Who cares that she went ice skating this week, or that she is back with her ex.

What is with this countrys obsession with her?

I don't get it either. Couldn't care less.

She isn't that great looking, she needs to lay off the fake tan and as for her famous "bottom" ... I must ask: WHAT BOTTOM! She doesn't have one: completely flat.

A1980 · 22/11/2011 12:12

Meow!!!! My post I mean!

i think it is one paper that has an obsession with her

she does not have a bottom its flat but she is pretty and her sister married well that is it nothing more can be said about her

YABU to assume the country has an obsession with her. It seems to me that the Daily crap Mail has an obsession with her. Personally, I couldn't give a toss whether it is one person, one paper or an entire country as she isn't remotely interesting to me.

I thought she looked STUNNING at Kate's wedding, and that dress..! But since then I havent really thought much of her. She has a great figure but really isnt very pretty at all

Her love affair with the Daily Mail will deffo end acrimoniously.
I really dont get it. I'm almost missing Chezza Cole.

Its because she looked so good at the royal wedding

Bramshott · 22/11/2011 12:24

Well I must admit that I don't think I've seen anything about her since the Royal Wedding. I must live a sheltered life Grin!

EdithWeston · 22/11/2011 12:26

I hadn't noticed an obsession with her. I don't remember seeing anything about her since the wedding. Where is all this happening?

AliGrylls · 22/11/2011 12:33

After wedding there definitely was an obsession. Now though seems to have petered out a bit. I am sure 90% of the publicity is generated by her. She seems like an attention seeking type.

She is nowhere near as pretty as her sister, who I actually think seems lovely and not interested in being in the limelight.

MorelliOrRanger · 22/11/2011 12:36

What annoys me is the fact they keep calling her royal. She isn't a royal, she's the sister of a royal.

They are obsessed with her because she did look fantastic at Kate's wedding, but since then who cares?

I get all "Regina George" about her - "Stop trying to make Pippa happen".

WhereMyMilk · 22/11/2011 12:51

She's the sister in law to the future king-am sure we've all read enough SIL threads on here to know where that can lead...

grovel · 22/11/2011 12:57

She's dead common. The Middletons are arrivistes from Surrey. The media love the nouveau riche. She's a female Lord Sugar.

grovel · 22/11/2011 12:58

Oh, and she went commando to the wedding.

Scarydragontalk · 22/11/2011 13:00

AlpinePony that's brilliant Grin I massively want to watch Mean Girls now.

Iggly · 22/11/2011 13:01

I don't think the country is obsessed unless you read the DM which would imply otherwise Hmm

There are bigger things going on Grin

Scarydragontalk · 22/11/2011 13:02

And there is no national obsession with her, you just need to stop consuming shit media.

ouryve · 22/11/2011 13:05

I had no idea she'd done any of that stuff until I opened this thread. It's safe to say that we aren't all as obsessed as even you assume, so YABU, I'm afraid.

Shutupanddrive · 22/11/2011 13:06

Agree! And she hasn't got much of a bum at all from what I can see, so I don't know what that is about either
