would there be such a furore if kate was papped breastfeeding?

Obviously it would be a bit wierd as she doesn't have a baby but. .........

If she had a baby attatched to said boob would it be such a baruhaha?

And yes. I'm tired and bored.

I think there would be. It would open up the ff v bf debate on a national level. It gives me a headache even thinking about it.

Yes because the media are still using a long lens camera to take pictures of her on private land. To me that is the biggest issue here...

I so hope she does breastfeed in public. Apparently the queen breastfeed her children.

If she bfing in public possibly not. Otherwise yes and quite rightly.

I'm going to knit and send her one of those baby hats whick look like a big boob. That'd look good in Le Closer.

It would be extremely weird given she doesn't have a baby!

I do think it would be slightly different, though the basic thing of taking a picture of her long lens on private land would be equally intrusive.

The thing is, she's getting lots of comments from this that are predictably horrible about her 'getting her tits out' or 'showing off her boobs' as a sex thing. Whereas if she were breastfeeding, it's not sexual and I think she'd have more support from people saying she was simply performing a natural maternal function.

It shouldn't be that way, that it'd feel different, but I think it is.

Don't the Royals have wet nurses? :)
