Kate Middleton
February 19, 2013 – You gotta love those Brits.
Booker Prize winner Hilary Mantel made some pretty derogatory comments about Kate Middleton during her lecture for the London Review of Books entitled Undressing Anne Boleyn. Her attack on Middleton included snide remarks saying that she looked ”plastic” with “dead eyes”.
She said: “I saw Kate becoming a jointed doll on which certain rags are hung. In those days she was a shop-window mannequin, with no personality of her own, entirely defined by what she wore.
“These days she is a mother-to-be, and draped in another set of threadbare attributions. Once she gets over being sick, the press will find that she is radiant. They will find that this young woman’s life until now was nothing, her only point and purpose being to give birth.”

For a woman that looks like an anemic whale, and goes out in public wearing beach towels, I’d say Mantel needs to invest in a nutrition plan and a mirror before commenting on other peoples appearances. -JRoycroft
