To think Kate/Catherine, Princess of Wales, is one of the luckiest and most admirable women alive?!

[KohinoorDiamond]

She’s a Princess and future Queen Consort. She’s the wife of a Prince and future King. Mother to Princes and a Princess. Mother to a future King and the British royal family’s future bloodline.

She’s very good looking, wealthy, has a good figure and wears lovely clothes. She has mastered the art of ‘do not complain, do not explain’. So, she comes across very well (such as how she handled this yesterday: Princess of Wales challenged during royal visit to Northern Ireland).

Unlike a diamond, I can’t find any flaws in Catherine, Princess of Wales; she comes across as too perfect to fault! She has it all and more.

There’s a lot to admire because she seems to be the luckiest woman alive. What does everyone else think?

antelopevalley,
'Whether they get involved in financial scandals, get accused of being a rapist, have affairs, or lobby to change laws to protect their wealth is NONE OF OUR BUSINESS.',

I'm not sure which of those things you're accusing Catherine of.

Our role as human beings should just be ‘not to be a nasty bastard’ and yet so many fail that task on these threads and quite probably in life itself.

None of those things apply to Catherine.
But we are constantly told we should mind our own business when it comes to the Royals.

Are you actually part of this so called inner circle? If not you're just getting the same hearsay and gossip that the rest of us are.

But we are constantly told we should mind our own business when it comes to the Royals. By whom?

@Rubiesue ”she isn’t admirable. She’s admired”

Yes, I think that’s what I meant.

It’s not easy to be admired either (too many haters and too much bitterness in the world).

She achieves being admired by being neutral and without controversy. You know what you’re getting with her in the public eye; there’s a safety in her predictability.

I don't live in the UK. I can assure you we're only seeing the same vague innuendo as people in the UK.
Posters keep insisting there's more information available in European media, but can't provide any evidence of this when asked.

Rarely, have I seen an op type such bullshit.

I don’t think anyone is told to specifically mind their own business when it comes to the Royals.

More just a plea to stop chatting so much shite about whoever is the one not in favour that day/ hour/ minute.

Exactly. The spiteful comments, rumour spreading and silly analysing of photographs to make up all sorts of nonsense is really nasty behaviour.

Are you actually part of this so called inner circle? If not you're just getting the same hearsay and gossip that the rest of us are.

One doesn't need to be a Turnip Toff oneself to get credible info, it's sufficient to know one.

The info can be triangulated too, since it's not the best kept secret in the world.

Hark at you with your posh chatter! Are you Jilly Cooper's cousin twice removed?

I think there are plenty who could be accused of that on here.

derxa is but a teeny tiny minuscule little kettle compared to some of the raging great big walloping pots on these type threads.

derxa what on earth does Jilly cooper have to do with anything

My father was a Count, if you absolutely insist on knowing.

Who cares if Willie has shagged every neighbour within a 25-mile radius. The point of interest is when the mask slips, and the Windsors' devoted and adoring public realize that the real people are not a bit as the media pictures them, or in any way resemble the fantasy their supporters are invested in and for some reason want to believe.

The only possible benefit if Wiliam's cheated would be if Kate went rogue and did as much harm to the corrupt, self-serving institution she married into as her late mother-in-law did. Now that would be a spectacle worth watching. Unfortunately, it's not very likely. She seems nothing if not compliant, and in any event it's not all that unusual for people in those circles to have 'agreements'.

Whatever the individual members of that family do or don't get up to on the sly, questions surrounding the future of the UK constitution have been building for decades before Elizabeth's demise. Once the dust has settled on her reign and Charles III has been ensconced on the throne for a while, it will be interesting to see which direction discussions take. Because one thing's for sure: those questions are not going away.

don’t explain doesn’t cut it in contemporary society Why doesn’t it? Why does anyone owe strangers an explanation? She certainly has a lot of poise and looks very happy in some photos. Most admirable is pushing it, there are people who have overcome tremendous odds to make a contribution to society. She’s well suited to her role though and there are a lot of people on hear making up shit about things they know nothing about.

In other words you've just been listening to gossip.

But I also do not agree with piling on individuals who are only doing normal level of things wrong.
You want a pile-on? Go for some of the men like Andrew. He deserves it

How many threads about Andrew have you started versus how many threads about Kate have you started?

What's the point of dehumanising her?

I think she seems a nice person.

No Arbesque, on the first occasion that I had any conversation about the affair between William and Rose Hanbury it was when I was told something by someone who had as direct evidence as it's possible to have, short of being either William or Rose. You by contrast appear to only know about the affair from the internet.

@Tabbouleh what a nasty thing for her to say.
