Amber Petty, Princess Mary's best friend in the entire world and don't you forget it, confessed in a recent column for the Adelaide Advertiser that she had gotten her New Years freak on with a wee slip of a lad, no older than 21 years of age.

Says the Daily Telegraph -

In a candid admission likely to have Crown Princess Mary of Denmark pouting in the palace, royal bridesmaid Amber Petty has revealed she recently indulged in some tonsil hockey with a 21-year-old.

In a funny and frank column in The Adelaide Advertiser,Petty, 37, questions the controversy around the "cougar" debate after announcing she kissed a bloke 16 years her junior on New Year's Eve.

Ho, ho indeed! We meant that in the chuckling way, not the "you dirty whore" sense.

Let's hear more from Amber Petty on the matter!

 

OK, I'll admit, the realisation of my new "friend's" age the following day when he very sweetly sent me a message on Facebook asking when he could see me again was enough to make me break into a sweat – and check the front door for the police.

Never before had I seen 1986 as a birth date of anyone that had come into my life under the "romantic interest" umbrella.

1986 was not the year for being born as far as everybody in my world is concerned. By that stage we were in our teens, decked out in fluorescent, oversized T-shirts and squeezing our bums into those fabulous tube skirts and singing Holiday into our hairbrushes.

Having been shocked recently by the date of birth of various new chums and associates after stalking them on Facebook, we can understand exactly where Ms Petty is coming from. However, not all readers of Petty's "piece" were pleased by it - or Amber Petty in general.

Says Kylie in the comments section -

What happened to journos? What happened to radio jocks with experience? Celebrity? How? From studying at university and radio school? I doubt it! I don't like the program and I don't like this column. It's alwasy ALL ABOUT HER! Go Lisa Fernandez Nova! I'll come back to SAFM when Amber is gone.

Steady on, sook pants - you don't NEED credentials if you're Princess Mary's Best Friend TM! It will be interesting to see if an article is one day written about Amber Petty which refrains from mentioning Denmark's finest. If it ever happens, we dare say Amber will, in a fiendishly clever move, change her name by deed poll to Amber Pettywhowasthebridesmaidatprincessmaryswedding to ensure that little nugget of information still gets across somehow.
