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 .

Feel quite sorry for the OP. I'm sure lots of people made lighthearted comments/throw away jokes/whatever term's appropriate about this.

As per RikiTarr

Don’t be silly @onlyhereforthecake. It’s more likely the opposite; Being seen to comply as positive PR.

That sums up the lame comment I made to DH.

It's not the sort of thing I'd start a thread on, but would have been mortified if I had and it went all serious.

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 You are over ten years out of date.

Oh give over and lighten up

Bloody hell - do you not understand a light hearted joke?? Stop taking everything so seriously and lighten up - you might just find life a bit more joyful.

Sorry PurpleRainDancer - I hadn't read your post when I made mine. We think alike

I don't think it was spiteful, I think it was just a lighthearted thread...

Well most likely of all there is no conspiracy whatsoever @LaMarschallin , but nobody seems to like that possibility.

Spiteful? I thought it was a joke! and not about Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge either! About the very boring football!

Horrible, vile, spiteful thread.

If this were about the Duchess of Sussex there would be screams of outrage and MNHQ would fall all over itself to delete it.

WTF?

It’s not funny but how is it spiteful? The humour is supposed to come from the generalisation about women. All women.

On a side note I would love to be able to self isolate at Amner Hall, preferably sans children and husband 😆 Although I take it she’s isolating at Kensington if she got pinged at Wimbledon?

Will she be out in time for the final?

Personally I think it’s more likely to be a publicity stunt to show “we are complying with the rules and setting an example”.

Even if she didn't like football, she wouldn't do this. Think about the number of engagements she has to go on as a part of the Royal Family. Think about the number of them she will WANT to do.

Being a royal is largely based around having to do things you don't want to do. She's well practiced at it, and always does it with a smile on her face.

Being at the game was just another engagement, though knowing what she's like with sports, I'd imagine she'd have actually been gutted to have missed it.

She's probably exhausted from all the hard work she does.

@Lemonwoe

I’m not a middle aged man lol. I’m a boring middle aged woman. But let’s not lie, many of us are fascinated with Kate Middleton. 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.

Um, why? So she could regale me with fascinating stories of getting her hair done and going to the gym? Aye, right.

@thecognoscenti

agreed. the lack of sympathy towards that poor woman is upsetting.

I like to think she's lounging around at home
doing bugger all for a few days.

Do you remember that photographer artist woman who uses to do faked long lens pictures of the royals as commentary or satire or something?

I’d love to see KM in a velour juicy couture tracksuit and big rollers, scouse 2002 style.

I actually wonder if she is isolating from William and the children too. Because if not than William shouldn't of gone to the match yday either.

But we all know fro the rich and privileged they dont think the rules apply to them

If she isn't showing any symptoms and/or has tested negative then there's no need for William and the children to isolate too.

@onlyhereforthecake

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

Now that I am interested in, can you link or is it something literally only printed on paper in those countries? Actually can you post a photo if that's the case please

@Dreamstate I don’t think her family have to isolate unless her test results came back positive or she’s showing symptoms

I don't keep magazine, only use them when I am flying or on a trip somewhere! I am sure you can google them.

It's not just scandal, even things like the English press famously in agreement for not posting photos of the children when foreign press put photos of them in the park, with their nanny, out and about.

Or Pippa doing a photo shoot with her buggy in exchange for being left alone, and a big song and dance about not breaking guidelines, when you see a lot more pics elsewhere.

I am sure any poster living away from the UK with more regular access to these will have a lot more details.

But we all know fro the rich and privileged they dont think the rules apply to them

An awful lot of the not "rich and privileged" think the rules don't apply to them too. Probably a similar proportion.

but in the case of the "rich and privileged" the rules REALLY don't apply to them...

Remember the locals of touristy destination during the "lockdown" complaining about the constant arrival and departure of holiday makers in their private or semi-private planes for example?

Rules, financial obligations, no one ever bother to pretend they are the same for everyone.

She might be pregnant too. I think she is lovely.
