Looking at the two photos, it's the one on the left that looks plastic and man made. What a bitch!

What an unbecoming attack on a young woman who is not in a position to defend herself.
Women don't need men around to put them down when the likes of Mantel are given the floor do they?

Shame she can't express her feelings about the duchess in her face, which appears to be equally bland! That'll be the botox - miaow! grin

What a pity she uses her ability with words to such damning effect. Free speech and all that, but for what purpose? Oh, I get it - to promote her book!

Good heavens! Don't hold back, Hilary!
