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?

I read that Meghan has been obsessed with Rose since she sat next to Harry at a state dinner when they were dating and that’s why the terrible rumors about Rose were started. That’s a shame if it’s true, as I think Rose and Harry were just friends.

I didn’t read this latest article though.

Indeed . As I have posted before , Meghan wasn’t allowed to attend the State Banquet with Harry as she was only his girlfriend . Harry accompanied Rose as her husband was on official duty .
It was reported at the time that Meghan was furious.

Thank you for correcting me.

I don’t live in the UK and the State visit didn’t get in depth coverage here.

Roll on Wimbledon and hopefully Kate will be there even occasionally.

I too hope to see Catherine at Wimbledon but I just know that the snarky comments will start about her being able to go there but not “ real “ work.,

Sorry, Rose's Dad.

Fascinating factoid about the Chomondeleys. Jack Huston (Boardwalk Empire, lots of stuff, good actor IMO) is the 6th Marquess's grandson on his mother's side and Anjelica Huston (those Hustons) nephew on his fathers. Also related to Siegfried Sassoon and the Rothschilds.

And Ned Lambton, also mentioned in the piece, is the son of Anthony Lambton, who in 1973 had to resign as Undersecretary of State for defence for sleeping with prostitutes due to "pressures of work."

The 1970s weren't ALL boring 😅

Ah, that Lambton, forgot about him!

Yep. I had a look at Villa Cetinale where he lived after leaving Britain, and now have severe villa envy.

Ah yes! Shall we try and get all those snarky comments out of the way now, to save time later? Here are my predictions:

She's lazy, as you say - picks and chooses what to attend.
She's only there to flirt with Roger Federer
She was mean to poor Meghan when they attended together
Her clothes will be a coded insult to Meghan OR
Her clothes will be an attempt to copy Meghan
She's had work done and has been hiding away

Snore...I wonder what else they'll come up with? I'll be making my bingo card, though.

So he must be Lucinda's brother?

Father, according to wiki. He was born 1922, Lucinda was born 1943.

A previous Lord Lambton a long time ago (Crusader) apparently returned home in time to fight the "Worm", ie the massive dragon terrorising the area. Well, according to the old NE folk song.

The DM would have had a field day.

"HORRIFYING PICTURES!

Earl Lambton (27) just back from an extended lads holiday in the Middle East, left his 2000 mark castle today to take on the Lambton Worm. His glamourous wife Lady Lambton (23) showed off her toned pins while watching from the battlements, saying "I've found The One. None of my previous boyfriends would slay dragons for me".

I’d just cross it all off now. It’ll leave your hands free for a glass of something lovely and a bowl of strawberries.

A) who wouldn't flirt with Roger 🤤
B) she's had a crap year and I hope she does get to have a bloody good flirt with him. They certainly have a chemistry between them, their body language says they are very partial to each other. However I think they both come over as very loyal people who would enjoy a bit of innocent flirtation but never overstep the line. I hope she gets a lovely flirt with gorgeous RF and several glasses of shampoo and strawberries.

Honestly can’t believe the people who are determined to see signs of unhappiness. They look incredibly in love to me. Obviously if you’re being photographed and filmed constantly whilst ‘at work’ you aren’t going g to be clinging to each other . They’re working. The body language looks and smiles indicate they are very in tune with each other. At the same time everyone has days when they feel unwell, tired or bored. Even people in the public eye.

The difference between Kate and Meghan is the whole of the vile right wing press are behind Kate and trash Meghan all the more in order to bolster Kate up.

I find the royal family’s relationship with the press disgusting.

Not a fan of H&M but find the family too dysfunctional and toxic to admire anymore.

@LumiB This very old thread was reactivated by the attached poster/post - a Meghan fan. If you want to gripe at anyone about the turn of the discussion, I suggest you start with them.
