I live in the states and have not heard or read any comments about the Queen telling the press to back off. Frankly this sounds like a story from some entertainment "news" show, some of which are on par with the worst tabloids. I think in terms of the dress the US press is probably more open minded. It seems to me that the european press was quick to jump on the "copy cat" remarks. As most here have said, Catherine's dress was a very traditional dress, given that just HOW original can one be? There many dresses like that past and present, the differences being in the length of the train and it's design, the fabric, and the length of the veil. It just seems to be that some people in the press/tv are just trying to conjure up something negative to report whether it is fact or not. The US press has no real agenda to push regarding the monarchy as some tabloids and european countries do. That's not to say if something "bad" happens it won't be published ... after all it was the US magazine that has reported the pregnancy story. Needless to say it's NOT a class publication.
