Do you think Kate Middleton is genuine

I’m not sure how exactly we are judging her as a good mother? Her photo ops with her children? These children are raised by nannies.

This. I very much get the sense that if she could take her money and prestige and quit any type of work the role requires of her, we would never see her again. She definitely would not be involved in any of these charitable efforts she can barely feign interest in. She comes across as completely dispassionate to pretty much anything outside of her own family and she's not great at pretending otherwise.

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.

The royal family is lucky to have her.

She pretends to be a class act. She is a social climber who understands the assignment, and has free use of taxpayer money to ensure the ballgowns and hair fit the part. Alongside the Crown Jewels that were pillaged from other countries.

If Kate is a social climber she’s kind of arrived. Even in the monarchy ends tomorrow, she will still have a high social status even if William dumps her for Omid Scobey or Taylor Swift.

She works very hard at projecting decorum which is a strength. However her story of dating and falling in love with William feels very fake. When they were in their 20’s he basically disrespected her and treated her like shit. She stayed and married him anyways. There was a brief lag where he seemed to improve then he was back to cheating and treating her like shit. She stays because she cares about her social standing above all else. That’s not aspirational.

She’s also been in this public persona role for over a decade and still can’t figure out how to give a speech. That’s incompetent.

She makes public missteps all the time. I can’t get the image of her laughing at the gospel choir at Meghan and Harry’s wedding out of my head. She’s too old to be so stupid. Did she really think she wouldn’t be photographed at a royal wedding?

It’s also sad that one of the most positive things that can be said about her is that she’ll put up with anything William does to cling to her title. In that sense she adds stability to the monarchy but is otherwise a terrible role model. She’s ineffective at her job and can’t promote her chosen patronage.

I guess the only fully positive thing that can be said about her is that she loves her children.

I'm sure she's devestated that your opinion of her has fallen.

The same people slamming her for not being "relatable" also look at her relatable moments like laughing inappropriately at a wedding or funeral, because who hasn't been there, and call her stupid. Make up your mind. Should she be human or an emotionless robot?

Laughing at a wedding is not a relatable moment. I’m not a Royal and I’ve never done that.

Kate has plenty of time where she has complete privacy to say or do whatever inappropriate stuff she wants behind closed doors. I think it’s bizarre that she chose the most photographed event of the year to drop the decorum.

I called her incompetent at her job because she’s had over a decade of practice and still stumbles through public appearances. It took less time for King George to overcome his stutter.

At this point, it’s just sad.

You have never ever laughed at a wedding? You’re full of it or wound awfully tight. Feel sorry for you.

Nope, I’ve never mocked the service at a wedding. And I never considered it difficult to not be so crass.

How do you know she was mocking? It was a long day. Impossible to stay in character all day. You’re no saint so stop pretending you’re perfect as if anyone would believe you hiding behind your keyboard.

Kate was three weeks post partum after a difficult pregnancy and had two young children in the wedding. Quite a bit of stress.

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.

But what a job! And the perks are fantastic.

I thought she looked totally fine. She wasn't snickering - she was smiling. Do you not smile at weddings?

You are punching well above your weight thinking that you would ever be considered for the “job.”

Agree. PP seems to have goals beyond wearing a crown and being humiliated by a balding, insecure man-boy cheater.

I think she’s doing a great job. Is she totally genuine with everything she does? Of course not. The job requires someone who can be performative. She’s knocking it out of the park.

Well that's your opinion. This happened years ago. Nobody else seems to notice or care and her popularity has soared.
