The sudden unusual turn on Princess Kate

[Whatt]

Today, I wanted to share something thought-provoking that has caught my attention recently - a noticeable change in the way the media portrays Kate Middleton.

Some publications that previously showed favor towards Kate (DM cough, cough) have started publishing stories that present her in a more critical light. It's an interesting shift.

Firstly, there's a story circulating about an encounter between Kate and a convicted murderer at a charity event. Additionally, there's talk of the taxpayer potentially providing support for her family's struggling business. This raises questions about the circumstances surrounding their business venture and the implications it may have for public funds.

What's intriguing is the parallel being drawn between Kate's current media treatment and the scrutiny faced by Meghan Markle in the past. It's worth discussing whether there's a connection or simply a coincidence.

Furthermore, there's some buzz on Twitter suggesting that Kate may have unintentionally upstaged the King during the Chelsea Flower Show. While it may seem like harmless gossip, it's interesting to consider the impact of such events on the monarchy's reputation. Some even speculate that Camilla might have been involved in the leak of these stories, adding an extra layer to the intrigue.

Taking a step back, it's worth pondering whether the monarchy should be concerned about being upstaged in this day and age. Are we witnessing a shift in priorities and expectations?

Perhaps the discussion can't take place because there is no real discussion to be had?

well that post is goady in my opinion.

I don’t see the point attacking people’s families regardless (and if attacking her family is the best people can do, well maybe that actually reflects WELL on Kate…) but apart from James the Middletons have stayed out of the spotlight, they’re not public figures and they aren’t members of the royal family

The Middletons can easily downsize to pay back those that they owe! How can any decent and fair person continue to live a £5m home knowing that they owe taxpayers and small businesses. Those small businesses rely on that money for their own survival. It disgusts me how millionaires continue to take advantage of the working class and vulnerable.

The Middletons deserve scrutiny and yes it does reflect badly on Kate. She took her mum and sister to a wedding in Jordon. Who paid for their travel etc… was it the taxpayer or did they pay out of their own pocket? We have a right to know. If they can afford to go to such an extravagant occasion abroad, then they can certainly give back the £20 000 they owe the Afghan refugee and any debts owed to other small, struggling businesses and as well as tax payer.

They deserve the criticism and scrutiny for as long as they live like millionaires whist owing money to those that are considerably less well off.

Shame on them! They are no different to the Tories lining their own pockets and living comfortably whilst cheating those that are already struggling to survive as it is.

I have no sympathy for them. Unlike others who were hit during the pandemic (and I know many, myself included) the Middletons can sell their properly, pay off their debts and still be able to live comfortably. They won’t do this though.

Nobody knows why the Middleton’s business failed but I’m sure the pandemic and cost of living crisis played a part. Not sure of the relevance and why it’s being discussed on here. Unless it’s being used as a stick to beat Catherine with 🤷🏻‍♀️

A big jealous stick !

As far as I’m concerned, as soon as it became acceptable to scrutinise every small detail concerning non-tax funded Harry and Meghan, their charities, friends and associates then everyone from that family became fair game!

The actual tax funded Royals will not escape the same level of scrutiny. It’s open season now.

The institution and media chose to open Pandora’s box, there’s no closing it when it comes to their own conduct, business dealings, connections, personal wealth etc.

Do you think it’s acceptable to scrutinize every detail of H&M’s lives. That’s what you seem to be saying here.

The royal family's finances and dealings have been scrutinised for as long as I can remember.

Let's face it Harry and Meghan opened the Pandora's box of scrutinising everything to do with the royal family on a personal level. Exposed family secrets. Lied about aspects of royal life. Threw as much mud as they possible could and did their best to destroy the reputation of Harry's own family.

Therefore it's perfectly acceptable for people to give equal scrutiny to their lives and their finances.

As the saying goes, people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

It's always tit for tat on here lately.

I think it reflects pretty well on Kate to be honest, it means there’s nothing to criticise her for.

But it’s so comical. “Someone punched me so I’m going to find someone random to take it out on.” What do the Middletons have to do with Meghan?

Or, someone insulted someone I like. So I’m going to insult someone I think you care about. Yet, who cares?

I think it’s all intentionally to draw a false parallel between two women who have nothing in common.

Yep! , I've been off for awhile ( life !) and when I come back it's the same crap being repeated over again!

Was wondering where you’ve been. I’ve been on too much.

I've read with interest! 🤣 , I was unsurprised when a poster said it was inappropriate to discuss Diana's parenting because she had died only then to pop up themselves to criticise the queen's parenting ( even though she's also died!)

I'm very pleased to see polka back though ! 👍

Same I’ve been on here way too much lately… the baby is going through a light sleeping “phase” 😂

MN don’t seem to take it seriously but I suppose it doesn’t really matter at the end of the day. Some days on here are still nice!

I remember those days @tigger2022 , my sympathies my dd ( now 12!!!) didn't sleep for a year! , I'm surprised I didn't actually have a breakdown.

It’s actually very simple.
There is a glaring difference.

We don’t fund Harry and Meghan!

The billionaire royals continue to take taxes and have shamelessly agreed to a 45% pay rise when they own billions in wealth and assets!

….and no, there has been no thorough investigation into their hidden wealth and they have refused to be transparent. In fact there are laws in place to protect them from being fully transparent. We can thank the Tories for that…now there’s a surprise!

Anyway, not to change the subject, I find the Middletons behaviour in this regard, to be shameful.

They can afford to pay off their debts by selling their home and downsizing but choose not to. They are happy to go flying across the world to a royal wedding with Kate (royal engagement), not caring if their actions will be seen insensitive to those who are actually struggling due to money owed to them by the Middletons.

Also, as tax payers, we have a right to know if the Middletons were personally invited by the Jordanians and if they paid for their own travel and expenses.

Harry was amply funded most of his life. Does that mean you agree with every purchase and every trip being questioned unless he repays it?

Why did they turn up at a royal engagement that our taxes fund (travel, security, etc)?

These are legitimate questions.

Were they there as private citizens or did we pay for them in any shape, way or form?
We as tax payers have a right to know.
Frankly, the Middletons, Kate and William should have been willingly transparent at the time.
I would hate to think the Middletons were taking advantage of their royal connections.
