Kate Middleton’s bottom line is in the news. The Post’s Barbara Hoffman thinks the Duchess’ chic wardrobe is what Kate is known for and not her wardrobe malfunctions. Hailey Eber thinks differently. Read her counterpoint here .
Kate Middleton’s bottom line is in the news. During a royal swing through Australia, a helicopter’s breeze — and an enterprising paparazzo — gave new meaning to the phrase “going Down Under.”
Never mind that old saw about the Emperor having no clothes: The Duchess has no underpants — unless there’s a thong in there somewhere.
We can only imagine how Queen Elizabeth is taking this latest indiscretion; probably with a couple of sherries and the comforting embrace of her corgis. In-laws can be horribly taxing, even for those who pop out a glorious male heir on schedule. Just look at Princess Diana, the mother of two lovely princes, one of them William, who made Kate his royal mate.
But not even Diana bared so much before so many. However fashion-forward she was, she knew enough to keep her rear under wraps.
Were she with us today, she might be able to explain to Kate the difference between “chic” and “cheek.”
Heavy are the heads that wear the crown, but there must be other ways to lighten the load. Mooning the public, however inadvertently, shouldn’t be one of them.
Then again, it’s not the first time we’ve seen more of Kate than we’d bargained for: In 2012, already a royal, she was photographed sunning herself topless in the South of France.
Some enterprising soul is putting together a naked Kate flip-book as I write this.
Royal membership has its privileges: rent-free digs, free world tours, guaranteed standing ovations. In turn, we expect something in return — dignity, for one.
And while it’s always nice to be well-ventilated, underpants seem a small price to pay for the royal treatment.
We’re not talking granny pants here, either, or anything else that would cramp Kate’s style. Victoria’s Secret — how British can you get? — has a fabulous selection of high-rise, 100 percent cotton briefs in every color, manufactured in just about every country. (I’d send Kate my catalog if my husband hadn’t already commandeered it.)
In all fairness, Kate may be a late bloomer. She may come to realize that, when you’re living royal, it helps to wear bloomers.
Since Kate Middleton wed Prince William in 2011, the Duchess has been a near-perfect little royal wife. That’s about it. The Post’s Hailey Eber thinks mooning crowds has been the most interesting thing the she has done. Read her counterpoint here.
