Kate Middleton; rail-thin, poised, beaming apple-cheeked and as posh-sounding as a 'middle-class' gel could be. The press are fawning madly, referring to the cruelty of the nickname 'Waity Katie' as if they hadn't made it up and repeated it over and over again. How long before they play 'Hatey Katie'? It will be a while, you can't help but enjoy it all-Diana has been missed.
Speaking of whom, I am officially Not Happy About The Ring. The sentiment I applaud -I found the idea behind its bestowing on Kate very touching. It certainly brought Diana into the forefront of our minds and of the press coverage. But Kate should have her own ring-not a great old-fashioned rock like Diana's sapphire and I say this as a lover of big vulgar stones. It doesn't suit her, it's too large and floral and it is too strongly associated with the fiasco that was Charles and Diana. I am , however, in favour of having the gems reset. This would fulfil Prince William's wish to 'include' his mother and would give Kate the chance to choose something more modern and tasteful. Oh well, she might as well get used to tradition and heritage and all that right away. I hope she makes him get that fluffy hair cut before the wedding. His mother would have.
Did you hear that her own parents are going to have to address her as ma'am once she gets hitched?
