Kate's Official Response to the Netflix Documentary

[KateBain]

Keep calm and carry on

You can try. I’m not buying it.

They are all a complete waste of taxpayers money.

You need to be accurate in what you sell, because there are those who will announce on future threads that Kate went to Sarah Everard's funeral; they know because they read it on MN!

I thought her attendance was a lovely gesture.

Where was Kate after Grenfell? A fire caused by the negligence of the Royal Borough she lives in? Dead, grieving and displaced people. Dead and injured children.
Where was she? Lazy, entitled and uncaring ultimately. Actions speak to your compassion or otherwise.
Where were Kate and William when their newborn baby nephew was compared to an animal by Danny Baker? Where was their response? They respond when they choose to as they did following Tatler's attack on Kate's mother and class and following the latest racist slur against the Black lady who visited KP as they realise how bad it will look for them. They should have responded to the disgraceful racism levelled against their own family. They complain and explain when they want to through injunctions. Through friends at the Daily Mail. The never complain and never explain is a fallacy used to draw sympathy and is totally false. Test it out by starting a thread on William's affair if in doubt.

Rubbish. It's been widely debunked. Even my mate who writes for the Sun says its not true.

So did I @ajandjjmum. And I’m normally a cynic.

I want my daughters to look up to a woman like Meghan. I don't want them to think that their aim in life should be to be a subservient woman like Kate who gave up her voice and her independence for a man. Meghan is a terrific role model for today's teens and luckily they seem to admire her much more than they do the role Kate plays. I am sure Kate is a great mum behind the scenes, but really it is 2022, let the woman be real.

Superinjunction rumours debunked - if there was a superinjunction in place it would only be upheld in England and Wales - nothing to stop anyone publishing material in Scotland or ooooh, the rest of the world and yet there's nothing.

There have been hundreds of references to William's supposed affair on MN - nearly every thread at the moment contains such references and none of the threads or even the posts have been taken down so I'm not sure you have your 'facts' straight.

Your 'Friend' at the Sun is lying to you @Janieread

I am sure Kate is a great mum behind the scenes, but really it is 2022, let the woman be real.

yes! it's not Kates fault but why is she expected to be so subservient

I love her. She's so graceful.

@Coxspurplepippin try starting a thread on William's affair, see how long it lasts.
Go on, I very dare you...

Women supporting women at its best on this thread eh.

Poor MM everyone made up lies about her so lets all to the same to the PoW.

Lots of Haz and Meg bots out in force.

I don't think anything will infuriate H&M more than receiving little or no response. So I'm in favour of the 'keep calm and carry on approach'

I don't know if W&K have or look at social media, or if they pay much attention to the tabloids - I suspect not, and they leave it to their comms team, whilst H&M seem to be obsessed with what the media are saying about them. They almost seem to actively search for something, so they can then go 'see, they hate us / are bullying us'. There could be 100 positive articles, but the 1 negative one is the focus.

I think not having social media and avoiding reading tabloids is the best approach to managing the stress of being in the public eye. Kate also does a lot of her own family photos and releases them, which also helps to manage it.

I think W&K are doing a great job, and H&M bring a lot of it on themselves.

@Coxspurplepippin go on, lets see what happens! I know the press have an injunction about it but not sure about Mumsnet (it was all over the American press however.)

Yes he has a superinjunction, try making a thread about William's affair and it has to be taken down. Mumsnet like other media outlets have to follow this

Utter nonsense. This rumor was maliciously started by Giles Coren - who was put up to tweeting it during a drunken weekend spent with Harry and Meghan at Soho House in Amsterdam.

Coren later admitted he had done it for a joke and it was all untrue.

The aim was to try to damage Will and Kate's reputations online, which Meghan's super-fans see as some sort of deranged mission. They have been frantically spreading the rumors online ever since. They often cite 'superinjunctions' as the reason why it's never been reported anywhere, ever. Of course, a superinjunction wouldn't prevent the story from being reported abroad, and some of Meghan's super-fans/ pr plants will often claim that 'friends in Europe/ the US/ Australia say it's been reported openly there' but of course, it hasn't been reported by a credible publication - anywhere - ever - because it's all made up.

Kate's sister Pippa even named her daughter Rose - the same name as the woman the rumors were about - but those determined rumour-mongers just carried on, insisting this is a 'double-bluff'. Seriously! Who would saddle a child with a name for life just for the sake of outwitting the rumour-mongering of some online fanatics?

Thankfully, the time is approaching when people will need to post under their own traceable identities on forums like this one - the process is happening already, for example on The Times comments section as of last week. What a welcome change that will be, and let's see just how vociferous some posters are about spreading false and malicious rumours then.

Go on, I very dare you
there is literally a thread about the affair rumors and it’s been on MN for over a week now , no one pulled it down …

In work I’ve met William and Kate, I’ve also met Harry and Meghan.
william and Kate were laid back and full of banter, Harry and Meghan were uptight, you could see Harry was eager to please.
I admire Kate and her stoicism.

There are plenty of posts regarding the supposed affair (that didn’t happen) and they’re not taken down.

I think you’re confused.

So you’re saying that since Meghan did it too, it must show class? Bearing in mind there are multiple threads effectively saying ‘Meghan has no class, Kate is better’, I’m not sure that saying Kate and Meghan do exactly the same sort of things (showing up at vigils / memorials etc. with the press in tow) is the mic drop you think it is.

I do think you are right though - most of the complaints about Meghan (courts the press, does things for publicity with no follow through, tips off paps as to where she is to get ‘good’ pictures) absolutely do apply to Kate.

William has not had an affair. The royals are doing very well in carrying on and not commenting. They are wonderful. We are lucky to have them.

All I can hope is that M&H can bring themselves to let both grandfathers see the children may be once or twice a year. Any decent child would allow their fathers to do so - if they don't they are not kind people.

wishingyouwell - there you go - thread's still standing (channels favourite royal crooner Elton).........

Barnaby - can't be bothered - there's plenty of threads and posts, I don't want to add to the carnage

We are lucky to have them.

why?

Seriously! Who would saddle a child with a name for life...

Yes, who'd do that 🤔

The idea that an abusive parent has a ‘right’ to see grandchildren is appalling.

Thomas Markle has spent literally years doing what he can to destroy his daughter. His behaviour (egged on by the dodgy half sister whose explanation for giving up her children for adoption was ‘I couldn’t find a babysitter’) was and is appalling. There is no way Meghan and Harry should ever let him anywhere near their kids.
