Think article about princes doing nthing is a bit harsh.

“In princes we trust to do absolutely nothing” is one of the best articles I have read in a long time. It might be harsh to some, but it’s the truth! You can’t expect everyone to turn a blind eye to their laziness.

The byline on the KN story about the Compton sisters says August. Is that a misprint?
September 28th, 2009 18:57
Probably yes. The reader comments in the DM are also from August 16.

Wow, Catherine Bennett sounds a little mad or bitter toward PC and PW by association.
September 28th, 2009 19:21
I agree. I notice the Queen and Princess Anne got a bye.

I guess this is the kind of thing that person “Elizabeth” was talking about the other day when she said Kate’s mum’s behaviour doesn’t suit the aristos.

Poorly written article, but I sort of agree with her.
September 28th, 2009 21:19
I feel a little bit sorry for CM.
September 28th, 2009 21:20
Contradiction?
One article says Pippa is dating Ali Spencer Chamberlin.
Then another article says one of the feuding sisters is dating him.
So, which is it?

I could care less if she were less than perfect as mother of the possible future Queen. I’m just tired of the Middleton bullying. That family did nothing to be picked on and scrutinized at this level. Carole showed up to support a wonderful cause. While I agree that that dress was intended for someone younger, she had a fine figure and great legs going for her. I don’t see the crime in it at all!

I actually like the dress on her and the idea that women of her age with that body may wear it, not only an Elle McPherson, the body, the super model.
Good to know ordinary people out in the world with extraordinary care for their physical appearance.
I think Chelsy’s mum has swaped clothing too. Saw some latest photos of tight skirt while shoping in London. Also a great figure !

Good for her, she may pay her latest debts.
Now Fergie doesn’t look good in short dresses, which she has worn and still does 10 years younger than Mrs. Carole Middleton. I know Princess Diana would look spectacular, she had great legs.

Did anyone else think the Express article about the Middletons’ changes to their garden (!) was unecessarily snarky? What’s up with them?
September 29th, 2009 20:18
^ I thought so, but it’s nothing new in the way this family has been treated. Sad and unnecessary, IMO.
