On second look,the top does nothing for me. She was showing a little too much cleveage IMO. The earrings were cute though.
I guess it has to do with the fact that the day before the papers were full of William and these other women, so it might well be considered newsworthy if Catherine looks miserable - which she didn't, that's why the pics were only on offer, but not printed.katherine said:I thought that pictures of her going to work had been banned and that she was only to be photographed in public places like nightclubs and the races? Maybe I misunderstood...
I also think the earrings are 'over the top' for day wear.Luv2Cruise said:I think she looks great! I just wish she would lose those earrings during the day. They are for the evening. Otherwise she looks nice. Her new car is cute!
No you didn't misunderstand, it's just that some paparazzi/photographers seem to have decided to ignore the voluntary restrictions!katherine said:I thought that pictures of her going to work had been banned and that she was only to be photographed in public places like nightclubs and the races?

Well, one thing is she getting used to be photographed nearly every day (which she seems to deal with quite well), another completely different thing is allowing certain kind of chase made by paparazzi that are completely out of their minds... after all, she has a lively example in her boyfriend's family history to avoid...Raia said:boo hoo, if the girl doesnt like her picture being taken or the press "harassing" her then she should get out of the relationship [...] she needs to get use to it.
She has a right to be able to walk out of front door without the press in her face. She has a right to be able to go get a cup of coffee, etc. Unless I'm mistaken, the UK is a free country and she has a right to file a complaint. The harrassment is obnoxious. That she has held up this long with dignity and restraint is a testament to her maturity.Raia said:boo hoo, if the girl doesnt like her picture being taken or the press "harassing" her then she should get out of the relationship, if she doesnt like it now just think of how its gonna be if she does marry william,l she needs to get use to it. Of course shes gonna say there harassing her its her word against theres and who will be believed it aint gonna be the press.

If it was that bad then why the heck is she dating William and how could she cope as a Princess if this is too much for her.
Like on her birthday, sorry but I had no sympathy for her. Her 25th was always going to interest the paps so why not stay at a friends house?? All that nonsence about her having to face all that press was just silly, she could have avoided it if she had wanted to.
It just gets to a point when it all seems too daft for words. Kate knew going to the races a few weeks ago would get pictures, so why go?? Surely she could live without going to the event if she wants to keep so private, and she went twice!
Of course she should be able to live how she wants but not if she is going to moan one minute and then put herself in a situation where she will be pictured many times.
Could it be because she loves him and has decided not to allow the media to dictate who she can or cannot see? The point is she is not a princess, she may never be a princess, but it should be for her to decide how to live her life before making any decision.EmmieLou said:If it was that bad then why the heck is she dating William and how could she cope as a Princess if this is too much for her.
How, that is where she lives, that is the base she uses to get to and from work and do you really think the media would not have found her wherever she stayed. Why the sudden interest anyway, apart from the engagement rumours they started, after all a 25th birthday is nothing unusual.Like on her birthday, sorry but I had no sympathy for her.

She hasn't complained about the pictures taken when she was clearly at a public event.It just gets to a point when it all seems too daft for words. Kate knew going to the races a few weeks ago would get pictures, so why go?? Surely she could live without going to the event if she wants to keep so private, and she went twice!
As I remember a lot of people on here were complaining about how lazy she was because she did not have a visible job. The IPC agreed that at public events, she should expect to be photographed, but that does not include going to and from work or doing any of the ordinary things we all take for granted!Of course she should be able to live how she wants but not if she is going to moan one minute and then put herself in a situation where she will be pictured many times.

sesa said:Unless they were "verbally" taunting/harrassing her, she needs to get over it. I understand she is entitled to her privacy. And I hope she gets enough of her privacy. But I also think that it comes with the territory. You date a famous person, you become somewhat famous yourself. Sort of like guilty by association. If William's picture is taken when he is out getting food, surfing, driving his motor cycle, ect. as well as on scheduled outings, she may as well get used to having her picture taken whenever and where ever she may be. With or with out the prince. I admire her for handling all this attention as well as she has, but on the flip side of things, did she just not pick up a brand new Audi and a discounted price? So she gets perks as well. Had she not been known for dating the Prince and had the press following her she would not have gotten a discount on the car, a nice plushy job, and whatever else comes her way by being somewhat famous for dating a famous person.
Small price to pay in a way. But as I said at the start, if she was verbally taunted/harrassed, than she has a full right to file a claim. No one has the right to do that to another person.
Me too!Henri M said:So, I applaud the actions by miss Middleton.
Skydragon said:Neither Audi nor Catherine have commented on the price of the vehicle, so we only have the word of the media on whether it was a heavily discounted price.
Stalking and harassment is ilegal in this country and I have to wonder if those saying she is making a fuss about nothing would feel the same if it was their daughter or them, being followed and pursued 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!
Me too![/font]

Most of the ones doing the complaining don't have daughters. Most of the ones doing the complaining probably haven't yet gone steady, much less be involved in a high-profile relationship with a grown man, a high profile figure, contemplating marriage into one of the most famous dynasties in the world, while under the glare of lights and a punishing media.Skydragon said:Stalking and harassment is ilegal in this country and I have to wonder if those saying she is making a fuss about nothing would feel the same if it was their daughter or them, being followed and pursued 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!

Duchess said:we also have to remember that reason the paps make so much money for these photos is because the public interest pushes up the price by buying the magazines. i feel sorry for catherine in that she has to put up with this everytime she sets foot outside her door. no matter who you date you shouldn't have to be harassed. she has dealt with all this attention brilliantly and i think diana could've learned a lot from her.
