Good to see the children of the rich and famous doing real jobs?

OK I know she shouldn't have done the below but I actually find it refreshing that the children of of the rich and famous do real jobs and don't take advantage of nepotism. So many of the children of celebrities seem to become models or singers (though you haven't heard their music) it beggars belief.

I am glad some celeb offspring aren't too posh to do important jobs that maybe involve tough clinical conditions.

Of course some of these kids parents came from nothing and worked hard. Were praised and now of course are vilified. God forbid they have money and connections. Is this why there is war on aspiration? Keep them poor and easy to manipulate? Got it.

Everybody applying to medicine does well in A levels and BMAT - this is a given. Med schools love 'the unusual' - your niece is unusual - half-foreign, lived abroad all her life, apart from A-levels, clearly bilingual, i.e. very very special. I, on the other hand, talk about normal British children, rejected in droves with the same A-level results and BMATs.

I do understand generational careers. I am sure that Adele's child has a much better chance of having a good singing voice than mine! One of my kids is very into computer technology, just like his dad, so will probably go into a career in IT. He won't be getting a leg up into an industry, but has had access at home to technology and someone good at it.

I definitely wouldn't want my kids to have access to untold riches. You see throughout history that generation 1 make the money, generation 2 grow it and generation 3 blow the lot. Will be interior see how the generation that went into model / influencer fair when their parents are no longer relevant and the fortune isn't being topped up.

Good for her in training to be a nurse, it’s a difficult course and a challenging but rewarding career to enter into. Lets face it, she ain’t doing it for the money is she, so her intentions must be coming from a good place.

She won’t be the first student nurse to post something ill-advised in social media, lets hope her university reprimand her to a fair and reasonable level and hopefully she can continue her studies having learnt an important lesson. It’s best to keep internet posts PG and never post about work as a nurse, keeps it simpler that way

When dd was young she used to watch something on CBBC presented by a group of young people, and I used to always wonder how one of them had got onto it as she had no presenting skills whatsoever, no charisma, and always looked really sulky and bored. It was some time later that I discovered she was Noel Gallagher's daughter.

Just here to say that, the art showcased on page 1 of this thread is absolutely shite. I hate that she has her work in a gallery when there are literally hundreds of thousands of kids who can produce something much better and far more creative, but because they don’t have famous parents, no one is interested.

The only time I’d be impressed with those pictures would be if you told me a horse painted them, or perhaps a chicken. I’d be pretty impressed then.

Amanda Holden’s daughter at LFW. Very pretty girl but it’s tough on models with no connections.
Some nepo baby models do have their own presence, but it is hard for a model starting from scratch now.
I saw Kate Garraway’s daughter on stage at the NTA’s this week - every right to be there, a lovely girl, but she was tugging at her dress and looked trapped. She is a beauty, but I hope she doesn’t follow this path.
But I’m sure someone will offer her something - as a young kid it’s hard to turn down the bright lights…

I heard that Peter Jones (Dragons Den) doesn't bankroll his kids as such but matches their salaries so yes they benefit from his wealth but not to the point that they don't need to work at all.

There are lots of 'half foreign' or even full foreign students in medicine. Nothing unusual or very very special at all about the above example .

I think you’ll find they don’t discriminate against private school, but try and acknowledge the more difficult circumstances that other non-private kids face. Give your head a wobble.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

It’s standard on quiz shows to do slightly easier questions for the celebs because a lot of them are a bit thick because it’s for charity. It must piss the very clever celebrities off a bit though.

Nothing she posted would be identifiable to patients, she's also not yet bound by the NMC so they won't do anything. Her university might but hopefully then they'd address the many many student HCP accounts that post similar rather than make an example of her due to who she is. I agree it's good she's doing something she obviously genuinely wants to do, obviously having a financial safety net is always beneficial and affords a different type of life; but nepo babies in the media etc are hideous.

@merrymaryquitecontrary my DS got a reduced offer for Medicine at Newcastle due to his ethnicity and that he went to a state school. He did feel terrible that he best friend was not eligible for the same -they grew up together -had all the same experiences etc and he would agree @EI12 has a point.

Well I read the article, we've all read similar on Mumsnet, stories from NHS staff, teachers etc. I think it's good to know and appreciate how tough some jobs can be.

This place is becoming more and more like tattle

What made me laugh is she claims throughout that nepotism hasn't benefited her at all - then goes on to say not only has she co-written songs for her mum's band, but performed them on stage with them.

One of the best-known bands from the 80s! Nope no nepotism to see here.

It does bother me that it seems almost impossible for a non-celeb kid/relative to break out in modelling or acting nowadays.

One of Gordon Ramsay's sons is a Royal Marine. A regular soldier not an officer. Roger Taylor of Queen has a son who is a GP

IMO Kate Garroway's daughter defo has that 'it' factor. Yes.

Apart from her, I haven't seen any recently that I think have that catwalk or high fashion look. Catwalk models don't have to be conventionally beautiful, but if not, they are usually striking, arresting or edgy. Well they used to be. A lot of the nepo high fashion models are just linearly pretty girls. Nothing unusual. Defo given a leg up in the industry.

If you look online there is a LOT of criticism, if not anger, from real fashionistas about all the averagely good looking nepo baby, high fashion models. Kendall Jenner particularly comes in for a lot of heat and I actually think she's gorgeous! But the trouncing she gets! Modelling is still perceived as that thing should be lightening striking on a rare beautiful talent.

The memebrs of Queen were very well educated themselves before they became famous.

Showbiz success opens doors and gives you a chance. Summer job at the BBC or maybe looking after your father's guitars on tour. Springsteen has indeed a son who is a firefighter and a daughters who is an Olympic equestrian.
If you father/mother is a Barrister then you will certainly get a pupillage at a Law firm if that's the career you seek.

Not only slebs it seems breed neopbabes

I don't know, now some of these children are getting older, you sometimes see them posting online about how they hated having everything about their life shared on "family vlogs"- I think a lot of them would love normal jobs, but it's got to be hard when your whole childhood was shared online. And they don't get the same protections as child actors etc.

I suspect they look around at the lovely house(s) they live in and the places they see/people they meet and think perhaps being a Surveyor or manager of Aldi is not for me. I will wait for the inheritance. Tamara Ecclestone anyone?

Truthfully, if you went into hospital and were in an undignified position, (you couldn't change your pad or use the toilet or you had psychosis and acted out of character) and you recognised her as your nurse, would you now be comfortable with her getting up close and intimate with you?

There's a reason this sort of thing is discouraged. It erodes patient confidence in the staff treating them. That they will have dignity. That they're not being found to be gross or that their confidentiality and potentially embarrassing situations will not be aired. If she were joe blogs the damage would be limited. Few people know who they are. But being as she is more high profile I feel the ramifications for patients she treats in terms of their confidence, may be more serious.

I certainly don't think she should lose her placement over it. But I do think it is more serious than it would be if someone else did it.

Hopefully she's mortified that it's now in the papers and learns her lesson.
