Kate's Official Response to the Netflix Documentary

[KateBain]

Keep calm and carry on

Looking at her I think it unlikely that “hearty roasts” feature much in her life.

I have heard that Princess Anne is one of the hardest working royals. I can see her getting down and dirty in the causes she represents.

She’s certainly made of sterner stuff than ‘strong’ woman Meghan who takes offence at everything no matter how trivial. Kate’s model is more Princess Ann - knuckle down and do the work, don’t complain and don’t be wet.

of course so sorry. women should be seen but not heard.

Trivial like racism and death threats?

So carefully controlled. Wasn't George asked who he'd like to win the tennis game he was watching and when he said Djokovic, the press were told not to publish what he said.

Kate plays being bland better than most so maybe that is who she is.

No one knows who Kate really is. Both the "She's the best" and "She's the worst" teams are speculating. We can only see what she shows us and wants us to see.

Same with all of them.

From that, I think she's making the best of the life she chose...I hope she's happy.

This! It's all utter bullshit and a truly terrible role model.

The Royal family has changed enormously during my lifetime. I’m an admirer of the Princess Royal. She accepted her role, and works hard to this day. She was the second of the Queen’s children, yet her children have no royal titles. I think she played it just right, unlike her younger, very entitled, brother.

Although it’s more relaxed now, anyone marrying in and accepting a title would hopefully be bright enough to take things slowly, and not expect to immediately (if ever) be the star of the show. Poor Queen, I’m glad she’s out of it all.

She has an inner secure self confidence do doesn’t need to go on TV and talk about pilots thanking her for her service or made up conversations about lion king cast members saying South Africans were dancing on the streets when she got married

Yep. They're an absolute embarrassment.

Or one whom the media prints stories to make her sis in law look bad.

That way that many - presumably - women on this thread have described other women (Kate OR Meghan) is quite despicable

Meghan is more than capable of going on TV and making herself look bad without help from anyone else

I think she's lovely. Doesn't seem to put a foot wrong.

It'll be via lots more leaks, quotes from sources and horrid articles in British media.

@CovertImage agreed! Aside from the misogynistic bullshit and patriarchal privilege is women have to deal with on a day to day business, my number one pet peeve is when other women tell women what being a feminist is or the 'right' way to be a woman! True equality means a woman is allowed to be whatever the fuck she wants to be, whether that is subservient, outspoken, married, single, working, with or without kids! Let's just stick to the facts... Meghan and Harry have told their side of the story, Kate has not responded! No need to berate her...

😂😂😂

Are you a member of the KP PR team? Or just willing to do it for free?

I think she’s lovely. Always smiling, looks perfectly happy and confident. And she seems genuinely interested in people and helping charities without making it all about her. If she feels hard done by or sorry for herself she certainly does a good job of hiding it. Her focus seems to be on what she can do for other people and not herself all the time.

Kate has nothing to prove - she's Princess of Wales and she will one day be Queen. She's surrounded by her own supportive family - and has withstood all the brickbats thrown at her "doors to manual" mother and embarrassing Uncle Gary without feeling the need to go NC with them, and she's replicated that loving family dynamic with her own three children.

So H&M need to look at the RF calendar before they can speak? Also, the broadcaster decides when programmes are aired and not the people who make the programmes. Netflix is a global company, so shouldn't pander to William and Kate like their sycophants.

Well said, I couldn’t agree more.

It's so funny how people project these details onto strangers.

You have no idea how she manages her emotions or what kind of person she is.

She's a white woman with three children who wears coat dresses, smiles and waves. We know very little about what kind of person she is, by design.

Personally when I think of women I admire they are people who have overcome something, created something, challenged something. She is inoffensive but that's it.

So H&M need to look at the RF calendar before they can speak?

You can bet your arse Netflix look at it when planning their programming.

I think they are great women for being good wives and mothers to help hold a family together when times are good. I’m just not sure how well they would do when times are not good. Neither Kate nor Camilla strike me as Boudicca material.

The real test is: If Camilla had been in Diana’s shoes, how would she have faired? How would Camilla have coped with being chosen as a wife because of her virginity? Married to a man who loved another woman but needed her to produce heirs because she was a virgin?

And if being a good wife and mother is all that you need to be to have a claim to the crown practically every woman has a right to the crown.

Most people can be uncomplicated if they have the right circumstances (as you say, reared in privilege, loving family and good schools to cement all of that).

My point is that it shouldn’t be so easy to have a claim to the Crown because the Crown is THE symbol of justice. And there is nothing more complicated than justice and injustice.
