Kate Middleton has come under criticism for her slim frame before, with US TV host Katie Couric the latest to slam her for being 'too thin'.
The presenter made the comments during an interview to promote her new chat show, Katie, in response to a question about who her dream guest would be.
She said: 'I think it would be really interesting to interview Kate Middleton because I think she has comported herself so well since she has been thrust into the limelight.'
So far, so nice. But she went on to add: 'Although, I think she needs to eat more because she's too thin.'

It's not the first time that the Duchess of Cambridge's weight has been called into question. Kate reportedly lost up to a stone and dropped from a dress size eight to a six in the lead-up to her marriage to Prince William last year in order to look her best on her wedding day. According to reports, she stuck to the strict Dukan Diet to slim down her already svelte figure.
