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?

She's getting all the fun in while she can. Queens don't go down slides.

You travel down those chutes much faster than a normal style playground slide. I know because DS got stuck on a 40ft climbing frame and the easiest way of getting back down was going down the chute. I flew out like a wrecking ball ConfusedGrin. Nothing like the Duchess of C's landing!

If she had got off the slide and said “well that was shit” no doubt you would have been a fan for life.

I’d go as far to say she’s done a sterling job; I once flew out of a slide, adult body mass travels at faster velocity than a child’s! My exit wasn’t as civilised and I’m sure my face looked very unimpressed and unimpressive.

Thank god she isn't a miserable faced mare

She's enjoying herself! Leave her alone.

Erm. I got stuck on the kids slide at work when I decided to have a go in the middle of the night (I'm a proper grown up, honest). It's quite similar to that one at lego land. (learning point if you have a fat arse like me you won't fit down..)

When I finally extricated myself and slid down I pissed myself laughing at the bottom and the only person who witnessed the whole thing was my registrar not the assembled press pack which would have been MUCH more embarrassing.

If's her job to look fascinated, happy and delighted at whatever public event she is attending. It's a role she took on when she married Prince William-and considering she changed courses at St Andrews to be on the same course as him (allegedly), was perhaps one she had her eye on.

Yes, sometimes the happiness is fake. But so is it for your barista in Starbucks who greets you with a cheery hello, the person playing Snow White at Disneyland, the compere at your show at your all inclusive resort, Ant and Dec. But they work much longer hours, could get sacked (yes I know Andrew sort of has been) and don't get castles.

Well aren't you a ray of sunshine?

Looks very genuine to me, and most adults would have that reaction tbh.

Women just can’t do anything right. Too smiley. Not smily enough. Jeez.
