Anyone else think Kate is coming across as a bit precious and over-sensitive? Baby brain, lip gloss etc.

I'll start by saying I know there are 2 sides to every story. Also, I'm not a Megan fan. I have no idea what she's like. She might be awful. I neither like her, nor dislike her. I feel the same way about Kate.

But anyway, in light of the stories that Harry is telling, does anyone else feel that Kate (and William) comes across as rather precious and over sensitive?

First of all there's the baby brain incident. Apparently Kate forgot something or made a mistake and Megan responded by saying "Oh don't worry, it's probably the baby brain". Kate then feels insulted by this remark and says something along the lines of "You don't me well enough to comment on my hormones". William joins in by pointing his finger at Megan and saying "It's rude Megan, we don't do that here." I mean seriously?? I think the baby brain remark was completely benign. I'm sure Megan was trying to reassure Kate not to worry about her mistake. Just after having my baby I paid for my shopping and walked out leaving it in the shop. The cashier had to call me back and I apologised. She also said "Don't worry, it's the baby brain". I wasn't at all offended. I was relieved she understood! I certainly didn't think "How dare a stranger comment on my hormones". The irony of William telling Megan off for rudeness whilst pointing his finger at her. I find it far more rude to point in someone's face than to mention baby brain. If I was Megan and had received that reaction to my innocent remark I would have felt humiliated and very upset.

Then there's the lipgloss incident. Megan asked to borrow Kate's lipgloss. Kate lends it to her then gets upset that she dabs it with her finger. I understand some people don't want to share lip gloss but Kate could have said no. I don't understand what's so upsetting about Megan using her finger? If I lent someone my lip gloss I'd insist they used their finger and not their mouth. Apparently the mouth harbours more germs than your average toilet.

Then there's the report that William and Kate were uncomfortable being hugged by Megan. There are literally hundreds of photos of William and Kate hugging random strangers on the internet! Yet when Megan makes this faux pas it's offensive to them.

It seemed like William and Kate expected to be treated with great formality by Megan - as if she was one of their subjects. It also seems that Megan couldn't do anything right! Megan on the other hand perhaps expected a little more intimacy given that they were her partner's family. It doesn't sound like they did much to make her feel comfortable and welcome in to the family. Does anyone agree/disagree?

@PennysMadJourney she was absolutely right to keep her at arms length.

Meghan Markle’s the girl who kissed a prince and turned him into a frog. Makes a great story for the tabloids. Less good for the fairytales. I’m not convinced arguing he was always a frog anyway helps, especially when he is saying that he was always the one who got picked on, because the rest of his family are actually toads.

Completely agree. The degree to which members of the public who have unlikely set eyes upon them let alone know them, defend or attack them with venom and passion verges on mentally unstable.

A meeting of the 4 of them to air their differences. Ok. Then why did Meghan need lipgloss? I can imagine this to be scenario, where K&W are trying be friendly and to define boundaries. Asking to use lipgloss would be boundary crossing for many and discussed on this or another thread (I forget where). Kate not knowing exactly how to handle this agreed to lend hers, then pulled a bit of a face because her boundaries were being crossed… at a meeting to discuss boundaries. Meghan then takes this as evidence that they are mean and the two of them bear a grudge for 5 years about this amongst other things. The only other possible explanation is that this was a test and Kate failed.

We only know what Meghan told Harry, and what Harry told his ghost writer. Could be a long way from anything reassembling "truth".

I thought the lipgloss request was jst before they went on that tv interview where the four of them were sitting in a row and kate was preg

Correct! Not to mention their backtracking, especially on the racism allegation. Hence the Father Ted reference attached.

@DownNative the Queen mother story also, claiming he was at Eton & got a phone call from a courier who's name he convieniantly can't remember (Eton was also closed for the Easter hols). The actual truth was he was actually skiing in Klosters, Switzerland with KC & Willy...

Nope its gaslighting for a single woman with no children to bring up baby brain if she is not your gyno or therapist. Its not polite in america and i would never have tolerated it from anyone. Also i would never loan anyone my lipgloss.

It may be rude or inappropriate but in this context, it's not an abusive control tactic designed to get Kate to question her own sanity.
