Since when was it 'evil' and 'malevolent' to point out reality?

Catherine is not reading mumsnet in her jammies on a Sunday morning. She's not going to be crying into her coffee that some anonymous women on Mumsnet thinks she looks frail and thin. This discussion is not going to affect her in the slightest, so let's stop all the ridiculous hand-wringing.

The people who are affected by this sort of sycophancy and denial of reality are plenty of real women and young girls who do spend their lives on the internet and are fed photos of a real life princess (and in our patriarchal world, becoming a princess by marrying your Prince Charming is still, depressingly, a life goal for many) who is demonstrably considerably underweight and yet praised for her figure and style. They look at these images and want to emulate them.

By not being honest about the fact that Catherine is underweight, by praising her for being so, and using words like 'fit' and 'healthy' to describe someone who is medically underweight, we perpetuate the narrative that being unhealthily thin is desirable, and we encourage vulnerable women and girls to attempt to achieve the same appearance, triggering eating disorders.

None of this is Catherine's fault and I'm not saying that it is - but the reality remains that she is underweight, it is obvious, and I don't agree that we should all be expected to not mention it in the cause of female solidarity, because there are many other women who are harmed in the process of pretending that her body shape is healthy.

I thought Catherine does read MN?

It is quite clear this is part of an orchestrated PR attack on The Princess of Wales across social media platforms. Some posts are from real people but it is mostly bots amplifying PR talking points to drive a negative message.

Catherine in 2015 had certain attributes. Her hair was complimented. Her figure was admired. Her fashion sense was complimented. Her birthday photographs of her children were admired, and she was known to be a keen amateur photographer. She was a bee-keeper. She gardened with her children. She cooked and baked. She was an athlete with records at her school and active participation in sporting engagements.

Then Single. White. Female.

The relentless attacks started via proxies beginning with LaineyGossip and the "Catherine didn't give me a ride" even before that person was married either on the candle date or three days before. Recollections vary on this matter.

For example, Catherine's weight is being attacked as part of the overall strategy to degrade Catherine in the public eye. The extreme language "emaciated" and "frail" is meant to evoke images of Diana. It is a well-worn playbook simultaneously attacking both Catherine and her marriage to William.

We see you. And we know exactly what you are.

Whilst I think many of the comments on here were unnecessary, thinking it’s part of an ‘orchestrated attack’ on Kate is somewhat of a stretch.

We see all the threads on Meghan too with regular posters here commenting how wrong it it is to body shame a woman but go ahead and body shame Meghan continuously. Its not just one woman being attacked

So that makes it ok?
If you see it happen on these threads, report it. Don't then consider hateful attacks on Kate to be quid pro quo.

We do not - categorically DO NOT - see threads on MN criticising the appearance of CANCER SUFFERERS AND SURVIVORS. Stop comparing apples and oranges. It’s utterly disgusting that this one cancer patient is continually targeted and MN lets these threads stand.

Well this was obviously going to be the end result of threads like this!
many slim women are fed up of being insulted 🤷‍♀️

I don't have an opinion about Kate, but I've been slim my entire life. I'm 5'5" and size 6-8. I eat well and exercise, but most of the thanks go to genetics. I have never, not once, felt insulted for being slim.

Not sure where you're hanging out that you feel that way?

Also very pleased that this is your experience because that’s how it should be for everyone.

i Can’t believe this thread is still going.
but then this topic has little moderation.
i hope that going forward the posters who have quite rightly said that it’s horrible will apply this across the rest of the royal family.

Certainly, I never comment on the appearance or body of any of the women in the royal family and will continue to call out any criticism of the appearances of cancer survivors.

Same here. Dear god, some of the nasty comments on here about Kate are unbelievable.
Akin to those dreadful ones when she was first in hospital and out of commission.
So insensitive and cruel.

noonames · 30/11/2025 16:26

Isn’t it lovely having posters not only criticising another woman’s body but also labelling her physically and mentally unwell, what a great thread. (Adding a shout out here to the poster who criticised her on the other thread for doing something that never even happened, complete lies.)

And what’s she done? Well - who knows what goes on in these posters’ heads really, but let’s see - she’s taller, thinner, richer, more popular, hasn’t been accused of bullying or stealing, refrains from buying awards and having herself announced to rooms containing one person, seems close to her family and in-laws, and most importantly has higher status and therefore more power than Meghan. She’s going to be queen while Meghan fades into obscurity. Her son is going to be king while Meghan’s children have meaningless titles that people ridicule their parents for keeping. She will be able to mix with just about anyone she likes and be invited anywhere she likes for the rest of her life, while Meghan hustles away for one show at PFW and a Kardashian party. (Both of which made her look an idiot in one way or another.) Oh and not forgetting that time she didn’t make the right face when lending a lip gloss. What a bitch - no wonder people have a go at her.
Well done guys 👌

Thanks dont , it’s the one thing I’m firm on ! For any woman regardless if they are in the public eye or not , I only critique behaviour, I don’t really care what they look like or what they wear.
ive not seen you make any posts that are even slightly unkind.
