Has anyone else ever found it THIS hilarious going down a slide?

I like the Duchess of Cambridge, she seems nice enough and is doing a good job of what she’s doing

But doesn’t it get a bit boring pretending everything is absolutely hilarious, as she does in all photos? That wide open grin must be knackering to have on all the time. Surely going down a slide isn’t this much fun?

Agree with others the daily mail is toxic.

BOOTS52 · 22/02/2022 21:17

There is nothing wrong with her but she has to act a certain way in the public and imagine how hard that is. Can you not see how thin she is and she was never like that. Would hate that life and she is watched and photographed all the time, would hate it.

Bit harsh op!

What an unpleasant thread OP.

Women just can't win can they? They smile too much / not enough / not at the right times

Teddybearen · 22/02/2022 21:23

Really it’s a shame when a woman laughing going down a slide is getting picked on.

ExhaustedMumma · 22/02/2022 21:26

I’m not remotely in favour of the royals or particularly interested in them, but I can’t help a little admiration for Kate. She always looks so capable when giving any sort of sport or activity a go she always looks stylish, and she so often looks like she’s enjoying herself or genuinely interested in things. Whether it’s all an act or not is irrelevant -
I’m impressed!

Oh do fuck off Megan

LOL

BringBackThinEyebrows · 22/02/2022 21:28

Must be something wrong with her but we never see it

This contrasts to your initial (nasty) post.
"boring"
"pretending everything is absolutely hilarious... in all photos"
"That wide open grin must be knackering"

CayrolBaaaskin · 22/02/2022 21:30

She’s doing a job abs doing it well. Leave her alone.

Tyrozet · 22/02/2022 21:30

For fuck sake. If she was walking around with a face like fizz she'd be in the wrong for that as well.

She's either genuinely having fun or is great at her job and putting a bit of an act on to please her audience- either way it's hardly something to be annoyed about.

megletthesecond · 22/02/2022 21:33

Proper whizzy slides are still fun as a grown up.

And you don't get to do them often if you're supervising little kids.

Howeverdoyouneedme · 22/02/2022 21:34

A better ride than William, I’d wager.

caranations · 22/02/2022 21:35

Meanwhile in other news, Russia invades Ukraine...

What a nasty thread OP

masha17 · 22/02/2022 21:39

I'd be more bothered if she came out that slide with a straight face.
Have you seen how fast it is in the video? Definitely no time to compose herself. Looks genuine laughter to me.

DearFrutti · 22/02/2022 21:40

I think that’s a lovely video and she seems to be genuinely having fun

LizBennet · 22/02/2022 21:44

I haven't been on a slide for years, I'd probably have the same reaction tbh.

lmao the 59.99 zara blazer in the headline

Moonface123 · 22/02/2022 21:51

Oh leave her be, l had a brilliant time coming down the wavy slide at Hunstanton, some people are just naturally happy, maybe give yourself permission to try it.

the80sweregreat · 22/02/2022 21:52

She is amazing , she had some smart moves with a rugby ball the other day , proper Harlem globetrotter style.
I'm not a royalist at all , but I like her and she seems a lot more genuine than many of the other royals seem to be.

Wineat5isfine · 22/02/2022 21:53

Goodness me, really??

It looked like she came down the slide quite fast / awkwardly and genuinely enjoyed it!

ZenNudist · 22/02/2022 21:54

Poor woman looks as thin as a rake.
