Is the Duchess of Cambridge really a "plastic princess" as inferred by Booker Prize winner Hilary Mantel, or just another nice person who's getting the short end of the stick?
The Royals' main purpose in public life these days seems to be to act as a target for people like Hilary Mantle who want everyone to realise they are still alive and have products to sell.
No I don't suppose it really matters. But while on the subject of royal women, has any of them ever been a bimbo?
The most annoying aspect of this celebrity personification of the nation is when they start moaning about the the likes of the paparazzi taking pictures of them in bikinis. The only ****ing point of the existence of your office is that you be a national celebrity - if you don't want the fame part then what exactly else do you do?
Eleanor of Acquitain had a particularly low IQ back in her day but Princess Di surely wins the award hands down?
You would think Hilary Mantel walked up to "Kate", poked her aff, sniffed her fingers and said "yer maw" with the reaction in the media to her comments ...
So because you're famous you need to deal with photographers and journalists? Bet you're one of these arseholes that complains when a celebrity smacks a camera man about
If fame is a choice and you are fully aware of what you are signing up to then yes. Lots of people have the opportunity but choose not be famous, because they don't like photographers and journalists chasing them around, ye know?
Chase the media to drum up a profile so that bums can be plonked on cinema seats. I think it actually happens.
Is fame a choice or is it something some people are prepared to tolerate onm the gorunds that they are in love with someone? Anyway, yes they must accept that they are going to be photographed but these days i think it's way too intrusive. All the pictures of pregnant women in teir bikinis are now mind numbingly tedious. What amazes me is that this stuff actually sells - who's buying papers and mags for that sort of thing?
Don't get a job in the sewers then complain about the smell of ****e. The majority of these famous pricks deserve to get abuse by the paps.
