Literally this lol. The whole thing around Kate and Meghan is ridiculous. There are a ton of crazy people on the internet (and in real life, but I haven't encountered them) who hate Meghan and prop up Kate and those who hate Kate and prop up Meghan. The things I've seen said about both of these women are insane. I'm a raging liberal and like Kate. I first was interested in following her because as someone with a history of addiction in my family, I really liked that one of her first patronages was about destigmatizing addition.

Between William and Kate, their interests are early childhood development, addiction, helping women in prison, mental health, fighting climate change, the arts, cancer research, and children's hospice care. Some of those have overlap with conservative interests, some do not. Their statement about Israel and Gaza was much better than a lot of democrats that I've seen. I honestly think they both are very smart to keep most of their personal thoughts and feelings private. That makes a lot of people think they're boring but if the worst people are saying about you is that you're boring, that's probably a good thing.

Ma'am Kate hasn't done anything tangible for her Early years program. Not one thing. She rarely does a speech or meeting but nothing tangible. She put out a Five Things list or something about early development that she took from an already established early development think tank and charity. She has been married in since 2011 and has very little to show for it.

As for addiction and women in prison, she made two visits in her 14 years of marriage and that's all I can find on the manner.

Heads Together was a charity developed by Prince Harry via their joint foundation. His team put together the events, Harry planned them, and Kate and William showed up for the photo
ops. When Harry left the charity remained with Kate and William and they haven't done any events since.

William only recently started Earthshot, his environmental charity, and by all accounts including his own it's more of a commercial endeavor than an outright charity. Winners are promised $5 million over several years to see their projects to commercial success however most winners have not received anywhere close to that amount and some have had to fold their research projects entirely. Every year the Earthshot gala is held in a different country which means a ton of travel for all involved learning to environmental harm. Also, Earthshot takes in tens of millions from Billionaire funders who themselves have made their money in industries that harm the environment. And recent reports have shown that the "charity" spends more on yearly overhead than it does actually finding the projects that won the monetary prize. Earthshot is not living up to its mission statement and is barely an actual charity.

Neither William and Kate have done much for cancer research or children's hospice besides go visit for photo ops a handful of times on 14 years. They haven't donated their own money. They haven't brought others in to help fund them either. Rose Hanbury, William's sometime affair partner and Kate's ex-friend, did put together charity garden parties for children's hospice care to which William and Kate attended. That's about it.

It's 2025, let's stop propping up rich people with unearned and unwarranted accolades.

You are scary and obsessed.

She’s an absolute psycho.

DP. But nothing she said was untrue. I personally would cut Kate some slack because she clearly has some sort of health/mental health thing going on for quite awhile. But William doesn’t seem interested in much which is kind of interesting because both of his parents (I know everyone hates Charles) had causes they were quite passionate about.

The reality has always been that if they could hang it up tomorrow and just enjoy their riches and lifestyle without the royal duties they would do it tomorrow and we would never see them again. As a couple, they're well matched this way, but in their roles they are totally uninspired and passionate or inspiring. The queen acknowledged that too! They go through the motions to varying degrees of success, but that's clearly what it is.

Yep. She called and Can’t and Won’t.

It's the same as poor people voting republican: they somehow imagine that their future involves moving in those circles themselves. They are blind to the contempt in which Rs hold them. "Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat, but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires."

Oh, and there's the racial aspect. When Meghan came onto the scene, they were aghast that a black women could be elevated above them, and rallied around Kate, whose whiteness makes her automatically superior in their eyes.

Is it just the one mentally ill person who posts this garbage, or are there several? Good grief. Oh, and MM is totally off-topic here.

Completely agree. And there is a certain type of woman for whom this natural grace really makes them furious. How dare she! They can't stand it and it's pathetic.

I’m a bit confused because we don’t really have hierarchy or status here in the US so why do conservative women act like they’re…equivalent to Kate?

I am a liberal woman. I think Kate is great because she is dignified and gracious. And we need more dignified and gracious people in this world. It is also fun to see how she and William are growing into their roles. It is not that deep.

You can't possibly be a liberal woman and think that the racist POS Kate is dignified and gracious or that her husband is anything but an angry lazy sack of shit who treats her like shit. Kate social climbed to her position. Her mother pushed her to decline admission to another (better!) college so that she could go to St Andrew's when William was there. When they learned he would be on a trip to Chile, she took a trip to the same place at what she thought was the same time but missed him because he changed his dates at the last minute. She was known by his friends as "sex waiting" and "the mattress" because she always made herself available to him on his terms. There is so much out there from their college days and and before their wedding. I didn't think most people really know the real Kate Middleton. Let's not even forget how mean she was to William's cousins before marriage and Meghan Markle when she married Harry. Kate has a not so great reputation. But William is far far worse and for that reason alone I sometimes feel really sorry for her.

Southern WW love her because they tend to be about image, status, and white supremacy. Kate embodies their ideals of a commoner white woman who became a Disney princess with the titles and tiaras and jewels. It's a white girl fantasy... I'm surround by them in my family. They also have negligent husbands and troublesome in-laws but think that their money and status is worth it. They likely don't work and are dependent on their husbands/fathers and social status to keep them afloat.

Remember the south wanted to stay a British realm and wanted to maintain slavery. Of course they identify with Kate Middleton and she knows it too because there is a hilarious portrait of her for her 40th birthday where she is styled as being from the Antebellum era.

Accurate. Southern white women still using their “family crest” on their stationary and clinging to historically “significant” great great great great great great great grandmother to desperately prove they come from upper class British bloodlines is one of the funniest observations I made living there.

God forbid anyone be interested in their roots.

They are only interested in the one person in the entire history of the family tree that was famous. The other 99.9% of the gene pool is irrelevant . Like a lot of them like to say they’re are related to Gen Lee. That was so long ago, most people are related to him. But they’ll ride that hard. So weird.

+1 liberal and admire Catherine. The republicans prefer MM because she’s fake and dishonest like trump

Just stop trying to stir up fake $hit. "The Republicans" and "The Democrats" don't have preferences between these two women. Grow up.

If by “natural” you mean worked and practiced hard her whole life. From being raised by her mother to “marry up” and groomed to get his attention. Sure.

I’ll give her this, she has incredible self-control.

Can the people who hate Kate just state up front that it's all about MM? It's pretty obvious that people start these threads just to talk about MM and praise her. Can't you just do that without bringing up Kate in your fangirling? They are separate people who have nothing to do with each other.

So obvious. The chip on their shoulders can be seen from space.

You could easily just tune them out. It’s really not hard to not follow them if it enrages you so.

They will never ever get over the fact that they don’t have a royal princess anymore. Now she’s just Meghan selling honey or jam or whatever on Netflix. So downscale.

We? You mean Americans? No, perhaps you have forgotten history but a lot of us don’t like the idea of royalty. In fact, a lot of us think it’s silly and a waste of money.

The Kate-Meghan drama seemed like a cultural difference and big egos all around. And I can’t say that either one of them comes off looking great.

Please. If they didn’t like royalty they would have turned their backs on Meghan for selling out and marrying into it. That’s hardly it.

Such an odd interpretation. Only people who watched Suits even knew who she was. You sound like you’re not American and haven’t even spent much time in the US.

This is not at all accurate.
