I think it may be a generational thing but most people my age don’t view Kate as aspirational. She’s a beautiful woman but her life seems really boring and unfulfilling. She’s kinda like living Melania Trump’s life with two more kids.


Transactional, stupid, and uninvolved is how I see both Melania and Kate. Great they're involved with their kids but they use them to shield them from any actual responsibilities in their respective positions. The fact that Kate was known for three things in 10 years - wigs, skin, and coatdresses - says its all. No accomplishments whatsoever.

Now she's aging and you can see the distress on her face because what does she have now? You can't use kids in boarding schools as an excuse.

Hell, come to think of it I've seen William doing more daddy daycare crap than Kate but maybe the press just don't sell shots of her? Its so weird.

Well I think of her efforts to shine light on early childhood development/the first 5 years of a child’s life. She doesn’t need to win Nobel prizes or have notBke accomplishments.

Maybe she just wants to raise her kids and patronize things she cares about and settle in for the long haul. What, they’ve been married for ten years? She’s got another 50 in the spotlight. I don’t run marathons but isn’t it a bad idea to sprint the first few miles?


Sprint? The girl's got training wheels on still and she's been after/living with William since she was 19.



Ok so what are you actually looking for from her? UN floor speeches? Full time job? Fire the nanny?

I just don’t get what standard she is being held to.


I mean...you said it not me. Its not like its hard. Future Queens and current ones have been doing this since well before turning 40.

Then again the European counterparts to Kate aren't dumb as a rock.



In your hurry to bash Kate you neglected to mention that Maxima is the counterpart of QEII and Mary is the equivalent of Camilla.


I don't think that makes much difference. The point is that they have a command of knowledge that Kate has never come close to displaying. Nothing she's ever said about childhood development has been particularly insightful or erudite. We saw that when she did that event Jill Biden.

Mary and Maxima are both over 50, BTW, and look fantastic.

And, so what? Kate is who she is, not what you think she needs to be.

Sigh. Maxima and Mary were doing excellent speeches and working with global organizations long before they took up their new positions. In fact, here's a secret - the Countess of Wessex (of the British Royal Family) also regularly briefs the U.N. and she's about 3 rungs lower than Kate on the totem pole.

Stop excusing the lazy sloth.


+1
Diana used her position to raise awareness of various issues (land mines and AIDS come to mind) but Kate just says early childhood is important. Well… duh. What is she going to use her position to do about it? Which issues of poverty affect children the most in Great Britain?

She had a great upbringing and did well enough to get into St. Andrews. But then did the rich girl looking for an MRS history of art major, was an accessories buyer for a few years but really just partied in the rich set of 20 somethings in London and successfully pursued William. She’s a party girl who likes fashion and rich lady things. She never really worked, sure had a fun job for the aesthetics of it, but meh.


You’ve encapsulated her perfectly. Though I she is by nature introverted, and put on the party girl persona at the advice of Carole to snag a rich aristocracy dude (and it worked!) True extroverts can usually string two sentences together, and judging by her appearance with Jill Biden, she absolutely cannot.

It makes a huge difference and not acknowledging that shows how little you understand about the roles and protocols for royalty. You also failed to mention they (M and M) have been royalty longer than Kate.

Hogwash. I didn't judge Kate for not speaking about big national policy issues. I judged her for not seeming to know that much about her own chosen area of interest.

Furthermore, Kate is not an ingenue. She's a 40 year old woman with a college degree who's been the wife of the future king for over a decade.

Exactly. Kate isn’t intellectually curious….at best.

I’d bet a lot of the people commenting on Kate’s intelligence are the same who engage in the SAHM vs WOHM battles.

I could ask why you care so much, too. I don’t particularly care. I just think that with the massive platform and opportunities that she has been granted, I would want to do something with it other than shopping, getting my hair done and vacationing on private islands. She and her husband exist on the taxpayers dime in extreme luxury. They don’t hold up their end of the deal.

Mary and Maxima are both over 50, BTW, and look fantastic.


It makes a huge difference and not acknowledging that shows how little you understand about the roles and protocols for royalty. You also failed to mention they (M and M) have been royalty longer than Kate.

If she can’t warm up to a job with ten years…

I think it may be a generational thing but most people my age don’t view Kate as aspirational. She’s a beautiful woman but her life seems really boring and unfulfilling. She’s kinda like living Melania Trump’s life with two more kids.


Transactional, stupid, and uninvolved is how I see both Melania and Kate. Great they're involved with their kids but they use them to shield them from any actual responsibilities in their respective positions. The fact that Kate was known for three things in 10 years - wigs, skin, and coatdresses - says its all. No accomplishments whatsoever.

Now she's aging and you can see the distress on her face because what does she have now? You can't use kids in boarding schools as an excuse.

Hell, come to think of it I've seen William doing more daddy daycare crap than Kate but maybe the press just don't sell shots of her? Its so weird.

Well I think of her efforts to shine light on early childhood development/the first 5 years of a child’s life. She doesn’t need to win Nobel prizes or have notBke accomplishments.

Maybe she just wants to raise her kids and patronize things she cares about and settle in for the long haul. What, they’ve been married for ten years? She’s got another 50 in the spotlight. I don’t run marathons but isn’t it a bad idea to sprint the first few miles?


Sprint? The girl's got training wheels on still and she's been after/living with William since she was 19.



Ok so what are you actually looking for from her? UN floor speeches? Full time job? Fire the nanny?

I just don’t get what standard she is being held to.


I mean...you said it not me. Its not like its hard. Future Queens and current ones have been doing this since well before turning 40.

Then again the European counterparts to Kate aren't dumb as a rock.



In your hurry to bash Kate you neglected to mention that Maxima is the counterpart of QEII and Mary is the equivalent of Camilla.


I don't think that makes much difference. The point is that they have a command of knowledge that Kate has never come close to displaying. Nothing she's ever said about childhood development has been particularly insightful or erudite. We saw that when she did that event Jill Biden.

Such BS. She's useless and I can tell when Kate is 58 you'll be saying 'Well what do you want her to do - she's a SENIOR. CITIZEN. Retirees don't work'.

God so pathetic.

20...girl was attending all of William's major events like a leech for ten years pre-marriage.

Sigh. Maxima and Mary were doing excellent speeches and working with global organizations long before they took up their new positions. In fact, here's a secret - the Countess of Wessex (of the British Royal Family) also regularly briefs the U.N. and she's about 3 rungs lower than Kate on the totem pole.

Stop excusing the lazy sloth.


+1
Diana used her position to raise awareness of various issues (land mines and AIDS come to mind) but Kate just says early childhood is important. Well… duh. What is she going to use her position to do about it? Which issues of poverty affect children the most in Great Britain?

Why do you care so much? Are you paying Kates salary?

I could ask why you care so much, too. I don’t particularly care. I just think that with the massive platform and opportunities that she has been granted, I would want to do something with it other than shopping, getting my hair done and vacationing on private islands. She and her husband exist on the taxpayers dime in extreme luxury. They don’t hold up their end of the deal.


Not for much longer
