Yikes. They haven’t had a low blow like this in a very long time. One royal socialite has gone on the record to call Prince William and Kate Middleton “dreadfully common” and “childish.” That’s because of their supposedly petty behavior. Here’s what you need to know.
Prince William And Kate Middleton – Slammed As ‘Dreadfully Common And Childish’
Interior designer Nicky Haslam, who used to party with Princess Diana, spent time with Queen Elizabeth and calls Camilla Parker Bowles a friend, had not so nice things to say about the Prince and Princess of Wales.
He feels so disappointed in William and Kate that he added them to his annual ‘Common List,’ which is a list of things that have caused him ‘distress’ in the past year.
Haslam even criticized Kate Middleton for dressing the entire family in the same color over and over again.
He said, “You see endless pictures of the whole family in various shades of blue. It’s common. It’s so odd to see an entire family dressed in blue. Wouldn’t little Princess Charlotte like to wear white? It’s supposed to suggest a calm upper-classness, which is so dull. If you look at pictures from the old days, the royals had wonderful exotic clothes. But now they look like dummies in Peter Jones’s window.”

He also said, “They do childish things, like play football and games. They couldn’t be less sophisticated. They don’t go to literary lunches and read extraordinary books or go to the theater.”
Many royal fans have commented on the matter with, “Just because Nicky’s a pretentious snob doesn’t mean he isn’t right. Kate overdid the blue with the family photos, especially with Charlotte. A cute little princess, a nice clothing budget, access to every brand on earth, but repeatedly turns out in nothing but shades of blue. Boring,” along with,
“This is interesting. I am sure a certain segment of the British Upper Class is snobby about art, literature, and music. But I thought the Gentry itself was supposed to be sort of intellectually incurious? To care more about dogs, horses and maintaining their old houses and portraits than anything else?”
