Happy to see Princess Kate doing so well, but...

[JustPassingThyme]

I'm really glad to see Kate doing so well, and I am glad she has finished chemo looking so healthy and happy. However my sister and I cannot stop laughing at the video Kensington Palace have just released.

We think the video has a striking resemblance to the Twilight films, only warm toned and shorter.

I was waiting for William to say something really cringy while giving Kate a piggy back ride.

Couldn’t he drive to the restaurant?

I guess he could drive there but it's still a bit of a security nightmare for him to be rocking up at any take-away.

I guess the point I was trying to make was that he was at pains to show how ‘normal’ he was by ordering a takeaway on a Friday night but when questioned he said that staff would collect for him - so just illustrates the privileged lives they lead

Well lots of people would Op to have their take-away delivered.

On one hand it's privileged but on the other its a bit of a gilded cage.
Not being able just to wander down the street and decide which takeaway you fancy.

He wasn’t saying he was having it delivered tho - he was saying a member of his staff was driving to pick it up for him

I get that but it's probably easier to send a member of staff to collect, than again have the security risk of random drivers coming into any of the Royal Palaces.

I bet the takeaway have no idea who they are actually providing food for either.

Not to mention thst when he has a takeaway curry he's just getting someone else other than the cook to cook for him. It's not a break from the daily grind of cooking every day. Just like when they ' cook meals for the family' and ' go to the supermarket ' they do it because they fancy a taste of ordinary life, as if our lives are like an entertaining break from their norm. Not because there's no one else to do it.

That's true they could easily have someone else cook dinner if they wanted them do.

I'd love to know how all these brown nosers would react if Harry and Meghan came out with a video like this. Talk about having a happy life so not understanding the hatred, yet this is the same people who call then out for everything.

And also say they are irrelevant yet bring them up in every conversation about any member of the Royal Family, and often in stories about other Black/ mixed heritage/American woman they don't like. Leave them the fuck alone and they will become irrelevant. Constantly talking about them at every opportunity, they won't be.

Agree. Every thread about any Royal always ends up as a 'let's go on and on about Harry & Meghan and how awful they are'... thread.
It's really boring and stops any meaningful discussion. Like a recent thread about Royal PR. It was interesting. Not now.
Shame.

What a horrible, horrible thing to say.

She referred to remaining cancer free.

Absolutely this!

That's just bollocks.

Sadly I agree with this.

I don't see any reason to compare her treatment to the treatment that other cancer sufferers receive. It's pointless. Her privilege is just a fact of life that can't be changed! It's irrelevant

Cancer is a leveller though. Any sufferer is faced with their own mortality, privileged or not. And William and Kate will face the same uncertainty about their future as any other couple in similar circumstances, and feel the same dread of it coming back. No amount of money changes that.

I like the idea of the video. I love the affection and intimacy of it, and I think the emotions are genuine, I do think it's been done in a bit of a cringey way.

Massive difference! William and Catherine aren't hawking the lives of their family for cold, hard, cash! They're also not setting out to seek the limelight.

That's not Kate's fault.

"illiam and Catherine aren't hawking the lives of their family for cold, hard, cash"

They aren't, because they don't need to - they never need to make any effort because it's all handed to them on a plate. They spend our money on jewels and art that we have no access to, and wanky self-indulgent short films about how perfect their lives are, and there's nothing we can do about it.

We most definitely would not have a "marginally better looking figurehead"! William is much more attractive than Harry!

That's such a pile of steaming crap!

You don't need to!!!

I thoroughly disagree that the ginger whinger is more "likeable" than his brother. The lying weasel is not likeable at all. And I say that as someone who did like him pre-Meghan.

He'd be back like a shot if he could have the top dog. Meghan would break the land speed record to be Queen!!

And I'm not so sure he's "having a wonderful life now" either...

Where did you achieve your qualification in child psychology then?

Plus you have only ever seen him in public - how can you tell ffs?
