Prince Harry 'feared he would become a has-been once his nephew George turned 18': Bombshell new book also details bullying claims It enhanced my understanding of politics greatly. One of the first times I went to the Commons she took me for lunch and explained that as most of her colleagues drank all day, many of the Government were never really sober. She has always been wonderfully indiscreet. She is arrogant, sexually obsessed and acidic. The fact that we don’t want this insane level of woman-hating scrutiny to stop, whoever it happens to, pauper or princess, is what is actually ‘grotesque’ and ‘saddening’.Īcidic, arrogant, indsicreet - it's no wonder I adore EdwinaĮdwina Currie has added to the gaiety of the nation. That is what I would want for any young woman, not just a Royal. That in these pictures she is just enjoying herself, living fully in her great body. Is anything more exposed now than in the oft-shown photograph of Kate in the transparent dress? If I could say anything to her it would be that breasts are no big deal. Pert and perfect versus the siliconed version of lower-class stunners. Other upper-class breasts will be exposed as London Fashion Week starts. Happiness will come from packaging your body and individuality into something to be enjoyed by others. My daughters’ generation has grown up in a world where the constant message is that a woman is never more than the sum of her parts.

She is but one of the many figures constantly ogled. The leering at Kate is normally done with innuendo rather than in-your-face invasiveness. It is in the commercial and prurient nature of media that it happens all the time. Showing someone naked is never in the public interest. An image can go viral but the law cannot. Now we see how unworkable privacy law is. Women got one day at Leveson to talk about the way we are portrayed. To then pretend this is done out of ‘concern’ contemptible. To typecast half the population as living in a perpetual state of jealousy and self-loathing is twisted. If not they are ‘flaunting’ themselves in an ‘enviable’ way. Even the most beautiful women are pictured on their off-days. While women are always outnumbered by men in positions of power, images of our bodies are up for grabs. As any secondary-school teacher will tell you, sexting can lead to all sorts of sexual bullying.įor we now all live in culture of constant low-level sexual bullying. Unlike Harry she was not showing off but then it’s always different for girls. Kate’s job description is looking lovely and being nice. Pippa’s backside, remember, spoke for itself during the wedding, the woman herself did not. It is perfectly OK to reduce any woman to a collection of body parts. It is a sad phenomenon that every woman in the public eye is fair game in the ‘seen but not heard’ world of today’s media landscape. As our own press tries to speculate on the contents of her uterus at every available chance, the news that she does indeed possess breasts is not a scoop, is it? Indeed her wedding dress pointedly accentuated them. It is possible to feel sympathetic to this woman and I already have. The ‘serious’ debate is one of security and privacy but actually it is all about bad French people, good British people and our favourite subject: women’s bits. The Palace itself has sought to spell out the connection between Kate and the Prince’s dead mother, as if we needed reminding. Monarchists can feign no innocence after what happened to Diana. She is a brand leader for the Firm and this is the lifestyle she has chosen.

But then every time she appears, every inch of her is scrutinised. The amount of hyperbole and hypocrisy surrounding these pictures – that no one has Googled, obviously – is staggering.ĭo I feel sorry for her? Yes, it must be horrible. Oh, and on Italy, as Silvio Berlusconi’s daughter Marina owns the publisher of the magazine in which these shameful images appeared. We should stop messing about with lawsuits and just declare war on France. To preserve the honour of our princess Kate Middleton we should declare war on France after topless photos of her were publishedĪre Kate Middleton’s breasts more precious than any other woman’s? Clearly.
