Kate 'resents' not having final moment to say goodbye to Queen

Kate, 41, remained in Windsor to look after her children while the immediate family headed to be at the late monarch's bedside - says Robert Jobson in new book, Our King.

Is there nothing that they won't blame Meghan for? Zara Phillips wasn't there but Kate should've been?

I thought she stayed behind so she could be with her children on their first day at a new school. The sort of thing most mothers would do.

A lot of these stories that are coming out about Kate (whether true or not) seem to paint her in such a way that suggests her feelings trump those of others or more specifically, Harry.

Harry was the queens grandson, not Kate.

I'm assuming the press are running out of things to write about Meghan since she's not been visible recently so are doing these 'Kate was furious etc because of Meghan' stories instead.

Whaeanui · 17/04/2023 13:04

I wonder if this thread will get inundated with new people and pulled too?

RYGO · 17/04/2023 13:05

Read that article. It's not Kate, it's Charles. He didn't want Meghan there and he used Kate to do it.

It's all bunkum though isn't it? William & Harry were the only grandchildren there. All the others missed out. So little to do with Kate & Meghan really.

Baabaa75 · 17/04/2023 13:09

Oh please, I'm sure Kate was sad, everyone was, but at the end of the day how many of us feel the need for private time with your DPs granny before her death 🤔

custardbear · 17/04/2023 13:09

I can't believe granddaughter in law has a place at a deathbed - if you go to that width of people being there the whole castle would be full of people which isn't really what anyone would want

From the messages coming out (albeit I'm not a fan of listening to the press!) jet leaves for balmoral without Harry because they were waiting too long for PH and time was an issue.
PH said he and MM would come (possible this argument caused the place to leave without PH?!)
KC said no MM attending
PH kicked off with his entitled-ness and something about PH 'not tolerating' Charles telling him no (again, entitled petulant child)
No wives were there

It's just spiteful and it's only purpose is to be negative about Meghan. Again.

Yup, yet again this board has another whole thread based on a stupid article blaming Meghan for someone else’s sadness. It’s just…

Mumsnut · 17/04/2023 13:14

It’s rubbish, because even if she’d gone, she wouldn’t have seen the Queen alive to say goodbye to. Both planes were too late

so why would she still be resentful
as they allege?

Whaeanui · 17/04/2023 13:16

@RYGO why on earth do you give anything this man writes any credit at all? You must know it’s all crap. Are you royalist or anti-royalist? This doesn’t help them

purpledalmation · 17/04/2023 13:18

Ffs. More speculative crap

Tinpanalley · 17/04/2023 13:20

I’m sure this story is complete rubbish. I think she would have prioritised being home to support her children. First week in a new school, just lost their great grandmother.

KrasiTime · 17/04/2023 13:20

But only William & Harry were there from all the grandchildren? Why on Earth would an in law be there if not the actual gc? Lot of Kate stories at the moment not always painting her in a good light.

Spcd · 17/04/2023 13:24

Two of the Queen's children didn't even make it to see the Queen before she died - and none of the grandchildren did, yet Kate, a grandaughter-in-law is 'resentful' that she didn't get to say goodbye? (Oh and blames someone who had no part in the decision over who even travelled) The article is ridiculous.

kirinm · 17/04/2023 13:28

Are there always this many 'Kate feels x (because of Meghan) or is this new?

Roussette · 17/04/2023 13:31

What complete and utter bollocks this all is. Do these idiots like Jobson and Bower have a gas bill to pay or something? Which is why they are desperately making up stuff that is actually backfiring because it is making them look stupid. And does Kate no favours

Bottom line... Meghan has played a blinder by being low profile for months and they are desperately trying to find something to write about her. Well done her for turning down the Coronation.

SavBlancTonight · 17/04/2023 13:31

I refuse to read the articles, but from headlines alone, there seem to be a lot of "Kate's feelings" stories. is this all from the new book? And where is this bollocks coming from? I don't have a "side" in this and broadly speaking, I like Kate albeit I think her and William could have handled things with H&M differently, but these "her feelings were hurt" "this was so hard for her" stuff is just WEIRD. it could be true, it could be false but it's a) not news and b) it's never backed up and it's ridiculous.

SaveMeFromMyBoobs · 17/04/2023 13:31

All just ridiculous click-fodder.

Journalists don't have to justify their stories or back them up in anyway. They can write all the shit they like, and they dislike Megan.

'Megan made Kate cry about her wedding'. I mean normal weddings bring high emotions and opinions, never mind one this public and everything else going on at the time. Someone was always going to 'make someone cry' at some point, its hardly high class journalism to guess there were tears behind the scenes!

'Megan is why Kate couldn't go to balmoral'. Really? Not the fact that she had 3 young children on their first day at a new school? Or the fact that they were unlikely (and didn't) make it in time to say bye anyway? It wasn't her grandmother.

'Megan won't come because Kate would have made her sit at the back'. I somehow doubt Kate is that petty, would do something that obvious or have that much say. It's not her coronation. She is not the heir to the throne. Harry is coming to watch his dad, megan is staying behind with the kids, one of whoms birthday it is. They already went several days without seeing the kids when the queen died and they extended their stay. How many mums on mumsnet say they couldn't bear to leave their under 5 year olds to go on a hen party abroad or honeymoon etc? Why is her wanting to stay with the kids so unimaginable?

It's all ridiculous made up nonsense that they know sells.

Roussette · 17/04/2023 13:33

It's getting worse and worse the closer to the Coronation we are getting. At least it stops anything being written about Camilla I s'pose ho hum

When my own mum died, my instinct was to be with my children to protect them as I knew they'd be upset. It's incomprehensible to me that a woman who is generally acknowledge to be a hands on parent would NOT immediately prioritise her children when her children's great grandmother dies and there is likely to be emotional fall out AND a massive immediate uptick in press interest. I would think that even if William had wanted her to come with him she would have said no.

Jonson is flogging his new book so he need to say controversial things to keep himself and his book in the headlines during its launch period.
