Do you think Kate Middleton is genuine

Most people display different sides of themselves at work, to their bosses, at a charity fundraiser, the other parents at school than what you see when they get together with close friends or family. The higher the stakes, the bigger the gap. I can't imagine stakes much higher than the BRF.

You make a good point. She's not going to act off her inner emotions in public. Any public persona, but especially royalty, has a set decorum to follow.

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.

what sounds made up? My mother was told it effectively when she was on her death bed. I'm not making it up, she didn't make it up and her nurse told her in private with nothing to gain.

Befriended a girl with acne? Wow I didn’t realize people with acne are now considered worthy of pity and need people to keep them safe. Safe from what? Aggressive pimple poppers?

I used to feel more positively towards KM but as time went on my opinion has fallen.

She works very hard at projecting decorum which is a strength. However her story of dating and falling in love with William feels very fake. When they were in their 20’s he basically disrespected her and treated her like shit. She stayed and married him anyways. There was a brief lag where he seemed to improve then he was back to cheating and treating her like shit. She stays because she cares about her social standing above all else. That’s not aspirational.

She’s also been in this public persona role for over a decade and still can’t figure out how to give a speech. That’s incompetent.

She makes public missteps all the time. I can’t get the image of her laughing at the gospel choir at Meghan and Harry’s wedding out of my head. She’s too old to be so stupid. Did she really think she wouldn’t be photographed at a royal wedding?

It’s also sad that one of the most positive things that can be said about her is that she’ll put up with anything William does to cling to her title. In that sense she adds stability to the monarchy but is otherwise a terrible role model. She’s ineffective at her job and can’t promote her chosen patronage.

I guess the only fully positive thing that can be said about her is that she loves her children.

I mean when she’s doing her events or whatever it’s performative. With that weird mouth wide open smile thing she does at every event…that is performative. But at the same time she’s essentially at work so that’s not really weird. I don’t think she truly cares about the charity aspect of her job but think that that’s true of Camilla, Andrew, and to a lesser extent William. I think she truly loves her kids and her parents. I think she did really love William at one point and probably still does but they seem like either they have something going on or they’re just past the passionate stage in their relationship as they do way more separate events than they used to and she doesn’t go with him on any of his overseas trips anymore or at least since the Caribbean one.

DP. She never stood up for Pippa when everyone called her own face at their school but put it all on the line for a random girl with acne? Seems unlikely unless the acne girl was titled

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?

What is so odd about what's said here? The cheating reports mean she cannot possibly love her husband? Other people have stated that they believe she does, as well. And the rest of it is verbatim what other people have said.

I don't really understand the question. Being a "working" royal is a performing arts job. You wear weird hats and wave a lot, sometimes you greet crowds. Diana was a performer too.

It's supposed to be performative; she is literally playing a role. To her credit: KM understands the assignments.

Isn't it a bit bothersome that she hasn't broadened her role to even simple speaking engagements?

Great hair, smile, figure, and children...okay. Why can't she read off of an index card and truly show up for her duties?

I can't imagine how much training she must have been afforded as the future queen, and she can't seem to put it to any use?

??? The queen herself was a terrible speaker.
