Catherine completes three peak challenge

A lot of engagements are shown on the Kensington Palace social media accounts that never reach the Court Circular.
That is before you consider that many of the projects they are involved with through their Royal Foundation will of necessity require a lot of meetings and networking that won't register as formal 'engagements'.

Speaking of their social media, one thing I have appreciated is that they often give people from the organisations and charities they are working with an opportunity to speak for themselves on the KP accounts - allowing those people and their cause a much greater reach than they would normally have.

This is working - as highlighting an important cause via her platform

Clearly not lazy as she wouldn’t be able to do the three peak challenge.

I suspect she has something like crohns or colitis - my cousin looks the way she does and has crohns. Struggles to maintain weight gain, in spite of eating healthily and has had cancer in the past.

Some sad individuals just can’t resist showing their unpleasant side, can they?

Just the small matter of being racist to her sister in law and her and her husband throwing them under the bus to suit themselves…

People really still believe that? Takes all sorts, I guess.

People really still believe they don’t do that?

You must have missed Harry’s update that the RF are not racist after all.

Apart from Harry said that they hadn’t said that and the press made it up. Go figure.

Which bits have I got wrong?

Do Catherine and William actually do the same number or more engagements than Anne / Edward / Charles? (The numbers are available, I’m not wrong)

Has W&C reduced workload been excused /explain due to her health and /or young children? Or is there another argument I’ve missed?

Do you think I’m wrong that being able to complete the 3 peaks in 24 hours is a sign she is stronger /fitter than the average women her age? Trust me, that is tough! If she can do that, she’s no longer too unwell to work full time.

Do you think I’m wrong that “young children” argument for why she can’t work doesn’t fit with all children being school aged, one already boarding, and them having at least one full time nanny so constant childcare?

or is it the money? The duchy does make him around £20-24m a year. They are usually rich. Why is it wrong to think rich celebrities should donate to charities not just ask poorer people to donate?

Yes, of course.

Just accept that they’re not the perfect people you think?

No one is perfect. Harry said in an interview (think with Tom Bradbury), that in the Oprah interview he and Meghan, hadn’t said the royal family were racist and that press made up that they had said that.

Whilst I can believe that some members of the royal family and royal household may well be racist I can’t see it being KC or Kate. Not even my republican mother believed that one. And she dislikes the royals and everything they stand for intensely.

What a weird perspective. The imagination of some people.

I thought about this, and I don’t think it’s jealously, it’s annoying that William and Catherine don’t seem to care about keeping up their side of the bargain.

The deal for Catherine was that she was marrying into great privilege and wealth, her husband and eldest child would become the next two monarchs. But there was a “job” to be done for that money and privilege and power. But William and Catherine don’t seem to be bothered about doing that job.

With this climb challenge, the last excuse she had - her being still not fully fit - has been quietly ended.

What do you mean by 'work full time'? Do you think she should get a job ? Like Beatrice and Eugenie or Zara who actually don't appear to work at all despite having 'jobs'?

It’s actually very true though. Her father in law and husband are billionaires. Why should I donate to a charity they could fund for life?

She hasn’t said she did it to raise money, she did it to raise awareness, which she has, of what people with a cancer diagnosis go through and how they are supported by the Royal Marsden. For all we know she could be donating generously from her personal funds but she has the class not to publicise the fact. The hope is that money will roll in from the raised awareness but more than this, it is a powerful message of support for those cancer sufferers who are facing this devastating illness alone or in more difficult circumstances than perhaps other people realise.

I think that’s reading the room alright.

What is it with people refusing to understand that William and Catherine have repeatedly said they are not going to do royal duties the old way? They don't want hundreds of patronages with endless ribbon-cutting and brief appearances. They've said time and again they want fewer patronages with greater involvement and long-term impact.
That approach also makes sense with a much smaller working Royal Family in the future. Every generation adapts and does things differently. Judging them by a model they've already said they won't follow misses the point entirely.

I’m impressed
I consider myself to be pretty fit and got up Snowdon recently and once down again we were musing about how mental it would be to do all three in in 24h

Easily done!🤣

Your username is apt here!

We are all aware of the things cancer sufferers go through. She has not raised any awareness doing this.

That comment is wrong on so many levels. Climbing three mountains in 24 hours is an incredibly demanding physical challenge that requires strength, stamina, and endurance. Yet another conspiracy theory debunked.
