Sadly because she is in the public eye we all, Americans included, see her as someone who we see as an icon, even though we have no real royalty here.

I am at a loss to understand how this 'story' might be connected with Irish America.

We are not amused, but we are anxious to see what comes out of Kate's "middle." "Ton" in for film and story and do not get excited about those photos of her mammary glands taken in France. They are now expanding to provide sustenance for the future Queen, King who will at that stage be permitted to marry a mate of the same gender if the UK continues along its present decadent path. Add to that, she/he may marry a Roman Catholic which seems to have uoset the future Head of the Church of England, her/his grandpoppy Charles. The Chinese curse is "may you live in interesting times." "Come on Baby, light my fire" and add charm to that stuffy old dynasty. The Jubilee and 2012 Games will be forgotten soon, and your grandpoppy will be the Royal Bore.

Kool Kate is becoming more Kardashian-like every day. Fairly soon we will learn that her sister married a hulking footballer and then divorced his 3 months later.

One wonders if the painter has something against the Royal Family. This is an awful picture of a very lovely woman. Neeldess to say, the Royal Family needs to get a new painter and quickly.

Terrible portrait! Why in God's name wasn't she permitted to smile? It looks like a mug-shot.

Roberts--they rejected this piece at People magazine? So that's why you're posting it here? Run it by me again--how is this of interest to an Irish-American site?

I've no problem with this portrait. Art is in the eye of the beholder.

Although the UK royals (but not Kate) are descended from Brian Boru, that's a stretch for including her on this site.

Roger Rafferty, agreed. An Irish site, for both the Irish Irish and those with only an Irish heritage, to pay attention to the English royal family (unless the story directly relates to Irish interests) is counterproductive as it legitimizes them as somehow a part of our society whether in Ireland or America. This then tends to de-legitimize the Irish and Irish descent as we are used subconsciously as the 'anti-English' in so many peoples minds, and at least in america, being anti-english is tantamount to being unpatriotic, as the founding fathers here were mostly off English ancestry. . . . [Similarly "THE" queen is not our queen. "THE" queen is the *English* or British queen, not really THE queen, as this kind of implies that she is also our queen. Words matter.] And then you use a celebrity with an Irish name to put the "royal" person in a better light. Very odd.
