The Queen didn't say anything but had Katie Nicholls written that
she thinks Kate should get a job noone would have given a damn. Such an article doesn't sell papers.
If Kate should indeed marry into the Royal Family it will be her life
after the wedding that will count. If she manages 500 engagements per year noone will give a damn anymore about her supposed lack of work ethic before the marriage. And if she doesn't live up to the example set by HM and Princess Anne, she'll never become Queen anyways since the British monarchy will probably have been abolished by then.
