[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So a skinny, history major who take average to good photos. Impressive resume for a future queen. [/quote]

Would you be more impressed if she was fat? What an odd thing to fixate on.[/quote]

DP : And what an odd thing for the PP — that this PP is responding to — to list as an accomplishment.  I’ve wondered about Kate’s  actual interest in Art History.  The British Royal Family has a truly stellar art collection, as well as quite a few historically and architecturally meaningful buildings and grounds.  I’m surprised that, at least as far as I know, Kate hasn’t publicly taken these areas up as an interest. In her place, I would totally feel like a kid in a candy shop, surrounded by centuries of paintings, furnishings, and significant interiors. [/quote]

It's because she never gave a crap about art history. [b]She was exactly like the British equivalent of a sorority girl who took an easy major at college because she was really trying to get an MRS degree.[/b]

There's a very old video, from like over a decade ago, of Kate Middleton timidly trotting behind the Queen when they went to look at a Faberge egg. And Miss Art History stuttered and looked on blankly throughout the viewing, with nothing interesting to say, no questions to ask, and certainly no real curiosity in the art piece.[/quote]

Brit here.  Kate graduated with a 2:1 Honours degree.  While perfectly good and respectable, I know that the mums of DCUM would expect more from their own children.  Kate's 2:1 degree is an Upper Second-Class Honours degree.  It is good, but it isn't a First.  And with the grade inflation that was becoming more common even when Kate was a student, her 2:1 signals to me that she's a perfectly competent, intelligent girl who works hard, but isn't really gifted or passionate about her field of study.[/quote]Yes. And she did nothing related to the subject after university. She spent like 10 years doing nothing while waiting for William to decide if he'd marry her. Not even a posh-kids's job at a high-end art gallery. Or humanitarian work with the UN, or support for causes that really mattered to her. Nope, she did nothing with her time as Waity Katie.

I agree with you that she's actually very smart - does anybody believe they just happened to bump into each other at St. Andrews and just happen to randomly fall in love? - but I guess she used her above-average brain to basically get a ring on her finger.

That's also why she's a perfectly inoffensive and polite royal, but she also has no causes that she's actually passionate about. She's handling her role as Princess with tact and intelligence, but no actual passion. She wants to ensure she gets to live in a palace, so she won't rock the boat and will do her duties politely. (Which makes her better than the nightmare woman from Montecito, I suppose.)[/quote]

Wow. You really hate Kate. This perfectly nice mom of three who has not made a misstep in a very high profile position somehow gets under your skin so much you rant over and over about her and the best you can come up with is that she *may* not be as interested in art history as you would like?  She did work by the way, before she married wills and I seem to remember an interview where she described how hurtful it was to have the press call her names like lazy Katie or waity Katie. All the Windsor brides get roasted by the press, she just didn’t moan on and on about it and seems to be doing well going the stiff upper lip route [/quote]
