The other night Brian Williams on NBC lamented the fact that a
“prying” photographer had captured topless photographs of Kate Middleton, wife of Prince William of Great Britain, when the couple were on vacation in the South of France. I expressed my sympathy for Middleton, and my wife bridled. She said:
I have no sympathy at all for her. She accepted a job, and we all know what the job is. She’s going to be the queen of England, the richest woman in the world. Well there’s a tradeoff. You don’t take your top off on vacation.
She wanted to relax in a place where she could have expected privacy.
That’s absolutely absurd. No woman needs tanned tits. It’s stupid and vain, and completely unnecessary when you’re going to be the Queen of England. She’s obviously a ninny. And they’re both ninnies, to be so upset about it that they want to sue newspapers because a woman took a picture of them. They don’t get it: That woman was a paparazzi, she was doing her job. Miss Ninny Kate Middleton was not doing her job, which may be a ridiculous job but she will be paid an enormous amount of money for doing it. She’s a nitwit, she’s a Sloane ranger– and you can’t say any of those things about her grandmother in law, Queen Elizabeth 2. I’m not a royalist, and maybe it should be taken down, but if you’re going to do it, do it well. Queen Elizabath 2, that’s Kate Middleton’s role model, and she knows she is the richest woman in the world because of the job she’s doing, and there are many things she can’t do, the poor Queen.
Oh it’s not that bad.
I think it is that bad. It’s 365 days a year of working and serving and you can never be alone. That’s why Prince Philip got a urinary tract infection. He couldn’t even go when he needed to. But that’s the deal.
The paparazzi killed Kate Middleton’s late mother in law.
Right. And why didn’t Kate Middleton learn from that? The paparazzi– that’s the whole deal with the royal family. They’re special; so they get their pictures taken. If the woman who runs the dry cleaner goes sunbathing with her top off, the paparazzi would not be taking her picture.
Diana had her picture taken in compromising situations.
She was using the press, she was manipulating the press, because she wanted her husband to see how hot and beautiful she was as compared to the Rottweiler. And this little ninny seems to be doing it for no reason at all. Poor Diana lost the game, tragically, but she had a reason. She also had given up the job, not that it mattered.
How long had Prince Charles gone out with the Rottweiler?
I don’t know– since he was 13? He has mommy issues. Because again, Queen Elizabeth 2– she’s not a mommy, and she’s not an exhibitionist. She’s queen.
That family needs to give back the bloody money (goods etc) they stole from others. What is with the folks in the U.K. keeping these thieves as royals. What is up with that? All seems so silly, frilly and sickening
Listen to your wife.
Sloane rangers are female upper-crusters who live in Sloane Square, London; judge people by their class and go around saying “yaah” instead of ‘yes’. A Hooray Henry is the male equivalent. Snoots, in other words.
And the wife is right, Phil. Ninny ain’t doing her job right, doesn’t understand the job she signed up her life for. And the job demands you NEVER be natural, or yourself. Institutionalized decorum, decorum, decorum: for breakfast, lunch, high-tea and supper. Now I can’t think of a more disturbing lifestyle. Well actually, I can: colonialist zionism.
Seriously.
Isn’t this a bit off-topic? You’re setting a lousy example for the rest of us.
…keep this up and I’m going to post a screed about how awful cheap California Chardonnay is. There’s bass fishing…the Zen of gardening…getting useful labor out of teenagers…my exciting travel plans for next year…the pros and cons of slot limits for trout…
You don’t want to go there, buddy.
well, i think william over reacted. he should let a little more diana rub off on him. i don’t agree with either you or cynthia, i think the definition of queen needs to morph a little. i think queens should be able to sunbath nude,and sometimes they just get caught that’s all. and if william doesn’t want nude photos of his wife he should post sentries all around the border (sans cellphones with cameras, yeah right) and make sure photographers are not hiding in the bushes. oh f it. women like to take their clothes off. why should kate be any different?
these people need to out themselves as somewhat normal because the whole thing is a facade anyway isn’t it? we could all play that part. think of that young actress who was from new york and found out she was the daughter of the prime minister. i can’t remember the name of the movie. colin firth was her father and tavolta’s wife was her mother. kelly something. anyway..royals are just people, so she should get used to it. besides, he probably married her because she’s got a tad of his mother in her, and look at what diana did for the royals. and besides, what does kate think of all this anyway? who knows. let her take her top off and change the definition of queen. there have been naked queens in the past.
maybe i will have a different opinion in the morning.
