Disappointed in Kate Middleton

[Anonymous]

Ugh, are you the same people who keep breathing life into those stupid Kane threads? Get a life. You are ruining this forum. Go back to Babycenter or Celebitchy. Scat!

She doesn't have to cook, clean, but like PP, I would never in a million years want to be royalty.

Of course she has a nanny. At least they could dress the nanny better. That uniform looks horrible and makes no sense.

That uniform wasn't picked by Kate or the royal family. It's the Norland nanny uniform: http://www.norland.co.uk/college/about/norland_college_history

"The Uniform

Emily Ward quickly recognised that Norland Nurses (as Norland graduates were originally known) needed to be recognised as professionals (and not mistaken for housemaids) so she introduced the uniform. Norland Nurses would not only wear the uniform when training at the college but also once qualified in the workplace - they were recognisable wherever they went.

The uniform is still a strong part of Norland’s tradition. In the same way that a professional nurse would be expected to wear a uniform, Norland students are expected to wear their uniform with pride, and to adhere to the strict uniform guidelines. Norland graduates are no longer expected, however, to wear their uniform when working in a family, unless the family specifically wants them to."

So who wanted her to wear this hideous thing?

They'll wear what they want, just like you!

Do all you Kate apologists seriously think it's okay to be the kind of person who accepts other human beings bowing and curtseying to you? Is it okay that the hereditary leaders of a major "democratic", economic and military power will be white and male for at least the next 50 years? That no one else -- no matter how smart or how capable -- can be head of state? Would you accept that? No Kennedy. No Carter. No Obama. No chance of your own child growing up to be president. Just century after century of a family that was the best at killing people and stealing land a thousand years ago.

Brave men better than any of us spilled their blood to get us away from that nonsense. Kate worked long and hard for 10 years to join that circus and that's everything you need to know about her.

And I do not envy any of them. There are literally thousands of SAHM's married to hedge funders, tech titans, etc who live a far more luxurious life and I could care less what they do or how they live because they are not being held up as role models when they're essentially mascots of a deeply undemocratic institution.

Please THINK about not just the person but the values you're defending and its effects on a society's class structure and aspirations and the message you're conveying to your own children.

+1000

The obsession with that family that is propped up as "figure heads" while essentially living off their stolen money from years of plundering countries around the world and off the people of a country they don't have any authority to govern. All the while still expecting to be treated as royalty as if they are still the monarchs.

Her "job" is like, participating in charity rowing competitions sometimes. I'm not even expecting her to DO much work, especially since she was wealthy and did not need a source of income. I just wish she used her status and privileged and royal connections to stand up for something and contribute in a real way.

People made excuses for her saying she was in a difficult place dating William and needing to be low key until her marriage. Well, she got married and has done nothing of significance so far with her new found power and status. She makes a few appearances and spends the rest of the time doing nothing. SO LAZY.

She's raising two children.
What job is more important than that??
Over the top outsourcing would be lazy.

By some accounts, they have a team of nannies. I would consider that "over the top" outsourcing.

And to the other PP: I live in Nova, I have frequented this site since 2010, and I also go to Celebitchy. There have been dozens of Kate threads, long before those mouth breathing Kane people found this site. So neither i nor any of the other people who also frequent Celebitchy need to go anywhere. Besides - those commenters are deeply annoying. What a circle backpat. So to speak.

That picture is from their daughters christening. That uniform is her 'dress uniform' that she would wear for special occasions. It's a very prestigious school and she wears it with pride, just like military dress uniforms.

What really is she going to do? I appreciate that she is championing mental health issues in young people, but the other royals are equally as boring (except for Harry). People need to stop expecting her to be something she never will be.

Also Diana took on the harder issues - e.g. land mines - once she was separated from Charles and her kids were older.

Diana was also known to spend very little time with William and Harry as children. They were basically raised by nannies.

This isn't true. In fact, if it weren't for Diana, the boys would have been shipped off to boarding schools a lot younger like Charles.

