Busenwunder und Reality TV-Star Katie Price wird künftig nicht mehr in die VIP-Zelte der großen Poloturniere in England eingeladen. Zwar hatte die £55 Millionen schwere Gattin des australischen Schmuse-Sängers Peter Andre Anfang des Jahres noch extra einen Polokurs absolviert, bleibt aber den Veranstaltern der Top-Events in England dennoch „to chavvy“ –”zu prollig”. Also kein Einlass für sie und ihren Mann zum Cartier International Day im Guards Polo Club, worüber sich Price „unglaublich enttäuscht“ zeigte…
29.07.2008: Nachtrag zum Thema aus Susie Rushton “Urban Notebook”:
“Katie’s too good for polo
Perhaps it was the herd of junior marketing executives in wraparound shades, roaming freely across Windsor’s Great Park. Or maybe it was the feast of sunburned cleavage picnicking on a grass verge next to the polo field. On third thoughts, was it the house music booming out from Chinawhite’s marquee that gave it away? Or even that Chinawhite, that notoriously taste-free nightclub, was there at all? Polo is not posh. And the Cartier International Polo Day is a particularly low-rent event.
Yet this week the organisers snobbily banned Katie Price from paying for tickets to attend the England vs Australia match, billed as the highlight of the polo season. The glamour model (and accomplished horsewoman) was deemed “too chavvy” to tread the turf in four-inch spike heels along with the other, ahem, ladies.
Well, last summer they even let me in – and it didn’t look anything like the genteel scene in Pretty Woman where Julia Roberts slips into a demure brown dress, stops talking like a tart and treads in the divots at half-time. Oh, hang on. That was set in America.
I’ve no idea what polo events in Argentina, home of the sport, are like but you can be sure they’re not saddled by “royal” patronage. The British tournament is a fiesta in honour of a family of freeloaders that sell their wedding photos to Hello! magazine. At Cartier, the Windsors sit in their regal hut opposite the main grandstand, from where Charles on Sunday got an excellent view of three streakers. Its sponsor is a watchmaker which is a supplier of baubles to arrivistes and sheikhs. You just don’t need them, Katie.”
