Kate’s cousin Katrina did a ‘striptease’
Katrina Darling, the cousin of Prince William’s bride-to-be Kate Middleton, was the centre of attention when she performed her regal striptease in 2010, a media report said on Saturday. Her signature act, aptly titled “God save the Queen”, ends with her attired in nothing more than red nipple tassels and a barely-there thong, the Daily Mail reported. It is the royal family’s closest brush with “soft porn” since Prince Andrew’s love interest Koo Stark appeared naked in an erotic film, the newspaper said. Her role in the risque movie, Emily, famously ended the 18-month relationship after Buckingham Palace deemed her unsuitable. So one wonders what “the firm” would make of Miss Darling’s act which, although arguably patriotic, is unlikely to secure an invitation to the royal wedding, it said. The dancer had no idea she was related to Miss Middleton when she created her regal striptease in 2010.