Exactly. And when she was away from her children, it was to fulfill whatever royal duty she was booked for and I don't think she had much say about it, unlike Kate, apparently.

Nope. It's well-known those were photo ops with the kids. She spent very little time with them. It was the way she was raised. Kate was not raised that way and Prunce William repeatedly has said how much he lives Kate's family and spends much time-holidays, dinners, hanging out. Grandma Carole stayed with Kate after births to help out.

Kate is required to make State appearances so has a nanny to watch kids while she does just that.

PP, you are wrong. Princess Diana spent time with her kids and more than just "photo ops." It may not have been the way she was raised, but Charles was sent to boarding school very young at age 10.

I don't really care if Kate Middleton has a nanny or not. But she's not just there for the occasional helping out at public ceremonies. She is like part of the family and probably spends as much time with the kids if not more than their parents.

She's a spoiled rich kid. She has never worked a day in her life. Her sole contribution to the world is sleeping with some guy and pumping out a few kids.

You just described my grandmother, it's called Old Money, get used to it.

The Middletons are not old money. Her parents are teachers who started a party supply company.

Wow you are dense, she married into it. Quit being jealous and find your own rich guy.

Not jealous. I just don't get the adulation of a woman who is essentially a prostitute. She traded her sexuality and fertility for cash. She is no different than a hooker.

I don't need to marry money, BTW. I made my own, like Kate's mother did. Kate should have been raised better.

Are you the same crazy person that posts all over any news article online that features Kate? Do you keep a photo of her on your dartboard?
My mother was born into money, married my wealthy father and pretty much just raised us kids. If you caller her a prostitute I would kick your teeth down your throat. She raised me and my two brothers. All of us are hard working people who contribute to society. Kate is raising good kids that will be much better than if they were being raised by absentee parents. It all evens out in the end. Take a breath OP, get a hobby and get some sleep.

NP. Since your mother didn't live off taxpayers and expect elderly people to curtsey to her and call her "Your Highness" and "Ma'am" I don't care how she lived. Taking care of a family and household is as honorable a way to live as any. I do think your dear mother should have taught you a richer vocabulary and how to use your words.

For Pete's sake, the Queen/King are just figureheads! They are not running the commonwealth! They just show up to cut ribbons. Yep - I have no problem with the figurehead of a foreign country being white/male.

They are not just figureheads.

What about Prince Charles's "black spider" letters to MPs? Or that this family is exempt from the freedom of information act and inheritance taxes? Or that the queen can never be prosecuted for any crime, ever? Or that they cost the British taxpayer $3 billion a year at a time of austere severity cuts? That Will and Kate kicked a charity out of a section of Kensington Palace, spent almost $5 million in tax money renovating it and then decided they'd rather live in the country. You really should get your news from something other than People magazine.

And if you have no problem with another country's head of state -- by operation of law -- necessarily being white and male for the indefinite future, you must have been A-ok with apartheid-era South Africa. The really bad thing is that people like you have resulted in the election we have before us this year.

NP. I thought it was an excellent use of words. Vivid and conveyed her intended meaning perfectly.

Chill, PP. We fought a war because we didn't want the British royals to be our head of state, not because we didn't want them to be anyone's head of state.

Her kids are too young. Give her a break. I bet she'll figure it out in 10 years or so.

[Anonymous]

I do not understand these vituperative attacks. She does extremely well in her position -- which is not rocket scientist. She is a pretty serious amateur photographer, she's quite athletic, and she has chosen mental health as an area to focus on. She has also done a lot for British fashion.

She seems to genuinely be an extrovert, and she smiles a lot. And, I don't know how many nannies they have, but it seems clear that she and William spend a fair amount of time with their kids. She is doing well at everything her role requires.

If you don't think that there should be such a role; fine. But why take it so personally?

What's not to like?

Her post wasn't directed at me but you think threatening to assault someone is a legitimate means of expressing yourself?
