Agreed. She accepts that her job is to put with anything William does.

It looks increasingly exploitative and just sad as time passes. She seems to dislike William but clings to the title OR she knows that she would get nothing in a divorce and would face a fate worse than Diana. She’s been a prominent Royal for a decade and still can’t give a speech. Whether that’s due to incompetence or stupidity, it adds a depressing quality to her appearances.

Could not disagree with you more. Her speeches are quiet and relatable. She’s obviously shy. They seem to have a really strong, loving bond and from where I sit there is literally no evidence of William treating her poorly. you can tell she is stable and really benefited from a strong family of origin.

She is a strong woman and protective of her family.

Okay that is fully insane. No one protective of their family would have married a prince let alone allow the children to be public figures. That’s crazy! If someone came to you and said “hey I want your 3 year old to appear at public events and have crazy people deeply invested in him and absolutely have stalkers and paparazzi following him all the time. There’s no pay but he can have a house from his powerful relatives and a pretend job. Real jobs will be prohibited/impossible. His dad’s own family was completely wrecked by the same circumstances.”

Would you be like “Yes! Sign me up and put that toddler in a ceremonial robe!” That’s nuts. She may be a lot of things, many of them good, but “protective of her family” she is not. It’s really crazy to me that anyone would say that.

Yes but your child would be royalty, occupying the very top tier of a hierarchical society and living in unmatched privilege. I would have signed up for that!

It doesn’t seem to have helped any of Elizabeth’s children. My ordinary parents of the same generation are far and away happier and better people than any of Elizabeth’s children. I mean, she raised Prince Edward.

I agree with the PP. She is not protective of her children at all.

By marrying a prince, she signed up for her future children to be public figures. She has no choice in that and no royal family can keep their kids completely out of the public eye until they are eighteen, not that that would even be wise.

Sure, but she’s then obviously not a protective mother.

Disagree. I think Kate is not particularly fascinating or intelligent, but she is a good mother and prioritizes her children above everything else. And she is fortunate to have an excellent support system in her parents and sister. Her kids have a very good chance of being normal, functional adults. Kate & Will will learn their lesson from the Harry debacle too, and make sure the younger two have their own paths in life instead of being hangers-on.

I genuinely don’t think anyone who lets their young children be used or uses them as public figures can be a good mother. Whether it’s Kate Middleton, a TikTok maker, a stage mom or whatever.

I know there are kids who really love acting but even then I think a good mother would restrict them to theater or something and avoid anything with too much exposure like TV or movies at least until they are older.

For the ones born into the monarchy, they would have to break tradition which would be hard, certainly, but not impossible. I don’t think Harry/Meghan’s children make public appearances which is great but maybe that’s just because they left, not saying they’re role models on it. Just that it’s possible.

Whereas Kate Middleton chose this for herself and her children. I’m a very casual consumer of royal news and I’ve seen a TON of pictures and videos of her children at official events, none of which was necessary. She even did the photo shoot right after giving birth.

Kate has been a social striver her entire life. Her kids are a means to an end. That’s it.

Sure, we all can see how she is faking her love for her family. Did you mother not love you, pp?

She's genuine. A wonderful role model for women today! And what is wrong with boundaries and decorum? She is so kind and warm in her engagements for her job. She doesn't overshare, great to see. I'm working on that myself.

I’m puzzled by all the posters saying she doesn’t love her kids. Um, most people love their kids and that’s not something to be praised even. It’s generally the default. The cruelest person I know loves her children to death and prioritizes them above all else. I believe Kate does love her children but I don’t think it’s something she should be lauded over.

Of all of the Royal Women of the last 50 years, I think I would want to be her friend the most. I like Anne and Zara but they seem like meaner/cooler girls than Kate I guess because they have royal blood.

How is she a wonderful role model??? She’s never held an actual job. She changed schools to chase a boy. She put up with years of being strung along and publicly embarrassed by William. He finally agreed to marry her and now they have a family. It doesn’t seem like a particularly happy marriage. She goes around a couple of times her month to smile and say hello to people, maybe reading nothing of substance aloud from notecards every so often, while looking as pretty as possible. As we’re supposed to look past how unimpressive it all is just because she married the future king? Sorry, no.

As famous people and their kids go to me She is much better about it than say Britney Spears’ parents or even Taylor swifts because they are profiting off of their offspring. Kate may be “using them” but I think that is more about presenting the children in a way she is in control of because they are a public family. Their job is the family. Contrast that to show moms/families who profit off their kids monetarily and their kid is a primary source of income. It is different to me. In entertainment the kids are the commodity whereas for Kate the kids are part of the family commodity and she is trying to present them in a way where they still can have some privacy and aren’t exploited.

I think she is a Rorschach test for so many. I don't see her as any more 'social striving' than anyone else who marries 'up'. And who cares? As far as long suffering, she doesn't seem to be suffering to me aside from her pregnancies. The cheating is all speculation and I don't think William is that stupid.

I think she is a role model for her poise and discretion and professionalism that is all touched with kindness.

Everything is an extreme with you. Kate is neither cruel nor using her children to become Queen Consort (that happened the day she married William). You're sick and we see right through your unceasing bile.

She has a job but it's not traditional and she can't opt out.

I don't think having a traditional job is a prerequisite for being a role model.

Maybe not a traditional job but she still isn’t doing anything that garners admiration. She’s not someone I would ever want my daughter to look up to.

What?? Who wouldn’t want their daughters to chase after a prince, land him, and then spend the rest of their life pretending to be happy in front of paps as the prince carries on having affairs?
