I think she is a good Mum to those kids. I've seen her out with them more than once in her private life and it's obvious she has a warm, close relationship with them. I agree that this is good for the heir and spares.
But it's daft trying to make Wimbledon nothing other than that she goes because she likes it. I say that as someone who actually goes at least once a year and is a big tennis fan. She doesn't want anyone noticing the clothes but she wore Wimbledon purple - was she expecting no one to notice.
I like her. I think she has brought enormous stability to William and that will help him for the rocky road ahead. But...the Palace don't always help her with the publicity and visits she goes on from an optics point of view and you will never stop the media being fascinated by the clothes.
I agree. While I absolutely criticise her wardrobe spendings and her engagement numbers/Early Years approach, I do think she and her family are the best thing that could have happened to Wiliam in terms of healing from his parents
crappy behaviour and the general clusterfuck of family dynamics he experienced. In the end, this and raising stable heir and spared is actually her job. The whole charity shebang is only because doing nothing while raking in all the privileges and money wouldn’t fly anymore today (and rightfully so). I don’t care if they do it to keep up appearances or if they have a deep commitment tied to their role and the goodness of their heart or being humble or whatever.
I have said it before. The ordinary UK citizen has a MUCH higher chance to meet someone from the RF and therefore get some official recognition for their work than I have in my country. And not just people doing charity but they do visit schools, factories, hospitals, sport events and such. So the normal, unremarkable people get seen too. I think that’s fantastic and would be a loss if they decide to just have an elected HoS at one point.
Anyhow. It’s good to see Kate being back and apparently not just in a once in 3 months schedule.
