Chloe Green, daughter of multi-millionaire Topshop boss Sir Philip Green has been accused by The Daily Mail of being out of touch with reality.

As evidence, The Mail points to a recent Elle magazine interview in which 21-year-old Ms Green attempts to defend her privileged lifestyle.
Talking ahead of the launch of her forthcoming shoe range, CJG – wonder how she got that gig? – she reveals that, contrary to popular opinion, she doesn’t insist on a private jet when she travels.
In fact, she is perfectly happy to fly BA, she adds. Though not, one suspects, at the back of the bus.
‘At no point in my life have I ever taken anything for granted,’ she told Elle. ‘I'm not saying to my dad, “Because we have a jet can I borrow it and fly down to France?”. If my dad says, “Would you like the plane?” then I'll say, “Sure, if you don't mind.” But if not, BA is fine.
Speaking of the Belgravia flat her father bought her, she says: ‘I spent a year or two finding something that I liked and then said to my dad, “I think this is a great flat, a great investment, whether I live there or not. Let's buy something”. That's how the conversation went, it wasn’t like I went, “please buy this for me”.’
The Mail also points out Ms Green has a housekeeper who comes in to hoover the flat three times a week, but the rest of the time she is ‘very independent’ and even fills up her own car.
The comments of Mail readers suggest they’re not convinced. ‘She looks like a horse,’ suggests one.
