I’m not the only one who has noted “Waity” Kate Middleton’s diminishing frame these past few months. In her public roll-out the past few weeks, it seems that Kate has lost a significant amount of weight since the engagement announcement – and now lots of people are talking about princesses and body image. The Daily Mail ran an “open letter” to Kate about her diminished curves, basically saying that while Kate is under a lot of pressure, it also seems like she thinks she needs to be super-thin on her wedding day. Which brings up an interesting thought – just how good or bad is Kate’s personal body image? She’s billed by the royalists and Waity-apologists as a down-to-earth, athletic, wholesome girl who won the prince’s heart with her simplicity and naturalism. But is the real Waity a bag of nerves, ego, extreme dieting and superficiality? According to the Enquirer, Kate is already planning her subtle plastic surgery makeover:

Kate Middleton is on a quest – she wants a body fit for a queen! Middleton needs a head-to-toe makeover to ensure she looks her best for the future king od England, say experts. And the total body overhaul comes with a royal price tag of $150,000!

“Kate knows she’s about to become one of the most photographed women in the world, and that women will scrutinize every inch of her. She’s really dreading that,” an insider tells The Enquirer. “She wants to project a modern, glamorous image, and she knows that it’s best to have cosmetic intervention before any aging, sagging, drooping or wrinkling can mar her figure.”

The insider estimates Kate would have to drop well over $150,000 for her initial “aesthetic adjustments” and for “periodic tune-ups”. Kate’s makeover plan includes a breast augmentation, a more full and shapely derriere, hip liposuction, lip fillers, Botox shots, delicate touch-ups around the eyes, and a minor nose job, says the insider.

“Now that she’s joining the royal family, Kate obviously has to be discreet about her body changes. She doesn’t want to be embarrassingly photographed covered with bandages and with ugly black eyes from plastic surgery,” maintained the insider. “So she needs to plan mini-surgeries that won’t be obvious to the public. And for her procedures where she will have to stay out of the public eye for a short while, Kate has been looking for top surgeons in Switzerland.”

The article goes on to quote a few plastic surgeons at length who talk about how Kate isn’t old enough to do a full overhaul, but they recommend Botox and lip augmentation, because apparently the British expect their future queen to resemble Lindsay Lohan.

As far as the Enquirer’s report goes, I don’t believe the bulk of it. I doubt Kate is planning or considering Botox or any kind of nip or tuck. BUT – I do think she have makeover plans for herself, I just think they involve extreme weight loss, lots of clothes and perfect hair.

Also: some people believe Waity has already gotten some subtle work done over the years, like a slight nose job and some eye work. I don’t know though – I can’t see a huge difference.

Last thing: I will continue to jokingly refer to her as Waity because SHE IS STILL WAITING. She’s not his wife yet, people! Only when she gets married will I refer to her by Catherine or whatever title she gets. Lady Waity, of Duchess of Biscuits, what have you.
