I honestly can't contain my utter indifference about this, except to think that the NoW must be desperately short of news if they have to manufacture it. If anyone is daft enough to pay good money for access to what looks like one of the most nondescript people in the kingdom, she's welcome to part them from it; it strikes me as a victimless crime, or at least a crime with a victim quite undeserving of sympathy.
