Sack off the £3k bag, Kate

How sad that the Duchess of Cambridge felt she needed to wear costly designer dresses and use handbags worth a fortune on her recent trip to Scandinavia.

According to your report (Mirror, Feb 3), one Chanel handbag cost £3,762. She used to have much better taste and was respected for it.

Think again, Kate, when so many people are living in poverty. It doesn’t look good. P Broadhurst, West Lulworth, Dorset
