Message of support for Kate if she reads this

[Kateforqueen]

Kate you are playing a blinder, keep schtum & keep having the stiff upper lip. The queen would be so proud of you & William right now.
Your silence is speaking volumes. If someone I barely knew attempted to hug me, I would recoil, it's not appropriate as is overfamiliarity.
You have a great circle of friends from childhood & school you can trust who have your back & a wonderful family who raised you beautifully.
Millions of British people are so proud of how you are winning & owing this. Stay strong Kate, you've got this.

Cringing on your behalf

Second this.

I think this is the first time I’ve actually laughed out loud at a thread title on MN. Christ.

Thanks OP, appreciated. Kx

I can't believe I'm commenting on this thread but there you go...!

I've just googled the to see what all the fuss was about re the messages. The text exchange published does make Kate seem really unreasonable. And M wasn't sobbing because of that, but because she was dealing with all the shite around her father, and then stroppy messages from her SIL re a bloody dress.

And it's threads with OPs like these that just demonstrate how MM never had a chance.

Do you actually understand what a chav is?!
i think you can find a better word for that behaviour… I don’t think “chavvy” is it

Do you honestly think she gives two hoots what you or any other peasants think of her?

She's not Mother Theresa.

Hi Kate,
I think you're terribly pretty and always very well-dressed. Keep on trucking!

Preggings

Obsequious bullshit.

Yes point taken, it was probably all a part of why she needed up crying. Maybe these texts were just the straw that broke the camels back 🤷🏻‍♀️

It's actually the very opposite of obsequious...

OP, have you been out of the house recently? I think you need a brisk walk.

So belitting a poster who actually has something nice to say? Stay classy Mumsnet..."

Re read the OP. Is it nice? Or is it a huge dig at MM who didn't have a "wonderful family" to bring her up properly. The post is the definition of sly bitchiness. Nowt classy there.

Omg I just burst out laughing on a train because this is so fucking true I would put money on op being exactly like that 🤣🤣🤣

I have absolutely no idea where the truth lies in any of this. But I definitely have more respect for people keeping a dignified silence than for people selling all their private family arguments to a publisher or documentary crew....

The sycophantic tone of the OP has made me feel nauseous. This must be a wind up.

The Duchess of Cambridge gives not one fuck about what us plebs think as long as she continues to get to live in the lap of luxury whilst doing as little work as possible.

Anyone reading those text messages needs to take them with a huge pinch of salt. I would also like to see the text messages before this little snippet. Meghan’s messages were rude and aggressive so I dread to think what the ones were that she wasn’t prepared to share.
I object that a then four year old needs to be dragged into this feud by H&M that is so wrong, low and unnecessary.

If someone I barely knew attempted to hug me, I would recoil

Oh the irony.

The Take That comment is gold.

Probably Moscow.

This

Yep

Oh this really made me laugh!

What has become of MN, it has turned into a monarchy fansite!

To me both Kate and her DH never come over as genuine. She always has a smug look about her

I agree with you there, it's bad enough when your mum tells your friends about a story from your childhood when you had a "strop" as a toddler.

For it to be forever immortalised in a book that when you were 3/4 you cried because your flower dress girl didn't fit for your aunty's wedding. Is harsh on the kid.

We all know what kids are like, what if one of her schoolmates who isn't too nice finds out, will they tease her "you cried because your dress didn't fit" kinda thing. 😳

You know Catherine (come, come now OP, get it right) despises you (and anyone who writes drivel the like of which I had the misfortune to read as the opening post), don’t you OP?

But I LOVE YOU for writing the most bat shit thread I’ve ever read on MN (been here since 2008 so that’s quite the accolade).

PS. I think the PoW seems status driven and calculating. Not once have I warmed to her. I too would hug a soon to be SIL.

PPS I think her ‘helpful’ directions about the bridesmaids dresses were a masterclass in passive aggressive unpleasantness.

PPPS. I’d not be keen on taking sartorial advice off a woman who makes McQueen look like Karen Millen (she does a fair job in Jenny Packham tbf).
