Finally something to distract the masses from the loss of Seth to the (speculated) demise of the forum.

There was an explosion in KC just a little bit ago.

Maybe that will take our minds off all this.

you need to actually here what she said.. to get the full view of it.. regardless of the context it was said, Kate can't reply due to who she is married to..

I do find it off key due to that and she's had enough on her plate with other things and being pregnant.

it just seems like the idiot author is trying to get publicity for a book , much like another few folk who make stupid remakes.. many  brits can name of recent times.

she's a 60 year old woman who should be far more verbose in her words.. also the fact she has a CBE.. ya know the royals gave the author that.. and yet she's quick to slate them.


it does come across on a personal attack on her and that;s what annoyed folk.

Shouldn't they be more concerned with who might be the baby's father?  I heard that she and Strummy had a cup of tea and a wild romp scone a while back...

A typical Daily Mail reader 'tutt-tutt' point of view. 
 
That is the papers type of readership and the type of reaction it goes for, the Yahoo article you linked to there MM hints at a better perspective of the whole thing, these comments were part of a historical discussion on the topic of the Royals and the public over centuries.
 
I think what the author said here, many have quietly thought.
 
Nobody else gives a monkeys.
 
It doesn't reflect badly on Kate's character anymore than McCartney's 'Her Majesty' did the Queen, it's more of a comment on the tailored and presented image.
 
I just remembered too that Anne Boleyn got to a point where she couldn't answer back because of who she'd married either...

 "a jointed doll on which certain rags were hung ... a shop-window mannequin, with no personality of her own." 

High praise indeed for a Royal.   

What was the bad part?
