Don't we need a Queen (if Catherine becomes Queen) who is a power player, clever and determined? Far rather that than some wimp. |

Wisechild - there is a very good cartoon in Daily Mail of Hilary looking into a mirror and her 'reflection' is lovely Kate! |

She is a brilliant writer and I loved her books. I am sure she regrets saying what she did and the way it has been misquoted and received but I am quite sure it wont affect the sales of her books. You don't win two Booker prizes for being a dullard! :-D |

My personal Opinion, It helps to sell her books. However I just took one look at her Photo (Before I threw up) It says it all, Pity I have,nt got shares in Pollyfilla and curtain material.But Lets say she,s a good advert for why in some cases Burkas should be made compulsory. :-D :-| |

My reaction was "have you looked in the mirror dear?" |

OH was shouting at tv - found out it was Hilary Mantel. Kate is doing fine, she has had a long apprenticeship and that young couple will be a credit to this country (they are already). |

Sorry, didn't mean to sound bolshy (although I am at the mo!!) just that I HATE HATE HATE the Daily Mail and its ilk, and wish some people would sometimes read something more before deciding. If you still think Hilary Mantel is a jumped-up harridan, fine :-D. No comment on that from me, just to say that I'd rather have Hilary to my dinner party than the Duchess ;-) |

In answer to Sue, checking the link Sheila gives, the D Telegraph says it is taken out of context :-) |
