Paper Monitor

15:37 UK time, Wednesday, 12 September 2012

A service highlighting the riches of the daily press.

And the front pages are "attractive other half"-tastic today - Andy Murray's girlfriend Kim Sears, looking delightful and fragrant while cuddling up to her US Open-winning beau, and the Duchess of Cambridge, looking delightful and fragrant while gazing/laughing raucously at orchids (aren't orchids just HILARIOUS?!) with Wills. Sigh.

The royal couple have kicked off their nine-day tour of south-east Asia by swinging by the Botanical Gardens in Singapore - proclaims the Daily Mail, cue lots of pretty pics of her, blossoming away.

The Duchess of Cambridge has enjoyed a warm welcome thus far - although the Mail's Catherine Ostler muses, ominously, ahead of the couple's trip to Sabeh's Danum Valley, in Borneo: Luckily, Ostler reassures us, said headhunters no longer target strangers "but, still, novices are advised not to walk out at night alone". Noted.

For now, all the princess has to worry about are critiques of her outfits - "a trifle dull" pronounces Nicole Mowbray of Kate's kimino-inspired gown. Also speculation about whether or not she is pregnant.

As the Daily Mail observes, at last night's state banquet, "intriguingly, given the constant speculation about the Duke and Duchess's plans to start a family", Kate twice made toasts by drinking from a water goblet instead of her wine glass. Royal-watchers have also noticed that "Kate is looking more fuller-faced", it adds.

Paper Monitor puts it down to a case of post-carb bloating. We all know how "blooming" that can make one look.
