If George was gay he would end up in a lavender marriage.

Would he bollocks.

She also only ever dated and married white guys, has publicly celebrated having her dads pointed nose, straightens her Afro hairy and puts CAUCASIAN on her CV. But she plays the race card when she wants to be a victim. She’s a disgrace to people who really do suffer racism and is doing them no favours at all.

Perhaps I haven’t read the race card fine print as closely as you, but I’m fairly certain you can’t change your own race just by marrying people. HTH.

LydiaBennetsUglyBonnet · 18/12/2022 22:16

How do you know who she’s dated?

I don’t blame her for putting Caucasian on her CV in a racist America where mixed race actresses chances of getting a part are so much slimmer than white actresses.

As the mother of mixed race children - she’s not damaging anyone at all. Unless you’re black, that’s not your stake to claim.

She may have said she was Caucasian in her early career (I haven’t checked) but by the time she was on Suits, she wasn’t saying anything of the sort which is why they cast a Black actor to play her father in the show.

LydiaBennetsUglyBonnet · 18/12/2022 22:25

What’s a lavender marriage?

If George is gay I can’t imagine anyone in the 2030’s would give a shit. I imagine he’d remain childless and the crown would pass on to Charlotte’s children if she has them.

Exactly!! I watched Suits and they did make it clear she is a mixed race character. This was well before Harry.

pelargoniums · 18/12/2022 22:28

Why would he remain childless? Most gay men I know are married and have adopted. He’d also have the money to fund surrogacy.

Blossomtoes · 18/12/2022 22:28

A lavender marriage is a beard. Gay men used to enter into them when homosexuality was illegal. There’s been no need for them for the last 50 years.

antelopevalley · 18/12/2022 22:31

There are still rumoured lavender marriages among the aristocracy.

Lavender marriage is a term for a marriage undertaken to conceal the sexual orientation of one or both partners.

It was mainly used as a term in the early part of the 20th century when being gay could result in criminal prosecution.

Girl next door pretty after a nose job, cosmetic dentistry and chock full of botox and filler.

Honestly, the vitriol and bullshit from some posters is ridiculous. Aren’t you embarrassed?

Also I highly doubt she’s had the cosmetic work done you claim but even if she needed it - are you suggesting she’d be it as likeable if she were ugly?

And what’s wrong with having Botox and fillers?

No. It was all well reported on at the time in the Press. William was witnessed jumping on nightclub tables shouting 'I'm free!' after he dumped her. She has no professional background. Nobody raved about her beauty in the ten years that she was just the girlfriend. Even during their engagement interview the emphasis was on friendship not love. She does come up short compared other commoner women who married royalty in Europe. She did hang around so much that Harry nicknamed her 'The Limpet' and W's security staff referred to her as a mattress (which I do think is awful!). She is very underwhelming if you strip the titles away. She would be lucky to make mid-level management in the real world. Just unimpressed with her despite the lionisation she has with everyone talking her up. Frankly, if anyone should be embarrassed, it should be Kate for wasting one of the best educations that money can buy, being too lazy to actually go and get a career and consistently being one of the RF with the lowest tally of engagements consistently. I don't think she is all sugar and spice despite the spin. She was awful to Beatrice pre-marriage and deliberately humiliated her. Rolled her eyes at charity engagements. Was seen and heard saying really bitchy things to Pippa about a top tennis player's wife at Wimbledon.Was rather off with schoolkids when they asked about Meghan and Harry etc etc. The mask slips occasionally. If anyone should feel embarrassed it is those that make the slushy fangirl comments about how 'perfect', 'classy' etc she is. What I say may be an inconvenient truth but it was all very well-documented at the time. It has all been reinvented in recent times as some Mills and Boon story but Carole had to lean on William for him to propose!

@pinkpapaya what has Kate done to deserve such vitriol and unsubstantiated claims ? Even if she had Botox so what ? So have I .

Feel proud of yourself do you?
You sound like a teenager.
The vitriol spouted by some people is truly insane, and most of them seem to be H&M stans. Must be a link there.

BethJ62 · 18/12/2022 23:01

Do you blame her if she was off when asked about Harry and Meghan ( I need a link for that) . The way they are behaving , I would be off too and I say that as someone who used to be a supporter .

She had the tip of her nose done before the wedding. No, not suggesting she would be more likeable, just a response to people who claim she is all natural. Even her teeth are different these days! Nothing natural about her though as someone in the public eye, I can understand why she would tweak her looks. She actually needed botox and fillers because she was looking prematurely aged. Guess the fags, partying and sunbathing caught up with her.

Not impressed with any of them actually but the thread is about Kate Middleton not Meghan or Harry. Are you a Kate 'stan'? Is that why you are getting upset because I have related things that are all well reported upon?

Of course she wouldn’t make it to middle management IRL, you’d need to work at an actual real job for more than 5 minutes to get promoted to management. In reality she’d marry some rich banker and pop out 3 kids straight away so she can be a glam SAHM who plays tennis/gets her hair done and does the odd bit of volunteering. Which is basically what she does now!

What's wrong with being a SAHM? And charity volunteers perform vital services to help all sectors of society.
Stop being so judgemental about different lifestyles. 🙄
