Kate Middleton looks really happy lately

The royal family has a vested interest in the world falling in love with Kate.

Don't buy this. Although an eventual split wouldn't surprise me, not while the kids are young I don't think.

I'm not a big H&M fan but I don't see divorce on the horizon at least in the immediate future.

Yes, I’m sure the lunatics have been speculating about this for years now.

I never thought about it this way.

Sophie seems to be doing ok too now after a rough start.

Yes. Kate did have a very long period of time to remain in the background and acclimate, which certainly helped. Several DCUMers have observed Meghan, in particular, experienced too many big life changes in the public eye without a realistic sense of how tough it would be to acclimate. But some of it is temperament as well. Kate is pragmatic and low-key, well suited to this life.

Willing to overlook infidelity. Yep, she fits right in.

LOL if you believe she’s Kate’s nemesis, and if you believe they’re getting a divorce.

Okay, yes, but it wasn’t so many years ago the tabloids were picking on Kate- she was a layabout who didn’t perform many official duties, she was photographed with her dress blown up by the wind, photographed nude sunbathing, pointed things were said about her parents being strivers, etc. Royalty forums had plenty of posters spreading Kate-hate.

This! They’re just a tourist attraction for England so if they stop bringing tourists in, the country might want to stop funding their lifestyle, and they may have to start dipping into their own billions. Can’t have that!

All before she produced an heir, then they eased up on her.

Agreed, though I'm basically neutral on them (not a fan, but I don't hate either of them the way many seem to). Not only do I think they'd ever split while the kids are young, I actually think recent events have bonded them together even more. Harry's book threw him all in with Meghan and with his position that he (and they collectively) have been wronged by the family and staying was intolerable. Like so many of his grievances that are now publicly aired have nothing at all to do with Meghan, but she's backing him up and supporting him while his family approaches it all with an arm's length approach and less emotionality. They are a unit now and he would not be welcomed back to the BRF with open arms at this point, so they are all in on that marriage for the foreseeable future.

Meghan and Harry and all their toxic drama are gone.

They are both products of divorce, severe dysfunction and mental illness. Throw in the stress of abandoning your family and friends and moving to another country--with very little if any contact to those old friends and it is really a huge obstacle...huge, huge. He gave up everything and he's isolated on this side of the pond without any good mates--not great confidants. That does not bode well for their future.

Sophie has a much lower profile. She and Edward don't get anything close to the scrutiny that Diana, Kate, and Meghan have received. Sarah Ferguson also got a lot more leeway from the press back in the day, but she was such an over-the-top personality (and a HUGE partier back then) that she still became tabloid fodder. You can't go on vacation with your side piece and show off about it the way she did, especially not when married to the queen's favorite son. But she still didn't get as much negative press as Diana or either of her son's wives, all of whom were hounded by the press as soon as it was known they were dating a prince.

I do think Kate handles it all exceptionally well, but I also think a primary difference between her and Diana/Meghan is that she really wants the public side of the job. She really seems to care about putting on a show a a "royal" for people and being a figurehead who represents something meaningful to people simply for existing. Diana did care about using her fame to help others, but didn't like being a symbol or figurehead. And Meghan I think expected being royal to be like a slightly more formal version of being a celebrity, and didn't understand the degree to which people would impose these very high and specific expectations on her. But Kate not only gets that, I think she likes it. I think being married to and then mother to the future kinds of England is basically her calling, which is sort of wild.
