Kate hailed as pro anorexia role model





I've written a few posts over the last number of months about the media's obsession with convincing us all that Duchess Kate has an eating disorder. Sadly the story has continued with revelations that Kate is being hailed as a role model on pro anorexia websites in the U.S. One poster asks on the site 'Is anyone else sort of getting hacked off by how much weight Kate Middleton is losing?' The site charts Kate's weight with a collection of photos from her uni days.
Yesterday a friend of the Duchess said 'Kate will be horrified to learn she is being hailed as a success story on pro ana websites. Kate is very slender but she certainly doesn't have an eating disorder. Yes she has lost weight but that is largely down to the stress she has been under with all the travelling around recently'. I was quite shocked myself to read this story. It is promoting such an unhealthy attitude towards weight. Of course Kate's figure has changed in the past ten years and she is undeniably very slim but I absolutely do not believe she has an eating disorder. Like her sister Pippa (Who has also been included on these sites), Kate is very athletic and has a lot of muscle. (We all saw photos of her rowing). Personally I think the site should remove her photos. Kate is an important role model and most definitely not for the reasons the pro ana site are promoting.
What do you all think of this? Should they take the photos down? It looks like, as with Diana speculation about Kate's weight will be making headlines for some time to come.
