She openly said she would be prioritizing her health and her family post-diagnosis. Taking a family vacation seems in line with that statement. And who knows how much skiing she did, not that it's any of our business.


Yes, she definitely said this, and she also said that she'd only be doing things that bring her joy. The thing is, a lot of Brits (like my relatives there) don't think this is good enough, because she's living off the public purse to a greater or lesser extent depending on which lawyers you talk to. Certainly taxpayers pay for those multiple security guards who entered the Swiss restaurant with her. The royals have been busted using taxpayer-funded jets for private vacations and, even if William's duchy paid for it, some argue that the duchy income properly belongs to the state; at the very least, it should be taxed and because it's not taxed, that's millions in lost revenue. Not to mention the hypocrisy about flying a private jet for vacation when William is lecturing others about carbon loads. Given the multiple taxpayer-funded bennies they all receive (read "And What Do You Do" and you'll see many more than I've listed here), there's an expectation that, now that her children are all in school, she could turn up more than once a month to visit a patronage or something. If you read the Daily Mail's comment section you'll see that sentiment is starting to turn against William and Kate. If her next public appearance is all glammed up at the BAFTAs, the Mail's comment section is going to go berserk.

The Daily Mail’s comment section is a sewer.

She has an 80% favorability rating. Andrew, Harry, and Charles have all damaged the monarchy. I’m not sure it will continue. And I don’t know that William and Catherine would mind too much just f*ck ing off with their personal fortune anyway.

BTW, the taxpayer plays slightly over 1£ and the return is phenomenal. Receive about 86b bring in about 1.8b. Having an apolitical head of state is unquantifiable but valued by many.


How old is that favorability rating though? It’s changed in even just the few mo the since she claimed to be “cancer-free” in that video, yet has still refused to work.

Tourists come to see the buildings, not to have tea with royalty. France takes on more from tourism than Britain but hadn’t had a monarchy for almost two centuries.

I checked the ratings before I commented.

Their contributions to the economy are much more than tourism.


Such as? If you're thinking about British fashion, Paris does quite well without royal warrants or pictures of a royal wearing their gear, thank you. People come to Britain to look at the palaces and other buildings and parks, they never expect to go inside and meet any royals, same as in France.

Indeed. It was Finlay, which is more upscale than Specsavers but on-brand for this career shopper.

Check the Daily Mail comments section instead of some biased poll of older conservatives. Her popularity is tanking and many seem quite angry. Her Carols concert had surprisingly low viewership. Many are questioning why she told us in September, after jumping over hay bales, that she was done with chemo and "cancer free" (which is medically not a sound statement, but whatever), and she just went skiing in Switzerland, but KP is still telling every news outlet she's too fragile to work.

Look, I like the monarchy and want it to succeed. That's exactly why I'm concerned about William and Catherine's laziness. William, of course, is also a problem, swerving Carter's funeral and an airfare event where he was supposed to meet service families but cancelled the whole thing after his pr helicopter ride was cancelled due to the weather. These two need to be seen visiting their patronages, or doing something useful, instead of just turning up on ski slopes.

Can I ask, honestly, why you like the monarchy of a foreign country? Enough to care whether or not it succeeds?

If you think the Daily Mail comment section is representative of the UK you are mistaken.

Indeed. It's much older and more conservative than the rest of the UK. Making it more pro-Kate than the rest of the country, if anything.

DP. They’ve done this every year. They basically disappear for all of December to go skiing and to mustique. That said not sure why people only care that she’s lazy when William is right there with her.


Yep, rich people go on vacation at the end of the year.

If only it were just the end of the year. It's mid-December through end-January.
