..could turn the boob issue to her advantage by offering to become the patron of a breast-feeding charity?
Not really AIBU, just an observation!

I think the 'boob issue' has more to do with an invasion of her privacy rather than a stop-press: WOMAN HAVE BOOBS issue...

PetiteRaleuse · 19/09/2012 14:07

Why would she do that?
YABU for calling her Kate Middleton.

aldiwhore · 19/09/2012 14:41

I think she has turned on it head by the fact that in the actual pictures she simply looks like a young woman on a private holiday with her husband... and by carrying on regardless and leaving all the nasty stuff to the lawyers.

The invasion of privacy is being dealt with, and thats the only part of the story that made me angry (ish) and I'm glad that she hasn't apologised or said anything to make anyone think she's done anything wrong.

No I don't think she should use this at all. Though it would be great if she chose such a charity because she simply wanted to, but not off the back of this.

PetiteRaleuse - I noticed that in the court documents where he was named as William Arthur whatever whatever whatever Mountbatten Windsor, she was named Catherine Elizabeth Middleton, which I found quite interesting.

enaj1308 · 19/09/2012 15:39

In fairness, she is down in the legal documents for said 'scandal' as Mrs Catherine Middleton.

FutTheShuckUp · 19/09/2012 15:40

erm- not quite following you.
You think because her privacy has been invaded and she has been photographed with BREASTS she should become a patron of something totally irrelevant to her?

trixie123 · 19/09/2012 15:40

Christ, the poor women is going to be beleagured enough when (if) they have kids over the feeding issue, every bloody choice they make for their child from the moment it's existence is known of will become hotly debated (probably on here) and whatever she does it will be wrong - don't blame her for staying clear of it all as long as possible. If she was to do that now, people who didn't or couldn't breastfeed would no doubt have a go at her for not knowing what she was talking about

ShirtyKnot · 19/09/2012 15:46

Or she could become a spokeswoman for nudists.

MrsCarriePooter · 19/09/2012 15:49

She should definitely sign that Page 3 petition.

CakeBump · 19/09/2012 15:49

ok I'm getting confused here:

Kate Middleton tits out = ok
Page 3 tits out = not ok
Breastfeeding tits out = ok
Man boobs out = what say we? I think I'll go "not ok" on the grounds of "gross".

GoldandOrangeAnnunziata · 19/09/2012 15:51

But she hasn't ever breastfed Confused

ShirtyKnot · 19/09/2012 15:58

Or she could become a spokeswoman for peas.

IvorHughJanus · 19/09/2012 16:03

I think she should be spokesperson for Beige Shoes.

WorraLiberty · 19/09/2012 16:06

What a weird idea.

You do realise she doesn't have children, don't you?

ShirtyKnot · 19/09/2012 16:06

Spokeswoman for spokey-dokeys.

NowThenWreck · 19/09/2012 16:09

peas! Grin

FutTheShuckUp · 19/09/2012 16:09

No cakebump- Kate Middleton= tits out NOT okay- thats what all the furore is about dear! And breastfeeding= tits out- try breastfeeding without your tits out and see how easy it is!

NowThenWreck · 19/09/2012 16:10

Spokeswamn for those non-slip mats you put under rugs.
Safety first.

NowThenWreck · 19/09/2012 16:10

spokeswoman. sausage fingers.

NowThenWreck · 19/09/2012 16:11

Spokeswoman for Sausage fingers!

ShirtyKnot · 19/09/2012 16:22

Spokeswoman for quail. Poor the Quail.

seoladair · 19/09/2012 16:26

Ok, no-one likes the idea [chastened]
I think she's being treated dreadfully, and thought this would be an interesting reaction to her current situation.
Regarding her never having breast-fed, she's patron of a childrens' hospice charity without having had experience (AFAIK) of terminal illness in children, and also represents an addiction charity without any family links to addiction (again AFAIK).
Anyway, it doesn't really matter; she's not exactly watching this thread looking for ideas about what to do with her life!

IvorHughJanus · 19/09/2012 16:28

But if she were, which of these fantastic suggestions would she choose?

Trills · 19/09/2012 16:28

Kate Middleton tits out - ok

Breastfeeding tits out - ok

Kate Middleton tits out photographed without consent - not ok

Breastfeeding tits out photographed without consent - also not ok

seoladair · 19/09/2012 16:33

Re beige shoes,
I have an actress friend who got advice from a professional stylist, and the stylist was obsessed with beige shoes. I don't know anyone who wears them. in RL.
