Speaking on US television in June 2007, Charles and Diana’s eldest son admitted: "I really remember one story in particular which was very hard
for her."
"Someone said something like 'cellulite' and for a woman in the public
eye she was so glamorous, always in the gym.”
Recalling the level of antipathy which was directed at his mother – especially by
female newspaper columnists – during what was a lengthy period of highly personal
and often downright nasty commentary relating to the weight of the princess who had previously gone public about her battle with bulimia, William continued: "It's just outrageous that these people sit behind a desk
and comment on it."
Referring to the emotional support both he and Harry offered their
mother during such times as this, William revealed: "There were many times we had to cheer her up and tell her
she was the best thing ever."
With
Kate apparently content to stay behind palace walls and exercise in
private, we can only hope she won't become the next generation of royal partner to suffer a level of personal scrutiny the likes of which few
women could accept.....

I absolutely agree with your comment . And I very much doubt that Kate (and/or Pippa ) wander in and out of C/H whether William is around or not !

Comment: "but they live together without killing each other"
Since when have they lived together? I doubt that claim very highly. Besides, most domestic discord is most often hidden from those on the outside so you cannot possibly say that there's no trouble with these two. So much for that. Personally, I don't really like what I see with Miss Middleton. There's just something not quite right with that girl. Something I can't put my finger on. But then again I don't really care who William dates, marries or who he divorces. It's all blah to me.

Comment: No, Blue, you are not the only one. Wouldn't Prince William's future happiness seem more likely if the young lady he's dating so seriously were a bit more his equal by birth and social standing.....and if she didn't appear to be so ambitious and eager - at all personal costs -- to be a Queen Consort? But she has managed to hang on through thick and thin for about five years or more. That's a very long time for a young woman to be just a girlfriend. Could she have fashioned herself into the same sort of emotional"crutch" Camilla is?

Comment: I think Kate has shown her loyalty, so far so good. She has not complained when he wasn't going to take her to his passing out. I think Kate really loves Wills, it is really hard to know for sure, but they live together without killing each other. There haven't been reported scenes of crying and freaking in public, which I think is a big one. I don't know about Chelsy and Harry as long as they being supported by public funds it isn't any of our business. On the other hand...

Comment: Exploora...lol! With HM, I don't think it's as much a pout as it is not being 'amused.' Chelsy, on the other hand, has perfected the Posh-like pout. IMO.

Comment: I am the only one that thinks Kate is not good enough for Wills? I just wish he would date more girls before getting this serious.

Comment: I think it is a good idea that she has her own gym.
I was at a public gym today, and one of the women in the change room was just glaring at me, and continued to glare at me in the hallway standing beside a man of course, and another time two girls just took my knapsack and threw most of my stuff but groceries on the riverbank, they took my groceries and organizer. They were on video, and were caught with my organizer, they had already eaten the cheese. People get their cars broken into all the time at the gym. And then Di having that intrusive picture of that little bit of cellulite on her bottom, while she was at the gym and then having the picture land up in those horribly sexist tabloids. That bothered Wills too, not just Di. This appears to be one of the last memories of her, how upset she was having that happen to her while she was at the gym.
I know there is an all women's gym, but I find the women are worse than the men are to women at the gym. Going to the gym is supposed to be relaxing, and this horrible yob egoistic culture ruins the experience. And you could get hurt being tense while working out.
I think Wills is doing the right thing. He should buy Kate a robo cop too.
Kate has a nice figure, and would obviously look very nice on our stamps and legal tender. Though Chelsy does appear to have perfected the pout almost as good as HM has.

Comment: I can appreciate and perhaps even sympathize with the media’s desire to put Kate on the front page, given the current choices, but this is a bit far fetched. I sincerely hope she is laughing her head off at the ‘power’ that’s been attributed to her.
BTW, me thinks the Queen Mum’s gin still flows at CH.
With HM, I don't think it's as much a pout as it is not being 'amused.' Chelsy, on the other hand, has perfected the Posh-like pout.
