Daily Style Phile: Kate Middleton

Jan 7, 2010 10:19 AM

Everyone knows Kate Middleton's story: the cute commoner stole Prince William's heart at university and has since become a latter day Diana, a princess of the people who spends her days at polo and parties. But while Middleton wasn't born with royal blood, she does boast another innate quality: that of incredible style.

These days a coveted wardrobe can bring you as many fans as, say, dating the world's most eligible bachelor. Though she has only recently begun making official appearances, the paparazzi have traced her every move for years now, and their photographs tell the story of a young lady who has come into her own with great confidence despite constant scrutiny.

Like her boyfriend's mother before her, Middleton looks as comfortable in an evening gown as she does in quintessentially "British" tweeds, jodphurs, and blazers. Often seen wearing Philip Treacy couture hats and fascinators, Middleton's outfits never even hint at the wardrobe malfunctions preferred by the more declasse American tabloid princesses. (Various nipple slips and lady part flashings unfortunately come to mind.) And whether dressed up in sequins or down in denim and riding boots, Middleton always wears a smile. Hopefully she will put the rumors to rest and hop across the pond to our fair city, bringing with her that chic, classic, and dare I say it, regal sensibility. Let's face it: dating the future king of England would make any girl famous, but Middleton's style and star quality are all her own.

[And Kate might soon bring her style savvy to New York!]

Kate is no Diana. She's frumpy, lazy, and boring and the sooner you people own up to that the better off you'll be.

Kate is not trying to be like Diana, infact no one can top Diana's style. Kate is a very beautiful woman and she has her own style. Once she marries William we will see more royal potential in her style. Anne, I think we know better to not believe the stupid rumors people make up about her.

The British people are not easily shockable but what they will learn about Kate Middleton post any engagement will leave them reeling. The Royal Family must not allow this person in or it will be the beginning of the end of the monarchy. I cannot believe Prince William is even contemplating this. Kate is not marriage material.

A latter Diana? Diana was a lady, and a lady unafraid of work at that. Diana never laid on the floor spread-eagle, stumbled out of nightclubs completely drunk, or jeopardized her partner's security by having them stay with family member who sold drugs and women. A princess of the people? Kate is not a princess. She has no royal blood and is not married to a prince.

It's a shame that people express so much hate for a person they don't even know.

It's not spreading rumors or bashing someone to state facts. It's a fact that Kate remained workshy for the first four years after graduation. It's a fact that Kate lay spread-eagle on the floor at a charity event. It's a fact that Kate has had multiple crotch-shots due to her inability to keep her legs closed and get out of a car properly. It's a fact that Kate had William over to her uncle's house where he sold drugs and women. It's a fact that Kate laughed when William walked by at the Order of the Garter - a highly prestigious honor for him. It's a fact that she rakes in freebies and discounts on clothes and cars because of who she's dating - which means she's using the Royal Family. These are just a few of the reasons many dislike her. Why is it so wrong to question whether this girl will make a good future queen someday based on the facts above? Why is it so wrong that people don't see Diana in a person like Kate?

I think it's a shame that William is with someone lazy and unsuitable like Kate. It's a shame he is not with a good hard-working lady like Lady Natasha Rufus Isaacs or one of his royal Russian cousins.

Bruno I see where you are coming from. They want Kate Middleton to live her life the way they think she should live it but they fail to understand that it don't work that way. I started watching Kate Middleton when the press made it known that she and William was dating at St. Andrews University. Ever since then Kate has been trying to deal with the pressure of dating William. They split for a few months in 2007 and the tabloids ripped her and her family apart. Stories was made up that Queen Elizabeth didn't like her because her family's not from the british aristocracy and there was a nasty rumor that William told his grandmother that he didn't love her enough. All through the series of rumors about her, Kate didn't let the world see her cry. She has remained a very strong lady and she still have William. Kate and Princess Diana of Wales are different in many ways but what they have in common is the ability to move forward and not let the world bring them down. While it seems like everyone is trying to rip Kate Middleton another hole because she took their fantasy prince away, they should calm down and realize that their poisonous words is don't Kate Middleton no harm and the royal relationship continues anyway. Happy Birthday Kate and I wish you well.

