I know the DoC follows a strict eating regime.

Remember, Photos put on weight hmm; what does she really look like? Arms are a give-away. Think back, Angelina Joli had scrawny thin arms and no bust?

When we were allowed to see photos of Katherine, as she was then, walking down a catwalk in Uni, she looked slim and fit.

I think she (Kate) looks fine, healthy and happy. Some people are just lucky naturally slim. Hard to imagine 2 stone down the line, but I often used to be told I was too thin, usually by people who were a tad overweight. It was extremely irritating!

Yes KatyK and I don't think that dress she wore for one of her wedding bashes flattered her at all (the one that went up at the front).

I agree gilly That wife of George Clooney is painfully thin too. Her legs look as though they could snap at any minute.

In my opinion she is a clothes horse. No different to the stick thin models we all complain that encourage young girls to have eating disorders.

I also thought she looked too thin when I caught a glimpse of her on the early morning news. I am sure she is exhausted and always having to look 'one's best' must take it's toil. I think if she were still breast feeding her boobs would look more fuller? I hope she just chills on days off and wanderes around in pyjamas 'til noon! I very much doubt it though.

I agree bags and I didn't think she looked too happy either when caught unawares!

If breast feeding made one thin, I reckon it'd be a lot more popular than it is.

In pictures of Kate during her university years, she does not look so thin as she has since her marriage, but more like a healthy and robust young woman (healthy and robust without being in the least overweight).

Possibly she is still breastfeeding.

My DM was always very thin until she was about 40. She always described herself as 'thin as a lath'.
I take after the other side of the family!

I thought she looked a little wan- perhaps she is tired or pregnant again?

They (her mother and sister) follow some sort of diet I think.

She does look extremely thin, but she looks happy and well at the same time. Some people are just disposed to be on the skinny side.
Not me unfortunately!

It is not usual for me to make personal comments but if the DoC's family are not concerned about her weight I feel they should be. This is not a good example to young people. In today's press her body looks positively emaciated.
