Unpopular Opinion - William and Kate

1000 replies

EdaYildiz · 13/10/2022 21:27

Don't come at me, I'm sharing my unpopular opinion because I want to know what you all think but just don't see a spark between William & Kate.

Loved them since the day they starting dating way back when they were undergrads at St Andrews but I just don't see their connection in pictures and it seems a little forced when she has her hand on his back or when they do hold hands.

I don't expect them to hold hands and snog because I know they're mostly photographed whilst they're working but he looks bored and she looks like she's trying her best.

Does anyone agree with me?

Why not address the point the poster is making, rather than make a comment about the poster themselves?

Oh the irony! How about that poster doesn’t make comments about posters on here, you know, the thing you are complaining about in your post?

Rather an odd comment, given that the poster, whose style is very familiar to regulars here, made no 'point' other than to criticise others.

Are you OK with personal comments provided you agree with them? It seems so.

It’s not an odd comment at all!

This always happens on here!

If someone makes a comment contrary to the majority, someone questions who they are rather than addresses their point!

But carry on enjoying your own echo chamber!

Whoever they are; and frankly it doesn’t matter, I think they make a very good point!

I’ll bite.

Do the people that come on these threads everyday read their own comments?
Probably yes, they do!

H&M are ‘yesterday’s news’,
They are in the news regularly.

but you’re still talking about them today…
Yes, I personally am stunned they’ve never altered course and that they keep doing thing I find foolish. I like chatting about it.

and will be tomorrow, and the day after that. And, likely, the years to follow.
Maybe, who can tell? Who cares?

Meanwhile, they’re living the lives that they want,. I’m not so sure of that. Their actions seem to indicate otherwise. The actions of their fans as well.

unaffected by your jealousydisdain.
I wouldn’t expect anyone in the news to be affected by my feels about them, which you’ve misunderstood if you think it’s jealousy.

No matter how you try to spin it, they're not the sad ones in this scenario.
We tend to observe rather than spin. I find cutting yourself off from your family incredibly sad. Ditto at grappling for attention. So I do find them very sad.

ArcaneWireless · 24/06/2024 15:15

I refer you to my post of 1510hrs

People want a discussion? Then don’t insult others when putting your point across.

IcedPurple · 24/06/2024 15:18

Not really.

The poster didn't really make a 'point'. They simply slagged off other posters, something you claimed to consider poor practice. They'll be along soon to tell us all how 'old' we are. It's all very familiar.

But carry on enjoying your own echo chamber!

Bye then.

I find words like “stunned” a little hyperbolic tbh.

I think it would be more accurate to say that threads like these are just good excuses to gossip and compare M&M unfavourably with C&W.

At least own it instead of using excuses!

To be fair Meghan and Harry do that themselves, they don’t need any help from us.

ArcaneWireless · 24/06/2024 15:24

Then one could ask oneself how there are so many comments.

There wouldn’t be if they couldn’t be compared unfavourably.

I find you demanding a response then policing my language annoying. 🤷‍♀️

I never compare women. Women are individuals and unique.

But since we are being pedantic I find terms like “own it” rather aggressive and faddish. Like “confronting” someone. I don’t “own”
actions. I take responsibility for them. I did so when I said I enjoy chatting about this particular topic because I find them peculiar.

AliceOlive · 24/06/2024 15:33

Re: comparing women that seems to be the modus operandi of the the Sussex squad. I’ve never once commented about these people on social media outside of this forum. I don’t track people down and harass them online nor in person. I don’t think someone must choose a side. I don’t dislike Meghan simply because I find Catherine gracious.

You don't get to tell people how to post.

And au contraire, I think they are talking arrant shite.

If you're concerned with "hyperbole" then I suggest you go away and have a good listen to some of your idol's comments. They're the epitome of hyberbole, grossly exaggerated and mostly meaningless word salad.

Do you really think they are living the lives they want ?
How many times has Harry said he misses his family ?( you know the family that made life Hell for him and his wife).
Apart from dishing the dirt on the RF , what have they done that has been successful ? Spotify . Cancelled and who will forget the “ fucking grifters” comment ?
Pearl . Cancelled . Limonada . Announced to great fanfare then quietly shelved . ARO . Launched months ago with still no products .
Rights to a book ( can’t remember the name it was so long ago) bought for a Netflix production. Silence .
Invictus . Brilliant and worthwhile but has become the Meghan fashion show .
Meanwhile they cling on to their Royal titles while Harry fights pointless court cases and Meghan arranges pap shots .
I am not jealous . I do find the couple fascinating in a strange way.

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 24/06/2024 17:51

Isn't it odd how when someone comes on here to take us to task, another poster pops up minutes later to back them up? I've noticed this a few times over the last few days.

Then they disappear after having flung out the usual cliched insults. Or what they think are insults.

I don't know how many times this question has been answered.

People are interested,nay fascinated, by M and H's antics. There's a serious reason to comment on them because they nearly caused (quite deliberately and some might say, maliciously) a constitutional crisis. They still seem to enjoy undermining the monarchy and the UK in general and have some vicious fans whose behaviour is deviant and fanatical, even cultish.

But on a lighter level, they are just endlessly entertaining. They take themselves unbelievably seriously - think of the many, many nonsensical speeches by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. When you give yourself airs and take yourself that seriously, people are going to laugh - sorry, but they are.

If you're at all interested in psychology - they are the gift that keeps on giving.

Loads of reasons to be interested. Why do people keep asking the same question when I've seen it answered on these threads at least a hundred times? Do you not like the previous answers?

Being spoken about isn't necessarily a compliment. We talk about Hitler and Stalin too and that isn't complimentary 🙄

That someone is affected by my jealousy/disdain doesn't negate my right to have an opinion about them, nor to express it in any way shape or form wherever and whenever I like.

And if Haz is living the life he wants, he needs to tell his face.

Thedom · 24/06/2024 18:13

I think Meghan probably IS living a life very similar to what she wanted, she has her own PR team working tirelessly on her behalf, she is wealthy beyond anything she could have dreamed of before marrying Harry and she has a few famous names in her corner, whose lifestyles she can piggyback on.. She has two kids who are British Royals, so always linked to one of the most prestigious Royal families in the world, So, even if her commercial efforts are failures, it is still a far cry from where she was 8 years ago and from where she would be now if she hadn't met and married Harry. The downside for her is that she has been exposed as a liar and a narcissist and most of the public don't love her as much as she loves herself.

Harry on the other hand, appears absolutely miserable, he looks like he is not even remotely living the life he wanted, he has a wife who behaves like she believes he is inferior and lacking., treats him like the village idiot in public. He is now as unpopular as his uncle, which must be a hard pill to swallow for Harry. Invictus, which has been the cornerstone of his life since he had to leave the army, has been commandeered by his wife for her own personal PR and he has been sidelined and ridiculed as a result. He looks like he is floundering big time in his newfound civilian life and he is not wearing it well.
