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

[Lemonwoe]

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 .

@girlmom21

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!

I think Ed is in quarantine rather than self isolating because he went to America or something.

@Inastatus

And along come the professionally offended lot who love to put a sexist/political/religious twist on anything anyone says!

Oh gosh, you’re a one-poster bingo card, aren’t you? It’s like a trip to 1970s working man’s club.

“Lighten up, people”

“Professionally offended”

🙄

I'm not even a big football fan but I'd love to watch a big England match at Wembley

Anyway I'm sure she's an absolute pro at looking interested at things she's not interested in...It's literally her job!

God Mumsnet is full of humourless half wits today!

I'm not a humourless halfwit, not sure there was a need to resort to name calling, I just have a different opinion to you. Last time I checked that was still allowed?

Surprised at Kate really, not very patriotic to be missing the matches.

Even if she wasn’t a princess, she would be the cool, glamorous woman we vaguely know that we’d like to be friends with.
That’s an awfully high pedestal to put her on.

I wouldn’t be friends with her. Cool? Nope. Glamorous? Maybe but that doesn’t make someone friend material. From her media profile she seems reet boring to me, and like a posh mum I’d avoid at the school gates tbh.

I know several men who absolutely loathe football.

One of whom was (he's dead now) absolutely besotted with cricket and a member at Lords, something he viewed as his proudest 'achievement.

Another one was a pretty good snow boarder in his younger days.

Another one, always at the gym. I could go on.

Personally I can't stand it but not liking football isn't just a woman thing.

She has repeatedly “shown interest” in football @IMNOTSHOUTING - that’s what makes the thread so glaringly ridiculous.

Of course she isn't. This is all pathetic media propaganda. She was pictured with a mobile phone; the Royal family aren't even allowed to carry mobile phones. Same as when she was pictured getting the vaccine: there is no way she got the vaccine. Imagine what would have happened if she had died of a blood clot? The whole vaccine campaign would have collapsed.

This is just political theatre for the gullible masses, who think "well if it's good enough for Kate, it's good enough for me!" Same reason that all the World leaders seemed to be hospitalized with Covid in early 2020; scaremongering and fake news.

What?

The royal family may well have had their vaccinations in private before the publicity photographs of them cheerfully baring their arms towards an approaching needle, but the rest of this sounds an awful crock.

@RickiTarr She hasn't shown any personal interest in football beyond ticking the boxes that are expected of her. She obviously does love the tennis. In any case you know you're being daft. The suggestion that a woman isn't interested in football isn't sexist. Plenty of people of both genders can take it or leave it. It's a light hearted thread. It's quite possible she couldn't give a toss about the world cup. I don't care. Plenty of my friends don't care. It's not offensive.

@RickiTarr - 😂 if you say so. You’re obviously spoiling for a fight and determined to make this into something bigger than it is. I’ve got better things to be doing today so I’ll leave you to it. Enjoy hun!

Even if she wasn’t a princess, she would be the cool, glamorous woman we vaguely know that we’d like to be friends with.

I don't think so - not cool in the slightest, more dull? She's the posh Mum driving a 4x4 and probably doesn't have a single interesting story to tell except bemoaning about her problems with the Aga and a leaking wellington boot when she takes out the labrador. Not somone I'd want to be friends with.

Fucks sake

You’re not very good with posters having differing opinions to yours are you @Inastatus ?

If you think that football match was 'boring', there is really no hope...regardless of why Kate never attended.

@RickiTarr

On another note, nothing sexist about not liking football

Doh, OFC not.

Constructing “jokes” around the assumption that women - even sporty women who clearly enjoy watching football - don’t like football (but men do) is what’s sexist.

but it's a woman who happens to miss it! (and could have found ways around it frankly).

There's a context here.

and could have found ways around it frankly).

There would be a media firestorm if a royal was caught trying to circumvent COVID regs.

I think there's something amiss with them putting themselves in danger, there were two of our future kings, in these trials.
We aren't half given some shit from government.

don't be so naive!

Nobody needed to be told she had to "isolate" for a start.

what's wrong with finding football matches boring?

Don’t be silly @onlyhereforthecake. It’s more likely the opposite; Being seen to comply as positive PR. I was surprised she/they had the app in the first place.

I don't know what they are playing at, or care really, but nothing is done by accident.

Apart from the photos showing them breaking lockdown and various rules leaked to the press, and most of the photos in the foreign press that never make it in the national press here
