Just watched her speech on itv news . She looks exhausted and not at all like her normal glamorous self ? I hope she is ok ?? We all have bad days I guess.

I think she looks fab - as she always does. I also think that people who comment on looks negatively, in my experience, should be the very last people to comment. It's always come across as jealousy, especially when couple with 'fake concern' as to health :)

She wants born into it, she chose it. No sympathy from me.

MsJamieFraser · 18/01/2017 07:58

She was born into having every single aspect of her live criticised Hmm

So what if she was born into a family of money, my family is multi millionaires, son because I was born into a wealthy family I should have every single part of me torn to shreds Sad

She wasn't born into it.

PollyPerky · 18/01/2017 08:45

I didn't see her on TV but I did see photos in the DM and thought she looked fine. Personally, I think she'd look better with half a stone of weight on her bones. She is very very thin compared to when she was a t uni. If she's 'trying' to be thin as she's in the public eye, someone should have a word.

I don't get the 'envy' of her life. I'd rather scrub my own floors and have privacy than know my life was scrutinised in every way, that everyone was looking at my clothes everytime I went out, and that i t was only going to get worse one day when I'm queen.

She's never going to be queen. You need the special superior blood for that. She'll be the wife of the King.

ricepolo · 18/01/2017 08:59

That's true toolong but, as Mantel said (and was vilified for it by the tabloids who were clearly too dumb to understand her arguments), she is nothing more than her appearance. Do we ever hear about her except with an explanation of what's she's wearing? She has been reduced to very little other than her body, as happens with almost all Royal women: they're vessels to look pretty and bear children. And, to be honest, until now she seems to have been very happy to assume that role: let's hope this new position of hers changes that.

ricepolo · 18/01/2017 08:59

No idea what happened there with the italics!!

HappyFlappy · 18/01/2017 16:58

No wonder William is grumpy. His DM had this shite all her married life and it ended up in her death in her thirties.

That's because his father was sh*gging an ex-GF and had just married her to be a brood mare - once he had his "heir and spare" he wasn't bothered.

Manumission · 18/01/2017 17:02

Sorry Happy?

Princess Diana suffered intense attention then died because her husband was unfaithful? Confused

PotatoWaffleCob · 18/01/2017 17:08

YABU to call her Kate Middleton.

LALALALALAND · 18/01/2017 17:16

YABU to call her Kate Middleton

I believe that is legally her name. The royal family don't have a surname (they use windsor, wales and cambridge)

So in the army William was Wales

So if anything she is Kate Wales.

Diana died because she wasn't wearing a seatbelt, she didn't put up with "this shite"her life, she actively encouraged the press when it suited her. William needs to lose the petulance, he can't have his cake and eat it, much as he'd like to.

Maybe she's got something on her mind...

WantToRunAgain · 18/01/2017 19:38

JamieFraser, in what way was she born into it?!? She was a total unknown until she became W's gf - it was her choice!

She wasn't born into it at all!

Blacksox · 18/01/2017 19:43

I think Diana died because she was in a speeding car driven by a drunk driver and she wasn't wearing a seatbelt.

And if we don't call her Kate Middleton, what are we supposed to call her? The Duchess of Cambridge? Yes, we'll tug our forelocks while we're at it. Hmm

MsJamieFraser · 18/01/2017 19:49

She wants born into it, she chose it. No sympathy from me

I was quoting you WantToRunAgain

However can now see you mean't wasn't born into it. This morning I read it as she was Hmm

squoosh · 18/01/2017 19:49

I know someone who refers to her as 'Catherine' 'Duchess of Cambridge'. Cringesome.

I'm sure m'lady isn't offended by us plebs referring to her as Kate Middleton.

Reality16 · 18/01/2017 19:50

The royal family don't have a surname

Mountbatten-Windsor

LiviaDrusillaAugusta · 18/01/2017 19:51

Btw I think she got married to some bloke and changed her name to the Duchess of Cambridge - she doesn't use Middleton now, I'm not sure why people struggle to get their heads round that Grin

LiviaDrusillaAugusta · 18/01/2017 19:52

X post with others

Why call her Kate Middleton when that isn't her name? Confused

squoosh · 18/01/2017 19:58

For the same reason I call Victoria Beckham Posh Spice. I just do, the names have stuck.

LiviaDrusillaAugusta · 18/01/2017 19:58

Otherwise known as a queen....
