'If I had that job I would only wear a dress once': Now Kelly Osbourne takes a swipe at Kate Middleton

By Daily Mail Reporter


Outspoken: Kelly Osbourne appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno yesterday


Kelly Osbourne has turned her critical eye onto Kate Middleton.

Days after slamming Christina Aguilera's fuller figure and calling her a 'fat b****' the star of E!'s Fashion Police has taken a swipe Duchess of Cambridge.

She appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and told him she thinks Kate shouldn't recycle her wardrobe.


'In England they are like look how thrifty she's being, showing the British public that the Royals are in a recession as well,' she said.

'Only in this country they call it a faux pas.'

Kelly said Kate's duties should entitle her to throw or give away her clothes at the end of every day.

She fumed: 'Well I'm sorry but if I had that job I would only wear it once.

'If I am going to be the future bloody Queen of England I'm going to wear that dress once because I'm giving up the rest of my life, all of my privacy, at least I can get a new dress every day.'

Leno chimed in: 'How about underpants? Would you throw them away?'
Kelly replied: 'Well, if I could I would.

'That's a really good idea actually.'

During the interview Kelly had to confront some of her own faux pas when Leno produced a picture of the last time she had been on the show when The Osbounes was on air and she refused to sit on the seat and instead slouched on the couch.

'That's hilarious,' Leno said in a sarcastic tone.

'It's not,' said Kelly. 'Its disrespectful and I look like a little s**t.'

Kelly was then quizzed whether her own weight loss since appearing on Dancing With The Stars had enabled her to become a fashionista.

Kelly said: 'No one takes fashion advice from a fat person - they don't.

'Unfortunately that's the world we live in.

'I've always had this little fashion voice inside me but nobody would pay attention and that's fine - I understand that's the way the world works.'

Haven't we seen that outfit somewhere before? Kate turns up to Zara's wedding in a coat she last wore in 2006

As the Duchess of Cambridge, the wife of the future King of England, Kate has the world at her feet.

After establishing herself as a fashion icon, designers are constantly falling over themselves in a bid to dress the world's most famous royal.

But as she arrived at Canonbury Kirk for Zara Phillips' wedding this afternoon wearing a dress that has rested in her wardrobe for more than five years, it sent out the clear message that Kate has no desire to act as Royal clothes horse - nor did she wish to turn Zara's big day into a fashion parade.

Eschewing expensive new couture, Catherine dipped into her closet to find an old favourite, a chic embroidered coat she last wore in 2006 at the wedding of Laura Parker Bowles. It was a simple look, perhaps chosen deliberately so as to avoid any possibility of upstaging the bride.

She gave the pale gold outfit an update with an oversized tilted hat, lined on the underside with a bow and giant bloom. On her feet, her trademark nude pumps.

Five years ago when she wore the outfit last, Catherine chose a beige and black feathered hat and nude kitten heels.

It is the second time this weekend that Kate has broken out a trusty favourite. At the pre-wedding cocktail party yesterday, Kate chose to wear a green Diane Von Furstenberg dress she had worn previously at a reception during her and William, the Duke of Cambridge's, tour of Los Angeles earlier this month.

In an attempt to make the outfit look different, Kate teamed it with a pair of black patent heels - in contrast to the nude court shoes she accessorised it with last time.

The $398 silk 'Maja' dress, from the designer's new collection, featured a green sash belt and a deep V back, complete with brushed gold buttons running down the seam.

Kate has decided to recycle outfits for other royal engagements too.

Earlier this year, she was seen wearing the same blue jacquard coat dress to the Duke of Edinburgh's 90th birthday party, after previously breaking it out back in 2009.

Kate also wore the same black and white dress she had previously worn to a nightclub back in 2007 as she attended a friend's wedding in June.

And, as she began her royal tour of Canada with William earlier this month, Kate made the decision to wear the white Reiss dress she had donned for one of her official engagement photographs ahead of the pair's wedding in April.

