Kate Middleton's 'Marilyn' moment causes a stir in India

One of India's top newspapers faced a social media backlash on Tuesday after it splashed a picture across its front page of Britain's Princess Kate suffering a "Marilyn moment" as her dress blew up in the wind.

Readers accused the Times of India of being disrespectful to the Duchess, who was wearing a white 1950s-style dress reminiscent of the one in the iconic Marilyn Monroe photo as she laid a wreath at the India Gate war memorial with her husband, Prince William.

'Times of India' was one of the top trending topics on Twitter on Tuesday morning as users questioned the paper's judgement in picturing the Duchess inadvertently flashing an expanse of royal thigh.
