WillKat's second honeymoon...

[louloutheshamed]

They've gone to the Maldives without Prince George apparently (it's in the dm)

Seriously?? Think this might turn the tide of public opinion against them...seems its just one long holiday being the D and D of Cambridge....

gertie it's been widely reported for at least a year. Kate is fuming at the idea that the sister of her arch rival will be part of the fam. I can see that it would be a nightmare, especially since arch rival/ sister are very beautiful aristos, so it's all bad. Anyhow, it's not been kept a secret is the point. I don't get any sense that the press like Kate, but this is the most direct anti Kate article that I've read.

at Charm's deeply ironic 'effortlessly stylish'. Kate is to style as Diana was. Frumpy, safe and therefore beloved of the right wing press who curl up in a fond little ball whenever they see Kates reinterpretation of their beloved Sloane + beige, beige beige LK Bennett Sledge shoes. Brings back fond memories of their Foxtrot Oscar salad days and Mummy.

Slightly off-topic but this is factually wrong:

"I would think the mother from the poorest economic group would have a less healthy diet which would mean her BF baby gets a less healthy diet too."

Mum's diet impacts on her own health alone, not on the baby's. According to research (will try and find a link) babies will get everything they need from bm it he first six months, regardless of whether mum is on green smoothies and good vitamins or KFC and doughnuts.

Of course she is only in this position because she hung on like a limpet despite being humiliated....

You are on fire this morning Mignonette effortlessly incisive here, simultaneously sniffing out russian princesses elsewhere...

Obviously this is different during pregnancy when a healthy and balanced diet is very important indeed.

And, on a more gossipy note, I think Cressida is absolutely gorgeous and seems to have a thinking and interesting mind of her own. If she and Harry were to get married, I think Cressida would become the new 'people's princess', not Catherine. Catherine is way too guarded and hasn't got any charisma at all in my humble opinion. But I actually feel sorry for her because as nice as she seems, she will be ripped apart by the media and public.

I bet the royal spin doctors are keeping an eye on threads like this to gage public opinion. They'll be briefing KM soon and we will see her present herself in a more 'natural' and approachable way......

But... But... But..... you've all forgotten the baby bump after delivery and how -I- she appeared with roots in her hair. Everyone loved -me- her then.

But seriously.... something happened last year and I thought, "You lazy bitch, Kate, I'm deeply disappointed." But like the rest of the stories about the Royal Family, I forgot what it was.

OK Greysandybeach, I was mistaken, my point was though that it's of no interest to me whether she BFs or not.

I was responding to the OP saying this

When I heard she had left him I thought of this quotation from professor J Stewart Forsyth from Ninewells in Dundee - he is quoted in the politics of breastfeeding as saying
"a millionaire's baby who is not breastfed is less healthy than an exclusively breastfed baby whose mother is in the poorest social group" which I thought was quite apposite here.

It kind of turned the thread into a BF v FF thread.
I didn't agree with the statement above.

I don't understand why the clothes KM wears would sell out in minutes - she dresses like an woman her mother's age - not her age. Frumpy and bland. Perhaps she will be like PD and blossom later in life.

Erm, Kate Middleton is only four years younger than Diana was when she died.

Sorry, not much to add to the current discussion (but at least not continuing the BF/FF saga), but have had to laugh at the adverts I'm now getting. One for honeymoon packages in the Maldives and then next 1400+ ideas for a short break from Visit England .

Gertie - is she really > Shows how much I know!

Crikey. Just realised I am older now than DI ever was. That makes me feel v old.

"She's the sort of woman I could never bedrawn to befriend. She just looks so dull!! She's the type you dread being sat next to at a dinner party."

What a horrible thing to say about someone you've never met. Not a royalist or give a hoot about Will and Kate really - but all this crap is making me want to look out my Pom poms and shake them about!

It is a bit mean... I hope she doesn't read this thread :(

Out of interest, how can you tell someone is ^dull^ by how they look?

I'm going to say something treasonable.

Kate did NOT have that baby.

She got a surrogate.

She hardly put on any weight. She put on a fake belly like the way they do in films and DID YOU SEE HER STOMACH six weeks after she "gave birth"??? Where were the stretch marks? I mean, seriously - WHERE WERE THE STRETCH MARKS?????

Now Zara, on the other hand - she's a real mum. And we love her and her questionable dress sense.

Please don't ban me because of the above post.

Do they really eat swans?

Does anyone actually know that Prince Edward does all day? I mean, now, this very minute. What work has he done today?

I have never had any stretch marks either charmschool. 3 weeks after giving birth to my first I was 8st 2, and I didn't have a personal trainer on hand

Lots of people don't get stretch marks.

Some of the stuff said on this thread!

The queen had first dibs on all swans so don't even think of having free roast swan:)
Its all about the money for me. Although one benefit is of course we are spared a presidential campaign every four years with the likes of that slimy fucker tony Blair, and any other power crazy person vying for the top slot and spending all the RF money on private jets and salaries. Oh, wait...

But they aren't power crazy. Don't know why. If you were actually born into the royals and had a genetic history of wanting to be king and having power, it seems odd that power hungry gene has gone. You wouldn't have to spend much money getting your name and face out there, would you? And you'd already know everyone who mattered in these things.

Maybe william is even now plotting to take over the Maldives and the army will get a call direct from the royal iphone to get their arses over there and bring the flag:)
