Margaret Atwood has an announcement to make. She has no problem with Kate Middleton’s fashion sense.
An offhand comment Ms. Atwood recently made about the Duchess of Cambridge was caught on video and has caused quite a stir among royal watchers in the United Kingdom and Canada.
During an event at the Victoria and Albert Museum on the subject of clothing and literature, Ms. Atwood said Ms. Middleton “dresses quite uneventfully” and that “she’s watching her back. I think she probably has people who
pretty much tell her what is appropriate for her to wear. I don’t think she’s become the fashion plate that Diana was, and I think she’s probably doing that advisedly, wouldn’t you say?”
Royal biographer (and editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine) Ingrid Seward, lept to Kate’s defence, telling the Daily Express that the Duchess has less flexibility in her wardrobe than people would think.
“You’re a bit limited if you’re a member of the Royal Family,” she said. “You’ve got to dress as if you’re going to a wedding every day,” she said.
Calling the situation “so idiotic it’s funny”, Ms. Atwood sent the following response to the Globe and Mail in an effort to douse the growing scandal.
