Mantel's comments on Kate completely misguided: David Cameron

London: Prime Minister David Cameron, on a trip to India, has termed as “completely misguided and completely wrong” the venomous verbal attack on Kate Middleton by British novelist Hilary Mantel. The 60-year-old double Booker prize winning author has called 31-year-old Kate a “shop-window mannequin” with a “plastic smile” and said the impression of future queen was “jointed doll on which rags are hung”.

Mantel launched the withering attack two weeks ago during the London Review of Books’ lecture entitled ‘Undressing Anne Boleyn’, which was reprinted this week in the London Review of Books literary journal. She said Kate had neither the personality of William’s mother Diana nor Anne Boleyn – one of her historical heroines. “She appears precision-made, machine-made, so different from Diana whose human awkwardness and emotional incontinence showed in her every gesture.” Before marrying Prince William, she was a “shop-window mannequin, with no personality of her own, entirely defined by what she wore. These days she is a mother-to-be, and draped in another set of threadbare attributions… her only point and purpose being to give birth,” she said, sparking outrage with some newspapers branding the words “venomous” and “cruel”. The royal couple’s office declined to comment. PTI
