The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are planning to sue the British glossy magazine Tatler for an article about Kate, replete with, in their opinion, biased, sexist allegations about her thinness, views and manners, as well as comparing Kate with Princess Diana in an insulting manner for both women. Writes about it Air force.
The story is about material published on the magazine's website under the heading "Catherine the Great" with the subtitle "How the Crisis Made Kate an Influential Person", in which author Anna Pasternak traces the rise of Prince William's wife from a middle-class girl raised in a middle-class family to a significant public figure.
The material was published in anticipation of the July print issue of Tatler magazine with Kate on the cover.
According to the British tabloid Mail on Sunday, the couple sent through their lawyers a request to the editorial office of the journal that the material about the duchess be removed from their online publication.
This is an extremely unusual step for the royal family, preferring not to enter into legal strife and respond in silence to any fabrications of the press.
On the subject: Princess Diana's sister could have become the wife of Prince Charles, but ruined everything in one interview.
However, according to the Mail on Sunday newspaper, the Kensington Palace press office is outraged by allegations that Kate is allegedly exhausted and trapped in royal duties after Prince Harry and Megan decided to leave royal affairs.
The Kensington Palace issued a statement in the last week of May, noting that the Tatler article contains many inaccuracies and misleads readers.
It is reported that Prince William and Kate are extremely saddened by how the article talks about Kate's parental family, her children, and how she watches over her figure.
In particular, the author of the article draws a parallel between the thinness of Kate and the figure of William Diana's mother, who suffered from bulimia.
The Mail on Sunday quoted an unnamed royal source as commenting on the Tatler article: “This is an extremely brutal, painfully stinging attack. Disgusting reading; the worst manifestation of sexism and shaming. "
“This material is full of lies. There is not a word of truth in the statement that the Duchess feels exhausted under the oppression of duties, as well as in the fact that the Duke adores Carol Middleton. This is wildness and utterly untrue, ”said the same royal source.
The Tatler material contains a phrase that William is fixated on Kate's mother Carol, seeing her as a “mommy”, whom he has missed all his life.
“It's ironic that the beloved royal family magazine printed them like that. The Duchess is by nature a shy woman who tries her best to do her best, ”said the royal source.

The author of the material “Catherine the Great” Anna Pasternak is the grand-niece of Boris Pasternak. It is not the first time that she addresses the topic of the current royal family: in 1994, Anna Pasternak released a biographical book "Princess Love" about the romance between Princess Diana and James Hewitt.
She is also the author of the 2016 documentary novel Lara about Olga Ivinskaya, Pasternak's beloved woman, who inspired him to create the image of Lara in Doctor Zhivago.
