To think Kate Middleton isn’t actually self isolating...

Not one to start rumours... but I think she isn’t self isolating.

I think she was just pretending to so that she doesn’t need to watch another boring football match .

I’m sure she wouldn’t be the first to say she has been pinged to get out of an event.

Perfectlystill · 08/07/2021 08:23

Are you suggesting that because she's a girl she isn't interested in football?

She looked pretty into it at the last game! And her family are sports mad.

I was thinking that the only good thing about being royal is that you get to go to Wembley and watch exciting football matches.

Wouldn't blame her if she did she looked bored af at that match. In all seriousness though didn't she get pinged at Wimbledon.

x2boys · 08/07/2021 08:23

Only it wasn't boring and maybe she likes football lots of people do.

Another spiteful thread about Kate. She isn’t Kate Middleton now either. You are over ten years out of date.

GreenCrayon · 08/07/2021 08:27

Why the need for yet another thread baout her? I'm sure like many millions of women she actually quite enjoyed watching the football, you don't need a penis to enjoy it Hmm. Also her name is not Kate Middleton she's been married and using her married name for 10 years now.

Shirleyphallus · 08/07/2021 08:32

Really thought this would be a suggestion that she’s pregnant again

LolaSmiles · 08/07/2021 08:33

Shirleyphallus
I thought the same. That's been said on several threads in the last day or two.

DarceyDashwood · 08/07/2021 08:38

I’m sure if she didn’t want to self isolate she could do one of the testing trials going on at the moment! We were offered the chance from Test and Trace so am sure if she actually wanted to do it she could!

coodawoodashooda · 08/07/2021 08:41

I wondered that too.

@Shirleyphallus I hadn’t even thought of that! I don’t think she would go to that length to go out of football.

Hahaha! Ed Sheeran is isolating too so I'd assumed there'd been a positive case at the football as they were all in close proximity but then Wills and Beckham were there last night so perhaps not!

@BirdsandBeesmakinghay I’m not being spiteful. I actually quite like her (well, her public image, I don’t know her in real life or anything)

I think it was supposed to be a bit light hearted?! And maybe a bit of empathy from someone who wouldn't enjoy another football match?

SprayedWithDettol · 08/07/2021 08:46

Whilst I don’t think you are right, OP, I would have done just that if I was her. Football isn’t my thing, at all.

iamtopazmortmain · 08/07/2021 08:49

She loves her tennis though - I don't think she will be happy having to miss Wimbledon.

IMNOTSHOUTING · 08/07/2021 08:57

lol I wouldn't blame her OP! Can't imagine anything worse than having to watch a football match while being constantly filmed. If I were her I'd definitely be self isolating at home with a curry and netflix!

KopparbergCazza · 08/07/2021 08:58

Notice how no one posts anything about William never going to Wimbledon?

Because tennis is boring AF Wink
AllThatFancyPaintsAsFair · 08/07/2021 09:00

Why would she need to make anything up to not go to a football match? It's not like it's a compulsory aspect of the job, I don't think anyone would have been bothered if she wasn't there would they?

ineedaholidaynow · 08/07/2021 09:05

I wonder how many people would have believed her if she had been at the football last night and said she was doing the daily test trial instead of isolating.

Doggitydog · 08/07/2021 09:05

Maybe you should have popped “lighthearted” in the title. You’ve riled them up good and proper.
Imagine footy isn’t your thing (yes it is possible not to love the glorious game) and you had to sit through it being watched and filmed and judged. No thank you.

RickiTarr · 08/07/2021 09:06

Your sexism is showing.

EvilPea · 08/07/2021 09:07

Given her clear love of sport and wimbledon I think your barking up the wrong tree with this one

I think we can work out it’s supposed to be funny but it’s like popping back 30 years in time to listen to a “Women drivers eh?” attempt at humour.
