The Duchess of Cambridge’s bottom is currently all over German newspaper Bild. In the image in question, a gust of wind has ripped up the Duchess’ skirt, revealing her seemingly completely bare behind.
Some of us are outraged that Duchess Catherine won’t show solidarity with the common people by wearing control knickers after having had a baby (what, she thinks she’s better than us?).
But for the rest, the question is more about whether or not the photographs should have been published at all.
The picture was taken by Diane Morel, an Australian hobby photographer, who snapped the offending image in the Blue Mountains, on the royal family’s recent trip down under. Bild is reporting that Morel had no idea she’d captured the royal rump until she went through the photographs on her memory card, well after the visit had finished. When she made the discovery, she did what any enterprising photographer would do and sold the snaps to a tabloid.
Bild, doing what many enterprising publications would do, bought the snaps and padded out the new images with older photographs of the Duchess’ rear, taken in other wind-related wardrobe malfunctions, alongside a series of celebrity ‘belfies’ from the likes of Kim Kardashian, and other pap butt photos.
Bild (which translates as Picture) is basically Germany’s Daily Mail, so embarrassing bottom shots are stock in trade for the publication.
