King Charles so proud of Princess Catherine

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.

Just catching up.

All I'm going to say is that certain posters who weren't happy with positive threads about the Sussexes being derailed don't seem to have the same objections to derailing a positive thread about Catherine.

Funny that.

This bears repeating.

Well they are certainly going through it atm.

Imagine having to help your kids deal with Granddad being ill.

It's all over the papers because of who he is.

Uncle dashing in from USA & then you get the same diagnosis.

To top it all people are baying for you to send a "thanks for the good wishes after the op" message, speculating why you haven't been seen (although you had already said that you wouldn't be!)

She must have just wanted to scream!

This picture really struck a chord with me at the time, it was Catherine’s first public appearance after being named the alleged royal racist by Scobie, I remember thinking she looked quite vulnerable and how William looked so protective of her, we now know she was also having serious health issues to contend with which would have added to the enormous stress she must have been feeling, yet she still faced the world, what strength of character she has, no wonder Charles and William are so proud of her.

Edited

She look so gorgeous in this outfit. Someone in the crowd/journos shouted. "Are you a racist?" at her iirc. William was super protective, but she is a woman of steel to have faced up to the public after everything that odious tosser Scobie put her through.

In some of the photos you can see her touching her tummy. I didn't think much of it at the time, but now we know why.

Scobie really is an odious little creep. Imagine choosing such a horrible person as your hagiographer.

Those complaining about this not remaining the way they want are also the same ones who won't allow a positive thread about Meghan... and it goes on and on and on...

Why don't you start your own thread about Meghan?

..and Mrs. Finkelstein kept telling us all that Catherine HAD said thank-you, and showing us the statement, and still nine tenths of the posters didn't want to take that on board.

I disagree.

While I'm sure there are some who try to derail the threads, I recognise names here such as @AliceOlive who have been scrupulously fair on threads about Meghan and been complimentary when due, even though they may not be her biggest fan.

In contrast, there are those here who explicitly have complained about Meghan threads being derailed doing the self same thing here and defending their right to do so.

I also think that when a woman has been diagnosed with cancer, if you can't just recognise that maybe now isn't the time to continue to spread online negativity about her, there's really no hope.

I don't particularly like Meghan (or Harry) but I try to be fair and balanced. If the tables were turned and we woke up tomorrow and Meghan had been diagnosed with cancer, I'd zip my mouth on any negativity, regardless of whether I thought it was true. There's a time and a place to be critical, and that's not when a woman has young children and is having chemotherapy for cancer.

I'm sure people will say "Catherine doesn't read MN, it doesn't matter" - but the point is when someone is going through such an awful time, contributing to online bitchiness is a shitty thing to do. Negativity spreads, comment by comment. That's the power of social media.

Surely just for once, people can let a positive thread stand without adding irrelevant, spiteful comments. Whether you think Catherine is "bland and boring" is utterly irrelevant to what's being discussed here and unrelated to the subject of this post. It's just fucking unnecessary - bitchiness for the sake of bitchiness. Slow clap.

@IcedPurple that is a stunning photo of Kate in the blue dress.

I feel exactly the same as you. Most decent people would.

Goodness, yes! I remember her touching her tummy as some people were speculating re pregnancy. Maybe her surgery was the reason why, I didn't put the two things together.

I respectfully disagree with your entire perspective on how things operate here and elsewhere online its the same. Mental illness and suicidal thoughts are serious too, and clearly life threatening in a different way. That did not stop anyone questioning Meghan's thoughts, and criticising her- certainly not here. So sorry, no I don't agree or think anyone here would suddenly start being fair to Meghan because they haven't been.
I have not said anything spiteful on this thread at all so please direct your rude comments elsewhere, they're fucking unnecessary and misdirected.

Meghan’s fan base has put me completely off her. I usually stay away from Twitter and YouTube but I can’t under what I’ve seen.

Same arguments now being spouted here as Bouzy posted.

Of course mental illness and suicide are serious. But we found out about that much later on, not while she was allegedly going through it and that makes a very big difference.

If Meghan had done a video release to the public talking about how she felt suicidal and what she was going through, and then people decided to pile onto her online and be spiteful, I'd have the same low opinion of them.

What happened with Meghan and Harry is that they made a whole heap of allegations, some provably false, some dubious, some probably true. That provoked a whole online controversy, which they then doubled down on with a tell-all documentary slating the RF some more, and then the release of Harry's book. All of that is deliberately courting attention, and is bound to stir up discussion.

Despite all of the above, if Meghan came out tomorrow and announced some huge health crisis, I'd have the same compassion for her that I have for Catherine.

Also, you keep talking in general terms. I'm not talking generally. I'm talking about specific posters on here who think it's fine to hop onto a thread about Catherine and be nasty, while simultaneously complaining about others doing the same on threads about Meghan. It's hypocritical.

That accusation wasn't being levelled at you because I don't recognise your name. I tagged you because you replied to my post, and I was responding. I wasn't accusing you of the double standards because I don't know what you've said before. But if the cap fits, then wear it by all means.

And I will tell you what is "rude" and "fucking unnecessary" as well as being "misdirected" - and that's coming onto a post which has explicitly asked for positive comments about Catherine and using it to advance an agenda of spite.
