Kate is not going with william to Singapore as George has important exams. What exams would a 10 year old be sitting in November?
I know nothing about private school systems so hoping someone here does.

maybe they are taking a leaf out of K&W's book... giving the media a glimpse so their little children aren't hounded.

Haven't you just spent the thread criticising Kate and Will's approach?

So what was the Norfolk on the beach youtube video of K&W's children then?

It wasn't a 'big reveal' and it wasn't done for profit! No comparison.

It wasn't requested, it wasn't called for and of course a they get a massive paycheck from the taxpayer, no of course they don't need to do it for money.

Mike Tindall already does rugby podcasts that get high viewing figures.

Everything they do publicly is for profit, if we didn't pay them for their 'service' they wouldn't be showing their children at all, let alone as regularly as they do. What parent would?

No she hasn't.

everetting · 06/10/2023 13:45

I am not interested in criticising. But it is quote clear that the idea Kate never puts a foot wrong is not true. One example, the colonial tour.

And Zara has just taken up a modelling job for an upmarket outerwear brand... one of the coats is maroon... and the colour is called 'Windsor Wine'
You couldn't make it up!

The beach video of the children is for profit. It is all for profit whatever royal is doing it.
If they received zero money and access to mansions from us they would not release photos and videos of their children. They would just lead a private life.

Hounded ? I think you overestimate their importance !

Oh do give over!

A glimpse of H&M or their children would generate thousands if not millions. It would spawn endless articles. Endless speculation. Endless pictures. Endless clickbait for the starved of H&M media over here.
Who else gets 32 articles in one publication in a 24 hour period?

How many times are you going to mention the 32 articles in 24 hours ??
Look, Harry is currently 5th in the LOS. At the time of his birth the current Duke of Gloucester was 5th . He is now 31st . How much interest is there in him ?
The fact is that as the Wales DC grow up , marry etc , Harry and family will be irrelevant.

derxa · 06/10/2023 13:55

Roussette · 06/10/2023 13:40

What... like H&M get? The children are actors. They used surrogates. K&W don't have children, they just use other people's children to pretend they have. That sort of thing?
Doubtful.

Edited

Much worse than that. People can be awful.
Like it or not, the Wales children are the children of the heir to the throne and H&M's children are the children of people who have stepped away from royal life.
Anyway this is MN the place where criticism of people's parenting is an art form.

everetting · 06/10/2023 13:55

I agree Harry should be irrelevant. And yet people can't stop talking about him and meghan. Look at any article about Kate or William and there will be lots of comments about Harry and meghan.

Just to point out that Catherine does make the news.

This is just a quick view of the reports about her visit yesterday to the Disability Rugby League, which is a little charity event in the North of the UK, and yet it was reported in the US and probably elsewhere too..

@Mylovelygreendress

Gosh. Facts obviously annoy you!
I didn't know you knew me that well actually?

I haven't mentioned it for a month or two. But I will keep mentioning it because it illustrates the depths some of our media go to, and shows there is a multi million pound Meghan hate industry.

Sorry to disappoint. You will have to put up with it.

Harry & Meghan are living their life over there, it's people like you who are keeping the conversation going! You can't leave them alone!

You can shake your head, roll your eyes, throw your cuppa across the room and swear a lot, I don't mind 😂

But you will have to still read what I write if you are so inclined! Or feel free to ignore!

Zara and Mike are private individuals, they don't have titles, they can do what they like.

Roussette · 06/10/2023 14:06

Yes derxa, Zara is a beautiful woman.

I just find 'Windsor Wine' for a coat she is wearing for a modelling contract a bit much. Can you even begin to imagine if Meghan did this?

(Cue posters stcratching their heads desperately trying to think of an occasion similar for Meghan)

And they do. They are lucky in that they can use their royal privilege in all that they do.

I don't think having titles or not is anything to do with it.

everetting · 06/10/2023 14:07

Zara and Mike are as much members of the Royal family as Harry and meghan. But the latter get criticised for making money from their royal connections and the former do not.

Yes. They both do not do duties for the RF, two happen to have a title, two happen to not.
But Zara and Mike would not be able to live they life they do without their royal connections.

Iwantcakeeveryday · 06/10/2023 14:18

This is part of why I hate the monarchy. People actually believe in all these rubbish things. Nobody is irrelevant because they're not going to be King or Queen.
