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

Trine Jensen-Burke

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.

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 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!
