Nicky Haslam is a British interior designer and professional snob. He\u2019s well-connected and counts King Charles and Queen Camilla as good friends and supporters. He makes news every so often for talking sh-t about royals and celebrities. In 2018, he talked sh-t about the Duchess of Sussex and her family, although Haslam apparently thinks Doria Ragland is above reproach. Well, Haslam has released his annual list of what\u2019s \u201ccommon\u201d (as in, low class) in Britain. And he ended up slamming Prince William and Kate:<\/p>\n

\n

Born to one of Queen Victoria\u2019s goddaughters, Nicky Haslam socialised with Princess Diana, has worked for King Charles, is a good friend of Queen Camilla and once sang in front of Queen Elizabeth. The waspish interior designer is, however, not impressed by the Prince and Princess of Wales. Haslam, 84, accuses the heir to the throne and his wife of being \u2018childish\u2019, unsophisticated and dressing like dummies in a department store window.<\/p>\n

So disappointed is he that he\u2019s included them on his \u2018Common List\u2019, his playfully snobbish compilation of things that have caused him distress over the past year. <\/p>\n

The family are included as \u2018The Waleses in blue\u2019, referring to the way that they have worn colour co-ordinated outfits. \u2018You see endless pictures of the whole family in various shades of blue,\u2019 he tells me. \u2018It\u2019s common. It\u2019s so odd to see an entire family dressed in blue. Wouldn\u2019t little Princess Charlotte like to wear white? It\u2019s supposed to suggest a calm upper-classness, which is so dull. If you look at pictures from the old days, the royals had wonderful exotic clothes. But now they look like dummies in Peter Jones\u2019s window.\u2019<\/p>\n

He adds of William and Catherine: \u2018They do childish things, like play football and games. They couldn\u2019t be less sophisticated. They don\u2019t go to literary lunches and read extraordinary books or go to the theatre.\u2019<\/p>\n

The Old Etonian also includes \u2018fly-pasts\u2019 on his list. \u2018They come at every single opportunity, they even happen in France now,\u2019 he tells me. \u2018The royals must also find them common. Wouldn\u2019t you after the 100th fly-past? Wouldn\u2019t you rather get inside and have a drink?\u2019<\/p>\n

Haslam, whose clients have included Sir Mick Jagger and Sir Rod Stewart, also condemns Wimbledon, telling me: \u2018The people who go to it, the whole atmosphere, is now common, there is no glamour whatsoever. It\u2019s no longer elite.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

[From The Daily Mail]<\/p>\n

The Wimbledon thing is funny because so many celebrities turned out for Wimbledon this year, and the royal reporters rushed to give Princess Kate \u201ccredit\u201d for creating such an A-list atmosphere, even though she only turned up one time before the finals. The All-England Club is actually trying to be a touch more \u201ccommon\u201d and user-friendly – they\u2019re trying to make money, after all. <\/p>\n

As for Haslam\u2019s criticism of Rage and Wiglet\u2026 he\u2019s right? The thing is, Kate used to be praised for bringing her \u201cmiddle class\u201d values to the Windsors. Things like coordinating colors with her children, going to sporting events, being anti-intellectual, all of that was praised back in the day. More than twelve years into the marriage, it\u2019s wearing thin. They expected Kate and William to bring more sophistication and pizzazz to the Wales titles, but instead, they\u2019re the same old, dull, unimaginative, childish, lazy a–holes. <\/p>\n
