It’s probably the one poster who hates anything about Kate.

As an adult with a smaller face, I also wear kids masks. They fit better and give a tighter seal even if they look smaller. An adult size mask leaves gapping openings on the sides. The tighter the seal, the less germs you are potentially spreading.

NP. Her masks look too small, though. Honestly they look pretty uncomfortable to me!

Nothing. Nothing is wrong with her mask.

Short of wearing an N-95, there is nothing that could make that fabric mask more effective.

Covid has completely broken some people. And there seem to be a higher proportion of them in the DC area.

It's fine. It just looks weird and uncomfortable.

She’s been doing this the whole pandemic. Wearing kids masks because it’s more important that we see her eye makeup than she actual models actual responsible behavior.

Ugh you are so annoying. The masks she wears are from Amaia Kids but they are adult masks. I have several of them! They're snug but comfortable. Stop making things up.

Completely agree. She’s perfect. I don’t know that she’s made one misstep as his wife.

She's made plenty of missteps early on, but they were innocuous. No weight in the skirt, working too little, that sort of thing, but you never had to worry about her doing something hurt the Crown. She really understands her job and she embraces it wholeheartedly. If she has private disagreements with her role, we'll never know.

I mean hell will freeze over before Kate goes to Oprah, know what I'm saying?

Kate comes from a background that prepared her for this type of life.

She does not. She was upper middle class. Her parents owned a party supply business and had modest beginnings- her mother was an airline attendant. She was certainly not an aristocrat like Diana. However she is complete grace- never a hair out of place, always behaves in a way befitting of her title. She is a wonderful asset to the crown, as much as it pains me to imagine what compromise/sacrifice that requires of her, particularly as a woman, in her life and marriage.

I think that is what the poster meant.. Kate's mom probably was always controlling her weight obsessively as this is what the job calls for. When you are attendant you need to be within certain weight limit... or at least that was thing in the past. So the comment was NOT without a merit and did NOT have to imply aristocratic bacground.

Nonsense. All the pictures of Kate from her college days and while dating William show her at a healthy weight.

Please. It was obvious that Kate’s parents were desperately pushing her to marry well. They sent her to the same school as William. When he transferred, she followed. This was before they even dated. I can only imagine the type of pressure they put on her to get his attention.

This is such a tired argument. They've been married for TEN YEARS. They've known each other more than half their lives. They have three children together. From what we see, they look pretty happy together. Maybe they are not, maybe they are, but I don't get why people go on and on about how evil or cunning Kate was/is. Can't you see the misogyny? What, did she just decide it was going to happen and Will had no say in the matter? Or she broke him down or she ensnared him with her magical sex prowess?

And... no one transferred. In fact, it wasn't released where William was going until just before school started.

DP. She didn’t transfer. She took a gap year when it was announced that he would take a gap year and then later switched from her intended school to the one he was going to (not a transfer because she never went). Carole Middleton has released stories about her family’s closeness to William and how much he relies on them every step of the way. Philip was dead a few hours and then there were already stories about how her whole family would be at the funeral to support William. I think that her parents invested a lot into getting Pippa and Kate married off. I think that they would not have the lifestyle they have now if Kate hadn’t married William. He literally broke his trust to help them purchase their current house. Certainly at one point party pieces was somewhat successful (although the extent to which it was is impossible to ascertain because it is closely held) but it simply defies logic that a catalogue business could be just as profitable now in a world where Amazon and online ordering exist as it was way back when. So of course there was pressure on Kate and Pippa to marry someone who could float the whole lot of them either directly (like Pippa’s husbands countless investments in James Middleton’s nazi marshmallow company) or by reputation/pedigree.

Do you just sit there writing fanfiction in your head? Lol. I'm your resident UK poster who can barely make it through this thread because so much of this is just. so. wrong. Party Pieces is like... hugely successful here. Everyone I know has used them at some point. They're the most popular party supply company by far. Amazon is not the same here and... no one orders from the catalogue anymore? They have a website.

Why do the Royals walk behind the coffin rather than ride in a car? I'm thinking it's just tradition.

Isn’t just the men walk behind and the women ride in cars?

Anne walked behind too.

Vaccinated or not.. the mask mandate is very clear on this. a mask is a mask.

Are you mask-shaming the Royal family? Like they’re running into Tesco or something. Get a grip, who are they around other than each other and their staff?

Sorry, who do you think is taking these photos, Lady Louise?

Also their ONE JOB is to be figureheads. So why not lead by example?

Sure it is But again you actually have no idea because there is no publicly available figures or data about the finances of the company because it is privately held. From resident Middleton Stan, Richard Kay: “ Although there are no publicly available figures or company accounts to pore over — as a partnership they do not have to file any such information.” So based on no information that literally no one has you decide to write a screed about how successful this company is and I’m those one writing fan fiction (who am I a fan of btw)? LOL.

this company is so successful that William had to help his in laws buy their house because the Middletons have so much money? And they laid off half their staff during the pandemic btw.

Harry should stay a few more days and celebrate his grandmom's birthday. That is what a normal person would do. I am sure Meghan is freaking out that the longer he is in England the more he misses it. I also hope William will understand that Harry is under so much pressure and allow a graceful reconciliation.

Plus she probably got covid when William did

If knowing the basics of financial disclosure requirements is weirdly invested then I guess so!
