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.

You sound quite unhinged, OP! 🤣

I’ll always love those pictures of K-Middy skipping around the Kings Road just before she got married. She understood the brief perfectly (future Queen is pretty huge!). Taking that last moment of freedom, good for her!

Yes & the gorgeous pics of her with Pippa & Carole the night before the wedding. They all looked so happy & relaxed considering the enormity of the event.

Yep, I couldn't imagine Kate being so disorganised & chaotic on her children's first day of school.
Remember the poor Queen died the day the Wales children started Lambrook! Kate wisely stayed behind with the kids, comforted them & stayed focused on getting them settled with school.
Cool, calm & collected Catherine.

Can you hear yourself? 😂

Why does everyone say that she’s lazy?

Because they look at the tallies of public engagements carried out each year by working royals and which are published in mainstream newspapers. Kate and William have been at the bottom for years.

And George is 13 so they have had kids for the past 13 years! William & Catherine are the next generation & they are a childcentic family. William is choosing a different upbringing for his children than what he has as a young child
Carole ran her own business with her kids the focus. I think K&C are absolutely right focusing on their chosen charities & children.

Well , there was to Covid bail out money they took and didn't pay back... they aren't perfect.

Well at least they didn't expect the crown or taxpayers to fund them!

Why are you comparing Kate and Meghan , both very different in attitude and upbringing . Why is an intelligent articulate , independent woman like Meghan always treated so badly by other women and the media ?

BobMortimersSmile · 17/09/2026 23:33

I mean the eating disorder and the excessive thinness is not a good example for young women and girls

LivelyGreyShark · 17/09/2026 23:41

Is this yet another slating M thread, bizarre how people feel the need to start them on a daily basis.

Independent?!! Expecting the British taxpayers to pay for her security is not Independent!
Pulling her kids out for school after two days due to poor planning & disorganisation is neither intelligent or independent.. it's chaotic!

The women in that family are stuck up their own arseholes

Kate is also lazy AF!

Lazy? LAZY? You try to stalk somebody for 9 years never putting a foot wrong. Her mum and she should be put in charge of some military-style planning operations - the amount of work that went into those 9 years - they worked so hard, it must have been exhausting!

Does she go to work everyday. She barely does anything

How do you know what she does?
Do you have access to her life to know this?

How do you know she has an eating disorder?
Did she tell you or have you got access to her medical records?

Why do you think Meghan should live exactly like Kate when they have such different life experiences? And just because I invited my crazy uncle to my wedding - God bless his tortured soul - doesnt mean every female should invite their crazy or embarrassing male relative.
Havent put a food wrong, my arse. Have had their wrong footing well covered perhaps

Meghan didn't invite any of her extended family or her mother's side, cut her dad off the guest list too.. her extended family were very upset at the time.. why were none of the family invited. They all said there was no fall out or anything that happened to not get an invite.. so weird.. Not one of her extended family!!! She insisted on inviting the Clooneys who said afterwards they didn't know her prior to the wedding.. very odd but none of her own family.. her half sister? Her poor dad?
My point is Kate has gone 20 years without even a hair out of place.. Meghan is constantly stepping out of line, oversharing & spouting inaccuracies while expecting the taxpayers hard earned cash..
I'm just pointing out Kate seemed born for royal life & was brought up extremely well.

One must first be hinged to come unhinged. I dont think the hinges were ever there in the first place.

Where were the Markles? Where was Doria's side? Why were they excluded? Why were her half brother, half sister & dad not at the wedding? Why did Harry not meet her dad in the lead up to the wedding?
Kate has Uncle Gary in the background but she still invited him!

Meghan didn't invite anyone from her mother's side to Royal wedding

Meghan Markle's half sister Samantha has continued her social media tirade against the Duchess of Sussex, pointing out not even her mother's side of the family scored an invitation to the wedding.

They are not complete random strangers, they are in fact "public figures"!

Yes.. and also strangers. You don't know them personally! Someone being a celebrity doesn't mean you know them. Haven't we learned that lesson yet.

sparrownetsuke · 18/09/2026 03:32

Anyone else remember when Kate didn't weight her hems? That photo of her arse in a thong is unforgettable.

I think Kate is perfect for her role. She’s thin and photogenic and smiley. She is completely and utterly bland and inoffensive and has fulfilled her brood mare role nicely.

She’s a terrible public and off-the-cuff speaker, but that is hardly ever required so it doesn’t really matter. Turn up, smile and repeat. 10/10.

I think that your terminology is disgraceful.

No matter what you think of her, reducing her to the status of an animal is way beyond the pale.
