For two people like them, that seems tacky and tasteless. I hope he didn’t pose you that. She’s gross and so is he for putting that crap on the wall. Wow, some future head of the Anglican Church.

Dear Kate,

Congratulations, you’re sleeping with a prince. I mean now people will know you two are actually together when they see you both in photographers. Good luck on becoming the World’s next Paris Hilton. Let me know when the sex tape is coming out.

Love,
Someone who’s not impressed

Wow! This is like English Royalty meets Titanic!

Keep painting Will in the nude for everyone to see and just like that famous White Star cruise ship, your relationship with him will sink into the icy abyss, Kate!

There's a very fine line that you have to walk with grace and dignity, and sweetheart, you're starting to stumble and trip like a cheap drunken whore after one too many drinks and tricks.

Best you take a page from Will's loving late mother, Diana, and NOT stoop to doing something Camilla would do herself! Have more class and respect for Will, since he's the love of your life. And if you cannot do this, then allow him to cut his losses now, rather than drag him down into the gutters with you!

Ladies and future queens DO NOT romp around in the nude for anyone to see! This includes paintings, photographs, etc.

You should be concentrating on becoming the future wife of your beloved...on becoming a Royal. NOT doing things by proving what a royal pain in the arse you are underneath all that false facade.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. In this case, it's no wonder Her Majesty is speechless! Shock and outrage wouldn't even begin to describe it, I'd imagine. I wonder how much backlash Will will have to contend with as a result of his girlfriend's amorous artwork.

For gods sake, everyone is human, she is an artist and doing a still life pitture is the hardest thing to do. he is a young MAN, and most men his age would aggree to do anything that invols getting undressed and close to a girl like that.

Ok she might not be Queen matirale but doesn't mean harry has to marry every girl he likes

Wow. I think its hilarious! What they do in their private lives is none of our business, if Kate wants to express her love to William in that way, let them be. Im sure if you loved your spouse that much, and you painted a picture, you wouldnt want most of the world to know about it. Well, unless he was absolutely gorgeous, like Wills. :D... Or maybe Kate brought embarrassment to the Royal Family...hmmm..sounds familiar

Has anyone seen the painting....No?.....How can anyone announce it to be gross, lewd, distasteful or any such thing without viewing the art in question first. I've never been a supporter of the monarchy, but now I think I will look forward to Prince William's Reign. Finally a true believer of the arts.

Ew, explained.Jun 24th, 2006 - 02:35:48

It’s not that we don’t like art, is the subjects. I myself adore the arts as well as the sciences, and even dream of being a model. He’s not William Washington the local baker; he’s William Windsor the future king of England and head of the Anglican Church.

It is also a gift that he should have received ‘under the table.’ The fact that we know is what’s disgusting. I mean it’s like excessive PDA. AND THEY ARE NOT MARRIED. Then there’s the fact that sex tapes and dirty photographs have a way of getting on the internet. Thank God there’s a ribbon over them, but then again how anatomically correct is it?

Even the best of us have enemies. People will do anything for money and attention these days. Do most people even know the different between porn and artistic nudes?

First blush: I think she painted soft-core porn. Just because paint was involved…

That is so tactless of both Kate and William. Really. I thought the future wife of the prince is supposed to be 'pure.' And honestly... that totally says that she isn't. The Queen has the right to be outraged.

Laughing my azz offJun 24th, 2006 - 14:46:09

I am literally in tears laughing at these Brits and their pompous and arrogant thoughts on themselves and others. 'Future head of the aglican church' HAWHAWHAW!!! Another institution that should be abolished along with Monarchies. You people are really screwed up in the head.

I’m actually American, one who has nothing better to do when procrastinating. I also don’t like fan forums that much. Stating the facts is not ‘being screwed up in the head,’ it’s just ‘telling it like it is.’ There’s no separation of Church and State in England, so he is the future head of their religion.

Do explain your argument; we could get a debate going. The way things are going, you just might get your wish. Then again, Bush could always ‘liberate’ the hell out of them too.

thought that at least william will be a good heir to throne... but i think that the monarchy should be put to a end..kings should aonly be there if they know the value attached to it.. if they want to be modern and be common let them stop the monarchy and live like common.

