Kate Middleton has emerged as the incredible shrinking princess!

But get this: Her weight is plummeting because she’s refusing to eat! Why? To assert some control over her life and rebel against her overbearing Royal in-laws!

According to Life & Style, Kate “has been filling her days with persistent exercise and calorie-counting—often refusing to eat.” But what would drive the newly-minted princess to starve herself? “It’s a form of rebellion against the queen and other forces trying to take charge of her life,” claims the magazine.

According to a weight expert quoted in Life & Style, Kate appears to be 105 pounds, although other estimates put her weight closer to 95 pounds.

Asserting her independence aside, Kate is also under an increasing amount of stress—which can contribute to rapid weight loss. Among the key stressors in her life right now:

1. She’s being constantly critiqued by her grandmother-in-law, the Queen, who is keeping a close eye on Kate as she adjusts to Royal life.

2. Fears of Kate being kidnapped and targeted by terrorists have resurfaced, following her recent completion of a special abductee survival course.

3. She’s scared for her husband, Prince William’s life, since he’s required to engaged in dangerous rescues as part of his training with the Royal Air Force.

4. It seems like the entire planet is pressuring her to have a child, and produce an heir.

Still, a source says Kate is very pleased with her shriking body. “She dropped two dress sizes before the wedding and loved how it made her feel. She’s showing no signs of slowing down now, and the weigh is just falling of her.”
