In a story published on Monday about the Duchess of Cambridge, The Daily Mail asked: “Why are Kate’s fingers all the SAME length?”
And the people responded, pointing out the newspaper’s own story included pictures that clearly showed her fingers weren’t the same length.
The heat from the two-page article even sparked a Twitter Moment:
Actually, if you examine Kate's fingers close up, they do look the same length. pic.twitter.com/8qVvjfnK14

“I’ve got an idea: we could do a thing about the size of Kate’s fingers being all the same size”.

“They aren’t, though”.
“Prove it”.
“I’ve done a box round them and they don’t touch the same line”.
“We shall publish anyway”. pic.twitter.com/cMMDfUs51V
They have LITERALLY put a box around Kate’s fingers highlighting that they are not the same length https://t.co/6l158nqIKG

“What pictures are you using?”

I just high-fived Kate Middleton and, honestly, I don’t think the length of her fingers is the big problem. pic.twitter.com/nqO8O9p3mT

To think I've been worrying about my own life all this time when I quite clearly could've been thinking about Kate's fingers instead.
