Check out the Daily Mail. I think given her reputation it would of been wiser for them to have one privately.

No, you are not right to assume that. What I was saying was that if she wanted to give to charity she could have done it in many other ways. By the way was it Kate who organised the party? I didn´t know that. I don´t know if the charity fund raiser was because she wanted a party or not, I hope not because I think that is despicable.

Photographers were invited within the premises and allowed to stay during the proceedings, this was not the case of media intrusion: in that instance, the attention was courted.One has to recognise that if the girl steps out of her home to buy a newspaper, her pictures whilst doing so appear in the press the next morning - like it or not, that is the situation.
Yes that is the theory, but in practice, it hardly ever works.I have always held the view that holding a charity event has a two fold objective: a) raise some funding, and b) increase awareness for the cause being supported. It may be possible to do a) without the press, but you certainly need them for b)!!!
If that's all or most of what she does, then it will be very little indeed. And that's the point I am trying to make.I just think that it is very strange to think someone should be "bashed" for organizing a party to raise money, every little helps and all that.
Perhaps she gives to charity separately, and that is not plastered across the Daily Mail - I don't knwo the facts, and I would be surprised if anybody else in the public domain would. Surely organising a fund raiser, which by definition goes beyond what one is contributing oneself, cannot be a bad thing in itself.
The media lay in wait to take the most uncompromising picture possible. The dress looked fine from what we could see and even an ordinary blouse can be made to look trashy taken from the wrong angle.If only she would pay more attention to what she is wearing. The blue color is great, but one of the pics shows a bit too much of her bra

Those kind of events are about the worst way possible to bring attention to a cause.
I am able to remember on top of my head that Diana walked in a field rigged with anti-personal mines, that Camilla did a heartfelt speech on osteoporosis, that William went to meet and talk with homeless youth in a Centerpoint shelter: those are effective ways to bring about attention to a worthy cause because you're actually very likely to remember both the event and the issue.
You are absolutely right, and if Kate marries William, I am sure she will do her bit as well. As of now, she is a private citizen, working for her parents. If she organises a charity event in her spare time, I really do not think she is doing anything wrong - but thats just my view
Quite right. Does not look like a revealing or inappropriate dress to me
New Idea occasionally gets it right (breaking -- irresponsibly -- the story of Harry's service in Afghanistan, for one), but I'm not sure I'd put much stock in this one. Could be that something like this is in the works, but these kinds of "imminent engagement" stories are published all the time.
Wasn't New Idea the magazine that said Kate was pregnant or thought she was pregnant? I don't think I would trust them very much.
Didn't The DM say back in July that she had turned the Queen down again this yearThank you, windsorgirl.
So Kate has been invited for Christmas...again...
New Idea said:Royal courtiers are believed to be hurryingly drafting up secret plans for a wedding
Organising a charity event for many people makes them feel good without having to put in much money themselves, they are there to make everyone else donate..... then perhaps I am wrong. There is nothing like getting other people to spend their money for a good cause, and she must have been feeling a bit sensitive about the criticism she was getting and as she knows royals are expected to do charity work voila!
I don't think what makes that shot bad is the angle, or even the bra peep.And I won't blame her for paparazzi who are trying their best to take pictures from unflattering angles.
I agree. I don't have a problem with that outing.This is the first time she's been photographed out at a London club since August, if I remember correctly. Twice in four months! What a party animal!
I think you are giving the publication too much credit. The only reason they had access to this information is because it was literally an open secret as part of a deal between CH and the media. They didn't actually found out the info through their top notch investigative journalists, it was handed to them.New Idea occasionally gets it right (breaking -- irresponsibly -- the story of Harry's service in Afghanistan, for one), but I'm not sure I'd put much stock in this one.

I think a bit too much attention was given to what Kate wore and how often she lost her footing as opposed to emphasizing what she was trying to raise money for. However, you can't blame Kate for that. It is the "Enquiring Minds Want to Know" mentality that is to blame. People would rather read an article about her that infers embarrassment because of an awkward photo than do something compassionate like paying attention to the cause itself. The sad part is, if she had done this low key, it would have been completely unworthy of any news coverage at all. Because of the "scandal" involved, a few more people know about it now.
