What does Kate do?

Just wondering if there is an article anywhere about what a typical day for Kate is? I remember seeing a typical weeks diary for Princess Diana when not on Royal tours. Diana's was full of gyms, exercise classes, beauty treatments and lunches. Just wondering if Kate's would look the same?

I hope she uses local kale and spinach.

UrbanSpaceboy · 10/01/2022 21:27

Shiny!

@Pawprintpaper

I imagine she’s fairly hands on with the kids, gets them off to school with the driver or nanny (sometimes takes them herself), goes for a run with the dog, gets back and has shower and a blow dry, nice cup of Darjeeling. Replies to some emails/letters. Lunch with friend, some form of appointment in the afternoon (hair, facialist, dress fitting) kids come home, family meal, homework/reading, kids bath timeline/bedtime, line of duty, news at 10, off to bed.
For a fag and a pint of lambrini, quick read of The Sun and a wank...Blush

Does she play tennis regularly?
I am not convinced by lunch with friends. She is never photographed with a friend and no names are ever mentioned. She seems more into family.

OPs mission is accomplished.

Many women have a nanny and still care for their kids, three young kids is a lot. Having a nanny doesn’t mean you don’t do anything at all ever with your kids.

Na, I bet she drops the kids off, dons on some glasses and then does one of those 'what's in Poundland today' videos on You tube. Grin

sorry for being so cheeky, I quite like her really

I didnt suggest for a minute she does nothing with the kids. But the kids are at school/nursery. Then the nanny will do some of the work. Of course, Kate will as well. But she is not a SAHM with 3 kids full time and no help. In that situation the answer to what she does would be look after the kids. And I assume William also gets involved with the kids.

Fitness? She looks like she might. That takes time.

AmberLynn1536 · 10/01/2022 21:40

The OP is obsessed with Kate but not in a fan girl way, that’s reserved for someone else. I really dislike your disingenuous way to discuss Kate, knowing there will be some unpleasant replies, in other words getting other people to do you dirty work, you are not as clever as you think OP.

JasperTheHungry · 10/01/2022 21:41

I read that she’s part of a dance group and they create re-enactments of historical events through the medium of jazz dance formation. That must take up some time.

TheHairyDinosaur · 10/01/2022 21:42

Same could be said for any wealthy woman with school aged children though.

If you had a nanny and a cleaner, husband worked kids at school, you'd have "free time" in the day too, to do as you please. Plus no royal tours or engagements 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm really not understanding the fascination here.

RoyalFamilyFan · 10/01/2022 21:43

I think Kate is a quiet rich woman who I have no real idea what she is like.
I hate the whole Kate versus Meghan thing if that is what you are alluding to. It is typical misogyny, set two women against each other. Especially as the real issues seem to be between the men.

Oh I don’t know, I think it would be fairly easy to imagine how some might fill their days.

It is fairly evident how low some choose to go to amuse themselves on an almost daily basis.

RoyalFamilyFan · 10/01/2022 21:45

@TheHairyDinosaur yes but they fill it with something. So a woman I used to know with kids in boarding school used to organise lots of local community events. A friend has an amazing garden. Most people don't just sit and watch TV for 15 years.

There'll be a lot of preparing for engagements and events - everyone who meets her mentions how much she already knew about their project, organisation etc and how interested she was and asked all the right questions - that can take quite a bit of work, it comes easily to some people but it's just like preparing to make a presentation or big meeting at work for the rest of us - you can spend 2-3 hours or so prep for every actual hour of doing the thing. (and yes - she will have staff to help brief her but she's got to put in the hours reading it, memorising it, rehearsing speeches, learning people's names and titles) Reading the newspapers and listening to the news will also be part of the 'job' - to be confident moving between different social situations.

Then while it's definitely nice to not have to do the grunt work of cleaning, grocery shopping, laundry etc - there's a certain amount of time needed to plan and supervise employees - just like any management position in an office.

And then there's the time it takes to meet all the expectations for the society rules for that kind of role - lots of letter writing, diary organising etc, hosting, going to dinner parties with people you don't know or have no interest in.

I'm pretty sure she has a very full schedule - it might not seem like work to some people but anything becomes 'the job' when it's something you have to do every day because it's your role.

There's not much flexibility over the yearly schedule either.

This is a role where she knows exactly where she has to be every Easter, Remembrance Day, Monarch's official birthday, Commonwealth Day, Christmas for the next 60 years - or until she's dead (or there's a revolution and we institute a Republic - in which case I bet she'd heave a sigh of relief and then definitely spend her days playing tennis, lunching and having spa treatments)

Keepitonthedownlow · 10/01/2022 21:47

If the kids come home at 3 it doesn't actually leave that much time in the day I imagine.

Oh please, do me a favour!!
Frolicinameadow · 10/01/2022 21:50

Why do you need to know what she does everyday though? She could be sitting in a bath of human milk being fed bonbons by a servant in a clown costume, what possible difference does it make to your life?
Yes SUPER interesting that Diana with an eating disorder and straying husband had many many beauty appointments and worked out. How aspirational and shocking.
Odd to criticise someone for having no passions they wish to share for the world to criticise

shetlandskies · 10/01/2022 21:51

I reckon she works 20 hours a week, most of the school day, planning engagements, replying to letters, learning, commitments to whatever she is supporting.

Good luck to her, she seems like a steady pair of hands.

I'd rather have my life as a hard working single parent in charge of my own destiny than hers, however glamorous it seems.

To the vipers - Kate married a prince and is now public property, but women operating in Kate's circles could easily have not married a prince and have had a similar life/lifestyle without the goldfish bowl.

She is an asset to the RF - not interested in comparisons. She knows what is required and seems to fulfil it whilst building her own healthy loving family at the same time.

Good luck to her.

JayAlfredPrufrock · 10/01/2022 21:51

I don’t work. I walk the dog, I’m involved with two charities, I see friends and generally waft.

My day is easily filled.

RoyalFamilyFan · 10/01/2022 21:52

Her last engagement was on the 14th of December. There aren't as many engagements as some appear to think.
She did spend 2 days apparently sitting for the photos for her 40th birthday.

Couldn't have put it better myself.
