Novelist Sarah Waters has claimed princess-in-waiting Kate Middleton will soon be considered an lesbian icon.

Waters, who wrote lesbian novel Tipping The Velvet, said at the Man Booker Best of Beryl prize: 'There is something quite earthy about her which, I think, lesbians will like.'

Waters also told the Daily Telegraph that Miss Middleton appeals to lesbians in the same way as Princess Diana did to gay men.

She also spoke of Miss Middleton's appeal at the Man Booker Best of Beryl saying: 'Of course, they will be drawn to her glamour, so I think she will do very well for all sorts of people.'

Buckingham Palace gay marriage rally

Gay rights campaigners have planned for a rally to take place outside Buckingham Palace on Monday 25th April to ask Kate and William for marriage equality support.

Activits at the rally will attempt to deliver a wedding card to the married couple to be.

Event organiser Mr Tatchell said:'We want equal marriage rights for all couples, regardless of sexual orientation. It is our hope that they might be the first royal couple to express support for marriage equality.'
