I did NOT have a boob job, says Denmark's Princess Marie: Royal issues a statement denying magazine claims she underwent breast-enlargement surgery
- Danish magazine claims Princess Marie underwent surgery in 2014
- Princess Marie has furiously denied claims she underwent breast surgery
- The Royal Family has issued statement saying she never visited the clinic
- Magazine which published the claims will now publish a retraction
- But its editor claims this is only because he refused to divulge his sources
Denmark's Princess Marie has denied she underwent breast enlargement surgery following a magazine's claim she had an operation in Lithuania last summer.
It was reported she underwent surgery to have larger implants and then checked out of the Lithuania clinic the same day in June 2014.
However, Princess Marie and her husband Prince Joachim took exception to the claim, which was published in last month's edition of Her & Nu magazine.

'Before and after': Denmark's Princess Marie, pictured in 2013, before the alleged op, left, and right in April this year, has furiously denied claims she underwent a boob job in Lithuania in June 2014
Although the magazine agreed to publish a retraction, its editor claims this was only to avoid revealing its sources, which it said were staff at the clinic.
The royal family has now taken the unprecedented step of issuing a statement denying the story and repeating the retraction due to be published.
It reads: 'In the article we wrote that Princess Marie a Saturday in June last year visited a clinic in the city of Kaunas in Lithuania, where the princess was "under the plastic surgeon's knife to get bigger breasts."
'This information was untrue.'
Princess Marie, pictured with her husband Prince Joachim earlier this year, says she has never even been to Lithuania, where the magazine had claimed she underwent surgery
It goes on to state Princess Marie has never visited the clinic in question, or even visited Lithuania.
Born in Paris, France, she married Prince Joachim in 2008, three years after the pair were first pictured together.
Educated in Switzerland and at Babson College in Massachusetts, US, she studied economics and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts.
She held down jobs for firms in both New York and Geneva before her marriage to Joachim.
Prince Joachim, the second son of Margrethe and Prince Consort Henrik, is himself sixth in line to the throne after his elder brother Crown Prince Frederik and his four children with Australian-born Crown Princess Mary.
The couple have two children together, Princess Athena, 3, and Prince Henrik, 6.
