Kate is accused of starving herself

The report goes on to inform how Kate’s pictures, particularly, sparked off online abuse, with detractors posting on the internet blogs and websites, assailing Duchess Kate for her lanky body-frame. Critics online dubbed as trolls, accused the Duchess of ‘starving herself.’

The Duchess of Cambridge was at the center of the new body controversy last week when Australian tabloid magazine Woman’s Day published bikini shots of her during her honeymoon which was kept a top secret.

The photographs showed Kate, 30 wearing a skimpy black bikini strolling along a Seychelles beach with new hubby Prince William attired in multicolored swimming trunk. But it wasn’t their romantic hand-holding that got everyone's attention. It was Kate’s ultra-thin frame.

The Duchess had toned down her body to a size 6 for her wedding in April 2011. However, when the photographs were splashed on websites and blogs last week, online detractors had a field day ripping the Duchess of Cambridge to shreds.

According to them she had taken her dieting fad a bit too far. One critic called Dereka posted: ‘She looks like she is starving herself,’ while another called Yazie added: ‘Kate, eat something.’ While Lucas, 23 said: “She has the body of a lanky teenage boy’

Jeanne Adams wrote under the heading 'New Kate Middleton Anorexic Rumors' rather bitchily: ‘Those two love vacations, and if Kate continues to wear a bikini and have shoulders twice as wide as her hips, then she’s going to have more problems from the media.’ 

Adams then goes on to add: ‘The couple were relaxed and thought they were alone and now the whole world knows about Kate’s unhealthy-looking body and will have an opinion.’

So how did Kate tackle this tough situation? Well, in the only way she can and that is by letting the power of the Palace to do the talking. She got the Palace to put out a request for respecting their privacy. And most of the medias' in UK and websites world-wide responded quite well by removing the pictures.
