The daughters of Formula One boss, Bernie Ecclestone, have made headlines by dubbing Prince William as horsefaced, and Kate Middleton as an “ugly version of Katie Holmes”.

Despite their privileged upbringing, it seems the sisters are not well versed in the etiquette of the high society, moneyed set in which they mingle.

Tamara, 22, and Petra, 18, went on their tirade in a German newspaper article, voicing their opinions on Princes William and Harry, and Kate Middleton, amongst others.

Tamara began by stating that she thinks Prince William “looks like a horse”. Petra continued by saying:

He is not setting a good example. He could have been working long ago, or at least do something for charity. I could never be with a man who looked like a horse.

Tamara followed up by describing Prince William’s girlfriend, Kate Middleton, as “like an ugly version of Katie Holmes”, and by stating that the royal brothers were “not the cleverest”. And in reference to Prince Harry’s ill-judged fancy dress appearance featuring a Nazi armband a couple of years ago, Tamara said “I mean, how stupid was that?”.

Petra, however, seems to think that Prince Harry is “really funny”, although she is not quite so complimentary about Prince William:

Prince William really has no personality. The guy is simply a waste of space. Prince Harry at least has an opinion and a character somehow. He doesn’t let himself be ordered about all the time. The thing with the swastika, he only did that to annoy his father. Prince William doesn’t do anything. He just goes to the Army, and every six months he comes home.

Here at British Royal Wedding we can’t decide if; a. These girls are totally lacking manners or b. the German interview was completely ‘lost in translation’…
