They didn't stand a chance! I know exactly how frumpy Beatrice and Eugenie feel when they're photographed next to statuesque Kate. I've been there too, says SARAH VINE

A recent photo shows Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, dressed to the nines in expensive designer outfits that don't quite add up, appearing to look daggers at the nape of Kate's swan-like neck as she glides effortlessly ahead, a symphony in simple nudes and pale yellow. 


Next to a woman as genetically blessed as Catherine, they don't stand a chance. From her own mother to Samantha Cameron, Sarah Vine knows how it feels to always be the frumpy one in photographs, the one whose arm is at an odd angle, whose grin is just that little bit too wide, whose leg is askew.
