..could turn the boob issue to her advantage by offering to become the patron of a breast-feeding charity?

Women in France are usually referred to as their maiden name all their life ln legal or otherwise official documents. Could explain why this is the case here.

PetiteRaleuse · 19/09/2012 16:36

Bfing such a divisive topic she'd be mad to get officially involved in sth like that whatever she chooses to do if and when.

Scouts and children's hospices etc much more neutral and less room for political stuff.

I have a pair of nude flats and also a pair of nude heels.

They make your feet look webbed.

She is Catherine Middleton. Even though women in Britain often use their dh's name, this is just a social convention and legally you are always the name you were given at birth, unless you actively change it by deed poll or adoption.

Petite - true.

webbed? How so?

Evasmum12 · 19/09/2012 16:44

Question- why is 'Kate' spelt with a K when it's a shortened version of Catherine with a C?

Hmm.

ShirtyKnot · 19/09/2012 16:44

Well, the flats do because they're the same colour as my feet and they then just end, so it looks like I have no toes. I think webbed was the wrong word.

IvorHughJanus · 19/09/2012 17:02

So you look like a witch from The Witches then Shirty? [helpful]

NowThenNowThen · 19/09/2012 17:26

When you think about it there is no such colour as "nude" is there? It depends what colour your skin is. One of my friends pointed out to me that nude for her would be mid-brown.

fedupofnamechanging · 19/09/2012 17:36

It's really hard to find 'nude' shoes which suit your particular skin shade and are comfortable. If I managed to find some, I would wear them all the time too.

LST · 19/09/2012 17:44

I have 3 pairs of beige shoes

(just thought i'd get that in there Wink)

In France, you cannot legally change your name. You retain your 'maiden' name for all legal matters your whole life.

wannaBe · 19/09/2012 17:56

why on earth would a woman who hasn't even been pregnant yet let alone had a baby want to be a patron for a breastfeeding charity? yabu btw

Sausage fingered spokeswamn for Peanut Smugglers Anonymous?

In fact, she could be a whole buffet arrangement.

Nanny0gg · 19/09/2012 19:29

karmabeliever - really?

Never knew that.

MrsjREwing · 19/09/2012 19:40

I have never known a Cate, so she went with Kate. Phillipa is known as Pippa and Catherine as Kate. Robbie Williams calls his dd Teddy, short for Theodora.

BartletForTeamGB · 19/09/2012 20:42

I was at university with a Cate, and I suppose Cate Blanchett is Catherine.
