The reality is, this is a pattern for Kate. She has NEVER had a real job. She worked for her parents, and then worked part time. She quit the part time gig to prepare for being a Royal, and now as a Royal, has more or less avoided full time work in her role. I get that she is a mother of three, but like anyone would say on here; this is a choice. She has a job, for which she is paid and compensated for in terms of housing, etc. She has nannies at her disposal. She has resources that many women don’t have, and is still refusing to set an example of what a woman taking care of business can be.

As someone who worked in my family business for 15 years beginning at age 15, I disagree that working in a family business is not a 'real' job. It may be different from a job that you have to compete for but it is very much a real job.

I think this really boils down to your narrow perception of 'job'. Kate's 'job' is however she defines her role as the Duchess of Cambridge. Same with Meghan as the Duchess of Sussex. They're jobs are in 'the family business' of the royal family. It's a job and role that the family gets to define, not the public. [/quote]

I get it. I worked with my DH in his business for years, on top of my own full time job.

The point is the Middleton’s Have been pushing for Kate to be a Royal for years. You really think she had a “real” job? Why would someone with a degree in arts go work for their parents party planning business? [/quote]

How many people with an Art History degree work in their field?  None that I know of and I'm 50.  The people I know with Art History degrees have a wide variety of day jobs, none dealing with Art History.  Again, you have a very narrow definition of 'real job'.  Have you even looked at what Kate did after getting a Master's degree (with Honors)?  I did a cursory look online for information regarding Kate's work after graduating from college?  She worked for about 2 years as an accessories buyer for a British retailer.  She then worked for her parent's event planning company as a photographer, website designer, and marketing officer.  That aligns really well with her Art History degree.  Was her work strategic, innovative or standard setting?  Probably not, but you can't say it's not 'real' work unless, of course, you don't think people in the wedding/event industry do 'real' work for their clients.  If she didn't do that work well, you can bet clients wouldn't be happy and business would suffer.

And, so what if the Middletons pushed their DDs towards royalty?  What does that have to do with anything?  Sounds like you're buying into the class issue that still pervades the UK and/or are jealous.  Are you this judgement about other celebrity couples?  What do you think of Matt Damon marrying a waitress who had a kid from a previous relationship?  Do you think her parents were pushing her to marry an A-level celebrity?[/quote]