Not all responders are British!Jun 24th, 2006 - 23:21:33

I've made two responses on here, from which you've ASSUMED means i'm British. I'm an American! Hello. But at least I know enough about British royalty to know that regardless of personal differences, the British Royals must uphold to certain standards and that said painting is very subpar, solely based on the subject matter of Prince William and his 'nudity' alone.

Yes he is an adult and can make up his own mind, however he IS of royal blood, and therefore must act accordingly at all times, no matter what he'd rather be doing. Even he himself will attest to that, i'm sure.

im not british also but i agreeJun 25th, 2006 - 00:32:25

with whoever said that monarchy should be abolished i mean cmon we live in 21 century hello its like its so stupid why pay royals the money, they have plenty of $$ themselves. they probably look down on poorer people anyway like most riches do and ppl give em also their hard earned money huh?? plus royal hardly do what i call 'work', they jus cut ribbons and stuff. only late princess di did a lot of charities but shes gone now. plus many royals dont have morals at all, why pay so they can enyoj themselves in their perverted antics?? not jus william and his whoerish girlfrend like this article says,,also look at charles and camilla for example who were adulterers & now illegally married, and anyone remember what they did to beautiful princess diana how they mistreated her?? not jus charles and rotweiler but also the rest of royal family. plus princess di wrote in her letter charles was planning to kill her,, i dunno what was all that about but its like hello his late wife accused him of a murder before she died,and hes not questioned for it or arrested or whateva??if he was normal person hed be behind barrs long time ago i think. its like is this what kinda of ppl n britain wanna for a king & queens. those ppl should never represent anything least a country. its way better to have elected presidents like every normal country does in this world i mean at least u can change president every few years or so if theyr not right or dont do the job right. but not to have these ppl whor nothing but embarassment. even if if they were normal & living down my street id be sure to avoid them.

These posts are really quite fascinating. Here we have quite a few people, presumably young women, who are so shocked and disgusted at Kate's painting that one person went so far as to call it 'soft porn' - what does that say to a reasonable person? That these people are pining over someone who will never lay a finger on them and they are so jealous of Kate Middleton that it makes them physically ill.

Prince William and Kate Middleton most likely have a sexual relationship. They are both adults, regardless of their roles, and they are entitled to express their love for one another any way they wish. It is not the business of the tabloids or the public, and their relationship does not deserve such scrutiny. And if she's talented enough to paint such a picture, then God bless her for her commitment and dedication.

In other words, get over it. People who post nasty remarks about Kate Middleton aren't fooling anyone. Unfortunately, there aren't three billion Prince Williams to go around, so be a decent person and try lending a girl in both the best and worst situations a little support when the rest of the envious women in Great Britain and elsewhere are intent on tearing her down.

Oh, I’m sooooooo JEALOUS…Jun 27th, 2006 - 03:21:07

…of someone who is only famous for who she is shagging.

I replied back because have a free night. Anyway, I also don’t like being labeled a Kate Hater. Your answer is the easy answer. It is so easy to say someone is just jealous, than listen to their point. How about you try sticking to the facts, they aren’t just only two people for starters.

Anyways, we are ACTUALLY agreeing with the QUEEN. You know the woman who makes the rules; the person who gives this the green light or not.

AS I SAID EARLIER: That is a gift he should have received in PRIVATE!!!! There is nothing wrong with expressing their love, but there are certain topics one does not discuss at the dinner table, if you know what I mean.

THE FACT THAT WE KNOW ABOUT IT, is my main problem with it.
IT IS SOFTCORE PORN IF IT IS BEING DECRIBED AS RANCHY!

Why do you just assume that we are jealous of her? Why do you even assume we are all girls? Or even British, for that matter. If I envied anybody, I envy Prince William. Why do you just assume the rest of us have nothing going on? We all have our little secrets, do we not? You know more than just fan girls read these threads. Wonder what the populace is thinking.

A lot of this people did reply anonymously.

You people are making a huge issue over nothing. You are assuming that they are aleeping together because they are portrayed together, ridiculous, if she painted it she obviously didn't pose for it, thier so called private parts are covered (c'mon people everyone has them and hopefully sees them every day, 'hygeen' right). No one calls Angello's David or the Venus porn.He is placing the picture in his bedroom, where you prudes say such things belong.
And as for everyone knowing, They Are The Royals they don't sneeze or squat without everyone making an issue of it.
If you want to talk about lewd or improper look at the history of his ancestors, this young man is a saint in comparison to his father, and most of his ancestory.
I would love to see this work (if it's well done)and admire thier sence of art.

