IN my view, the headline “Legs Before Wicket”, in regard to the Duchess of Cambridge was quite justified and did not warrant criticism.

The female member of staff who thought it was sexist and patronising (Echo, Apr 21) must have a chip on her shoulder.

PERHAPS you should point out to the female member of your newsroom who objected to the headline “Legs Before Wicket” that the Duchess of Cambridge had chosen to wear the rather short, close-fitting skirt.

Very attractive it was too.

I’m sure Kate was aware that the image would be sent around the world within minutes of it being clicked.

Isn’t that what makes the world go round?
