Bride-to-be Kate to eclipse Diana’s celebrity status

ROYAL bride-to-be Kate Middleton is set to overtake Princess Diana as the most talked-about woman in the world’s media, according to a study released yesterday by the Global Language Monitor.

With two weeks to go before she marries Prince William in Westminster Abbey on April 29, Kate Middleton is already posting Diana-type numbers in terms of news worthiness and celebrity status on top global media sites as well as the Internet and social media, the study said.

“Kate Middleton is set to eclipse Princess Di as the media star of the royal family,” said Paul JJ Payack, president of Texas-based Global Language Monitor.
