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.

I've not seen any Royal headlines for a while! They mentioned on the news last week Charles has a bespoke clothing range out ( £250 for a jacket type thing) That's all I've seen in ages but then I tend to skip over most of it.

Kate plays her part well. Presumably signed some sort of non-divorce contract for 15 years or something. Biding her time I guess.

mrscampbellblackagain · 18/11/2020 18:13

I think if Kate wanted to divorce she could, pretty much every other member of the RF has Smile

Get shitfaced together and have wild sex? Probably less so since all the kids came along
Do they clean their children's vomit or does the help do that? The help
Do they ever just slob around the house all day like slobs? I'm sure they have days at home relaxing but maybe not in their Brand Name trackies with a can of Stella.
Do they ever shout at their children? I get the impression Kate doesn't need to raise her voice and William is the soft touch
Do they ever swear? Only bugger and shit.

the80sweregreat · 18/11/2020 18:17

Why do people think they are not happy?
I'm no fan , but they seem happy enough!

derxa · 18/11/2020 18:19

Do they ever swear? Only bugger and shit. That made me howl Grin but I'm easily amused.
The royal family probably swear like troopers. We know Prince Philip and Anne do.

PrincessNutNut · 18/11/2020 18:20

Well we certainly know Anne says, "Not bloody likely".

Because people want them to be miserable

Kate is not stupid, she knows that ex wives of Royalty don’t fare very well, she’s there for good.
EvilPea · 18/11/2020 20:40

Didn’t twatty blair put something about the queen making cheese on toast in her kitchenette?!

I would love to be a fly on the wall and just see how it all works, just the logistics of day to day life.

I know Diana used to go and get the boys McDonald’s herself.

EvilPea · 18/11/2020 20:42

Wasn’t there footage of Kate doing the crouch down quiet bollocking. She strikes me as being that type not a shouter

As for the affair hasn’t it come out as some bollocks fed from another “source”.

ColdNovemberNights · 18/11/2020 20:44

They are 11th cousins once removed Wink

ajandjjmum · 18/11/2020 20:48

@NoNarniaBecauseLipstick

Just to bring the discussion back to the Mumsnet essential basics:

Someone up thread said the Middletons were solidly upper middle class. You need to factor in Carole. She brings them down to middle-middle.

I was thinking that - Kate's GF was clearly an upper-class type of miner!

And your evidence for that is...? Not hearsay, not gossip, but hard evidence?

And fwiw, I don't like all the gossip about Meghan and Harry either, it's not one rule for one and another for another.

elizabethdraper · 18/11/2020 21:43

Listen to that Peter crouch podcast with Prince William, I found interestp. They got a curry delivered

ListeningQuietly · 18/11/2020 21:46

I've only met Kate a few times
but folks I know who see them both regularly know
that they are a very happily married
Saith Ken couple
who laugh at the gossip and get on with their own lives
including booze and takeout and screaming at kids and pilates

Dongdingdong · 18/11/2020 22:05

Even telling off her kids, Kate still manages to look poised and stunning!

Of course.

Eemamc · 18/11/2020 22:28

This reminded me of an interview of their’s from a few years ago
They talk about getting a takeaway curry and what they watch on tv

Leannethom85 · 18/11/2020 22:43

Sure they have said they order curries and watch box sets of programmes they both like.. Shes from a middle class family so they probably do slob about the house as he spent alot of time at her parents house because they were normal
And he's from the Royal family, they are supposedly renowned for swearing behind closed doors

As for their sex lives they have 3 kids, so must be partaking in the eld rumpy pumpy

TibetanTerrier · 19/11/2020 00:56

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'd have to. Not inviting her when she was such a close friend would have been tantamount to publicly confirming the affair.

TibetanTerrier · 19/11/2020 01:11

@JinglingHellsBells
If you believe the rumours, she took a lot of persuading to join the family as she;s very shy and wanted a normal life.

You're joking, right? She had always wanted to go to Edinburgh Uni and had a place there, but then totally out of the blue she cancelled her place at Edinburgh, decided to take a gap year and applied for a place at St Andrews to read History of Art the following year. It was, of course, purely coincidence that this was immediately after it was announced that William would be going to St Andrews to do History of Art the following year. The girl knew exactly what she wanted and went after it. It wasn't by accident that she walked down the runway in black underwear the night that William was there.

ImNotWhoYouThinkIam · 19/11/2020 01:22

@Glitterblue

I bet they do. My brother knew prince William at university and said he was very down to earth and a really lovely guy, and that he tried to be as "normal" as he was able to.
My friend went to school with Kate Middleton and said the same about her. Although at that moment in time she was 'normal' so maybe not really the same.
Floatyboat · 19/11/2020 01:54

Can someone say what search terms I might use to identify foreign media articles discussing Prince William's fidelity?

Rockmehardplace · 19/11/2020 02:26

Kate had an Ann summers party for her hen do.

She’s been papped a few times telling the kids off in public so I’m sure she does it indoors too!
