I don't think anyone hates her. I also don't think she's reading or watching any of it, and I doubt the kids are exposed to it either.

I can see how some of this would be burdensome but I actually don't think it's as bad as what happened to Diana or Meghan, because in both of those cases the family declined to protect or defend them from the press attacks and speculation. In some cases members of the royal family or their staff even encouraged or planted rumors about both of them. The press also treated them fairly terribly, but I think the thing that hurt them both was having the family throw them to the wolves. Both women also get trashed for being "too public" and talking to the press too much, but one reason they both wound up doing that is because they felt the need to defend themselves against lies and insults that were "leaked" to the press from the BRF.

An interesting thing about this whole situation is that there is none of that. Catherine is being defended and protected by the family. No leaks. It's interesting given their history.

I don't see her being defended. I see botched communication after botched communication. And yes, she can't talk back as freely as the future Queen even if she wanted to.

Not one leak. Nothing. Not one untoward comment from a family member or a "sources say Catherine increasingly demanding during her convalescence." No rumors sparked by "palace sources" about their marriage or parenting.

And Kate could even become more famous and wealthy after divorce so money cannot be the issue. I don’t understand what she needs a bargaining chip or leverage for ?

Bc she won’t have full custody of the kids. They will be shelled to boarding school and she’ll see them 6x a year.
Maybe 1 week in august.

They will likely go to boarding school even if no divorce. Perhaps return home on weekends, they have been looking at schools nearby.

I think that this whole thing is about boarding school. They finally came to an agreement in November last year. Kate is out of commission less than two months later. Those boarding schools messed up Will and Harry. She is a very good mother who loves her kids and I think that her kids well being is basically the only thing she would go against the firm for and she is clearly making a statement against the firm right now.

Oh please. No comparison with Diana who was driven by the press to death in a tunnel, or to Meghan who had to leave the country.

Your fawning adoration for Kate it's toe-curling. I bet you subscribe to teen magazines too.

So this is all your perverse way of getting payback?

yes, orchestrated by trump's people to get his trials and Katie Britt out of the news cycle.
see how crazy you sound?

Now you're really losing it.

point made

Only in the mind of the deranged. This has gone beyond mere speculation and into something pretty dark and macabre.

This is about the kids. I agree

I’m an American. I don’t understand the boarding school business. Don’t you have kids to raise them and be with them?

Plenty of Americans send their kids to boarding schools.

Then PR team definitely needs to be fired. It’s their job to stay on top of this. Do they didn’t alert KP that there is potentially an issue brewing with pic?

Yeah seems like a bunch of amateurs. Either that or they’re old and out of touch with modern social media.

No, an extreme minority of Americans do. I don’t even think it would exceed 1%

Naive much?. Boarding schools are often used by the wealthy in America. In Wash. DC, too.

In fact, here is a current BS thread in the private school DCUM forums.

I do. I guess it depends on what your circle is and your socio-economic status. Is this really that hard to figure out? You are a regular Joe, others aren't.

It's common among the Old Money set in DC, NYC, Philadelphia, and Boston. Lots of excellent boarding adjacent to the Acela Corridor.

NP. You’re really making the case for how great boarding school is, with your classist, rude, unnecessarily unkind remarks. You are actually being proof that, while of course American boarding schools exist, they clearly produce some awful people. (Or they inspire “strivers” who try to act rude and superior to fit in with the boarding school “circles.”)

Saying it doesn't exist just because you don't know people is incredibly stupid. Are you denying that there are no such school in the US? Come on.

Some Americans do it, too. It's a rich person thing, but also a cultural difference. Some people do not see parenting as spending lots of time with their kids. I have a friend who only likes spending time with her kids at certain meal times and on vacation. All the stuff in between (what I would consider "parenting"), she mostly outsources to other people. She views her role as a parent to primarily be about making good decisions in terms of who and how that stuff is outsourced -- hiring the right nanny, choosing the right school.

Kids in these families are treated kind of like small adults, and it's not viewed as strange for a child to go off to boarding school at 12 or 13, because they are viewed as capable of it and also it is believed that the experience will build independence and resilience.
