Mrs. Mantel believes that Kate is " becoming a jointed doll on which certain rags are hung".
That she has the "perfect plastic smile".
Of Kate's official portrait, which was unveiled last month, Mrs Mantel said "her eyes are dead and she wears the strained smile of a woman who really wants to tell the painter to b***** off".
