According to new reports, Princess Kate Middleton may have been a victim of Rupert Murdoch’s NOTW phone hacking scandal. Court documents reveal that the duchess was on a target list, prior to the birth of her very own royal baby, Prince George Alexander Louis.
USA Today was among a number of major news outlets to report that Kate Middleton’s name was on a “target list” of an admitted phone hacker. The publication informed readers:
“Glenn Mulcaire, a private investigator working for a London newspaper, who already has served time for illicit hacking into celebrity phones, had Catherine's name on a handwritten page of potential targets, titled "Target Evaluation," prosecutors told a London jury hearing evidence in the phone-hacking trial on Tuesday.”
It is unclear, however, if Mulcaire was capable of accessing her voicemail. The newspaper went on to reveal some of the other potential victims who made Glenn’s list:
“Other names on the list included Boris Johnson, now mayor of London; former England soccer team manager Sven-Goran Eriksson; and Angelina Jolie's stunt double Eunice Huthart, who may have been targeted as a source of information about the budding relationship between Jolie and Brad Pitt.”
Of course, Princess Kate isn’t just making news for being associated with the phone hacking scandal. Middleton, who is known for her style and dress, is also reportedly considering a makeover.
Emilia Jardine-Paterson, an interior designer who is Kate’s friend, will allegedly lead the makeover efforts. According to an insider who spoke to Grazia:
“Kate admires Emilia’s style. Emilia has become increasingly important to her and Kate always uses her as a sounding board. Kate is trying to move Kate away from the Middleton neutral palate and push her towards colour or pattern. Emilia loves vintage and tries to get Kate to be a bit more quirky.”
