I don’t think Kate enjoyed the abuse she got til she settled in, but I think she loves being a mother of three children and the charities she engaged with mean something more to her now than they could have at the beginning. I also think that while she is fine to stand back and let PW do the talking and walking in front of her in public, she probably wears the trousers at home.
You would have to have a pretty steely backbone to take all the shite printed about you for years before marriage, getting dumped, coming back from it, getting married, more shite, before finally having just developed a hide like a rhino, the DM decide you’re fine actually and then you get some more shite in the form of horrible rumours when you’re pregnant and have two children.
She’s an even better actress than Meghan.
Camilla is the one who could have said “no thanks” the most. I don’t think she was dying to be married to Prince Charles. She thought she was going to get egged on her wedding day. Thick skin essential in Royal Brides!
I thought the tide was turning on their Africa trip. They didn’t put a foot wrong. Re wears, no showing off, sharing glimpses of Archie, no £10k dresses, turning up to all engagements, not asking to leave them blah blah. The DM coverage was very positive (let’s face it, no one else is so rude about them). Then they just imploded it. Unbelievable.
