And that's your proof. Good grief.

Nothing wrong with it if your husband is happy to pay for you to do it. But there is something wrong when the taxpayer is paying for it, and you’re basically swanning around in designer dresses doing very little that could constitute work, relaxing in massive properties with your privately-educated kids, while much of the country is in actual poverty.

Yet if Meghan had done that...

BethJ62 · 18/12/2022 23:23

If that’s your proof I will ignore .
Why are you mentioning Meghan when you just told someone the thread isn’t about her ??!

kc431 · 18/12/2022 23:08

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!

Well, yes. You are quite correct. Just all this ridiculous stuff about her being so uber talented at everything she does, so perfect she might walk on water etc. She is just a flesh and blood woman who married a rich, titled man. Nothing she does is awe inspiring. She dresses up, utters inconsequential small talk etc then gets chauffered home. It isn't rocket science.

There is tons of it out there but I can't be bothered to post it. If you are that interested, look in your own time.

Well partly because the child mentioned the Montecito duo and partly to show that this woman's indiscretions are totally glossed over and excuses made at every turn here and other places. One rule for one and another for the other royal wife.

It's a yes but I can't be bothered to go look for it because you demand it.

Of course you did 🙄

Coxspurplepippin · 18/12/2022 23:36

What you've posted shows it's not one rule for one and another for the 'royal wife' Hmm. All it's shown is that Kate has been on the receiving end of some pretty horrible tabloid crap exactly the same as Meghan has. The tiktok video (is that where we get our news from now?), I couldn't actually hear what the child was supposed to have said, Kate says 'what else' - was she supposed to go into a full blown analysis of Harry and Meghan's media crusade with a, what, seven year old? Okaaaaay.

No, you criticised her for how you think she'd live her life if she'd married a banker. You sneered at SAHMs and you did it because you don't like her. You wanted to make a nasty comment about her.

Quite clearly she isn't a SAHM now. She does a lot of engagements and has got busier since being Princess of Wales, and will get even busier again when she becomes Queen. When you're retired at 67, she'll still be working and her workload will have increased. Just like Charles's did at 73.

antelopevalley · 18/12/2022 23:40

She works a maximum of one day a week and has loads of staff. I doubt she will ever work more than that. William will be forced to though.

Again, lots out there. Just go and look. There were even subtitles on the video and you can hear the child. It was also reported in several British newspapers

I guess if you think eye rolling a child is OK....then OK

Jesus, are we reduced to TikTok and the Mail for our “facts”? The misogynistic vitriol on this thread is stomach turning. Some of you should hide your faces in shame.

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.

Ah so not relevant when George will be an adult then!

If someone bullied my 3 year old , I would do more than roll my eyes at the mention of their name .

Coxspurplepippin · 18/12/2022 23:46

I couldn't hear the child. The subtitles read 'Like Harry and Meghan ' (which I'm assuming is what the child said) and 'what else'. So I'm none the wiser. The clip was about 6 seconds long. Kate said 2 words. 2 words.

You must be so proud of your cogent analysis. Go you.

LydiaBennetsUglyBonnet · 18/12/2022 23:48

pinkpapaya · 18/12/2022 22:57

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!

Crikey you witness a lot of the RF in their personal sphere if you know all this to be true! Are you a stalker? Or a member of the RF?

Also what did you expect from an engagement interview - a hollow by blow account of their sex life?

As for the eye rolling - pics or it didn’t happen. I think the level of bullshit requires proof.

Except it is legitimate video footage and no, not just the Mail but other news outlets. Like I said, there are many fans who will excuse anything Kate does and thatvis their perogative and they dislike it when her 'perfect' reputation is called into question or reportage over the years show that things weren't so perfect. There is a huge trend towards revisionism where the RF are concerned. Without the status, power and privilege, they are all pretty dismal people.

As have I. I look fantastic as a result. Maybe I should be self flagellating though for such a horrific sin 🤣

Honestly these claims about nightclubs and nicknames would make a National e journalist embarrassed with how unsubstantiated and ridiculous they are.

Also embarrassed for anyone in this day and age who thinks ‘reported in the press’ = must be factual.

Lay off the reality TV @pinkpapaya
