Wonderful, an honest person who admits she too would love a life of not having to work for a living.I don't think that it's "awful" that she doesn't work. Heck, I'd love to live a life of leisure and I certainly would take advantage if my parents were wealthy.
Catherine is not yet public property, no more than William is. Until she is engaged to William, if that happens, she is entitled to her privacy. Even if she becomes engaged and then married to William, she will not be 'serving the British people'. If asked she may take on a few charities, she may be invited to attend a few royal events, but with the best will in the world, all that will be required of her for a good few years will be to have children, be appropriately turned out and not pose and pout.The difference is Kate is a public person (weather she likes it or not) and most likely will be serving the British public very soon. It would be better if she held down a 9-5 job because it would put her in "touch" with the common person, IMHO. That way, when she is a royal patron of whatever charity or when she is visiting local towns and farms, doing ribbon-cuttings, etc, she will be able to identify with the people.
As she is from a middle class family, she should have no problems relating to ordinary members of the public.
