By ANIWednesday, November 24, 2010
LONDON - Socialite Jemima Khan has received intense criticism after she posted a Twitter message saying that bride-to-be Kate Middleton does not have “heir-bearing” hips.
Khan posted a string of messages on her JemKhan feed appearing to criticize Prince William’s fiance for being too thin, reports the Telegraph.
She initially tweeted: “Kate Middleton - those are not heir-bearing hips are they? Unfeasibly narrow.”
The 36-year old later backtracked and said: “I wasn’t being unkind… Wouldn’t every girl like to have unfeasibly narrow hips? Who wants to be described as having child bearing ones?”
She went on to delete the original tweet, adding: “There - deleted the “unfeasibly” as what I meant is she’s v trim and lovely.”
She then posted another message saying: “Kate Middleton- those are not heir bearing hips are they?”
One user, supernova_nano, responded: “so u deleted ur “unfeasibly” idiotic tweet? u r as good as ur deleted tweets”.
Minutes later Khan wrote “Oh… WHATEVVVVER.” (ANI)
