Many women like her at GW who got a degree in English and then worked at their parents' company in Connecticut or New Jersey until their high school boyfriend finished law, medicine, or business school and then got married. Kate just followed the US model

I think you mean the US followed the UK model. The aristos have been doing that for thousands of years. Camilla was 'launched' and became a secretary but only until her first husband popped the question when she was 25. Diana was an 18 year old kindergarten teacher.

Goes back generations. The interesting thing is the Queen actually was mystified that Kate didn't work the 10 years she was waiting around for William.

I read before that she wasn’t supposed to work as William’s girlfriend and potential wife.

Literally the opposite.

There are multiple articles on this over the years from a variety of pubs.

Yes, I remember this. Her work ethic was questionable (and the Queen has a work ethic!) and it contributed to her being thought of as Waity; she did literally nothing with her life besides be at his beck and call when together, or just taking him back repeatedly after his dalliances. It was unbecoming that she had no other life, plans, or interests outside of marrying him.

Pathetic.

Ok, its a fair judgment that she didn't have a career before getting married.

But what was anyone expecting her to do? She would have been hounded by the press every single day going to and from work. I can't imagine that an employer would want that kind of attention and distraction (well maybe a PR agency but then there is likely the expectation that she will trade on her royal relationships).

So….?? This is the same woman who worked hard for a decade to be queen consort! She clearly wants the attention that comes with it.

Huh? Make up your mind. She doesn’t like attention, she doesn’t work she’s lazy, blah blah… but now all of a sudden she likes attention? Get your criticism straight- especially if you’re going to add to the multiple pages of tripe saying the same nasty things over and over again.

DP. Why couldn’t she work in an art gallery or auction house like Eugenie does? She also gets a lot of press interest but holds a job. PR isn’t a bad idea either. That’s what Sophie did. Either way there are people who are much more famous than a girlfriend of the prince of Wales that hold down full-time employment.

No one has said that. She loves attention.

This speculation on someone that we don’t know is bizarre. I think she is beautiful, seems kind and does her”job” well.

To the PP who said Kate is an “accomplished pianist” - WTF. She’s had a couple years of lessons with her kids. You can tell in the way she played.

It’s hilarious to me that you took the time to report me pointing out the obvious that “seems kind” is also speculation and then +1 yourself. Seek help!

DP. I am the +1. If you don’t believe it, ask Jeff to check the thread for sockpuppeting.

NP here. Just came to say that I am not a royal watcher and for some inexplicable reason dreamt the Queen died last night. She was wearing a blue dress and looking at horses. Her husband was there and made a joke that I can’t remember. My psychic services are free of charge. Expect an announcement shortly. Cheerio.

I doubt the younger royals are as invested into the Commonwealth as she was and these trips are likely going through the motions to keep the Queen happy rather than any sincerity. The handwriting is on the wall, and they know it. And it's fine. It cuts down on the hassles of future overseas tours.

Interesting re Jamaica is that a few years ago some polling showed the country split in half on whether independence was a good idea or not, and even so only a quarter thought Jamaica would be worse off had it remained a colony of Britain.

The Queen is rapidly aging and I'm starting to think she may not even outlast the year. The dynamics will change greatly once the Queen passes. The Cambridges will become the new Prince and Princess of Wales and much more visible and I do think they, along with Charles and Camilla, will actually do a good job.

The Commonwealth includes Australia and Canada which for some insane reason continue to financially fund the U.K. Royals. If they lose all of them they’ll be worse off than the European royals with less land than many, a larger extended family to continue to provide housing, security and funding for, and still have the most expensive monarchy in Europe.

Stop the presses! 96-year old woman passed away unexpectedly. Such a shocker!

Oh come it would be the height of irony for her to pass just before a major anniversary and especially one where the British have already spent $1 billion on public picnics in celebration. Just like Phillip passed 4 months before his 100th birthday.

I would interpret that as God saying the divine right of kings doesn't exist and they should be a republic.
