Middletons Slammed For Cashing In On Royal Baby

[icyfroth]

Michael and Carole Middleton have been branded "tasteless and vulgar" for allegedly "cashing in" on their daughter's unborn baby.

Before Kate was even out of her first trimester, her parents' party supplies company Party Pieces was selling royal baby-themed merchandise.

I don't see anything wrong with it myself. Any new baby could be seen as a little prince or princess.

And the little crown diagram is just a standard crown pic, not a copy of the royal family's crown.

Some people are never happy unless they've got something - or even better someone - to whinge about - it's the politics of envy.

i'm not envious of the gina rineharts of this world she-ele, but i do believe she (along with the other billionaires) should be taxed at a high rate. all of those assets and cash in one pocket keeps others empty. the thought of such an imbecile being able to buy influence (media) is a bit much. having the views of the terminally stupid at the fore is too much to have to bear.

I wasn't implying for a moment that you were envious, LL. I hope I know you better than that.. I was responding specifically to the accusations against the Middletons and and the fact that there are people out there who do resent anyone who is seen to be more fortunate than they are.

FFS, they own a party supply business that has probably been selling similar throw away stuff for years. Little prince/little princess stuff has been around longer than Kate and Wills.

Some people must expect them to retire and stop making a living because their daughter married a prince.

i'm not sure why i even posted that here . (in this thread i mean) could be the review i was reading (of gina's 'book') caused me not to think straight 🙂

Well I suppose if they can make a buck out of their over priced merchandise, flogging it to cater to other people's little darlings, then good luck to them.
