It's a strange question, is not it? However, this is not a joke, but a very real headline for two major British tabloids - The Daily Mail and The Sun. Last week, secular chroniclers drew attention to one of the photos of the Duchess of Cambridge, made during her visit to Oxford.
In the photo, Kate holds a clutch in her hands, and her index, middle and ring finger visually look the same in length. Do you think this photo could be the reason for a journalistic investigation? Completely!
Chronicle of events
The newspapers were filled with headlines in the style of "Why are all the fingers of Kate Middleton the same length?". For the first time about the strange form of fingers of the wife of Prince William wrote in The Sun on March 7. The publication provides information that the length of the fingers on the hands directly depends on the hormonal background of the baby in the womb of the mother. Further, the journalist argues (with reference to the Norwegian University of Science and Technology and the medical journal "Evolution and Human Behavior") that individuals with equal in length to the middle and index finger can boast excellent memory, but they are anxious about anxiety and propensity for depression.

Five days later the journalists from The Daily Mail received a baton from their colleagues. They illustrated their material with a photo of Catherine's fingers imprisoned in a red box. The photo shows that the fingers of the duchess are not of the same length, but, nevertheless, the material has turned out.

The answer to the existential question related to the shape of Kate Middleton's fingers was sought by the whole world: the author of the publication collected comments from chiromantists, doctors, biologists. Editors did not expect the readers to react violently to this material, but the ironic British immediately picked up a ridiculous question, put in a headline, and made of it a funny Internet meme.
What do the British newspapers write about? About Kate Middleton's fingers!
Scandalous headlines have inspired network humorists to create funny memes. Twitter instantly appeared posts in which the main characters who inquired about the length of the fingers of the duchess were Prince William, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, a monster from the "Labyrinth of the Faun" with eyes on the palms and humanoids of alien origin.
Readers of the secular chronicles took the materials about Kate, as a symbol of what little things are often written by British publications.

When the British read news about members of the royal family, their attention is often focused on insignificant details. This time the chroniclers, perhaps, have bent the stick. They just had to tell in a nutshell about the duchess's attire, who attended the school in Oxford and the course of the event itself, then would not the edgy readers have turned the title "Why does Kate Middleton have all the fingers of the same length?" In meme.
