I am currently reading Russsll Myers Catherine & William. Enjoying it but one thing that stands out is how the Middletons have never put a foot wrong.
Carole was not from an aristocratic background nor was Michael but they raised their kids not to put a step wrong. Kate also had embarrassing family members (Uncle Gary) but she still invited him to the wedding which was the right thing to do & it nipped the media scandal in the bud & took the wind out of any sails.. Meghan invited none of her extended family or her dad & it caused massive media speculation.
Kate was born for royal life & is a natural. Very proud of our future queen. Her parents did an amazing job.

Does that mean you saw it elsewhere?

no I have not seen it elsewhere.
I assumed you meant on this thread.

Nope. But you have decided, so who am I to point out that your analysis is completely wrong and bears no relation to why I actually said.

No you clearly said you were going to start referring to the Wales children as the "Cawvids" to see if it would catch on & further on in the thread you said you were going to call Catherine, our future queen "Middleton"!
It's there in black & white under your name, stop trying to dig yourself out of a hole!

I wonder how cawvids was meant.

A little affectionately? Being witty? Downright nasty?

I don’t even wonder because it seems plain.

If it was something cute like “The Waleslins” it would line up better with hamlet. Except they aren’t so little so have grown out of that phase.

I prefer to think of it as a school
bus.

Ha, either way it's just childish. Makes me think its kifs on here not grown adults who have their own kids no less

It doesn’t help your case re: name calling to refer to other people as being childish or kifs.

If it’s a school bus, someone has to be the driver.

Your opinion of other posters is not the purpose of a forum.

Opinions are like assholes.

Announcing indifference like it required an audience 🤣 you obviously cared enough to respond though 😏

ThrwhelsOntHEbuzgoroundandrund · 02/10/2026 21:52

What’s the difference of announcing indifference and others thinking it but not saying it?

Does it mean folk don’t care or just can’t be arsed I wonder?
