BY NOW, YOU have probably heard the earth-shattering news that Kate Middleton has gotten a haircut and (kind of) has a fringe now.

As you can imagine, magazines and newspapers have tripped over themselves to report the news.

BREAKING: WOMAN GETS FRINGE.

Among the media outlets to report on the Duchess of Cambridge’s new do? The Sunday Express.

Unfortunately, their story has become noteworthy for an entirely different reason that has nothing to do with Kate Middleton’s fringe.

    ‘Kate’s Willy has hardly any hair’

    Now that’s a headline that’s true.

    Why does everyone likexto have a pop at her everytime an article comes up? She was brought up ordinary, she has an ordinary family, she is now a wife and mother, which she seems to relish, and she is very good with people , and as thats her new role, I think she’s doing extremely well. Her husband has done his best to protect her from the overintrusion his mother witnessed, and he is to be commended. I understand the furory to some extent, but shouldn’t we be adults about it by now? I mean..someone gets a fringe cut into their hair..the news media go insane, including journal.ie, posters make daft posts…girlies all over england now going into hairdressers looking for ‘the kate cut’…madness, its all madness.

    She hung on in there for 10 years to become wife and mother! I suspect the nannies do the bulk of the work while Her royal blahness spends her time making sure her hair is oh so shiny because that’s her “job”. Showing up somewhere, once in a while, with shiny hair. It’s not like hard work… or even work, for that matter. The UK royals are just an English version of the Kardashians.

    jenni I feel you are missing the point here as most of the comments are aimed at the lazy excuse for English newspaper journalism we see every day.

    tom…I believe waddler has that accolade. daisy.. I’d be waiting 10 years as well, if I knew the family I was marrying into, but still loved my man. I just dont get the hype. And in no way is she like the Kardashians..that is such an unfair comparison.

    I think she looks tired and worn out in that photo. Her roots are showing and she is like any busy young Mother as far as I am concerned!
    I think they are a lovely hard working young family…
