She looks great but I will caution anyone who thinks this look is obtainable to not be too hard on themselves if they cannot achieve it.

Having that kind of physique after three kids and in midlife is unusual. It may be the result of cleaning living and good genes (we all know Mom and sis are hot). However, it may also be the result of constant emphasis and a serious regime, along with help.

Who knows what works for her. And I am not being critical, just cautious. I am just old enough to vaguely recall all the comments about how naturally Diana came by her figure only for the world to find out later there was tremendous pressure on her and she responded in an unhealthy way.

Judging by how muscular her frame naturally is, I wouldn't be surprised if she had to really work at maintaining her current weight.

I totally agree. To be honest, the only women that I know in real life that are that small after kids tend to have terrible stomach issues and are literally not able to eat normally. She looks so healthy that I don’t think that’s her, but I hope she isn’t starving herself à la Victoria Beckham.

I think a lot is genetic: I'm the same weight, 55 kg and 1,70m, as I was at age 18 and after 4 kids. I'm now in my early 60s. I eat normally without stuffing myself and try to avoid junk food.Here in Italy there's a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables so it's not difficult to eat healthily. I'm also very lazy so I'm not a sporty person. All this to say that Kate can easily be that size without necessarily starving herself, plus she's super sporty so that helps aswell.

My problem lies in often having too much time on my hands so I graze all day. I'll assume she's just too busy with the kids and her royal responsibilities to do the same. ;)

I only had 2 children but I have the same body type as Kate. I didn't do anything to deserve this, just was born with this type of body. If I don't eat well though, I'm susceptible to putting on an extra 10 lbs, just like anyone else. So, I think she looks amazing because of her genetics + a seriously excellent regime that she likely sticks to like glue. Just a guess, but I can imagine that she finds that mental discipline by remembering how the press treated Sarah Ferguson when she put on weight. She also might be one of those people who doesn't find the need to eat for comfort. I tend to lose my appetite when stressed or super busy.

So true about your diet in Italy. Americans are obese because of our easy access to so much poor quality food. I've noticed on trips to Europe I didn't gain weight in spite of seemingly eating and drinking all day. It's due to walking a lot and eating good quality food.
