I was listening to the radio at work one day when I heard that William and Kate were in town to meet with families and business owners affected by the riots. That's nice but it seemed like what mattered most to people regarding the visit was, oo la la,
Kate's new outfit!
A
Daily Mail article, for instance, features a picture of the royal couple talking to a man in a red shirt--presumably a victim of the riots. But Mr. Red Shirt is not identified in the caption. Why? Because the
real news was that "Kate wore a silk blouse and matching pencil skirt by Alexander McQueen designer Sarah Burton."
(No, I'm not surprised by any of this; I just find it amusing.)
