Let's please leave this poor young woman alone. If she works she is wrong. If she doesn't work she is wrong. If she does charity events it is the wrong charity or she falls and is blamed for it as if she were pole dancing in public; or the charitable activity is too physical or not physical enough. She is a wealthy, intelligent and healthy young woman saddled with a wealthy, bright-enough inmature boyfriend. She evidently loves him enough to allow herself to be abused by the press, his family and the public. The boyfriend, unfortunately for her, is evidently too afraid or too weak to stand up for her. I feel sorry for her.

I'm with Ann on the comment - the Middletons built their relative wealth on this family-run business. It is not unusual to have children and other relatives work for such an enterprise and affords a compromise of privacy and a legitimate work. It is also a standard to have a group photo in a brochure, website, etc.. This is non-story. The tabloids and (formerly) reputable papers are desperate for a story, probably no more so that poor KM to find a job where she would not be accused of something. I may not agree with the Windsor's bloodsports or the girfriends'/spouses' support but the whole royal connection exploitation story to boost her parent's business is rediculous.

Um, what is the issue here? It's a childrens party supply company. Obviously little girls sometimes like and will want a Princess themed birthday party so they will obviously sell Princess themed party supplies. If they sell Royal Air Force themed supplies for litte boy parties would that be exploiting William too because he's in the RAF? People need to give the royals and their loved ones a break; if they don't work they're lazy but everytime they try to people claim they're cashing in on the monarchy or only got the job because of their connections. Girlfriend, I hope he's worth all the hell you get.

I can't see the problem. I used to dress up as a princess and go to princess parties.Lots of party companys sell snow white, sleeping beauty etc... party things. So why can't Party pices do the same.

Can we not all agree that there is a HUGE diff between the princesses in
fairy tales and real life? Ridiculous. Just as Teddy Bears were first
based on black bears they changed and morphed into something totally
different. You would never confuse the two,nor would you confuse a make
believe version of 'Monarchy' with the House of Windsor. Critics of Miss
Middleton over this sort of thing REALLY need to get a life.
