I just have a quick question for the group. Can we not?!Seriously, though. All women who are in the public eye are subjected to an obscene level of body-shaming and speculation that we, as a society, are still working hard to undo.
And it seems to come down particularly hard on women in the royal family. Princess Diana, Princess Kate's mother-in-law, very famously throughout her marriage. “The bulimia started the week after we got engaged and would take nearly a decade to overcome,” Diana said in a confessional tape, per .
“My husband put his hand on my waistline and said: ‘Oh, a bit chubby here, aren’t we?’ and that triggered off something in me—and the Camilla thing.”Let her live. And let's not forget Sarah Ferguson, another woman who married into the royal family, who was dubbed “Duchess of Pork” by the tabloids. Having actually gotten the opportunity to confront the journalist who coined the atrocious nickname (a blessing I would wish on all body-shamed women), Fergie told 's Samantha Barry, “I looked at this little chap—round, jovial—and I thought, My heavens, you were the cause of my eating disorders, my mental stress, my demise.
If only I’d known it wasn’t real. It was entirely made up.”“You were the cause of my eating disorders, my mental stress, my demise.” By Now, for the record, we cannot possibly know whether or not Kate Middleton has an eating disorder and it is both dangerous and cruel to speculate on it. What we do know is that if Kate's weight fluctuated even slightly in the other direction, she'd be getting a horrific fat-shaming nickname of her own.
