She’s married to a multimillionaire really why should it be anyone’s business.

Jack Brooksbank is not that wealthy. He manages some sort of time share business in Portugal. Not sure why it's relevant in any case.

Not sure why she's been berated for wanting to not use plastic. Isn't that what we're all striving for? Or have I missed something? Is it because she is part of the RF that we can mock her for saying that over "Rebecca down the road"?

To be fair if Rebecca down the road said her two year old was going to be an environmental activist we may eye roll internally.

I think most of us try to cut down on plastic nowadays but her comments were a little amusing.

I think it’s more the fact that she is well known for taking holidays involving flights, that she apparently commutes between Portugal and the UK and has now mysteriously turned up in Davos to discuss whatever it is she was discussing in Davos that couldn’t be discussed just as well on Skype.

“no plastics” is a noble cause, she has a long long way to go to balance her massive carbon footprint so it’s good she is making a start.

I thought he was in drink. He works for George Clooney in his drinks business, doesn’t he?

George Clooney doesn't own that business anymore.

I think Brooksbank was a glorified salesman, and now he's a glorified timeshare manager! Hence the move to Portugal.

You’re right @IcedPurple. My knowledge is obviously out of date.

Personal preference whether plastic versus wooden toys are best, (leaving environmental reasons aside).
A mixture of the best of both is lovely especially if you can access preloved items.
When it comes to hygienic reality- (unscripted children’s body fluid episodes), plastic is generally easier to sanitise without ruining the toy.

Middle class mums have been saying this for twenty plus years

I likes the comment about trying to make her wedding eco friendly. Instead of bottled water, they had water in aluminium cans. What wrong with jugs of tap water?

Is she the dark haired one

Yes she is

And they've only said due this summer

TooBigForMyBoots · 25/01/2023 18:32

That's what eco parents say until they're hit in the face with a wooden block then it's duplo all the way.

She and her sister exited the Queen's funeral very quickly at the end - presumably morning sickness, so probably early Summer. Lots of assumptions going on there! Grin

Totally agree. Those wooden blocks really hurt.

I know someone who ended up having to have a toe amputated because of stepping on a piece of Lego 😮
