Kate v. Michelle

The Daily Mail thinks Kate won the sartorial battle running away, while Yahoo Shine! praises Michelle.

Bottom line: nationalism rules here as elsewhere.

Double bottom line: why, oh why, does anyone care about what these people wear?

Addendum: it turns out there was a scandal about Kate's dress because it was not made by highly paid Italians but rather by poorly paid Romanians. The most damning evidence of their oppression:
Many of the women who filed out of the factory gates this week barely knew who Prince William’s wife was, let alone that they were behind her outfit.
The horror.
