King Charles support of his daughter(in law) is so very touching.

Please keep the comments positive and on topic. We have all had enough vitriol for weeks now.

Yes, you’re right, the script really describes it well. He deserves no sympathy for describing William and Catherine’s marriage as some sort of establishment arrangement with no love involved. Considering all the crap Catherine went through for years because of her background it’s absurd. She was hardly from the sort of stock traditional royal matches are made of. It all comes down to her steady personality, and willingness to do the duties she knew she would have to do marrying the future king, that seems to infuriate her detractors. She’s strong where others have been weak, including Harry himself.

It was such an awful thing to strongly imply that William only married Kate because she fitted the mould on the Netflix show, in fact it was downright nasty. Well I know whose money mine is on for which marriage will actually stay the course and it’s not Harry’s.

It was indeed a horrible thing to say, and you're right, doesn't even make sense given that Kate is not from aristocratic stock. Unless he is suggesting that it was a tactical marriage to ally the British royal family with the middle classes of Berkshire.

I actually don't know what's wrong with marrying a woman who fits the mould. William has always known he's going to be King one day. Should he have chosen a woman who doesn't fit the Queen mould?! It was the act of a mature and sensible adult to choose his spouse wisely. Harry clearly didn't stop to consider that perhaps he benefited from a level of freedom his older brother doesn't enjoy; and the way he said it seemed to imply that William - future King - should have done whatever he wanted to do for luuuurve, just like he did (jury's out on where that's got him). Such a petulant, immature, self-centered man-child.

It seems obvious to me that William and Catherine make a good team, and seem to enjoy each other's company. When you're raising a family and preparing to be the heads of state on some unknown day and forever onwards until the day you die, that's a pretty decent achievement in my books. Harry should enjoy his self-exile in the sunshine state, married to a woman selling jams and candles, free of any worries or concerns for anyone but himself. He's lucky like that.

Absolutely!

He seemed to get on so well with Catherine until Meghan came along - and while we'll never know, it seems to me highly likely that it was her perspective which we see in his otherwise bizarre attacks on Catherine, with M's jealousy and insecurity at the root of it.

It frustrates me that Catherine gets stick for simply being highly professional in what she does - no mean feat for anyone. To me it's as daft as complaining that, say, your doctor isn't fun or edgy or individual enough.

I think that even if the marriage does endure, Harry will definitely feel the loss of his status in the US. When your're super-privileged and not very bright or self-reflective, many things will come as a shock: the idea that you have to pay for things yourself, that you yourself aren't actually THAT interesting once your royal status has gone and that you don't actually have a natural right to get everything you want. Also that people will answer you back - as some of the business people H & M have worked with have done - calling them grifters (Spotify) and telling him to stuff his royal title and entitlement where the sun doesn't shine (after the car chase).

It could all have been so different.

Herein lies the problem of confusing royal duty, which is a job of soft diplomacy, with celebrity. Show-business it is not. She doesn't need to be edgy for clicks.

I agree.
And who knows how edgy or fun your doctor (or indeed the PoW) is when in private and off-duty?

BigWillyLittleTodger · 26/03/2024 15:21

Well said @shenandoahvalley and don’t most of us marry someone who fits our own personal mould? Someone who has the same life goals, values etc otherwise there in disaster lies.

I think Catherine certainly helped build a stronger bond between Charles and William, this picture is touching.

that is a lovely photo

pilates · 26/03/2024 16:15

That is a lovely photo of William and Charles. I haven’t seen that before, thank you.

Samcro · 26/03/2024 16:18

they showed one of the photos of Kate taking the children to school the other day. her hair is so nice.

King Charles so proud of Princess Catherine
stillavid · 26/03/2024 16:43

She really does have lovely hair!

I actually feel quite sorry for Harry - I think this news will really have made him realise how far away he is in all senses from his family.

I do hope with the chemotherapy she keeps her hair. That was the most devastating thing for me, losing eyebrows, lashes and hair was the worst bit. I wish her well.

ArcaneWireless · 26/03/2024 17:18

I think I will reserve my sympathy for someone who deserves it.

Hair loss affects us all differently. It absolutely can be devastating.

I also think that as women - we are so very much more than nice hair.

And ? The photo shows her hair which is beautiful.

musthorse · 26/03/2024 17:43

@Mylovelygreendress I thought the photo was supposed to be relevant to the current situation ? I'm not sure why it was posted. I'm not saying her hair was not lovely 🤷‍♀️

@Samcro posted that photo to show how lovely Catherine’s hair is. What does it matter when it’s from ? The hope is that she doesn’t lose it because of chemo .
I didn’t lose all mine so 🤞

musthorse · 26/03/2024 17:46

She did indeed!

Salemforcuddles · 26/03/2024 17:47

Ffs what is it with people on here.

musthorse · 26/03/2024 17:51

God knows @Samcro . I've often wondered that myself 😊

AliceOlive · 26/03/2024 17:52

@musthorse I wondered that also.
