Princess of Wales to attend public event tomorrow

[Anonymous]

So this was many pages back, but isn’t there a person claiming that she had a facial reconstruction after a major injury, and had her teeth replaced after said injury?

She looks…exactly the same.

She looks…refreshed. And I’m not in the camp thinking she got a facelift.

It's obviously a clone because the real Kate is missing. The Spanish journalist hasn't been sued! Question everything! I saw it on reddit!

IMO her makeup person is using a much lighter hand than before. I don’t know if this is because she was wearing white or if it’s permanent. She also had a few months of rest including with her kids in their Easter break.

The claim seems to be more that she had reconstructive surgery. That is not the same as a facelift. It might have been she injured her face and abdomen and the cancer was discovered during the abdominal surgery. It would explain the scars which don't look like plastic surgery scars.

When they are gone -- as Charles will likely be -- the monarchy will be down to William making some appearances at things like opening Parliament and approving the next Prime Minsiter. Many of the patronages and charities are already being cut out of royal sponsorship and that will continue. William and Catherine have already said they will work on fewer charities and patronages rather than many as the family has done in in the past.

For now, Camilla Princess Anne, Prince Edward, and Sophie are doing a lot of the ribbon cutting activities, although Sophie has really become a force in stopping international trafficking as has Camilla in stopping dometic violence.

Catherine is their for the glamour and what appears to be authenticity. Her projects, like much of our work, does not require face time with charities. William does a lot of face time but he also does a lot behind the scenes for his work.

Bottom line: British monarchy is shrinking with purpose and slowly disappearing from UK life. When the boomers are gone, it will likely become a republic, given the populist movement worldwide.

Agree the monarchy is shrinking in numbers (no Andrew, Harry, Meghan or other lesser royals) and that’s a wise thing. It doesn’t necessarily translate to cutting out so many there’s less work for those that remain. Other European royal families do charity work and I can’t really see William and Kate cutting back all that much.

Off-topic, but I love Sophie.

I really can’t see a future where all William does is open parliament and Kate only shows up to events that require a tiara. In fact, as you say, Kate is there for the glamor, but if nobody sees her then there’s no glamor.

You might be right about a move to a republic is inevitable. It will happen faster, though, if complaints about “workshy William” and “Princess Doolittle” (after she’s better) accelerate.

Your description of Workshy William and Princess Doolittle betrays your ignorance about the Royal family and both of them. But then -- George Washington famously said: "I did not defeat George I to become George III," so I am not sure why Americans are so fascinated about the monarchy. Could it be that they are stuck with a doddering old man who has to be lead around by his wife the esteemed D.Ed. and his vice president who spews enough word salad to keep Green Leaf in business for months.

Again, the sugar word salad is pretty hypocritical. If you guys were trashing MM and JustHaz like you do William and Catherine this thread would have been cut off at page one. Such a sad double standard and the deeply entrenched misogyny that allowed you all to vilify a white woman but won’t allow even the valid criticism of a woman that is partly descended from a person of color. Just vile woman bashing.

The comments on today’s garter event are brutal, even the “best rated” ones. I wonder at posters who think all will be fine if Kate and William just step back from all their duties in perpetuity.

Because none of it effects us as Americans. Why do you want people to be so invested in this? It will all be fine b/c it matters not at all to me one way or the other. How will your life change in the absence of royalty?

You made me look. Those comments were all generally positive (not positive about Blair but positive about the royals). Hmm.

No, there weren't positive in the least. If you click the "Best Rated" tab here's the top "Best Rated" comment:

"Whilst I feel sorry for Kate going through cancer treatment with 3 small children, she is getting the best treatment that money can buy. She's not having to work through her treatment like many people do as it's that or lose their homes and job. She has a husband who does not work full time, cleaners, gardeners, a nanny, drivers, people to shop and cook. She didn't have to join an NHS waiting list to see her GP or wait for treatment. She didn't have to be on a ward with 6 other people with their families visiting and bringing in all sorts of bugs, sharing a bathroom and being kept awake at night by others coughing and spluttering. She was brought out for a couple of hours. In a dress that someone had prepared, with hair and make up done for her. I very much doubt that's a boost to the nation. A nation that has kids in poverty, homeless people, fuel poverty, food poverty, old people choosing between food and heat, 5 week waits to see a GP, no dentist places, police not responding to burglaries..."

Sounds like a lot of places in the US. And we don't have royals.

Can't disagree with anything there but it doesn't read as brutal or even critical of anything Kate has done. She indeed has an easier life than others, and it's a springboard to critique valid issues with NHS.

To me it's brutal towards privilege, like the great privilege enjoyed by anyone in the monarchy. Which begs the question, will perceptions get better or worse if William and Kate stop even cutting ribbons.

My relatives in Britain generally get private insurance, although perhaps the richest one, who is a lower-tier public figure, didn't out of principle.