HelloJun 27th, 2006 - 22:03:49

I never said MA’s David or The Birth of Venus was not porn. Ancient Greeks used to wear phallic symbol around there necks like Christians to crosses. I do believe, like in the state of Nevada, prostitution is legal in Germany. Values on nudity and sexual expression are a cultural thing. *le sigh* Please read what I write. What is the point of commenting/ debating if you completely miss my point?

You can pose for a picture you are painting. All you need is a mirror or a photograph. That is how people paint self portraits. BUT who cares if she posed for it. She can pose for Playboy or Hustler for all I care. I was curious as to whether or not HE posed for it. Like someone said, and I agree, we do not know what it really looks like. Heck, I want to see it too! JUST NOT OVER THE INTERNET.

They do to do things we do not know about. Last I heard, the stalkerazzi were not allowed to follow him around at school or even when he is out. They are only allowed so much. There was a big fuss earlier about a picture of Kate and William being a bit more passionate than, usual while on one of their ski trips. The paper that ran the photos was not allowed to participate in an interview or something like that

So, WHY DO WE EVEN KNOW??!!

Why do you think they are not sleeping together? You are right The Royals are not the most moral bunch of people; they have been dating for at least two years; I have heard it somewhere that Kate is not a virgin. This is also not the first relationship for either of them, and William is also rumored to have wondering eyes.

No, I am not an expert on The Royals nor do I claim to be. I have only been interested in them for about a year, but they have links to newspaper articles on them on the fansites. What I have read about them would not suggest otherwise.

Look

It is not a big deal, unless it is a big deal. Frankly, I have fun just debating. It is the Summer term here in America. I should join a fansite, but I thought the audience here would be a bit more grown up. I really do not like scrolling through all the WE LUV U K8’s!!!!!

Not infatuated over William like some teenager.Jun 28th, 2006 - 03:37:56

I looked at it from a mature, responsible point of view. That whole painting issue should've been kept PRIVATE, but since it wasn't, and was made public, EVERYONE has the right to comment. Commenting on something such as the nudity of a public figurehead, such as Prince William DOES NOT mean we're all just dying to get into bed and sleep with the guy! So he's rich, big deal. So he's famous, woohooo. He's a person just like everyone else, no matter his social status or sex appeal. However, the flipside of his social status is what we've all tried to keep in perspective here, if you'd taken the time to read what was written instead of twisting words to justify your own set beliefs and opinions. I've said it before and i'll say it again: certain standards and conduct are a MUST at ALL times when you are of a certain social status, as the British Royal family is.

So, in closing, think what you will. Say what you want. Believe as you wish. But...for once, don't ASSUME we're all just out to bash Kate and steal the Prince for ourselves! *laughs* That's simply not the case. Most of us are more mature than that 'teenage lust and jealousy' label you've been so keen to try to apply to us all who've commented thus far.

also i dont understand why d i have to praise a girl who has done nothing to earn respect of others? ik not talking only about this ridiculous painting, but other things aswell. for one she has done noothing with her life, she doesnt even have a JOB even though she finished university long time ago, she is constantly pictured shopping, partying and getting drunk, and only recently she was pictured flipping off photographers,, not only shes rude and crude,shes lazy spoiled rich socialite mooching off daddys money and i cant stand that kinda people.and why people assume every girl likes prince william????there are better man outthere!!! as much as ive read about him hes not a good person, also he has changed a lot. and hes supposed to be at sandhurst, but he gets pictured playing polo, at parties, or going to footbal games,,he has no work ethic, pretty much similar to his girlfriend. their well suited for each other i think. also i dont like the way hes constantly praised by the press, and the way he pretends to be this perfect prince ugh. and the way palace spin builds him up on the expense of his younger brother -- they always trash harry but harry is way better IMO. at such young age he set up a CHARITY, and when did will do any charity work?? he only thinks about himself and his pleasures, his brother could teach him a thing or two. not only prince harry has a good heart, but he trains hard & rarely ever missed from sandhurst.. and whats also important theres nothing fake about him unlike the other prince,harry is always straight about himself, and he treats his women right, he stands up for his girlfriend, defends his mom when noone from his family does,, hes good and will always be so i say GO HARRY!!!
