This ‘we pay their wages’ narrative is so off and is making randoms sound so entitled to know this family’s personal business.
As tax payers, you also pay the salaries of teachers, nurses, etc. So next time one of your dc’s female teachers is off for any personal reason or sick leave, DO demand they send authentic photo evidence and tell you the truth about what’s wrong with them. You’d also want to know how they plan to recover and when exactly they will be back at work. If you spot them in a car during this time, you must take a picture, particularly if they’re looking poorly. They owe you- a possible UK tax-payer, but definite random of the internet- those details don’t they? 🙄

Imagine the absolute pasting that Meghan would get if she did something like this.

The press are renowned for misleading the public especially if it fills their coffers.

Yes how odd that some posters are holding the media up as some kind of bastion of truth and morality Grin

Hillary Mantel was right. A royal bride is dehumanised, I can’t remember the line - something about being a jointed doll on which clothes are hung.

Isnt it proof that the Sussexes are not the only ones subject to a public 'pasting' despite their constant poor us interviews?

Or are you suggesting that Kate is getting an easy ride here??

Kate could have smiled and waved, as she normally would. She choose not to. Turning her face away. She has been forced into that car journey. I feel very sad looking at the image.

Quit with your faux concern, you don’t give a shit about her welfare, she is not your performing monkey no matter how much you demand it.

FMLWTF Hilary Mantel's article was so perceptive, and she got such shit thrown at her for it.

She’s definitely getting an easier ride than Meghan would

Fucking hell, sorry. I can't work the new quote mechanism.

This! We pay their wages so we demand private medical info and smiles and poses in a very particular way.

And I remember how it was horrible how then a lot of people started turning on Hilary Mantel....look at Hilary, she's just jealous of the pretty young bride.

Even David Cameron got in on "publicly protecting the princess".

The trouble with this kind of behaviour is as SOON as the woman stops conforming to the "slim, young, pretty, white" archetype who needs protecting from savage Others (or someone prettier than her pops along) she's then turned on and discarded.

This is history repeating itself and that is what I can see.

No it’s what you desperately want to see, for some weird reason you want Kate to be living in misery.
