She’s on public display in front of millions of people. It’s not the same as any other job in that sense. Every single fleeting expression, spot, grimace or sigh is visible.
By off day, I mean feeling unwell, tired or not wanting to go out. I also imagine she only cancels if she is really ill.

But you say that as if it’s something heroic, to turn up at an engagement when she might not want to, when it’s the reality for those of us who work for a living. And so what if every grimace is visible? I mean, at the end of the day, so bloody what? There may be a mumsnet thread on which people say she’s tired or haggard looking, she can avoid reading that if she wants. If I go to work and underperform, people will die. So I can’t afford to do that. I turn up and perform, day in, day out. Even if I’ve had a row or ‘just don’t want to go’.

I think plain/haggard is harsh but I don't think she is beautiful either, just pleasant looking, I wouldn't particularly notice her if I walked past her in the street except for how thin she is.

I think many women could look as good with her resources. It's not just about the personal chef, personal trainer, hairdresser etc, it's also about never having to worry about anything - if she wants to go for a run, there is a nanny available, she isn't having to spend time working, doing the laundry, cleaning the house, figuring out what her kids are going to wear for world book Day etc

She's not beautiful, but she's above averagely pretty, with great hair and the sort of body that makes clothes look good. Maybe the average woman could look as good with time and money, but the fact is, they typically don't. So it seems a bit odd to be so disparaging about a woman who looks better than the majority of her age group, as what does that say for everyone else?

I think what it says is that looking good and keeping fit is her job whereas the rest of us have actual jobs and have to fit that stuff in around it

So much bitterness and nastiness

100 percent agree with everything in this post

I love her outfit for the Buckingham Palace garden party.

LightDrizzle · 27/05/2022 20:24

The dress looks great.
Tom Cruise must be in Cuban heels surely?
The thought of William in velvet slippers turns my stomach 🤢

Those pics seem airbrushed

Here's some more candid ones

I love Williams face in those Twitter pictures trying not to piss himself laughing at the fact that Tom cruises put his hands on the future queen 🤣

I think she’s way too thin and that is not forgiving on the face.
