Again I picked up on two different types of articles, one which is about the royal family and the other is revolved more around popular culture. In our culture we are obsessed with the royal family, I mean it's what we are brought up to love as British people, it's part of our heritage. The media writes about the royal family a lot and likes to cause tension and create a talking point among people, this article is drama orientated and actually makes the royal family seem like they're in a cheap reality show. It focuses on Kate (who the nation adores) and slams her in the limelight against rumors that she's being pushed out by other royals! Which probably isn't the case, international readers will also be interested in this piece and I think the royal family has become more based around pop culture rather than historical figures.
The second article is a lot more sexist, which I find annoying. The phrase 'ample cleavage' his misogynistic and objectifies women, rather than the writer saying 'Amber Rose displays womanly curves' they decided to mention her breasts. This is an indication that the culture still sees women as objects and the media portrays them as things rather than beings.
