OK forgive us our hypocrisy, we know we bemoaned the impending overkill of the royal nuptials but when fashion royalty itself passes commentary, one should not choose to ignore it. Bow down people, for TRR fave, Kaiser Karl Lagerfeld hath voiced his opinions on Kate's commoner status;

"For the royals, apparently the royal blood is not in demand any longer. Better for the generation to come. She is very different from Princess Diana, and seems a very well-balanced and a happy person. She is chic in a way the position needs. Let's wait and see..."

Wait and see what? If she continues her - thus far - bland-but-wholesome non-journey into fashion? Or decides do a ‘Daphne’ and shape herself into a avant-garde fashion icon who could give Ms Guinness a run-for-her-money? (Please the latter, please the latter).

K thinks Waity-Katy's anti-aristocracy status ain't a bad thing - neither do we. Whilst hardly an estate-dwelling, Jeremy Kyle viewing, benefit-chaser, she's no blue-blooded thoroughbred either - nor does she seem like a right wing-nut like her deceased ma-in-law, God rest her soul. It’ll be curious to see if her sartorial decisions do get critiqued as much as Di’s, however.

Either way, if Di’s tragic death gave way to Posh’s elevated status to paparazzi goddess then let’s hope Kate can bump the vacuous famewhore off her waaay overlong tenure quick-stat.
