Trump State Visit

A space for thoughts.

My first is that being at Windsor might make it easier to host a foreign leader. Which then begs the question as to whether in the modern age we really need Buckingham Palace. None of the royals like living there and I bet you'd make a fortune hiring it out for events and tourists.

Whilst i find Catherine's coat dresses a little boring it makes sense to have a sort of uniform.

It did make me chuckle that Donald said he didn't know Mandelson!

I don’t think negatively commenting on anyone’s body shape and looks on a public forum is a good thing to do. I think it says a lot about a person if they think that’s ok.

Given women have been judged on their looks since time immemorial I think it’s a particularly shit thing to do about a woman in the public eye on a predominantly woman based forum.

Debate royalty or the state visit or the flowers or the clothes or the choice of activities or the press by all means but the comments on this thread about the POW’s body make me feel genuinely sick. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Absolutely, it’s disgusting, even worse that she has cancer and chemotherapy which will of course affect her hair and weight and posters are criticising her for it.

sminted · 18/09/2025 20:51

Her of the multiple plastic surgeries that she constantly promotes? Her who sells her looks to the highest bidder? her who sells her body on Only Fans? That’s the best you can come up with?

I was asked a question and answered. I don't think how she makes her money is relevant.

sminted · 18/09/2025 20:52

Style and fashion of course, but her actual physical looks and her body not so much, it’s not tolerated on here for other women it shouldn’t be tolerated for Catherine either, just because you don’t like her.

Why would I dislike her? I don't know anything about her. She appears to be a decent & nice person. I just don't like her dress sense or think she's the second coming 🤷🏻‍♀️

Of course it’s relevant when her looks are what she sells, not a fair comparison and you know it.

Then talk about her dress sense, not her weight.

No one is complaining about the negatives of ‘I like her dress,~ I don’t’ ‘she’s wearing a wig ~ no it’s extensions’ , it’s the disgusting almost gleeful, oh she is haggard, she has an eating disorder, comparing photos of her prior to a full year of some of the most horrid treatments anyone can go through,( those of us who have gone through it know full well what that entails).

Not many patients come out of cancer treatment and are bouncing around in full health immediately after they get to the end of treatment, in fact I don’t know any.

I cannot believe how inhuman and brutal some of the comments here are.

sminted · 18/09/2025 20:58

@BigWillyLittleTodger I did talk about her dress sense & only mentioned her weight in response to someone who said she is not thin. I think she is thin but I don't personally care about that & said it's her business.

BigWillyLittleTodger · 18/09/2025 14:13

Yes I’ve noticed a lot of posts like this, also Haggared, lined, old, exhausted etc. either the posters saying these things have never actually seen a person who “looks very sick” or they are pushing a narrative to undermine her, reminds me of that scene in Dr. Who where these tactics were deployed.

pushing a narrative?

My mum had cancer, people did comment on how she looked after. It's unrealistic to think people aren't going to have opinions.

It’s not unrealistic to think that opinions about the looks and body shape of someone recovering from cancer wouldn’t be posted on a public forum. How would you or your mum feel if you read comments like that about her?

sminted · 18/09/2025 21:16

Don't worry, most just said it to her face 😆

sminted · 18/09/2025 21:16

Is saying someone is thin really that offensive?

Negtive opinions about someone’s appearance after fighting for their lives ? After enduring toxic chemicals being pumped through their bodies week after week. Nice acquaintances your Mom has 😏

It is when you know the person has had cancer, has been treated for cancer and is recovering from cancer. Would you make the same remarks about Deborah James for example?

I think anyone in the public eye regardless of a cancer diagnosis will find negative & positive things written about them on the internet. To me that is just a fact so we will have to agree to disagree.

sminted · 18/09/2025 21:20

Your poor mum needs new friends then!

some was family, neighbours etc. It wasn't all negative but just noticing the changes.

That makes it worse. Your poor mother. Just because it happened to her, please don’t think that it’s normal! You poor thing thinking that this is normal. I actually feel pity for you.

Thedom · 18/09/2025 21:21

The only person I have ever seen or heard of being criticized for her appearance post cancer and post chemo is Catherine (and your Mum now).

BigWillyLittleTodger · 18/09/2025 21:21

So basically what you are saying is it’s ok to post pictures of famous cancer patients before and after treatment and comment negatively on their looks and comment how thin, exhausted and haggard they look post treatment, just when I thought people couldn’t sink any lower, they do.

Who else do you think is too thin who has a cancer diagnosis or just recovered from a cancer diagnosis? Please do share since this is something you think is normal?

If someone asked me if Deborah James was thin I would say yes I think she is thin. What should I say?

One of my older relatives is dying of cancer and I visited him in the hospice recently . I was shocked by how thin he has got and mentioned it to my mum. He said he was so thin as he struggling to eat.
