Do you think Kate Middleton is genuine

Is it really that hard to not laugh for 90 minutes?

And it’s literally her job—the only job she has, and the only job she’s qualified for.

So you're basing all your angst on an assumption. Thought as much. You could give the benefit of the doubt but for some reason have decided not to. Interesting.

We’re in the Entertainment and Pop Culture forum. Which threads and posts here aren’t based on assumptions, PP?

Plus, I don’t see any “angst” in the P-PP’s post. Why do you take any Kate criticism as a personal attack? That’s what’s truly interesting.

Lots of Kate hate on this thread. It’s weird because she’s like the most vanilla, sweet, shy and stable royal of them all.

Kate has a job. It's called Princess of Wales. She will be Queen someday. She occupies a high profile role that comes with a long list of expectations. Her personal beliefs and thoughts are not required nor desirable.

She has her own private life and tightly knight family and circle of friends. None of us will be privy to who she is in private. And that is just fine and dandy.

This whole idea that we always need to be our "authentic self" wherever we are to be "genuine" is one of the failures of modern society. I go to work every day, I present myself to my coworkers a driven professional committed to the job and the growth of the group. What I am in private and at home is irrelevant and not important. "Authenticity" is not important nor is it the point.

Kate does, by all accounts, an excellent job as Princess of Wales and seems to genuinely enjoy opening charity events and hospitals and visiting schools. And that is all that matters. The rest of your gossiping is merely silly and spurious and without foundation.

Brilliant. This emphasis on “authenticity” is very American. It’s not necessarily bad, but not everyone should be held to that standard.

Authenticity doesn’t necessarily mean openness. There is a difference. Kate isn’t an open person at all—and that’s more what you and PP seem to pointing out, which is typical of the royals. But authenticity is something different. You can be authentic in the various roles you play (work life versus home life for instance). And that’s where a lot of us think Kate falls short. For someone who is required to spend so much time with the public, she doesn’t seem authentic. Does anyone think she actually cares about any of her patronages or the people she meets in public? Most of the time she doesn’t seem like she even wants to be there. The one exception is with kids because she does seem warmer toward them.

I call bull.

I know it's bull and wishful thinking because it's also meaningless. Authenticity? Genuine? More vacuous and vapid bull. Words that mean nothing because they offer nothing.

Kate is popular in the UK and is well regarded by all polling metric. So clearly a lot of people don't have issues with her or think she isn't doing the "job" correctly.

What I see here is a bunch of infantile women who get a kick out of criticism and nitpicking. Meanwhile Kate is Princess of Wales and has a life and access none of you can even begin to dream of.

Don't like Kate for whatever reason despite never meeting her? And yet you already know she's not authentic or genuine? OK, fine. Who cares. She certainly doesn't.

Are new here? lol. No one posting here knows her. I’m not sure why only negative opinions are “bull” as you say. Wouldn’t positive opinions be equally unfounded? Some of you get so defensive about this woman! You act like someone insulted your family member but good for you for drinking the royal family Kool-Aid, I guess.

Snickering and rolling eyes at a black preacher at someone's wedding was NOT a good look. Agreed she should have been able to hold it together but, for whatever reason, chose not to.

Or the most standoffish and uninteresting, not to mention the worst public speaker.

Tomato/tomato, right?

Exactly. Personally, I think it’s because she’s an entitled nitwit.

The same Catherine who won William’s attention by modeling a see-through dress is vanilla and shy? I don’t know about that.

I don’t hate Catherine, I respect her game. She got her Prince and seems to be happy with her outcome. I would not want her life, if anything I’d want to be more like Pippa who gets the $$ without the fuss.

Come on.

Are you really arguing she was too stupid to realize she was being photographed? (While attending the most televised wedding in history.) She didn’t know she was there in an official capacity as a sister in law and member of the royal family?

More importantly, Kate is married to the next head of the Church of England and she doesn’t know how to behave in a church? How is that not incompetence?

Haha! Same. Pippa definitely got the better deal in that family. She has all the money and connections AND she gets to raise her children in peace.

I'm laughing at you dolts who claim to no longer like her based on something so idiotic. You don't know her, you never liked her in the first place.

Oh no. Whatever will she do now that she has lost your support?
