Kate – Saying It Like It Is

Germaine Greer describes Kate Middleton as “too thin” and says “she should stop being a womb for the royal family”. She also says Kate has a bastard of a job because she has effectively “been put charge of William. “Kate is not even allowed to decorate her own houses.  Even the wives of American presidents get to do that…..She cannot do or say anything spontaneous. She has learned what she has to do and say and how to do and say it in the approved way.  Spontaneity will get her into trouble.” Furthermore, Greer states that the Duchess is more intelligent than most of the royal family but is made “to appear absolutely anodyne.”  Why would anyone want to stick around with this family?  [“Germaine Greer on Duchess of Cambridge with ‘Bas***d of a job’: ‘It’s not that she has to be a womb, but a mother'” by Jenn Selby, The Independent, 29 September 2014]
