The post-modern woman follows the latest sluttish trends, exposing as much skin as possible without being arrested for indecent exposure, yet will parrot the latest multi-culti truism, and have no qualms about Muslim women in full Islamic gear walking around her neighborhood.
Well, Kate Middleton, aka the Duchess of Cambridge, bride to the future king of England and ruler of the Commonwealth, parades around topless on an island resort while on vacation, and sees nothing contradictory about attending a princely (and princessly) visit to the Muslim country of Malaysia in a "respectful" hijab.
Hasn't she learned from the folly of her predecessors that anything the royals do is fodder for the public? Topless in a remote island while on vacation? What a silly woman. And why is she topless in the presence of her husband? Cannot she muster a little modesty in front of him?
I suppose this is what bored monarchs do, and why they got relegated to mere cosmetics. But, they can't even look good, so what good are they?
I like Queen Elizabeth (I've written about her here and here), but her odd forays into territory she doesn't understand, following what useless advisers tell her are good things, shows that even she has become the last bastion of this formidable, and fading lineage.
Perhaps Americans were right. It has taken us several hundred years to realize that the British monarchy has served its purpose, and nothing can ignite it anymore. I had hopes on William, but with a Crown Princess like that, who wants him around?
