such as the eyelids, cheeks and lips.

It also takes account of genes, skin colour, lifestyle, smoking, diet and exposure to sunlight when predicting what toll the years will take. And it uses as an anchor point things which never alter, such as the distance between the eyes. The software uses complex computer algorithms created by Harley Street facial cosmetic surgeon Dr Julian De Silva. He uses pictures of patients super-imposed over each other to pick up on key signs of ageing such as sagging skin around the eyes. Dr De Silva, from the Centre For Advanced Facial Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery, developed the technology to help plan out surgery for his clients. The expert applied the technique to Prince Harry, 33, his wife Meghan, 37, and their 36-year-old sister-in-law Kate. He said: “Meghan’s genes, olive complexion and terrific lifestyle choices suggest she will age the best of the wellknown people we tested. The Duchess of Cambridge is ageing beautifull­y but there is every chance Meghan will end up looking a few years younger than her, even though she is a year older.

“Harry will look increasing­ly like his father Charles in 35 years, when he will be 68. The royals have fantastic genes and do tend to live to a ripe old age.”

Dr De Silva said Kate Moss, 44, was still one of the most beautiful women in the world but she could pay the price for years of smoking and partying.

He said: “The rate of ageing of skin tends to accelerate when women reach 40 and the process has already begun with Kate.”

The doctor also predicted that years of touring and late nights might speed up the ageing process for Harry Styles, 24, who is shown as he might look at 59.

He forecast that 25-year-old England star Harry Kane’s superb fitness would stand him in good stead – but that being outside all year round could take a toll by the time he is 60.
