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?

I agree with everything in the opening post except for her being lucky. She reminds me of the late queen. She’s faultless, really, because she’ll never express an opinion, and everyone will think they know her intimately, but no one, no one, really will. So she’ll be beloved.

Your views on the role of women are anachronistic (i.e. they belong to a different era). I’m struggling to believe your comment is sincere OP.

Hi Kate? Kids ok? 😂

Honestly I think she’s far too thin.

I'm not sure whether marrying someone "of status" is to be admired, any more than being born into that family is.

I suppose it's an easy life, in most ways, but I find the whole thing pretty pointless.

I admire people who are where they are because of intelligence or sone sort of genius - she's neither.🤔

Meghan every time - waity Katie is the epitome of dull and duller.

Her role though isn’t that taxing really. Turn up, look good, maybe a few words to others, look the right mood for the occasion

It gets billed to be a lot more for some reason. Maybe it’s because she doesn’t say much so becomes a blank canvas

Her looks and being unruffled seem to be the main reason people like her so much

Must we body shame others?

I don't get the impression she has much of an opinion on anything.
She is very bright and educated , but I bet trying to have a political debate with her would be hard going! She's probably happiest talking babies and fashion and her charity work and her family rather than anything too controversial.
Meghan would be far more engaged about world events I think.
I'll never meet them , so I'll never know!

I hope kate has security because you sound like a bunny boiler.

Also she is simply Catherine 'Princess of Wales' married to Prince William 'Prince of Wales', this is simply a femininsation of her husbands standing in line to the throne she is NOT a princess herself and neither was Diana... to be a princess you have to be born of the monarch not married into the family.

I'd love her figure though. I've been out of shape too long myself , but then they have pools and gyms and space to jog etc
Without having to share !

Ahhhh I'd been waiting for today's Kate thread, today's topic "just how bright can the sunshine out her arse?" answer: "very". Maybe she should be progressed to saint??? The women is practically a god.

BUT.... my husband is way hotter, has hair and I don't have a mumsnet thread about me everyday or indeed 50,000 articles written about me because of the way i stood or looked. I also have a decent career I have been able to pursue as well as having 3 fab children slightly younger than kates. She never had a career, she married and reproduced and never worked again (shaking hands isnt a job). Despite her saintly credentials and the money (she can get her hands on, it isn't her money) and her ability to move to a bigger house by simply seeing what they've got in stock, she really isn't anything to aspire to or admire.

'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.'

Jesus Carol calm down 😂

Ref the eyes, Kate might be happier if she didn't loathe William, which she evidently does. Still, the divorce won't happen anytime soon and meanwhile he continues to play away with impunity. She seems to find it hard to watch Meghan and Harry happy together - what a contrast.

She’s very good looking, wealthy, has a good figure and wears lovely clothes

I've seen better looking women, she hasn't earned her wealth, she's far too thin, her clothes are ok but nothing special.

Lucky? Only in so much as she married into the RF (if that's what anyone would consider "luck"), admirable? Not really.

When pegging first appeared as a 'thing' I had to look it up and I'm pretty broad-minded. I prefer the old-fashioned wooden ones myself. The ones my mum had lasted for years and did a great job.

She's not a future "Queen Consort", she's a future Queen.

Camilla has a special title because of her status as a divorcee. Catherine will be called 'Queen' as the wife of the King.

AND you could draw little faces on them and dress them up like ladies.

I agree with the others- I am not a fan of the Royal family at all, but I think she does a good job.

I wouldn't swap lives with her- no.
It is easy to see all the glamourous bits, designer dresses, travel, fancy functions, but I can imagine there is a great deal of pressure, little privacy- a bit of a caged existence.

Blimey, that takes me back we did , didn't we? I had a whole family of pegs. Tempted to order some.

@Testina, you are right, she only looks half decent because she uses her wealth to pay for good teeth, good hair, a slim, toned body and good clothes. She'd be as ugly as f**k otherwise.

That her parents and siblings are tall, slim and attractive and sporty has nothing to do with it.

I think she is beautiful

Yeah ok Michelle Obama and JKR are self-made. They do seem to present more ‘grit’. They’re admirable in an inspirational and attainable way. They both have a rags to riches story that makes them admirable.

I think don't think William could have picked anyone better for the role. She plays her part to perfection. I like her, although I do find her a bit bland. We don't know her opinions on anything. I suppose vSophie has pretty well been the same, but has a more low key role, and she did slip up with the Fake Sheikh thing. Compare them to e.g. Meghan (more outspoken and less willing to toe the line) and Sarah Ferguson (ditto). They are much more interesting!

Well no, nobody has to do her role. It’s harder an essential service, is it? She’s not driving a bin lorry or carrying out surgery, or doing any of the other many essential things to keep society functioning. Lockdown really showed just how superfluous and unnecessary the windsors are, they ran for safety and weren’t missed.

Is this thread a wind up? What is the MN obsession with the Royal Family?
