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?

There is no reason for anyone to Lord it over anyone else. Having money and status doesn’t make anyone an intrinsically better person
than someone who doesn’t have those things. Class is actually treating everyone with respect and kindness.

Wasn't Vogue Williams very rude to a man on a flight fairly recently? Told him to move seats. Spencer Matthews father (Pippa Middleton's bil) was accused of rape (if I rememember correctly) by an employee of his hotel in France. All very hushed up in press and not sure of court case outcome.

Apart from that, they all seem lovely!

Some very snobbish digs on here about Carole being a former air hostess

Waitrosenotsainsbos · 11/01/2023 18:40

Used to come into the local Waitrose all the time before she was "officially engaged". And I know from from a taxi driver to pick her and her sister up from Marlborough college. Witty very self aware her and he mum used to read over the magazine's tabloids etc. Sharp as a diamond. Her mum social climber....

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.

Sure.

BIL met them while they were waiting for a helicopter as he’s a policeman. There was a delay and Kate made him a cup of tea.

Whichwhatnow · 11/01/2023 19:02

I worked with Pippa's boyfriend for a while, during the period Kate was engaged to and then married to William. Apparently both Middleton girls were perfectly nice and amiable in a fairly unremarkable 'jolly hockey sticks' kind of way (much as he was tbh).

Booksbythebed · 11/01/2023 19:06

Really, who cares that Carole was an airhostess? Its an honest living. Once upon a time (and almost certainly when she entered the profession) it was considered pretty glamourous.

I don't fly BA, usually aer lingus or ryanair and they are all lovely. I just feel bad that the women are forced to wear heels and uncomfy looking clothes on some airlines.

My neighbour was graced with a home visit by W&K. The door was open so we could stand outside and watch. There was a dog in the lounge and it shat on the floor then wandered off outside. William said aren’t you going to get your dog? My dog? said the neighbour. I don’t have a dog, I thought it was yours.

Then they left.

I really hope this story is true, made me laugh!

Booksbythebed · 11/01/2023 19:10

My mum was once at a dinner with princess Di and as Diana walked past her on the way out, she said to whoever she was with, something like, phew, thank god that is over!

I once was walking through Dublin and H and M were on a visit so I hung around to watch as they got out of the car. But they didn't come anywhere near me (or more disappointingly, to the two little american girls next to me who were so excited to see a real princess)

Carol is still very senior cabin crew - Kate is nice, private not clever but not dim either, the children are everything.
William is dull a bit entitled but in a polite way - not as opinionated as Charles - mid level Bank manager material in real life.

😅 spot on

GoingtotheWinchester · 11/01/2023 19:17

@Kateforqueen the world is so crazy nowadays that I can’t tell if you’re being serious but of course her being Kate’s mother makes her nothing special at all. She has no right to think she’s above any of us mere mortals just because her calculations paid off.

None of them are anything special. The sycophancy blows my fucking mind.

❤️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!

How sad. You have obviously brought into the idea that these people are somehow or other above you.

WeWereInParis · 11/01/2023 19:30

I saw Kate, her parents, and the three children at a family attraction thing near where her parents live (farm, playground, indoor play area type place).
Louis is a bit older than my DD and was on the same bit of playground equipment as her. He was very sweet towards her when she got stuck on a bit that was a bit big for her. I talked to Kate's dad (Michael?) a bit and he seemed friendly but it was only general playground pleasantries about Louis and my DD.
Kate and her mum were inside watching the two older children play.

Not clever?? Based on what exactly? She got an A in A level Maths which is not easy, I doubt you’d be able to get that.

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 11/01/2023 19:31

I think her sister owns that place.

Can we get some inside intel on Kate's hair care regimen please?
She does have beautiful hair! I know it's genetic and brilliant hairdresser on call etc. But I'm still curious.

It’s called extensions (nowadays looks more like a wiglet tbh) and there’s nothing wrong with that. We could all use the help if we’ve got the money for it

It’s disgusting.

Some really don’t like a woman going up in the world, do they? Hmm

notsosoftanymore · 11/01/2023 19:48

Friend of mine lives next village along from the Middletons in Berkshire. She says they are well known locally as being perfectly OK, normal people. There is a nice story about Kate's father going into the local pub not long after George was born. Some of the other locals were showing each other pics of their grandchildren and Michael M pulled a pack of pics out of his pocket saying 'oh we've got a George too'.

You’re so obsessed you’re posting on threads about them and you’re mocking me for knowing anything about them?

Well it’s a sexist, rude comment to assume she’s “dim”. Why? Because she’s an attractive female she can’t be intelligent?

This. Well done to the Middleton's, all they wanted was the very best for their three children. They worked hard & put family first & foremost.
