    You mean the one where she almost exposed herself to HRH Prince
Charles? 

    Actually, I think her more conservative clothing choices are more
due to fashion (who wears spaghetti tops in this day and age? Other
than Tori, that is.) I also think she is self-conscious about her weight. 
Some of the charity events and Wogan appearances happened during 
periods when Kate would be in the studio drinking tea and munching on 
Kit-Kats...several years of sitting in one place can have the effect of
of putting on a few more pounds than the vicious hacks of the UK
music press will "allow". 

    As Kathleen Turner said: "After a certain age, you can either keep 
your face or your body". I'd hate to see Kate destroy her face in a
vain attempt to maintain the body of a 19 year old...a la Jane Fonda.

Myself, I don't care what weight she is...as long as she keeps producing 
music. But I hope that isn't why she's stayed off the road.
