Was there anything Kate didn't excel at?

Having read many articles Kate (pippa & James also) is so accomplished since she was tiny.
She is very sporty.. strong swimmer, excellent skier, hockey player, lacrosse, athletics, netball.. Plays piano very well & also was lead in schools drama production. Excelled at art.
It seems the Middleton's didn't do much in the way of equistrian sports?
Would love my dc to be as accomplished & well rounded. Can't afford Marlborough or any private for that matter!

Louis is looking a lot like a young Prince Andrew there. He has changed a lot since the Jubilee!

They all look like each other. They've got a sort of empty bit of face. The women have it too.

Not a horse rider, no, but a pretty decent all rounder. It indicates that Kate was born with natural abilities and was given opportunity and she did her homework, went to sports training, is a team player. She also learnt to be loyal to her family, to be kind, give back to the community and to focus on what makes her happy - William and gardening. It sounds old fashioned, a bit fuddy duddy but Kate makes a secure home and that makes secure, lucky kids. There are plenty of successful people like her - living their own kind of dream.

George has Grandad Middleton’s good looks - lucky boy! He’s a lovely looking kid.

He is an exceptionally beautiful child. Lets hope he keeps that gorgeous hair for longer than dad.

I always think it's weird how both sides of the extreme Team Kate/Meghan teams use exactly the same types of comment to denigrate both women - lazy, not very bright, etc etc.

They are actually both very similar in terms of university education and achievement. Both did well enough academically at school to get into a very good university, both graduated with a good degree, both were financially supported by their hardworking families so that they didn't leave with student debt. Both have better academic records than their respective spouses.

Chelsea was the brightest & most successful of the brothers girlfriends. She also had the common sense to run a mile from the Windsors

Have a friend who was at university with her in SA. Loveliest girl on the planet, obviously majorly academically bright but no common sense and very naive. You could convince her of anything but the loveliest person ever.

Oh stop. He's a perfectly pleasant looking child in a very everyday kind of way.

I know I was the person who said he was a good looking boy but I agree with this. He actually reminds me of two different kids in my own child's class at school. They look very like him or he looks like them so he obviously isn't exceptionally anything other than an heir. But he is a lovely looking, photogenic child and better still looks very like Kate's father who is a handsome man.

Plitvice · 21/03/2023 09:23

He reminds me of my own DS at that age who is an absolute heartbreaker.

I still think that he clearly stands out within his sibling/cousin/second cousins group. Nobody has to agree.

Roussette · 21/03/2023 09:25

Awww @Plitvice* I bet he is. I miss the little children stage. Sigh.

Personally, I don't see George in Kate's dad at all. But Louis oh my goodness yes. He's the spit of him to my mind.

All three are lovely looking kids.

😊. I think that Louis looks exactly like Prince Andrew from the most recent photos. Apparently, Andrew was considered handsome for many years so it is a compliment.

He was the most handsome of the 4 of them, until his reputation and behaviour sort of put paid to that!

Yes, I see it, there is an element of Andrew when he was young, in Louis

I think Charlotte is going to be absolutely stunning when she's older.

My favorite royal child is Zara's eldest, she seems like such a character

Yes, I think that she is a mix of HMQ and Pippa.

She is very like Margaret's daughter Sarah Armstrong-Jones.

Sure all children are lovely. It’s weird we see these stranger’s kids grow up. Anne had the right idea though obviously not really an option for George.

BadgerB · 21/03/2023 14:54

Just wish someone could encourage George not to wrinkle his nose so much. It's probable nervousness but it doesn't do him any favours

I know what you mean but it’s probably better that they don’t put any extra pressure on him by making him nervous about what his face is doing when they are in public.

Agree with this. Louis looks very very much like Papa Middleton. Charlotte is the spit of William (& like photos I've seen of Diana at a similar age). George I think looks like a mix of Catherine & William (maybe slightly more like Catherine?)

Lovely photos.

Well she's not going to be that stunning then! Sarah is very stylish but she was never the beauty that her mother was.

The kids are all perfectly nice-looking but it's a bit weird the way people fawn over them like they're anything out of the ordinary.
