Kate Middleton is Anorexic, Tabloid Outrageously Alleges

As an ardent supporter of Her Royal Highness, the Duchess of Cambridge, it pains me to read articles like the one published in a recent issue of the National Enquirer.



Gossip Cop has helpfully debunked a report that the former Kate Middleton has an eating disorder, and is “consulting a leading British medical expert who is treating her for the early stages of anorexia.”


Catherine has been the target of stories like this since she married Prince William in April 2011.  


Certain media outlets prey on her thin frame, using any and all opportunity to shout, “She’s not eating!” or “She’s down to 98 pounds and has resorted to eating mulch from the palace gardens!”


It gets worse.


“Instead of a body to die for, she ended up with a condition that can be fatal,” a palace insider claims, pointing out that Catherine works tirelessly to become the “Perfect Princess” through strict dieting and exercise.


“The sad fact is Kate overdid things,” said insider said with a (no doubt) heavy heart.


Yes, the Duchess of Cambridge is thin, but no one knows what goes on behind palace walls, and it’s very easy (and very uncool) to speculate about eating disorders.


If you must know, Catherine is very athletic; she plays tennis at the Harbour Club in London, runs, skiis and reportedly enjoys a spot of yoga.  


In November 2011, Catherine refused to try some peanut paste during a visit to UNICEF center in Denmark, which sent newspapers into a tizzy.  An insider explained that the newlywed was “not comfortable eating in front of the cameras.


“What if she didn’t like it and made a face? That expression would then be on every newspaper.” 


This is actually believable, even if the source had no connection to Catherine whatsoever.  Seeing as the poor girl’s life went from semi-private to 100% public after she said “I do,” I don’t blame her.
