Has anyone actually met Kate, Pippa or the Middletons?

[Littlepiggyinablanket]

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?

I was told it was Kate's uncle Gary that bankrolled the family, not any inheritance from the Middleton's. Gary adores his sister and gave her the money to set up the busines and send the children to private schools.

I have got an A in maths. I am averagely clever.

He was also arrested for domestic violence.

She started her business when the family lived in Jordan and she’d make party bags to order at the kitchen table.

This is so sweet!

I suspect I probably have as I attended her "local" church every Christmas and for other events. I also was in Guiding in the same district at the same time.

OK so far we bave

Carole = rude
Catherine and William = boring nice
Pippa = mixed bag

I want more H&M experiences!!

Ive net KC and Princess Anne. Both really lovely, humble and fully engaged in their visits

My brother was at St Andrews in the same year as William and Kate. He said Kate was a genuinely nice person and gorgeous, and he was envious of William.

He never got to know William as he was apparently surrounded by a close circle of friends who jealously guarded who had access. But on the couple of occasions when their paths crossed, William was friendly.

A friend went to school with Kate and said she is genuinely nice and definitely no skeletons in her closet. I think we are safe with this future Queen of England.

True I got a B an B in advanced maths but I did not go to the school she went to or shave the absolute shit tin of tutoring she had. She is genuinely a nice person but lacks the level intellectual curiosity or dynamism that would make her 'clever'. She is and was studious and dutiful in her studying and her now public life.

The whole family have superb self mastery and self discipline.

She is too good for Wills in all honesty

@BillLius 🤣Are you on drugs?

Mike Middleton is a lovely chap. He’s a very regular customer of our business. Polite, hands-on helping with his purchases, lovely follow -up ‘thank you ‘ emails. Patient if he arrives at a busy time and undemanding - happy to wait for a small delivery until we are in his area. If only all customers were like him.

On one occasion he said he really needed to get a particular item for the weekend because his grandson was coming and he needed to do the repair.
So sweet and just like any grandad.

And the fact is that they all sleep the same at night regardless of what we may think of them 😬

My sister has seen Kate and the kids several times at the Diana memorial play park in Kensington gardens. Not so much recently but quite a few times a couple of years ago. She said Kate always just blended in - and often people didn't even notice it was them- kids in normal joggers/hoodies which she said looked strange as we only see them in formal wear or school uniform!!!

I work in a fairly deprived area where none of the children give a shit about the monarchy. A girl I work with had gone with her mum to a drop in centre for young parents and met a visitor who was both 'an actual giant and a real princess.' The kid raved about this giant/princess for weeks and how nice she'd been. It was Kate Middleton she was talking about.

I’ve met Princess Anne! 😀. She came to a charity event and asked if she could take her lunch away in Tupperware boxes. She was very low key and her only request was a separate private toilet. Her security team were all lovely.

Also met Charles aka King and he was more formal, shorter than I expected and had an assistant (can’t remember the correct name) walk behind him with his glass on a cushion. Never forgotten that 😊

Haven’t met the rest yet.

Sums it all up perfectly!

I'm Irish UMC, and I don't think Vogue Williams is. Santa Sabina isn't a fee paying school, and her parents didn't have professional qualifications or careers. Sutton, Bayside, Malahide are all MC areas on the north side of Dublin. Vogue is middle class and seems a nice person.

Sutton Park school otoh is fee paying (and gulp).

Yes. Someone has.

Carol is still very senior cabin crew...

Well clearly somebody is giving herself airs here.

I met Kate. She was awful. Very similar to Holly Willoughby in that they both go out and wear the big smile and seem really bubbly but behind the scenes are moody divas

No, Carole really is rude.
She took the piss out of my (Northern) accent and pretended she couldn't understand me.

By contrast I've spoken to Princess Anne (on Islay) and she was lovely and not at all grand.

My ex bf met K&W in a work environment about two years ago. He said they were both incredibly polite, very tall, and in conversation they made you feel like the most important person in the room.

Sutton Park is only €12,000 per annum?

Seems very reasonable for an expensive city. Perhaps it’s a different one I’ve found.
