Duchess Kate: Why everyone’s talking about her fingers

When you’re the Duchess of Cambridge your public appearance is always going to come under constant media scrutiny (particularly in 2018). But the latest raft of media coverage seems to have taken things to the next level, with a new report from the Daily Mail focussing the microscope firmly on the 36-year-old’s fingers.

The UK version of the tabloid magazine published the bold and shocking claim that the royal mum has an abnormal hand, with a ring, middle and pointer finger “all the same length”.

The investigation came with zoomed-in photos of Catherine holding her clutch purse by visiting a poem in Oxford, seemingly proving the accusations in question.

“For example, it was noted by scientists ... that men whose index fingers are longer than their ring fingers are significantly less likely to develop prostate cancer,” the Daily Mail article notes.

See, her fingers are perfectly normal.

However, you don’t have to be a super sleuth to notice that it could just be an angle issue, as multiple photos of Kate in different contexts show her fingers are the same length.

What are your thoughts?
