There's a very good chance that Kate is anorexic, remember Diana? I did think she was so nervous during the tv interview beside William.
I can't imagine what it's like being in the public eye all the time, being subject to comment and criticism and being groomed to be the future Queen when you are a relatively ordinary person. A friend of mine lives in the next village to her parents and they really are ordinary people who happen to have made a success of their lives.
People complain about the Royal's existence and the money they are paid but I wouldn't want their lives, rich or not, it looks hell. And btw, I've always been a republican, but these days I just see them as human beings under a lot of pressure.
