Does anyone else think Catherine looks unhappy these days? Her smile seems forced and she looks like she has lost her sparkle.

I would be stressed too. Lots of nastiness from Sussex Squad about Louis and the Wales' were late (or was Charles early?) which is a faux pas.

I meant the nastiness was about the Jubilee

Viviennemary · 09/05/2023 13:10

I know the Sussex squad are the Meghan groupies. But I didn't think they were on MN. Clutches pearls in horror.or is it just twitter and Reddit type places.

Bollocks. Of course they didn't.

She looks fine to me. Happy and confident.

" would imagine she was absolutely knackered - not only physically but the stress of remembering everything for herself and controlling her DC (OK Louis! )"
Yep-must be so hard to do all that with no staff at all!

In front of millions of people second-guessing your every move?

Doesn't matter what you do or don't do, someone will have to put some kind of stupid spin on it

DoesItHaveKosovo · 09/05/2023 13:15

If it were me I’d be lost in thoughts about having to do this at least another couple of times, and one of those times being because of William’s death.

Bluebells1970 · 09/05/2023 13:20

I'm sorry but having to make sure your DC were on their absolute best behaviour in front a global audience.... I'd have needed heavy doses of Prozac. I thought she did really well.

Grow up. Sussex squad! How ridiculous.

NotAClapper · 09/05/2023 13:24

No more so that the rest of the Royals (and lots of celebs) who are wheeled out to do ‘promotion’ and are gold where to look, how to stand and what you wear.

ConstanceReid · 09/05/2023 13:31

I think Kate is just fine. Perhaps being late for the coronation added a smidgeon of stress 😂 and I bet she was on edge about Louis behaving.

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 09/05/2023 13:50

I think she seems to handle it all really well. For all they have a team behind them day to day, clearly its all on them during high profile events, when it comes to the dc, and the world's media aren't just scrutinising her and her husband bit their children too

I'd not thank you for it. But she appears to handle it exceptionally well.

Evidently they arrived bang on time, C&C were 7/8 mins early.

FortheBeautyoftheEarth · 09/05/2023 13:57

No, I think she generally looks happy and like she's enjoying her role. Occasionally, because she's only human like the rest of us, she looks a bit tired and less animated. Strange how people latch onto things.

And then apparently said he was bored waiting in his golden carriage for them to arrive. 🤣

LadyVictoriaSponge · 09/05/2023 14:01

Just because she wasn’t grinning ear to ear during a solemn religious state occasion watched by millions globally doesn’t mean she looked stressed or tired, she looked stunning, regal and poised, your interpretation of stressed and tired is just Kate looking serious at a serious occasion.

It’s not ridiculous at all, they even have their own podcast.

No

Hbh17 · 09/05/2023 15:08

The Pss of Wales may well have been a bit stressed at the Coronation, but we should also remember that it was an intensely serious and sacred occasion. So those people who have criticised the senior royals, inc the King and Queen, clearly don't understand how important it was for all of them. It was not an appropriate time for big cheesy grins. They all looked more relaxed at the concert, and also the volunteering.

ElizabethBest · 09/05/2023 15:14

She looks fine! There were pictures the other day of her scrubbing Louis’s sticky fingers with a wet wipe, looking happy and capable and very much confident in her own skin.

AdoraBell · 09/05/2023 15:20

Did you see her at the Coronation concert OP?

Ontobetterthings · 09/05/2023 16:03

Mumsnet delights in a pile on.

No, mumsnet doesn't seem to.
Why is that hilariously funny?

And, really? All these people specifically mentioning how the PoW looked?

I don't know anybody who's interested in discussing the RF irl (other than a bit about the fashion or to comment on something major eg QEII's death).
That's why I read this board.
I did start a thread on why people post here and quite a few people said they post for the same reason.

Obviously, that's just my experience. But surprising how many people that you know commented on Catherine looking tired and unhappy. Did any of them mention any other part of the coronation or are they all only interested in C and her expression?

Fwiw, I thought she looked appropriately serious at times and very happy at others.

polkadotdalmation · 09/05/2023 16:29

At the beginning of the coronation, but she looked more relaxed at the end. I think everyone looked like rabbits in the headlights. Its been a pretty horrendous time with the queen dying and all the stress, but I hope she has a sigh of relief and a rest.

Haha I bet they didn't. You were just hoping people would agree with your opinion.

Her fans use that term. You are being ridiculous and need to grow up yourself before face checking.
