Another reason to be happy you’re not famous. Or the daughter of someone famous. Or a princess.

Did you see these photos of Princess Beatrice on holidays in a cossie at the beach?

The Princess’s mum, Fergie, has come out to attack the media over their treatment of her daughter. Three cheers for that. The Duchess said Beatrice was a regular size 10 and fit and healthy. Although now she’ll probably now spend the next six months crouched over a toilet bowl and insist on wearing a burka in public (I said that last bit not Fergie). Poor girl.

Sarah Ferguson has told BBC Radio that the critical comments are potentially damaging.

 

“The press has been absolutely outrageous, and really being very mean about the size of her figure, calling her such horrible names, I just think they ought to take more responsibility.

I think her (Beatrice’s) comment was, ‘Will they be happy if I get anorexia because then they could write about that, wouldn’t they?


 

“I understand freedom of the press but what I don’t
understand is when it takes a regular, completely healthy girl and
tries to completely obliterate her confidence and I think they ought to
be accountable.”

It is unjust to belittle a women of any figure. Myself being about the same size is appauled that people could say something so cruel. However i do understand freedom of speech, i say just ignore those rif-raf and let the beautiful women live her life. Gorgeous simply gorgeous.

Anyone who thinks she's fat would never be taken seriously be me again during discussions about women.
The princess is cute, and has a lovely, fertile body.
