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.

No it's not.
She is literally quoting you directly. Which is a form of the truth.
You, however, are still posting the same claim over and over and over....

Admit it - you don’t like her and the poor woman can do nothing right in your eyes. Just admit it.

But here’s a challenge: tell us why you dislike her SO much. And don’t just say she’s boring again. No reasonable person dislikes someone for just being boring and harmless.

So what’s your actual beef with her?

I don't dislike Catherine. How childish. She is a stranger to me.
I think her public persona is boring. She walks, she smiles, she wears clothes, that's it. She likes cocktails and sunny places, loves her children and is sporty. Her public persona is of an identikit Barbie.

Selectively copying and pasting a sentence and then claiming it meant something it did not,which the full comment shows, is a form of lying.

@Serenster I don't care what harry thought. In case you are interested I am not interested in the harry Meghan versus royal family game so many of you care about on here.

I do know lady hussey was racist though and incredibly rude.

You are not interested yet seem quite invested in it on this thread. It’s what this thread is all about.

Why do you all think Catherine is a living saint?

This is literally your entire post

@OneLilacHedgehog

Forgive me for not being able to see your invisible ‘royal supporters’.

Wow indeed 😉

Don’t accuse me of lying or selectively cutting and pasting.

All of you who support the royals simply say how wonderful Catherine is. She gets praised very highly for doing fairly ordinary things like talking to a child. Nothing negative is ever said about her and anyone who says anything negative at all is immediately pounced on.
What else would you call that except treating her like a living saint?

I agree very much that although Catherine has receive some awful press in the past, the current narrative is very positive, as with Camilla, because the press love to play up the saint v sinner ridiculousness!

I have never known the press to be so respectful actually of Charles, Camilla, William and Catherine.

Don’t get me wrong, I think Catherine does an extremely professional job. But I agree that the exaggerated praise for closing your own car door or whatever it is gets a little ridiculous and I’m sure she would agree!

Personally, I think she and Meghan both have assets that would have benefited the RF in different ways but I know I will be shouted down for saying that.

She’s the future Queen, fgs.

I want my HoS and their consort to be dignified, have gravitas, be respected and respectful, not to seek attention inappropriately and not to make any waves.

What do you want her to do?

I like her but I take NO interest in her private life or hobbies. An identikit Barbie? Are you for real?😂

You don't dislike Catherine? Why did you start that nasty thread about her.
It was vile.

TheOvertGardener · 04/10/2026 13:31

@FenellaFeldman @CoffeeCantata

The poster does not dislike Catherine because there is nothing publicly known about her to dislike.

They just want to punish her because Meghan has shown her arse so many times and has an 18% popularity rating with the public.

Good points.
That thread she created about William and Kate with the photo was absolutely vile.

I think @myrtleWilson is spot on.

There’s full video of Harry and Meghan getting a photo op with a disabled child then walking away without even speaking to them.

They were trying to reproduce that with this one photo and happy to use this lovely woman to do it.

What does that say?

As a taxpayer I am very invested as I do not wish my hard earned money to cover the security of a pair of non working trouble makers! And the feeling is mutual however I wouldn't spit full stop as it is a vile disgusting habit.
Interesting that you feel Ham are more than capable of that dirty habit!

I don’t want my hard earned tax £ funding non-working trouble makers either. Are we turning this thread into a benefits bashing thread now?

I suspect you’re right. But getting this pp to admit that, even to themselves, is a lost cause.

Claiming they have no real problem with her, having run away from a whole thread they started to try and tarnish her image. 🙄

Yes, of course - we’ve seen this pattern before on here: the more silly M and H look and the more things go wrong for them the more nastiness we get directed at W and especially C.

Displacement activity. And totally transparent.

FenellaFeldman · 04/10/2026 13:48

Thanks, Jeff.
I'm guessing that @OneLilacHedgehog must have forgotten about this?

TheOvertGardener · 04/10/2026 13:48

Maybe as two specific posters endlessly like to say, some of us are childish.

This is something much worse though.

You are right and clearly we’ve entered another time like the “Where’s Kate” period.

Sources close to HAM told People magazine that this time things will be different for them living in UK because their “network” is better prepared.

I think that is relevant. It’s also speaks to how Harry and Meghan view other people as solely existing to support them.

I think so - I’ll try to find the photo later and then the full video. It’s one where Meghan’s face changed entirely after the photographer gets the photo. I guess she didn’t count on the video.

Is that the one at the pre-Invictus Games event in Canada? I’m thinking of a video where Meghan is walking along then spots a photographer with a boy in a wheelchair. She bobs down next to him, flashes a massive smile at the camera, then gets up and walks on without even speaking to the boy or his parents. Really upsetting to watch.

That's horrible, how exploitative.