I, too, have watched this woman over the years and what "BAM" stated above is true. She is not another Diana and as James Whittaker stated some time ago, she is fine as gf but not suitable as a royal bride. The Midds have used nearly every penny they have to keep up the appearance of being something they are not and never will be: People of class.

If Kate were such a catch, Pr.William would have proposed by now. She's as dull as dishwater and very average, which might be why William has treated her like this all these years. Anyone who has watched this farce of a romance can see Pr.William is not marrying her. What happens every year, no engagement comes. She must be beside herself with embarrassment. Why doesn't she put her foot down, is she afraid he'll dump her again.

I think William is just using her until he meets "the one". It's plain as day to those who can take off their rose-coloured glasses and get over the fantasy of a so-called royal fairytale. Any man who makes excuses for not marrying is just not into you. My mother taught me those wise, precious words. True love knows no bounds within reason - prince or not. But I don't blame William: assessing a woman's potential for himself is very instinctive for men - and they know very quickly. William is not some innocent young boy. And if he isn't sure, HM most assuredly has made her decision. And clearly, she does not approve of this girl - or her family - or we would have seen some solid interaction by now. Kate is a joke to the mainstream public and has way too much baggage to marry into the BRF now - she's too divisive. Her reputation is in tatters; and I doubt dealing with Kate's reputation - fair or not - is what the BRF had in mind when they decided to raise William's profile. Kate's reputation is beyond redemption, IMO. The facts speak for themselves. It's just rather sad that Kate herself (and her parents) have allowed it. She may have had a better chance had she actually shown more of a work ethic, and not had a dubious part-time job with her parents - and allegedly only when she was coerced into it by William, who was probably given an earful by his grandmother. I have a feeling the Middletons are going to regret their decisions re Kate. Even worse, Kate is probably a girl of enormous potential who, for whatever reason/s hasn't developed into understanding adult responsibilities. That her lifestyle - for all intents and purposes - is still that of a college student, is quite tragic. What must she talk about? Good grief!

Well i'm with Bruno, I don't understand where all of this hatred over Prince William's girlfriend is coming from. I guess it's natural to have some hostile feelings towards any woman William dates but this is outrageous. Just because there hasn't been an engagement announcement yet, does not mean William is not in love with her. Every couple follow their own plans and obviously they are following theirs. William is a very handsome guy and he can have any woman he wants (he's a future king). He wouldn't have wasted seven years of his life on a woman he don't really love. Kate is also a very beautiful lady and she wouldn't have wasted seven years of her life with him, put up with the media's intrusion into her private life and deal with stiff royal protocol if she didn't really love him. If The Queen didn't approve of this relationship she would have advised William to end it and they would have never got back together. William knows Kate better than anyone and i'm starting to think that's where all this hatred is coming from, the public really don't know her. I wouldn't like a person too if i was dumb enough to believe the tabloids. The tabloids prints junk, they never give you the right definition of a person. I'm happy for Prince William because he found someone he can trust and Kate found someone she can trust.

No one really know Kate Middleton. She is just William's girlfriend, royal girlfriends don't have to rise to everybody's expectations, only royal wives. William wouldn't be allowed to date a woman that you all are discribing.

Kate will not be same as Pricess Diana, These two ladies having opposite characteristics when it comes with their attitudes and looked... Pricess Diana was a simple lady, innocent and naturally having a good heart while Kate is a modern lady, socialite and maybe using William to be a royal.

How do you people sit behind a computer and bash someone you don't know. You just see what the media puts out for you to see. She's just being herself. There obviously is a side to her that prince William sees that you guys don't. He's chosen her, and that's that. there's nothing you can do about it, Focus on your lives and stop worrying about hers.

I think that Kate is just lovely, and there is no denying that Prince William love's her, and I think she will be a credit to the Royal Family. My mother taught me that if you can not say anything nice then don't say anything at all. So I just won't say that the comments are not called for, and just shows where there manners came from......

You all said he will NEVER marry her (she isnt a royal) and what happened??? He married her he didnt care of any of the comments his family, the press or whoever said. They are together and almost 10years now already. All these years do mean something and it gives just a hope of real love. NO matter which class you have! :)
