Ever just order a curry on a Friday night, or get shitfaced together and have wild sex? Do they clean their children's vomit or does the help do that? Do they ever just slob around the house all day like slobs? Do they ever shout at their children? Do they ever swear?

So many questions! I just can't picture them being normal people.

They've said in the past they like to have a curry from the takeaway at the weekend but that (understandably) someone else orders and collects for them.

ruportmurdoch · 18/11/2020 14:47

@TwoLeftSocksWithHoles another great question to add to the list!

ChickOnAStick · 18/11/2020 14:47

Well, wild sex seems unlikely lol. After his affair, I don't think there is much love left between them. Marriage of convenience definitely. Can you imagine the scandal and uproar a divorce would cause? Someone is forbidding it I presume.

maddy68 · 18/11/2020 14:47

I think yes as they met at uni

GarlicSoup · 18/11/2020 14:48

@Laiste

No takeaways. (chef) They might have a few drinks together but she doesn't get properly pissed very often these days. Yes, clearing up sick. Slob round the house all day - no. Shout at the children - very rarely. Swear - sometimes, but not at the kids.
And you know this how?
PrincessNutNut · 18/11/2020 14:49

Can you imagine the scandal and uproar a divorce would cause?

Why yes, I can, since it happened with his parents (and his aunt, and his uncle) and people dealt with it.

480Widdio · 18/11/2020 14:50

What a vile,nasty,pointless thread.I have only read the OP’s post.Shame on you.

combatbarbie · 18/11/2020 14:51

I reckon they do although I suspect its a bodyguard ordering from just eat rather than themselves for the poison threat.

From what I've read, Kate in particular is very hands on with cooking for the children, getting up in the night. PW has mentioned rough nights with teething on his engagements.

I heard about the OW allegations, could be history repeating itself but I don't think Kate is the type to just sit back and roll over like a good girl.

mrscampbellblackagain · 18/11/2020 14:57

I find Kate intriguing, I mean so many on here know for sure her husband had an affair and yet she invites the other woman to her birthday weekend celebrations earlier this year. She clearly hasn't been reading the relationships board as pretty sure that's not standard advice when you know your DH has been playing away Wink

Honestly, who knows what they get up to in private. They probably have some great times and some rubbish times like everyone.

I would like to know if Kate watches the crown in secret though.

Haffdonga · 18/11/2020 14:57

William was filmed eating a takeaway curry at Kensington Palace with the footballers he's doing the mental health awareness thing with. I seem to remember it was said to be from 'his favourite local curry house'.

I'm sure the butler ordered it and it was all done for the cameras but I think they probably do eat takeaway instead of roast swan on occasion.

She is very good looking and athletic so regarding the sex, why not? I'm not sure about getting shit faced, they look like the type of people that have a healthy lifestyle.

Whatthebloodyell · 18/11/2020 14:57

You sound a bit like a school child, astonished to see their teacher shopping in Sainsbury’s because you never really imagined them existing outside of school. We just see Kate and William ‘at work’, but I’m sure when they are not working they behave like normal people.

mrscampbellblackagain · 18/11/2020 14:58

I reckon Camilla would be the one to have some drinks with rather than Kate.

LauraBassi · 18/11/2020 14:59

@Dontforgetyourbrolly

It does make me laugh when privileged/ rich and famous people say they are never getting a nanny and are going to do all the night feeds themselves haha why not ?! 4 months in with a non sleeping baby I would have let Satan himself do the night shift with ds!
Years ago I posted about dd not sleeping and I was ruined. I actually got posts telling me I should hire a night nanny 😂😂

The fucking dream!!

I would imagine things are quite stilted behind closed doors after him allegedly messing about with one of her mates.

Think you may have been reading too much into gossip rags.

Unless Kate is the best actress I've ever seen.

Feedingthebirds1 · 18/11/2020 15:02

Also why should they be protected from scrutiny because they're royal?
Because so much of it is speculation, attributed to unnamed 'friends of' or unnamed people 'close to the Royal family'

On a similar note, I wish I had a pound for every Grazia cover story (thanks again to unnamed sources) that the Beckhams are splitting up, because she's miserable, she doesn't like where they live, he's had a string of affairs. The last time I actually bought Grazia was about 15 years ago, they were saying it then and they're still saying it. Yet oddly, the Beckhams are still together and post some very happy looking family photos, and he sends he lovely messages on Twitter.

(And I'm sure somebody is going to come on and say it's all for show, for the money and fame, the marriage is an empty shell. But until there is proof positive I prefer the evidence that, y'know, they're still married.)

SchadenfreudePersonified · 18/11/2020 15:04

Do they ever swear?
- Yes, William has definitely been caught on camera swearing. Not sure about Kate.

I'll bet they both off and blind like dockers.

All the posh people I have met, do.

CleverCatty · 18/11/2020 15:05

With Kate - it's always been assumed that she's 'Waity Katie' - had her own life but ultimately was quite willing to follow after PW like a long lost puppy. No idea as to the truth of it but she doesn't seem like her own woman to me. Pippa seems very similar re men - one after the other not great prospects apart from money etc and they both don't seem to have much in the way of careers.

I know of certain girls I went to private school with of a similar age and some were encouraged to 'marry well'. and not bother too much about a career.

CovidStoleTheRainbow · 18/11/2020 15:05

How is it possibly a 'vile thread' by just asking if they slob out or ordering a curry? Hmm

OP I've had the same thoughts! It's difficult to imagine.

But I do think that if a 2 year old is up in the night, surely Kate would want to see to them.
I can't imagine her being told in the morning that their child was up ill while she slept?

I could imagine them asking for help if the kid spewed but it equally wouldn't shock me if one of them cupped their hands to catch it, save the rug, before the help came running! Grin

nothing wrong with swearing, wild sex etc if they want to.

still a bit cringe about Prince Charles blethering on about wanting to be Camilla's tampax?! ewwww

It depends if Kate is one of the old school upper class who literally did hand kids to nanny and barely looked after them or whether she's more hands off? Who knows?
ViciousJackdaw · 18/11/2020 15:07

@GolfMad54

They are just people. They shit, they fart and they have their heart broken.
The Duchess of Cambridge does NOT shit. She may occasionally pass ordure but when she does, you may be assured that it is perfectly formed and odour-free.

The Duke, on the other hand, spends at least 40 minutes on the Royal throne twice a day.

PicsInRed · 18/11/2020 15:07

😂 I bet there's a palace curry recipe for swan.

PrincessNutNut · 18/11/2020 15:08

No idea as to the truth of it but she doesn't seem like her own woman to me.

Hard to do that as a senior royal under any circumstances, I think. I mean, there will be degrees of it, obviously, but ultimately the job has to come first. And if the job means looking immaculate and slim all the time, always smiling and being charming, never complaining, never being seen to be cross and never responding to the press even when they're posting half naked pictures of you that they took with a mile-long lens or tearing your marriage and character apart with no evidence....she's very good at it. I definitely couldn't do it.

AdoptedBumpkin · 18/11/2020 15:08

Not entirely normal, but not another species either.
