The Duchess of Cambridge has promised to dutifully obey the Queen’s revised Order of Precedence and curtsy to the “blood princesses” even though she reportedly finds the whole thing a bit odd.
An anonymous source quoted Kate saying: “Wouldn’t it be better if I first offer them a tampon from my handbag, or suggest they wear a dark dress?”
Palace sources rejected accusations that the new Order of Precedence was a back-handed dig at Camilla: “Reports of her tampon-using were disregarded as hearsay and fantasy”.
