Either before or after William appeared on the scene? Mn is very disparaging about the Middleton's so following on from the has anyone met Meghan thread... Has anyone met the Middleton's or Kate?

My old boss met William and Kate as part of a charity thing once, she said William was polite and interested in her work, and apparently smelled nice (?!), and Kate would parrot things back to her ("I work in xxx", "Oh you work in xxx, lovely") and looked bored.

ShirleyPhallus · 11/01/2023 09:10

I met Kate through work once and she was perfectly polite but vanilla. It must be hard though having someone’s entire opinion of you formed on one meeting

Surely someone has made acquaintance with them seeing as mn so knowledgeable about their personalities..

OH served Kate in Sainsburys multiple times before she got married. A very nice and polite woman.

❤️Carole. And why shouldn't she have heirs, she birthed the future queen consort ffs & her Grandchildren are all in line to the throne. More reason than most to have airs!

Nobody should have airs! The royals aren’t actually better than us!

Kateforqueen · 11/01/2023 09:30

I think the consensus was that they both mixed in aristocratic circles.. But Pippa's set was the country set that used to go shooting & have huge parties at stately homes most weekend

MuckyPlucky · 11/01/2023 09:31

OP - is the brief for the article centered around doing a compare-and-contrast between Kate & Meghan? Or is it with a view to digging some Middleton dirt to try to divert attention away from the inconsistencies in Harry’s claims?

ConsistentlyClumsy · 11/01/2023 09:37

Met Kate via a charity I volunteer for. She was warm, inquisitive, and (as someone said earlier) humble. She also genuinely seems to have a very good understanding of child development - to be honest, this was really refreshing to see.

Internetstranger · 11/01/2023 09:37

Met Kate and William at an event a few months before they got married. I was really startled by how tall they both were, especially her!

Personality-wise both were absolutely lovely and trying so hard to make everyone feel comfortable. They were a pleasure to be around to be honest.

Have met a few albeit briefly and at various charity events. Harry was quite rushed and wanted to get the hands shaken and out the door. W and K v v chatty and well researched. KC very jolly. Sophie W lovely, spent a lot of time with people. No surprise to me that H acting like a pillock tbh.

Rubbish, she pisses, farts and shites like the rest of us, she is no better than anyone else!

😂Tawdry Daily Fail fool's gold here at the moment. Did Harry and Meghan cause the floods - probably ?

JoyPeaceHealth · 11/01/2023 10:44

The accusation of ''new rich'' is just so pathetic. The Middletons spent their money on bricks and education.

If the worst thing Carol has ever done is ask for an extra till to be opened at Waitrose then that's just funny. She needs to get stoned with Harry. Take Ayauasca.

Highfivemum · 11/01/2023 11:03

She is a genuine nice polite lady. Trust me if she had any skeletons the press would have found them. She is a credit to the RF a and made for the role.

Well hyacinth Bucket would disagree with you!

A friend’s family member was sat with K&W at another royal wedding, reported back that Kate was friendly and experienced in small talk.

Completely agree with this. The Middleton's used education as a means to social mobility. More power to them. They invested heavily in their dc & raised beautiful children who won't let the side down.
Pippa's sister in law is Vogue William's ffs. With all Vogue & Spender's love of publicity they have never cashed in on their royal connections unlike chavvy H&M

It is great to live in 2023 and read how people actually describe being HUMBLE as a positive trait in a modern woman. Hopefully she also understands to walk two steps behind her husband and to never contradict anyone. Yikes!

barnbaby · 11/01/2023 12:48

I grew up in the area where William and Harry used to hang out when they were in res at Highgrove. Not at all surprised by the allegations that William had an affair, I know many girls who have 'Willy' stories. And that included when he was dating Kate.
I went to an event at the palace that William was officiating at and thought he was brilliantly well prepared and charming. But couldn't get the sex pest thing out of my head as there are so many stories about him where I live.

Annonnimouse · 11/01/2023 12:51

I’ve met all of the Middletons.

pippa and carol seemed cold uptight bitchy. Would not want to cross them.
Kate had queen bee Chelsea girl socialite vibes. Pleasant engaging and very confident.
Michael super affable and laid back

Puzzledandpissedoff · 11/01/2023 12:52

Yes, I met Kate on a Norfolk beach with George and Charlotte - Louis wasn't born then. Totally normal, extremely pleasant and very knowledgeable about local issues, which formed most of our chat

She also got out her purse and tried to pay for the ice creams I bought for the three kids (including mine). I refused of course ... Grin

ElaineMarley · 11/01/2023 12:52

I've been in the same room as Kate when she came to watch a match at my child's school last term. It was a bit awkward because most people were clearly scared to talk to her but she had a dog with her and that definitely helped.

That’s not at all what humble means . It means to have a modest option of yourself , to be frank far too many people have too high an option of themselves and their opinions in this world. Some other members of that family could do with a bit of humility .
