The Queen slaps Kate in the face, figuratively speaking (PHOTOS)

Kate Middleton appeared to be fully embraced as a member of the Royal family… Until she got delivered a slap in the face by the Queen, that is.

In an official revision to the Royal Household’s Order of Precedence, Kate, 30, is now required to curtsy to Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s two daughters—Princess Beatrice, 23, and Princess Eugenie, 22.

They have Royal blood pulsing through their veins, while Kate merely married in. Sure, William could have married a cousin, like so many royals before, but isn’t linking up with a new blood line kind of refreshing… and necessary?

The Queen should be thanking Kate—the odds are much better now that her grandkids won’t be born with two heads!

Even more insulting, when William’s with her, no curtsy is necessary at all — they’ll probably just snicker as they prance by. If Kate encounters Fergie’s girls without her husband by her side, she has to bow to them, whether in public or private. No doubt they’re finding every excuse to ‘run in’ to Kate.

How is Kate supposed to remember all of this? Is there a test? Does she stash a cheat sheet in her brassiere?

Speaking of women the Queen is jealous of…. Check out a sneak peak of Naomi Watts dressed at Princess Diana for upcoming film Caught In Flight, a movie about the final two years of Princess Diana’s life, in Croatia.

What do you think? Scary resemblance?
