+1. She's a ride or die for sure. |
People who say the press would never leave them alone are probably very young and don’t remember how much coverage other royals got when they were young. Once they’re older, they get replaced by the younger set in the public eye. Andrew got as much coverage as Harry when he was young, and then was almost completely forgotten until he got himself in trouble. If they wanted a private life, they could have had one. It’s clear they don’t. |
I actually felt bad for her back then. William has always been so disrespectful to her. qUEeN cOnSeRt |

The press lost interest in Andrew after he got divorced, stopped having kids, and got old. So yeah, the press will lose interest in H&M eventually, but right now interest is still sky high. If they’d stayed in England, whether in London or the countryside, the press focus would have been incredibly intense when Lillibet was born, for instance. They were definitely afforded more privacy around that time in the US than they ever would have had in the UK. Especially in LA where there are lots of ways for celebrities to hide from the press when they want to. Saying “oh the press would have left you alone in 10-15 years” is not the trump card you think it is here. |
Aww, I miss the Obamas. 😢 But, yes, literally everyone other than her husband shows Kate kindness. Can you imagine living with such a selfish pig as William? The poor thing must be starved for affection. |
Andrew got less coverage because the Palace put the squeeze on networks like ABC not to report on him. And you are generally comparing apples and oranges because the volume of coverage William and Harry received from heir mom’s death onward blows everyone else out of the water. |
My takeaway: Obama is a gentleman and Americans are more casual and touchy. The Brits are very, very used to rain and a little mist is no big deal to them…but it is a big deal to black women and their men realize it. Will and Kate will go the distance. She’s given him everything he didn’t have as a child: love and stability. He’s not as touchy/feely as she is, but that makes sense given his upbringing and duty. He’s all stuffy Brit Royal in public, but he is starting to show signs of easing up thanks to her comfortable approach. She’s very authentic at public appearances. |
She has no options though. No family money to fall back on, no titles of her own, no career to go back to. She actually kind of reminds me of the part in Hamilton where Angelica Schuyler is singing about how since she is the oldest it’s her responsibility to marry someone of social status to continue to elevate the family. |
Of course they’ll make it. But while it’s obvious what she brings to the table he really behaves towards her like he’s the prize and it’s hard to conceptualize what he offers besides money and prestige. He doesn’t seem to dote on her the way Charles does on Camilla (even though she sucks), he has a horrible messed up family who they also have to work with, and there’s always rumors about his bad temper/infidelity. |
No skills, no talent… except for her great capacity for endurance. 😆😆 |
Sigh. Poor Will has essentially become tabloid fodder as he’s risen in the ranks. Of course there will be infidelity rumors, but that doesn’t mean it’s true. Will and Kate seem to live together, not apart. They’ve built a fairly normal family life centered around their kids. They aren’t leading separate lives like his parents. They have one home, he isn’t off running around. And I think they look happy in public appearances. |

So much jealousy here. wills and Kate are an awesome team. Should be king and queen right now.
And they’ll never have to deal with the “duchess” again. |
