Kate Middleton aka Duchess Catherine
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.

Just wondering why all the fuss at any woman going topless or any photographer sneaking a photo.

The big deal is that she didn't "flash" a boob...a peeping tom stalked her and took a picture which he sold because there are very low class people who would like to be peeping toms... with stuff like this we cannot call our selves cultured and it indicates our civilization has a lot of growing to do

As an American I can't imagine why we are being constantly treated by our insipid media to the idiocy of this bunch of people calling themselves royal. However we do know their past and know that though they may be inbred, they and their cohorts are as cagey as ever. The first story is about a "commoner," possibly a former "serf," who marries a prince, is staying at a 642 acre chateau in France owned by a nephew of the queen. The second story is about the English not having housing due to a financial crisis. Our Smithsonian Magazine had an article a few years ago telling that the farmers of Cornwall did not own their land and had to turn over 17 million Euros a year to the royal, idle prince charles (remember the disgusting tampon phone call). Thank God we got rid of them but they and Hollywood seem to think they are going to return. Just try. By the way has Harry finished his second photo shoot and is he on his way home to the palace? One good thing, if Kate can land a "prince" with that chest, it may make American women stop mutilating themselves with breast implants. Sometimes good comes out of bad.

I feel celebrities should be able to have privacy but the facts of life are.....like it or not....you are a celebrity and thus lose privacy as the rest of us no it. She's not a child and she knows how these photographers are and they use high tech equipement. Keep your top on and you won't have to worry about topless pictures being taken. I'm sure she had security folks and servents at the house and they could have seen her topless as well and she knew they were there.

I'm surprised fallser didn't blame the PIRA for taking the photographs to undermine the incestuous monarchy.

Now, Little Miss Flem Flash, wants to pull the Long Coat and Sunglasses over Our, eyes ? Isn`t such always the case, with these Spoiled Bourgeoisie Elitists ! Next thing you know, Buckingham Palace and ET want to send in the Marines for our Intellectual Rights, over Prince Harry`s Miami Beach Fatal Alcohol Intoxication fiasco !

If born to rule deference to privilege and wealth is the only thing that can bring British people together then let them have their circus and free for all freak show. I find it amusing. I certainly did during the Jubilee schmaltzfest of fawning adulation and hilariously jittery coverage of Oxbridge spluttering Beeb journos frantically trying to make an empty windswept, rain torn estuary on the Thames appear like Prince partying like it was 1999 all over again then desperately trying to stir up a few OAP's and one dog into a euphoric tide of whoopa that's their burden. I attended a christening in London that week-end and let me tell you although the Brits are neutrally in favour of the monarchy for the most part generally they are ambivalent, most shrugging "how can you have anything against dear old Queenie" etc... but the fawning adulation is greatly exaggerated. That week-end the houses that were decorated in Union flags were vastly outnumbered by those that did and the odd smatering of token flags on cars here and there aside you wouldn't have known it was on. As for 'Empire envy' if anything British history will show you that until recent history there was very little sentiment or dewy eyed nostalgic sycophancy for the torturers, executers and plunderers of land that made the peasants fight at gunpoint. Even the most ardent of Royal historians now confides quite openly that all evidence shows that instead of the noble cause of Queen/King and monarchy peasants only fought in wars to protect themselves and their families and generally despised serfdom and their Royal overlords.

Probably the most nothing article in Irish Central in ages. Why waste the space and readers time with this loose bit of styrofoam writing.
