As an aside.. if Kate found her HG to be so life altering, she could choose to help awareness, research, medical care, etc. towards that cause. That is her role. 
If she beLieves mothers should have 18 months off after birth to care for their children, she could support that cause. Or at least support women who don’t have the types of resources she has.

Of course, her patronage is mostly based on sport and the like  (croquet / lawn tennis / sailing / art).

I am the PP who has/had HG and is in the support group and I actually really agree that she should be doing more to bring awareness to it.

And you can say it is cured by pregnancy but you can tell that to the women who's teeth have all started rotting from the repeated vomit, from the women who have permanent renal damage or the women who lost their jobs/homes because they couldn't work, to the women who's finances are destroyed by $1000 a month in ER visits for fluids for 9 months. But I know, severe HG isn't the topic of this thread and she had better medical care for it than most women get. The HG community in general is happy that the fact that she had it brought awareness but let me tell you after having been through it myself, if I had a platform like hers I would be using it to bring awareness to HG.

But see.. this is where Kate COULD be working. I never thought of the implications, because I didn’t have HG. But let’s be real: Kate is not suffering dental implications, electrolyte imbalances, job loss, or any of it, no this would be a decent cause for her to take on. 18 months or whatever it is on, she could reasonably carrying a workload.

I totally agree. Amy Schumer did more to bring awareness to what it really is like than Kate did. And it really is a condition that is lacking tremendously in support and research. Many women are still told it is psychosomatic and proof that they don't want their babies. As they literally suffer endlessly to bring them to term.[/quote]

British upper classes do not discuss he details of pregnancy and related medical conditions.  [/quote]

Are you saying this is a good thing? Women need top task about this stuff in order to secure adequate healthcare[/quote]

The PP is also wrong. Just because they believe something doesn't make it true. The British upper classes absolutely do discuss pregnancy and related medical conditions.

After Sophie, the Countess of Wessex, went through a public miscarriage and two nearly-fatal pregnancies she became the patron of the Royal London Hospital, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, St John Ambulance,  and Thames Valley Air Ambulance. All of which played a role in saving her and her children's lives. She raises money and supports them in their causes to help other women.

Princess Eugenie, the blood Royal, was born with scoliosis -- a curvature of the back. Not only did she become Patron of the organization that did her corrective surgery over childhood, the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, but she also made it the central part of her wedding day by wearing a dress prominently featuring the scar and talking about it.

Kate could do more, even by just becoming a respected advocate and speaker on the topics she'd intimately familiar with...that have nothing to do with rich women's fantasies of gardening and tennis.[/quote]
