Madam, - Since when does an English prince's girlfriend's presence in Dublin warrant a front-page news story and photograph in The "Irish" Times? The only true royalty in attendance was the mighty Quinn. - Yours, etc,
GEAROID McHUGH, City Quay, Dublin 2.
Madam, - How disappointing that The Irish Timeshas aped the worst aspects of British tabloid culture and the hypocrisy of "celebrity culture" with a story and photograph about Kate Middleton, less than a week after the same person formally complained about being harassed by press photographers in her own country.
Our home-grown, narcissistic, self-appointed Celtic Tiger "royalty" are bad enough without having to read about the imported variety in your paper. - Yours, etc,
ULTAN Ó BROIN, South Circular Road, Dublin 8.
