Kate's Official Response to the Netflix Documentary

[KateBain]

Keep calm and carry on

Eh? Keep calm, and carry on. The show must go on, keeping up appearances and all that. Do what she does best. Hardly surprising, is it? Considering the royal family is all about show, and little else.

Best response frankly.

H&M have now told their side, they've made sure they were heard. I just hope they go on to live that peaceful life they said they wanted. They have much to be thankful for.

I have no interest in hearing anymore about a family's dirty laundry.

Grit, determination, duty, loyalty, service, good humour.

I'm no royalist but I do admire Kate's self possession and determination to get on with things .

And her family and extended family were there to support her. Charles should issue some letters (or whatever!) to name her Princess Catherine.

Kate has spent her entire life since she met William smiling serenely and continuing on while publicly ignoring anything that may pop her bubble other than by dieting ruthlessly (I assume because it’s one of the only things in her life she can really control).

I have no idea if William is the most adoring of husbands or banging every woman he meets (I know neither of them) but either way the rumours and gossip must be painful.

I’m not convinced her methods of dealing with what comes with being a member of the RF is any more emotionally healthy than H&M’s (or Diana’s) but I think it’s the only possible method if she wants to stay married and it doesn’t damage the institution of the monarchy in any way so good for her I guess.

I hope she and William are still in love and she still thinks he and the children are worth the negatives that come with being a woman in the RF.

A big difference for Catherine is she has strong support from both her parents and her siblings. I don't see her as passive but having a steely resolve. She has a very strong willed and accomplishments mother in her corner.

As someone who was orphaned as a teen I an aware how huge of a gift this is.

If she couldn't do that bare minimum of looking presentable on camera for a hot minute, she wouldn't be married in. Rumour has it she was the last one standing, though, after Isabella Calthorpe and Jecca Craig said no.

That's the difference between a secure and confident woman and one that feels the need to cry about every little issue on TV

Or one that's not having to deal with racism.

She fulfils her role very well but that aside comes across as a decent happy human being.

H and M wanted to tell "their story" as if they're somehow countering another person's version of events.
The only story we, the public have is what the media wanted us to (which obviously isnt the full story and has been both extremely negative, damaging and at times racist to Meghan)
But we've never heard from any other member of the RF what their version of events is, and I very much doubt we would (other than maybe a short carefully worded statement , as per their response to the Oprah Winfrey programme)

I find it interesting people see her as secure, confident and happy. She has always struck me as deeply insecure and lacking in confidence and terrified of doing something wrong and upsetting the RF.

As for being happy, I think she loves and values her children and her husband and makes the best of the life that comes with them. I wouldn’t necessarily say that amounts to being happy.

Just like her mum who planned for years for her to marry William

Otherwise known as ‘turning a blind eye’.

I am starting to question if Kate is suitable for the crown if her response to difficult issues is to turn a blind eye to injustice. What is the crown if not THE symbol of justice?

Duh 🙄

I agree that Kate does look great. I think she performs well and is good at it because she’s predictable. She is careful not to put a foot wrong.

Kate is the stunning ship that never leaves the harbour. But is being moored at the harbour what ships are for?

That's my impression too.

Best response. Some seem appalled that William was angry with Harry but I'd have been angry too in Williams shoes. The video diary on netflix did nothing to change my views on H&M, except maybe prove what I'd always thought, that meghan is upset that kate and william didn't LOVE her instantly. They were still assessing and that injured her ego. Also the press wasn't always fantastic.

William and Kate must need therapy to make sense of all of this.

No. But having to deal with constant criticism and rumours anyway.

I guess thats the RF - people see what they want to see.

I agree.
NObody who cares so much what other people think that they spend their life trying to amend the public's view of her is confident. She acts confident. But she is not fuelled by a very certain sense of herself. It's so obvious. And that's not a crime. I think I'm similar. I didn't have a very strong sense of my self. I used to be a lot more sensititive than I am now. I hope she matures, but you have to self reflect a bit more to even contemplate, is it me? am I the problem?
Can't see it for a while yet.

According to new polling by the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF), while a quarter (25%) of respondents think they have heard about charities and appeals they might not otherwise have known about because of Royal support.

when the queen as reigning she was a Royal Patron or President with more than 600 charities, military associations, professional bodies, and public service organisations including ABF The Soldiers Charity, the British Diabetic Association, Cancer Research UK, and Cruse Bereavement Care. Now these have been distributed to the other royals.

But lets not your bias hatred stand in the way of facts, so @LadyKenya what do you do thats more impressive?

Yes, well put. I don't envy her for a second.

Another thread was about how an editor for a major paper told Norman Baker that Kate and William were off limits for criticism. m.youtube.com/watch?v=HPOahpNmiMg

Kate is safe in the knowledge that the press will be on her side, more or less, because she’s married to the next in line. The palace will protect Kate. Meghan does not have that level of safety or security.

Kate’s journey has been much easier. And I’m glad because I wouldn’t want anyone to go through what Meghan has endured.

You are saying: The Royal Family are a well-known brand, like Coca Cola. When members of the brand endorse a charity then it helps with recognition and sponsorship. Yes, this is how marketing and brand management works.

Unless you’re claiming that the royal family get down and dirty in the charitable causes, then I don’t see how they’re any different from another big brand.

No bias hatred from me, that is a strong term to use, and frankly hyperbolic. I am not being paid to be kept in absolute luxury by the British public, so I do not feel the need to list my credentials. The royals charity "work" is actually performed by normal members of the public, doing the real grunt work.

The same Norton Baker, who is a self claimed anti-monacist. The Same guy who`s only articles on M&H were in both the Sun and the DailyMail, complaining about the cost of the RF to the tax payer. So the editorial had a bias slant from either the Sun or the DailyMail.

All papers have an editorial bias, so you as a H&M defender who says the DM and Sun only publish lies you are now quoting the writers of those very same articles are reliable.

Do you see your double standars here 😂

William is very lucky to have Kate - she seems to be a very stable, sensible, non-drama queen type of person. Exactly the right person, he couldn't have chosen better imo. And I am sure she will talk him out of any rash responses and be a good counsel for him. Kate also has sensible parents and I am sure values their opinions too.
Harry has chosen almost the exact opposite in his wife and I am starting to think he likes the relentless drama now too.
His life will now be endless nonsense but that is up to him.
I think Harry needs some good advisers but no idea where he would get them
