Kate has been fabulous since the Queen's death, such poise & self awareness. I think Carole & Michael did a great job & don't get enough recognition.
I don't know the family personally nor have i met them but there has never been tell all stories about them or Kate & Pippa which says alot..

The Middleton’s what? Middletons’? Nanny? School? Dog?

Oh honestly, get off your knees. What has she done exactly apart from show up where she's told to wearing the appropriate clothing?

This uncritical unthinking fawning has got to end at some point, for the love of god.

This. In sack loads. It's nauseating.

Op, this is your second thread in two days about Kate and her parents. This is just a little weird now 🤔 Anyone would think you are stirring up hatred which I hope isn’t true.

Lostinabba · 16/09/2022 15:47

Is the OP hoping for a good ole Meghan vs Kate Friday night pile on?

Not sure everyone's had enough wine yet. It's not 4pm and I've not been to the coop to get mine yet.

Bugeyedowl · 16/09/2022 15:49

Personally she always looks cold and a bit thin-lipped with displeasure, if you ask me. I can't respect a woman who would put up with a cheating husband to make queen. She's hanging in there by her claws!

Samcro · 16/09/2022 15:53

i like her and think she does her role very well. but the idea that bringing a daughter up to be a mans support seems an odd fit for mn.

I agree. There is an almost identical thread to this one too.

But can we give the Middleton's a bit of credit. I'm a similar age to Kate but there's no way I'd have had the maturity, self-awareness & confidence to infiltrate royal circles at such a young age..

Were you raised in a wealthy privileged family, where throughout your entire childhood and school career, you had confidence and entitlement drummed in to you?

If you didn’t, that would explain your awe.

Rapidtango · 16/09/2022 15:58

notanotheroneagain, you are obviously a supporter of Meghan, and decry the behaviour of the press and others towards her, and here you are being rather nasty about Catherine. Why is that? Especially as Catherine has done absolutely nothing to warrant it. Your comment above about an expression on her face is just awful.

JaneDoe222 · 16/09/2022 16:00

I hope they taught her about correct use of apostrophe’s.

Notonyerwelly · 16/09/2022 16:02

Oh ffs🙄

Yes these threads are generally populated by a small but dedicated (and possibly paid) smattering of spiteful Meghan fans, who generally manage to say far nastier and more offensive things than anyone ever says about Meghan.

why do people have to be so nasty about her. she does nothing to warrant that.
she like most of the royals is just playing a part and she does that well.

No unfortunately I had quite rthe opposite.

In the past there were lots of stories about how the Middletons were 'social climbers', etc. That many in the Royal 'set' (hangers on), did not really like the Middletons.
They used to say 'doors to manual', in reference to Mrs Middleton's former cabin crew job.
(maybe someone could explain what that means, and why it is considered so derogatory).
However, I think the real importance is that the Middletons are a loving family, with parents who have not divorced, etc.
This maybe some significance to William, whose parents (Charles and Diana), divorced, and also Diana's parents had a very acrimonious divorce.
He gets to see a how a normal (though rather rich) family behave together, etc

This. She is an irreproachable set of surfaces topped with a glossy blow-dry, and appears to have been designed by a committee of backroom courtiers whose brief was ‘maximum public-facing inoffensiveness’ and ‘none of the emotional incontinence of Princess Diana’ — this woman is a safe pair of hands. Looks nice in a coat dress, will never give interviews about her crowded marriage or be caught having her toes sucked by a lover on a sun-lounger. Like all royals, she’s intended primarily as a thing to be looked at.

(It’s also quite weird you’re giving credit to the parents of a 40 year old for her behaviour, as though she’s a toddler being praised for not grabbing…)

The knowledge and alleged information some of the posters have on this thread of W & K is very unhealthy. It comes across as obsessed and creepy.

garlicandsapphires · 16/09/2022 16:29

I disagree.

why is there another thread about this?

MsTSwift · 16/09/2022 16:29

Strange to congratulate parents on the actions of their adult child. Would you look at criminals and tut at their crap parents?

myrtilles · 16/09/2022 16:32

I think she does very well carrying out her royal duties. I also think she is doing an excellent job bringing up her children. They appear a lovely family. I also think Kate's family have given Prince William an experience of normal family life which he lacked due to losing his mother young and growing up in the public eye. Whilst their children will benefit from the best education money can buy in other ways they cannot just do as they please with their money...eg. they could no doubt afford lots of nice holidays but are not able to have them as it would be frowned upon in the press.

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe · 16/09/2022 16:33

Ick. Will the fawning never end?

Strange, the people who non stop squat on MM threads, calling her all sorts of names, over and over get offended by my one time calling KM unprofessional. Now you are offended? Get off.

Can't qwhite put my finger why posters feel KM is above reproach.

ChaToilLeam · 16/09/2022 17:07

More fawning than Bambi on loop for a whole weekend.
