Princess Kate Gets Asked How She Stays So Thin — and Her Response Is Priceless

When you are in the public eye, like the Duchess of Cambridge, you must be well-used to many aspects of your private life creating great public interest and even debate. Kate Middleton's weight and slender figure make headlines ever so often, and while currently on a week-long tour of India, the Duchess even found herself having to field questions about her weight.

A great start to #RoyalVisitIndia in #Mumbai yesterday! Looking forward to Day 2 today. Thank you for all of the kind messages on Day 1 of The Duke and Duchess's tour - follow #RoyalVisitIndia for updates!

While attending a party celebrating Queen Elizabeth’s 90th birthday in Delhi, Kate found herself in conversation with some fellow guests – and even had to answer a few rather cringeworthy questions too. Local professor Bulbul Dhar-James (who later recalled the conversation to People magazine) asked the Duchess: "How do you lose all the weight after having two kids?'”

The Duke and Duchess arrive in Mumbai and lay a wreath at the Taj Palace Hotel Memorial to remember the victims of the 2008 terror attacks. Their Royal Highnesses then chatted to staff who helped to protect guests during the attacks #RoyalVisitIndia A photo posted by Kensington Palace (@kensingtonroyal) on Apr 10, 2016 at 12:38am PDT

The Princess' response to the rather intrusive question? “I am running after my kids!” Good woman, Kate. In fairness, while we know that can’t be all that goes into her weight loss (a private chef and personal trainer have got to help the process along), we do applaud Kate’s easy reply in the face of a rather personal question. Because sure we’re all wondering, but still — talk about putting a woman on the spot!
