Kate Middleton aka Duchess Catherine

The topless photos of Kate Middleton are much ado about nothing.

The royal family has weathered far more than this in their scandal-pitted history.

The dalliance with Nazi Germany between the wars and the abdication of Edward and Mrs Simpson with their pro-Nazi views would top my list.

That was actually something really serious that had massive repercussions and went far beyond the usual Royal shenanigans.

My favorite since was the taped phone call when Prince Charles told his then-mistress now wife Camilla that he wanted to be her tampon. Prince Charming it wasn’t.

Prince Harry dressing as a Nazi, Prince Andrew selling access to himself, Fergie doing the same -- all grist to the royal mill.

In that context Kate’s boobs hardly seem even newsworthy.

She’s a decent sort and should not be held accountable for the creepy tabloids who will do anything for a scoop.

This will be forgotten in no time and Kate can get back to what she was brought in to the family to begin with for.

Producing a son and heir or daughter and heir is her real task in life, all the rest is glitter and show.
Now if the poor girl fails in that regard there would be a major to-do.

So get to it Kate and Bill and forget about the tabloids.

There are more than enough boobs out there to begin with.

if I may interject a serious note; should the couple not be able to conceive an heir- law changed now it could be a daughter- today's medicine allows to alternatives rather than the Henry V111 method of whacking heads off. As for the article in general, it was barrel-scraping. Everyone knows there is a public tut-tutting about such photos, but private "buy me a copy, I am curious" is sadly too often the case.

This article is not only very uninteresting, but seems to have been written by his 9 year old son.

Time and again IC amateurs write trash like middle school bad boys. Niall wake up. This so called news letter is worse than the news of the world in the 60's. Haha

Dear me!! Patrick Roberts been castigated for telling it as it is.I am amused the Murdoch gutter press will not print the Photos,how noble! If it were Michelle Obama or one of the Kennedy's they would be all over it like the hypocrites they are.

Mr. Roberts should be sacked immediately byIrishCentral for even THINKING of writing such gutter trash. What next? - will he write of some of his fellow-tripe journalists/photographers exploiting children too? Pardon me... I just denigrated the good Irish dish made of tripe.

Just to point out that she is a Duchess not a Princess.

Also, Patrick, your anti- Brit is showing.

I've seen the pictures, not much to make such a fuss about, it's not like she's got great cans or anything, mediocre at best.

As Jamie said, if so minor, why bother reporting it. This Irish fascination with the Royal family is just pathetic> Who cares!

There is nothing the gutter press won't stoop to. But if lame brains buy these rags it will continue. Just like the the war on drugs it will never end as long as there are customers buying them. She is a lovely girl and I hope she will hold her head up over this.

Where else but Irish Central would you read such a spiteful article? Well done Patrick. Let's hope no-one ever sneaks over your garden wall and takes a photo through a crack in the curtains of your naked wife/boyfriend/daughter and publishes them for the world to see.
