Do you think Kate Middleton is genuine

My problem with her is the “child mental health” platform. It makes no sense to me to be about child mental health and then let your small children be working royals and public figures. To me she’s in the same category as influencers who put their kids on public tik tok.

It wouldn’t sink the monarchy for the children to have private childhoods. They don’t have to be displayed.

I think this is intentional. I think Kate is admirable in that she would put up with ANYTHING, and I do mean ANYTHING to cling to her role. I think she does a good job generally, but man, it's been 20+ years and she cannot give a decent speech or interview even on topics that she supposedly cares about. She can kinda, sorta, maybe muddle through alone on something very rehearsed (ie she can perform at a B-level), but sit her with anyone else and she can't even really keep up in a conversation or back and forth dialogue. It's a really bad look and I think the palace smartly knows this, which is why her speaking is kept to a minimum.

This. I think she is an ice queen behind closed doors.

Maybe, but that's what makes her good at her job. Who knows or cares if any of it is genuine, she entered into the role voluntarily and seems to be handling it as well as possible. As long as she's good to her children (who don't have a choice in their life yet), I couldn't care less what her personal relationship is with the rest of the royal family. They're all adults and she chose this life knowing full well what it would take.

Not to get into a MM vs. Kate debate, but I think other royal figures like Diana and MM just didn't full comprehend what the lifestyle would entail until it was too late. Maybe they should have known better, but I can sympathize with someone in an unsustainable situation that can't get themselves out without millions of watching eyes. I think Kate was either forethinking enough to really get it, or has the mental fortitude to deal with it, even if it's harder than she expected. The British royal family seems like an absolute nightmare, and I don't think many of us could handle the pressure any better.

Because Kate married the future king, I think she was afforded a luxuries and support MM didn't get. I think the establishment was sure to not recreate the BS Diana had to deal with for Kate by sheltering her some and giving her tons of institutional support/training to make sure she succeeded. The tabloids are pretty soft of her when compared to MM and Diana. That significantly helps her public persona.

she's the opposite of a mean girl. my mother had hospice care from a nurse who was at school with her. she stood up for the underdog all the time, told off the mean girls who mocked another girl who had acne, befriended the girl with acne and kept her safe

This just sounds like a made up story. I bet MM could give you a ton of examples of Kate being a mean girl.

10000000% performative.

Her laugh and smile seem 100% genuine. She really seems to have loosened up even more lately.

I do think she is protective and on guard for very good reason, but she genuinely seems to care about people. Her own family is very close and she gets good values from them.

She actually was brutalized, bullied hard in school--kids made fun of her family for their new # and mother being a former stewardess. I think this is why she does pull for the underdog.

I do believe that she loves her children. She definitely views her marriage as a job.

She's going to be the mother effin' Queen of England. Ain't nothing to feel sorry about.

I agree but I think she does that because she genuinely loves England and believes in the mission of the crown.

I don’t think so. She’s a trophy wife and William was the goal. Every so often the facade drops and she can’t help but slap his hand when he tries to touch her. It’s exactly like Milania with Donald Trump.

She doesn't have enough fortitude to slap anything.

Oh it’s more like when he surprises her by trying to be affectionate. She can’t help the instinct to slap him away, then immediately realizes how that looks and tries to compensate.

The clips were hilarious.

Which clips?

If you are being honest, you need to do an AMA.

I think she compartmentalizes her different life roles very well. When she is being Princess of Wales (and before that Duchess of Cambridge), she performs for that part. I do not believe we are seeing the real her. When she is at home with her family and friends, I am sure she is more natural/genuine around them.

That's not necessarily a bad thing. It is probably best that in her public facing roles, she keeps her genuine self in private.

+1 There is zero upside to anyone in that family being their genuine self in public. I don't think I have any insight into this woman's true character, and I think that's smart on her part. She probably puts on her Public Face every time she leaves the house and wears it easily at this point.

I don't believe you.

I think she has a backbone of steal and veins of ice.

The only way she's not going to end up on that throne is if William kicks her off it. Girlfriend didn't spend 20 years debasing herself to not make it to the final round.

I also think she’s genuinely committed to following through with a life of service in the monarchy.

When she’s performing that service, might she also “perform” a little? I’m sure she does. Can’t imagine that she’s equally delighted to go to every charity event she ever attends. She too must have bad days, days when she’s worried about something and doesn’t even really want to be around people and instead is performative/fakes it.

I had to check the date on this post, how have you not witnessed their past 3 years?
