ITA. She chased after (or waited for) that man for 10 years of her life.

Another in agreement. I don't think it's particularly dignified to take someone back after cheating and who makes it clear you're the backup. I guess she's dignified in putting up with humiliation but I don't find that particularly admirable.

DP. It’s not dignified and not what most people would want for their daughters. However, she really sacrificed a lot for her family or origin. If it weren’t for being royal adjacent her parents would’ve gone broke years ago and her siblings, especially her bummy brother, would not have been able to marry as well as he did.

+1 same for her sister. No way Pippa would’ve landed a billionaire.

Probably not, but I remember pre-wedding Carol Middleton sort of low key admiting she had groomed her daughters to marry well and expressing real shock that Kate was the one who was ascending into this position. To her, she thought Pippa was cuter and had a more lively, outgoing personality. Of course she is their mom and loves them, but the subtext read like, "I raised them the same but I never thought it would be the more homely, boring one who did this!"

Pippa has a great figure and seems to have a fun personality but looks very average. Carole probably hoped she’d land Harry LOL. Her husband is super rich, so looks like she did okay.

Pippas husband is much richer than Harry and seems decent. His father, Pippas FIL, is an alleged pedophile though

Whoa. Do tell.

I think Pippi is actually better looking.

Her husband is ugly.

+1 oh yeah. For sure. But I guess she was willing to overlook that for $$$$

In that case, both brothers married actresses and social climbers. The only difference is that Kate has the style, pose, and personality of a British queen.

Definitely. It’s the perfect place for someone with no real skills or intellect. She sure is pretty, though.

If we could harness the schadenfreude Meghan’s mediocrity is generating, our energy problems would be over.

Who wouldn’t. When they were playing tennis, they both looked like they wanted a post court set of steamy sex.

So is Kate’s though. Pippa’s husband is kind of a butter face.

The pedo FIL is supposedly the reason that Kate and Piipa aren’t photographed together in public these days.

She seems to have good social skills, needed for PR and non-profit work.

To be fair, so does Meghan Markle, only she complains and diverts focus to self more than a person in such roles should.

Has a faithful and loyal husband.

Of corse Diana was. I think both Kate and Diana are (were, respectively) social climbers.

Yes but then would you count Meghan and her mom as social climbers as well?

DP and I do think Meghan and her mom are strivers but I don't think Meghan is in the same category as Diana and Kate, both of whom I think married with the specific intent to marry into the royal family and become royals. Whereas I think Meghan is an opportunist who has always looked for ways to earn more money or gain more social status, whether through her acting career, her influencer website, or social media. I think Meghan genuinely fell for Harry and then looked for ways to make that work "synergistically" for her because that's how her brain works -- how does this play into my brand? how do I pivot my career to work with the BRF and this relationship? I don't think becoming a Princess was her ultimate goal, but she did seek to exploit it (and still does) to her benefit because I think she's always looking for more financial security and social leverage.

Whereas for Kate/Diana, the marriage and becoming Princess was the thing. In both cases because their families wanted/needed them to, but Kate was obviously much better prepared for the role and I think ultimately wanted the public-facing and responsibility side of it, whereas I think Diana just wanted the clothes and the parties, at least at first (eventually I do think she appreciated the way her position allowed her to help people she cared about, and overlooking her work with AIDS patients or land mine survivors shortchanges her, even if it's okay to acknowledge she was pretty shallow and not terribly intellectual most of her life).
