Kate's Official Response to the Netflix Documentary

[KateBain]

Keep calm and carry on

Why would she sell stories? She lives in palaces, has multiple houses, access to fancy holidays, and amazing clothes. She has zero need to sell stories for cask. And neither has others like William or Charles.
So it seems a strange thing to say when nobody in their position would sell stories to Netflix. Nobody.

Well as my old Mum use to say you can’t buy class!!

you either have it or you don’t

Kate has more class on the tip of her pinky finger then the one washing her dirty laundry on Netflix.
THIS
^^^^^
That's just what I said last night.
I feel for M but this is not the way.
She will never get the validation she wants this way.

Class in many people's eyes seems to be synonymous with being a doormat but continuing to smile.

Ignoring them is the best way forward IMHO.

@antelopevalley

no its just ‘tell all’s’ are rather tacky, no matter how you doll them up

@Ohnonevermind But publicly criticising your dead mother at an unveiling of her statue is class? Or is that tacky too?

This woman's "job" is to keep her mouth shut, smile and look pretty. Nothing else to it. She never has to work or do anything for the rest of her life so long as she does the 3 things I mention here. So she isn't going to arse selling a story now is she?

I'm so bored of hearing about these people. Meanwhile people struggle to eat and heat their homes, but hey let's worship this woman for putting on a frock and smiling. I find this whole royal thing utterly bizarre and very outdated.

Kate had topless photos taken and published. I really felt for her then because it is something I would have been furious and really upset about. But people still blamed her for being topless in the first place. I don't follow the Royals a lot -maybe that's why I just don't get people saying she has had it so easy and Meghan has had it so hard

What is the crown if not THE symbol of justice

@Inspecto this is such an odd and inexplicable comment. I quite like the RF but in no way do I see them as a symbol of justice. A symbol of power, maybe. As I said, I don't mind them but they represent power and privilege, not sure how justice comes into it at all.

I love that coat.

@Ohnonevermind Drip feeding to the Daily Mail is the RF tell-all equivalent. They just keep it coming. Episodes of Eastenders as opposed to a one-off documentary.
The Daily Mail is tacky as they come.

Well as my old Mum use to say you can’t buy class!!

Interesting but meaningless expression to be fair. It means different things to different people. For some it means being groomed and staying quiet on all matters. For others it means righting wrongs. For others, including me, it means being altruistic, which is certainly not something the RF are.

I watched it all, and my opinion of H&M hasn’t changed.
I understand absolutely why they left, and did at the time too. But think they couldn’t have gone about it in a worse way.
They had absolutely no plan, put out a statement trying to force RF hand, and it ultimately backfired and caused a shit storm, and more bad press for everyone involved.

The other thing that really stuck out for me was saying how much the press attention had affected them, and their mental health etc from half truths printed about them, but have then gone on to do the same thing to W&K.
Particularly when M got really upset that a troll comment had said she needs to die.
I believe her upset at that 100, and couldn’t imagine dealing with it.

So then why encourage people to do the same to Kate? They know first hand how damaging it is.
All of this ‘someone said something racist, but we won’t say who’ and ‘that’s your brother’ talk, they know it’s going to encourage the same sort of behaviour to be heaped into the RF.

Maybe they think it’s payback, and they deserve it, but there are kids involved here, I wouldn’t have thought they would purposely do it to someone else 🤷‍♀️

the daily Mail is tacky all right, we’ve never brought it into our house

I’ve subscriptions to the WP, NYT, Irish times, economist and Irish independent but I can’t link to articles as they’re behind a firewall unless they’re the free ones

The DM is free and driven by clicks so a completely different model

The other thing that stuck out for me was how hard the litigation process was, H said he believes the stress of it all was what caused M to miscarry, and I just think, this is probably why the RF advised you not to do it.
They knew it would make press intrusion worse, not better, and I genuinely think they were trying to protect them by telling them not to go to court.

Now, whether they were right or not in that advice is debated, because ultimately M won the case, but at what cost?
I do think they were trying to do right by then with that advice

That's what I thought. Looks nice, but must be sooooo cold 🥶

He didn't criticise her, but he referred to her paranoia as being resultant of Martin Bashir's lies. He was talking about her mental heath which I thought was something positive rather than critical.

I don’t understand why addressing racism and challenging it head on is undignified. Are you saying it’s best just to let it fester? I’m sure Kate has endured her share of racism then, as it’s simply the price of fame, apparently…

You must be outside UK. Otherwise you'd be very aware of the huge impact the royal family has on the charities they founded and support.

|Google "The Princes Trust" "Save the Children" "Carers Trust"

@PicturesOfDogs I agree with you

So then why encourage people to do the same to Kate? They know first hand how damaging it is.

All of this ‘someone said something racist, but we won’t say who’ and ‘that’s your brother’ talk, they know it’s going to encourage the same sort of behaviour to be heaped into the RF.

Maybe they think it’s payback, and they deserve it, but there are kids involved here, I wouldn’t have thought they would purposely do it to someone else

This ^.

They have proudly produced hateful content designed to stir up hatred against Kate, William and their children. It's unforgivable and was an act of revenge. I do believe that Harry feels let down by William and Charles and things have been difficult for them but the Sussexes have dealt with everything in the absolute worst possible way and continue to do so.

Genuine question - when and where did he do that?
And what did he say?

This is what I was thinking.

Was there an actual response? Have I missed something?

Or has she just turned up at an event?

Might be in your eyes - certainly not mine.

This is what William said

I personally don’t see it as him criticising Diana, he was criticising Bashir, and how Diana was manipulated. Tbh I think he’s in a much better position to know if she was paranoid etc than anyone else here.

Interesting to hear how people see it differently though
