The Duchess of Cambridge is doing just fine
HILARY MANTEL could not have been more wrong in her attack on Kate Middleton, describing her as insipid compared with the strong personality of Princess Diana - what rot.
Kate is not insipid. She is discreet, in which she reminds you of no one so much as the Queen.
As for Diana, she was fascinating, complex, glamorous and greatly missed but that strong personality nearly put paid to the Windsors.
The monarchy, which so many of us still revere, will be much better off with Queen Kate.
