Gee some people are rude.
Writer Hillary Mantell, and no I have no idea who she is or
what she has written. I googled her name to discover that she is the first author to win the Man Booker Prize and
Costa Book Award in the same year. Well so much for the taste of the selection committee I say. Mantell told an audience at the British Museum that
the Duchess of Cambridge, 31, ‘appeared to have been designed by a committee
and built by craftsmen, with a perfect plastic smile and the spindles of her
limbs hand-turned and gloss-varnished’.
The TV news was full of it and there was a clip of this
writer actually saying the words.
She sounded as though she was reading an excerpt from a
story, rather than actually making a delivering an address. She went on to comment that the
‘painfully-thin’ duchess was ‘a shop-window mannequin, with no personality of
her own, entirely defined by what she wore’.
She
also likened the royals to pandas in a zoo, saying: ‘Our current royal family
doesn’t have the difficulties in breeding that pandas do, but pandas and royal
persons alike are expensive to conserve and ill-adapted to any modern
environment
Well Mantell by the look of your picture it is you who look
like a mannequin, one that has seen better days and should be relegated to the scrap
heap.
Your teeth are too big, your hair, a very bad cut and it
is more than time that you made an appointment to get the roots touched up.
Personally I wouldn’t read any of your books even if I was
paid to.
There...take that for being rude to someone who has become
very well loved by the general population in England and by the future king
himself.
