Actually not only an ambassador for the UK he's a Search and Rescue Pilot in a sea king helicopter. So not unemployed at all. I personally am fed up with this nonsense. The Royalty have always had the best, and considering the absolute waste in this country on every level. Why not.

@magsip, I don't see why not, after all I'm certain you've contributed towards purchasing it like we all have with our "66p" so by default you have a stake in its ownership!!!

I think there is a mental illness at play with Kate. She sounds like she has some obsessive compulsive tendencies, among other flaws. Just ridiculous.159438Click to rate

chips.... the tax payer isn't paying for it, its a private residence and as such does not receive any public money.

sbr, the taxpayers have already paid millions to reroute a road at this house, provide quarters for security staff, and do the same at the Middletons house. It has already received public money and will continue to do so. We, the taxpayers, have paid for improvements at Kate's parents house - how can that possibly be justified?47470Click to rate

No one wants to know that the taxpayer one is a professional kitchen for a huge establishment that takes up half a wing at Kensington Palace, and that they paid for their own little one in their own little residence and are renovating a private home, also NOT paid for by the taxpayer!261148Click to rate

That's very naive, Sansea. Privately funded? From all the hard work their family has done? Give me a break. Those 'private funds' are just the result of CENTURIES of sponging off taxpayers.112664Click to rate

Mr Friday - keep up old boy. The (haha) Ambassador gave up his S&R 'job' last September so he could have another gap year to decide what he wanted to do. You'll have to think of something else to big him up for now as we cannot!

I can't understand how he got to be a pilot, he is blind as a bat but too vain to wear specs. The yanks couldn't believe it when their photographers were allowed up to an aircraft he was about to fly and saw him strap on these specs with lenses like beer bottles. google it.324Click to rate

The old kitchen will never to be seen again. Certainly won't benefit anyone else!

Your unpleasant griping is based on the speculation of what might happen by an anonymous employee who has been paid for gossip. There is no evidence to suggest this private kitchen is to be "ripped out" whatsoever. You lot really are gullible for clickbait posted overnight to titillate American readers to generate advertising sales.

The old kitchen should be sympathetically removed, and put up for Auction, with all proceeds going to a worthy charity?

Mr Finley, Willy was a co-pilot on Puma's, I can guarantee the REAL pilot never left the controls. Ambassador? You mean like air-miles Andy? Next you will tell us Princess Anne actually drives the tanks.

Jon Cooper - that was air ambulance last week not search and rescue. But of a difference - not that he will do it full time anyway. I kept up, you didn't!

I think the headline is misleading. The kitchen is years old. What young couple doesn't want to make changes in their new home. Also, the company who supplied the kitchen are using the royal connection and showing the kitchen on their website

Not forgetting that grandmama has just bought him an eight million pound helicopter, now that might well have come from private funds ( taxpayers money salted away over the years), but who do you think is going to be paying for it's maintainance and it's fuel in the years to come?633Click to rate
kate, austria, Austria, 7 years ago
I am the last to defend this lazy woman, but: the kitchen has been there for years, they did not design it, they inherited it together with the house. I do not for a moment believe Kate will spend too much time there preparing anything, with an army of servants on alert and waiting to help her out, so she could have kept it without batting an eye. But if she wants to have her own design, something that she can redecorate over and over again, like Kensington Palace's interior, so be it. It would, however, had crossed my mind to provide some compensation for the former owners and designers of this magnificent kitchen, obviously, at an appropriately depreciated price, just to show they were not insensitive to the efforts of others. But that is a tall order for these two spoilt... children, to put it nicely.1513Click to rate

I hope they're going to donate the old kitchen to a charity. If they're careful with the removal, the cabinets and certainly the appliances can be reused by someone else. I understand wanting to live in an environment that is truly yours. Most of us have that luxury, and that kitchen isn't to my taste either. As long as they're paying for it themselves and not wasting what can be salvaged, I really see no problem with it.
