Katie Couric: Kate Middleton Too Thin, "Needs to Eat More"

by at .

Discussing her new show Katie and which celebrities she'd like to interview, Katie Couric made some surprisingly candid remarks about one in particular.

"I think it would be interesting to interview Kate Middleton because she has comported herself so well since she has been thrust in the limelight," she said.

However, she added, "I think she needs to eat more because she’s so thin.”

Royal sources consistently reiterate that there is no problem with Kate's dietary habits, yet speculation and discussion about Kate's slender frame persist.

Some even think it may be at least part of the reason that the newlyweds have yet to become pregnant, despite their expressed desire to start a family.

It is not clear why Couric - who was granted exclusive access to the Royals for her ABC News Special - would have made the extraordinary comments.

She surely meant no harm, but the weight topic is a sensitive one to say the least at the palace, especially given Princess Diana's battle with bulimia.

Kate Middleton is not bulimic, obviously, and even seems to have put on (a little) weight in the past few weeks, though she remains naturally thin.

The palace has not yet responded to Couric's comments. What do you think? Is she out of line? Leave a comment and vote in the survey below:

    She was much heavier in the early years that they showed her, and trying to loose weight for the wedding. I don't call that natural. She's getting older and it shows. She should exercise and build some muscletone. Often her outfits are not flattering also. It's too bad they waited so long to marry.

    I feel strongly about women supporting and not attacking other women personally. Having said that, I don't think this was an attack at all. Should she have said it? Prob not, but it was not said with any sort of malice and she did not go on and on about it. Btw- IF she did have an issue with food these so called Royal sources would not have any clue about it. I actually don't even know anybody that thin but everyone is so sensitive that we're not allowed to acknowledge that. It is unusual, no? She certainly was not at all that thin in her college pics. Stranger things have have happened.
