Mouth open duchess

It's pathetic really.

It is a general habit in the media, most celebrities and media people who are photographed have their mouths wide open, cannot think why, although it might be to show off their expensive dentistry.

Baggs you'd have something to complain about if she had teeth like mine!

In the psychology that is media nowadays, the open mouth in an action shot persuades us that that person is dynamic, more like us and approachable. As the monarchy strives to update it's image and present itself as such it makes sense to promote these pictures instead of the staid royal look we have become accustomed to. They are keeping up with the times.

I'm just gobsmacked.

She's good at her job so she gets more work ?

She's not Judi Dench.

For god sake get a life!!!

Seriously GN. We have a thread objecting to this lady being referred to as Kate Middleton sometimes rather than the duchess of Cambridge (soooo ruuude and disrespectful ??). Now we have one about photos of her laughing. Maybe.. just maybe… get a life ?!

It's amusing how many have completely missed the point. I have no objections to Kate, nor have I raised any. My objection is to certain type of press photographs of her giving the impression that she's a loud sort of person who roars with laughter at the drop of a hat.

I really don't think she is that kind of person so I think the photos are verging on unfair.

Another cracker from chewbacca. Honestly who amongst us would relish Kate’s job. She seems to me to work hard. She’s good at her job so gets more work as a result.
Yes, she has beautiful teeth and a lovely smile

It's outrageous! A woman laughing raucously and with her teeth showing too! Did she not get the memo that said all members of the royal family should look angry, fed up and depressed AT ALL TIMES? How very dare she!

She’s a beautiful young woman and it’s great to see her happy having fun.

I can't say that I've ever noticed except her smiles or laughs, neither of which can be done properly without the mouth opening. The duchess is a genuine smiler, lovely.

Now if you'd said " celebrities " gawping, just showing, usually, a row of artificial pots, then I'd have agreed.

Remember the picture of Cherie yawning behind Charles and the Queen at the Highland games?

Of course, she might have been bored but where was the hand over the mouth that we were all taught to do?

It’s nice that she’s so natural, not insisting that everything is posed. If I had teeth like hers I’d probably open my mouth more (at least they’re all my own though).

eazybee

I just think what lovely teeth she has.

Me too ?

Not a problem unless she is eating at the time!

Wow cannot believe a person opening their mouth to laugh especially a Duchess. In all honesty she would either explode or implode if she stifled said laugh. Poor woman.

The papers choose which photos to print. They have a picture editor.
The photographers will have taken dozens, if not hundreds, of the things at one event.
The ‘mouth open ‘ pics will have been chosen for being more dynamic.
It is nothing to do with the DoC

I only see her if she happens to be on the tv news, but will have a good look next time,

I just think what lovely teeth she has.

What a thoroughly unpleasant post.

Agreed! Not necessary at all.

Necessariness is irrelevant. I have simply expressed a thought that has crossed my mind several times.

The softening of a raucous laughter look is not a scowl. I agree with those who are glad Kate is smiley and laughs a lot in public. I just don't think raucous suits her so well as something, well, less raucous-looking.

A raucous look is, as people suggest, appropriate with a bunch of ruggers but in so many of the photos of Kate the look is of raucousness rather than just enjoyment.

Just my opinion and, as I suggested above, I don't expect people to agree much.

Gosh! I hope she never gets a skin blemish it could completely ruin the whole bloomin’ icon/goddess status thing?
I am so not photogenic and manage to look horrendous in any photo no matter how composed I am.
She looks just fine to me
