I agree...
I definitely wouldn't blame her for needing a time-out.
Or maybe taking a bit of stance and stopping being "coachable".
Look at all the blue-blooded aristocrats who refused to marry William (despite him pursuing them) as they knew what would happen.
They wouldn't have any autonomy as they'd be expected to do what the public and Press and other members of the RF wanted.
The role is so weird and pressurised and obsolete.
Upper class people don't compare themselves to Sandra working at Tesco's, but each other.
Kate's peers are now just enjoying being private and rich and Sloaney and in control of their own families and schedules whilst their banker husband Hugo RichFace-Smyth brings the cash in.
If they want to go down Chelsea high street in an old Boden dress and Crocs and no bra no-one cares.
If they want a Mummy makeover or to take three months on a yacht swimming or send their kids first class to Monaco, it's their body and their family money, no-one cares.
Kate has to keep up with the egos and whims of all the Palace hangers-on and old retainers and agree to nasty stories going out about her mum and children "to keep the Press on side' and so Camilla's tabloid friends can keep happy.
The late Queen had an incredible work schedule, tolerated her husband's "lady companion", worked till the end, and didn't have much normal family time. She gave up the early married and family time she wanted.
But she was hereditary heir and a one-off.
If you don't need to have this shit in your life, it's really hard to justify keeping it. Or put your children through it.
It's only a few years till the Press starts coming for the children...
"Hi it's Piers Morgan..we've got an unflattering photo of Charlotte looking drunk and information on George's failed exam...which child do you want to throw under a bus?".
