What did William do to her? A Berry Christmas

[christmasandcounting]

56 min 25 sec ... woah. That's a 'I fucking hate you, don't ever touch me again shrug' if ever I seen one!

Poor Catherine, she seems lovely 😢

It looked as if his hand had been on her arm for some time before the camera panned in and she just happened to move at that point.

I didn’t watch it. Like Mary Berry but Kate (aka Wisteria Sister) puts my teeth on edge. Sure she is a lovely lady though and is me.

Well I have just watched one minute and am blubbing with happiness...

I think it's just a shame I won't be watching The Crown reboot in 50 years time, my grandkids will have a cracking series.

To be fair. It looked as if Catherine thought it was inappropriate- hence the shrug. I can't believe you noticed it though. I had to keep on rewinding it.

My aunt Fanny's husbands cousin said she knows someone's niece's friend who is privy to the details of someone else's marriage and is gossiping and bitching all over t'internet about it but she has no proof or evidence and is gloating over something she's sure somebody else said.

I had to go on iPlayer as my curiousity got the better of me. Total non event.

@christmasandcounting WOW, some people love to make something out of nothing.

Christ on a bike!

They are a normal married couple, happy most of the time, but get pissed off with each other occasionally. Big fucking deal.

Outright awkward, she shrugs him off, then almost instantly remembers she’s on camera and Acts on to make a lovely end to it. Body language never lies

@christmasandcounting Sorry but you are being a bit ridiculous with this assertion. All I see (and I watched the prog) is a couple who love each other and are happy in each other's company. They are often affectionate with one or the other touching the other's arm, or giving each other a really big grin.

You are muck raking, my love. :)

Can’t help but think if this was Meghan ....

I think the reason she shrugged him off is because she is actually very shy. She hates being in the limelight and clearly wasn't comfortable with his display of affection in that setting, where they were supposed to be focused on the other people. He was being warm, she felt it inappropriate. I've done exactly the same with DH in public situations. I'm not a Duchess by the way.

Not all that glitters is Gold

Is there not enough marital problems in the world without making stuff up. Affair stories circle every famous couple - normally written by journalists that are known to be arseholes.

They very rarely show affection in public - maybe Kate doesn't like it - some women don't. Maybe she thought it wasn't the time or place.

Plus, you don't know the backstory. Maybe that morning they had a row about him not wiping the bog seat that escalated and she still hadn't forgiven him.

Perhaps their lurve is so intense still that his very touch turns her to jelly and she cannot contain her lust, so she dare not have him touch her in public.

DH and I were like that at one time.
I think it was August 1991 on holiday Butlins Bognor. After 11 vodkas.

Bit of a shame that they try to do something good for people and all that happens is they get their body language scrutinised and their marriage picked over.

I wouldn’t be Royal for anything. It must be so frustrating.

Nah. That was a "don't you fekkin touch me" jolt.🤣 Oh, to be a fly on the wall!

To be fair I was expecting this to be bullshit, but it does look like she deliberately shrugs him off and he knows it.

She thought it wasn't the time and place to be touchy feeling when they were supposed to be focusing on others, not each other.

It hasn't disappeared as someone up thread says, there are quite a few videos of the scene online.

Can’t help but think if this was Meghan ....

If it had been Meghan then the Mail would've dug and dug until they could find something unsavoury about Mary Berry's dressmaker or maybe Nadiya's husband's second cousin's wife and splashed it across their front pages weeks ago, just to discredit her.

What absolute bollocks. You are reading too much into a gesture (no doubt backed up by 'body language experts'), which most of us wouldn't even have noticed. You're being unkind, I'm sure you don't mean to be. On the other hand you could be making a joke at the expense of all the stupid people who enjoy intrigue and scandal mongering - I hope it is the latter.

Leave them alone! Unless we have evidence to the contrary, they are a contented family.

No if it was Meghan the headlines would have read she was "aggressively" denying any "PDA". snort

I can guarantee that if it was Meghan there would've been at least 3 threads on MN before the programme even aired, all about why she shouldn't be doing it and accusing her of making celebrities out of the royals!

Yep if it was Meghan the gutter would be clear as all the muck rakers would be out in full force scurrying and grabbing for a titbit of gossip they could bitch about at someone else's expense
