She's living a fairy tale -- literally. That doesn't happen to everybody.

I see in such articles poorely hidden "envie" and the desire to destroy "Kate's public image".Sometimes I have a feeling that someone in power has a lot of hatred against Kate.
Maybe I am wrong,this is my subjective opinion.

The author seems to feel sorry for Kate from what I read. Are you thinking he's being sarcastic?? I don't care for her myself but I don't hate her and there's no jealousy either. He's far too young for me and I wouldn't have shot in hell if I were his age.

I also read it like the reporter was criticizing the 'bitterness' towards Kate

[btw, off topic maybe, I must congratulate the members of TRF. Even if we don't agree in everything, the majority of people here seemed to be able to construct arguments around a thread. Far different from another forum that I had the displeasure of checking out. There you can definitely see bitterness and child-like comments. Jezz, I wonder if they know how stupid they look?! ]

That's how I read it too. More of a criticism of the people who are being unkind to Kate

Yes, just months apart. In one of those programs aired days after the announcement, a former leader of the expedition talked about them.

Kate is 5'10" not 5'11". The same height as Princess Diana.
Kate DOES drink alcohol, although she doesn't over indulge.
Kate's eye color is hazel-blue/green. They can appear green or blue depending on what she is wearing and the lighting.
As for the rest.....if the writer couldn't get the basics right, then I have to imagine the rest is rather loosely factual as well.

Oh wow she's tall! I figured though cause when she stands by Will there's not much of a height difference. If I stood by Will I'd be just above his waist! :)

My guess is that she speaks at least some Italian, as she has spent part of her Gapyear there

I would say she takes after her mother in coloring and her eyes, but exactly like her? No. I don't see it.

I didn't mean exactly in a precise, exact way. Kate looks like her mother, minus all the wrinkles and aging. I definitely see it.