It was reported earlier this year that the Duchess had told a friend she didn't want to be a 'clothes horse', and was intending to wear her outfits more than once.

She was quoted as telling a friend: 'Times are tough; I cannot be expected to wear a new outfit for every royal engagement. I am not a fashion model.'

The friend also apparently said: 'The Duchess is aware that people are struggling in the current economic climate.

'Changing outfits for every engagement is simply not practical nor affordable and would send out the wrong message.'

The intelligent, efficient perfectionist: Kate Middleton would have made a 'great teacher' says leading handwriting expert

By Daily Mail Reporter


'Punctual, open, good at explaining things clearly': A handwriting expert claims the right-slanting cursive of the then Catherine Middleton, now the Duchess of Cambridge, means she would make an excellent teacher


The Duchess of Cambridge certainly earned top marks on her recent royal tour, but according to one character analysis expert, Miss Middleton may have missed her vocation.

A leading graphologist's study of the Duchess' handwriting has shown that her pedantry for time keeping, intelligence and efficiency would make her the perfect school teacher.

Former chairman of the British Institute for Graphologist, Elaine Quigley, studied a letter penned by Kate over a year before she became a member of the Royal Family in April.

She said the characteristics of Kate's cursive script is helpful in shedding light on her private persona and, in particular, her natural aptitude for academia.


Quigley said: 'The flow of Kate's script with rightward slant and joined letters, shows a writer who reaches out towards others.

'Looking at the letter, the endings of words are rather short, it shows her use of time is efficient. She doesn't prolong something that can be dealt with promptly.

'It is clear that she likes to move to the next thing without a lot of fuss or extended leave taking.

'She clearly believes time-keeping should be taken seriously and, as a bit of a perfectionist, she will prefer to be ready early rather than rushing at the last minute.

'Judging by the characteristics of her writing, Kate would make a great teacher, she has the ability to explain things clearly and sensibly.'

The Duchess lived up to her billing as the new people's princess on the tour of Canada with Prince William, where she effortlessly interacted with the public.

In the most touching picture moment of the tour Kate embraced a young cancer-sufferer - a show of Diana-like humility.

Upfront: Catherine's signature is readable and flowing, which denotes the fact that she is a natural in her way of dealing with people, says the expert


Quigley said the ease with which Kate interacts with normal people is not surprising given the clues in her script.

She said: 'Her signature is readable and flowing, which denotes the fact that she is up-front and natural in her way of dealing with people.

'It is clear that she is intelligent and uses both logic and sensory judgement in her appraisal of people and their needs. She is sensitive to how people respond to her.

'Looking at the writing itself, with the close line-spacing, it would seem that once she has embarked upon a social activity, she gives it her full commitment.

'She has a sense of justice and also of responsibility to those who need her support and she really does enjoy meeting people.'


Compassionate: Graphologist Elaine Quigley, one of the leading handwriting analysts in the country, says Catherine is an honest, strong person with a talent for 'reaching out' to others


Despite being the new darling of the Royal Family however, Quigley warned of a serious and businesslike edge to Kate's writing, something she said will stand her in good stead for her life of duty alongside William.

On the Canadian tour, the eldest Middleton showed her competitive spirit by taking on the future king in a Canadian Dragon boat race.

Despite coming in second best, Quigley said that fierce independence and a determination to do well is something we can expect to see more of from Kate.

She said: 'Kate is strong enough to evaluate a situation and, when able to follow her own judgement, she usually gets things right.

'Firmness and an inky pen trace shows a sensory personality attracted to what is useful and satisfying.

'She needs to be active, efficient and maintain high standards and likes to prepare for what she has to do, rather than rushing in and hoping for the best.

'I have no doubt that public office will be taken seriously and never seen as a chore.

'The combination of smooth but slightly angular writing shows an easy manner with a sharp mind.

'She recognises that privilege brings with it responsibility and she will be conscious of always carrying herself with dignity, pleasant receptivity and warmth'.
