Carole Middleton went out of her way to marry off her daughters to society millionaires & royalty or mere coincidence??

[user1473882712]

Aibu to think that Carole Middleton went out of her way to marry off Kate & Pippa to royalty & society millionaires?? Wills & James Matthews are hardly oil paintings, would the girls look at them twice if they worked in Tesco? Reading about Pippa's wedding tonight & it seems the sisters were both quite the social climbers in Marlborough which was encouraged by their mother? I have friends in similar circles & it seems they are very hard to break into if you are not "old money/landed gentry types" so I think Carole achieved what she set out to do! Roll on Pippa's wedding, looking forward to seeing the dress!

I don't agree that the Middletons havn't put a foot wrong
-carole chewing gum at William's passing out cermony
-pippa at wild parties in Paris where a friend of hers pulls a toy gun at a journalist
-kate's topless pics & Marilyn Monroe moment (the queen has weights sewn into her own dresses for a reason, kate should take note)
-james has often been photographed pissed
-carole sneaking a bottle of wine into a tennis tournament in her handbag
not to mention uncle Gary's drugs & Maison de Bang Bang....

Someone's got a spreadsheet!

Spaghetti Errrr they are humans beings. Why should Kate sew weights into her hemline. She is a beautiful woman in her mid 30s. It is hardly scandalous to show her legs 😀

dowager yes i'm seriously asking that, and you still haven't give an equal comparison.
Math like we really can't change laws.

I do like the spectre of dodgy Uncle Gary (even the name, Gary!) in the background. He's the only fly in their Home and Gardens lifestyle. But I'm sure the Windsors can sympathise, they have dodgy Andrew to contend with...

Rather more than a bit of leg, Kate's bottom was on display.

I quite like watching YouTube videos of the aspinalls being reunited with their gorilla friends. Makes me a bit weepy.

De-rails thread completely.

Erm, the chewing gum thing was bullshit made up by the daily mail.

The rest of your slip ups are simply inexperience (Kate's dresses) or social drinking. Hardly crimes of the century.

Everyone's got an uncle Gary.

He sounds more harmless than most.

Dunno.

But I would hate my daughters to marry into royalty or this kind of publicity.

James pissed drunk & urinating in public (while being held up by Carole who was trying to shield him from the cameras) would be thought of as a crime Laurie

BrightonBelle on a related note have you ever seen the footage of the two guys being reunited with Christian the lion who used to live with them in their Chelsea flat? Makes me blub.

If that's the worst James ever did, the royals should consider themselves extremely lucky.

Prince Harry, Andrew, Philip could out do James with their eyes closed. The royals are far more boorish.

I am sorry all.

But you do really need to get a bit of a life here outside your own little bubbles.

Who cares about these people. Really, honestly. who cares.

I think when people describe putting a foot wrong, they're talking about moonlighting as a drug dealing lord or something. Not 'Kate showed a bit of leg on a windy day - she's going off the rails!' sort of thing.

Squoosh yes! I also spend too much time watching people coming back from the army to be reunited with their dogs.

I don't know why I don't have any pets.

Oh I love a good 'watch what happened when Buster the boxer dog was reunited with his tour of duty returning marine owner' 😅

You care enough to post here.

carole chewing gum at William's passing out ceremony! already addressed
-pippa at wild parties in Paris where a friend of hers pulls a toy gun at a journalist her friend, not her. She cannot be responsible for everyone else and I doubt even particularly like the woman
-kate's topless pics & Marilyn Monroe moment (the queen has weights sewn into her own dresses for a reason, kate should take note) topless photos taken with long lens camera as a gross invasion of privacy. Its just her pants, chill
-james has often been photographed pissed whereas the royals are all t total... He is entitled to a life. Sis married into the family, not him. Same for Pippa Altho I sense she wants it more
-carole sneaking a bottle of wine into a tennis tournament in her handbag well its probably nicer than what they provide
not to mention uncle Gary's drugs & Maison de Bang Bang.... hardly Kate's responsibility

Then feel free to toddle off to a post about world poverty or something else important

I've given a more than equal comparison savedbythebell, you're just rather hard of understanding.

I'm not Carole herself honestly but it was nicotine gum to help me her give up smoking [ciggie] [gwan gwan]
