I am going to quickly address the topless photos of Kate that have been published by a French magazine. It is well known that I do not have a problem with paparazzi photos. Pictures of Kate on high street are fine to me, pictures of Kate walking the beach, walking in a Scottish park, walking in Kensington Gardens--all fine. Kate topless is not ok. What kind of a society can't make a distinction between snaps of a woman walking a public beach and this kind of invasion of her modesty? Is chivalry dead in France?
I will not post these photos, and I encourage you all to not look them up or share them either. Remember that these photos spread on Tumblr, so if you have an account, don't share them! Don't retweet if you see them on Twitter.
Unfortunately, I think this will leave a very unpleasant taste in Kate's mouth toward the public. The natural reaction to invasions of privacy is to withdraw.
Kate has pulled herself together like a real princess and I think the palace and her grandmother-in-law will be very proud. As the stony faced Prince William and somber looking Kate boarded their plane this evening, Kate was the one who appeared to be consoling William. A man's reaction is to protect his wife, and I am sure his anger is through the roof.
Let's try to focus on what was a happy and fantastic tour.
