Is that you Pippa?So many break ups .... there were two. One rumored one in 2004. And one in 2007 which lasted for about 7 weeks. She also didn't hang on. She was just in a relationship with her boyfriend who she started dating when they were both very young.![]()
Her family facilitating snagging William...... Yup William didn't have a choice. He did what he was told. They made him fall in love with her. They made him start a relationship with her. They made him propose to her. They made him marry her. They made him have children with her. They made him have a relationship with her for the last 21 years.
How do you know what her interests are except for pleasing William, her kids, being thin and her hair. Did she tell you that? You have no idea what her interests are because she keeps her private life just that private.
She has much interesting and intelligent things to say and has done so for the last 13 years. Her speeches are on the internet.
And for William he does work. He has his royal foundation. Duchy of Cornwall a billion pound business. Earth shot Foundation and others. And he does standard royal work.
You seem to be hugely upset at anyone finding Kate to be dull or boring.
The late Queen didn't give opinions in public and that was her choice. She could show opinion with a glance or with her outfit choice and as she got older she showed more and more of her feelings.
In a modern royal family, I want to see a future Queen who will speak out when something needs saying. If she doesn't want to do that then the least she could do is be out helping young parents who are struggling with their lives and children. Start an initiative for free books or bring together people who can make changes so that parents can start to overcome challenges that daily life brings.
She doesn't have to be just a clothes horse and mother to a future king. She can use her position and voice like other European royals can and do. Queen Maxima being an example. Queen Rania another.
If she doesn't want to use her voice then she could roll her sleeves up and get stuck into something substantial. That's surely the point of being influential and having a platform in these modern times?
The late Queen was a figurehead in very different times. The royals need to move forward now.
Camilla is great, Sophie is great. Both are championing things close to their hearts and aren't afraid to use the words domestic violence, sexual violence etc. Things that our late Queen would never have dreamt of discussing or championing. That's ok, Queen Elizabeth was of a different era and her life and times were very different to these days. They need to move with the times if they want to stay as a monarchy.
If I was polled, I'd choose camilla Sophie and Anne as the top royals.
As for workshy Willie, the duchy of Cornwall is well established and there are plenty of managers in place, he isn't in there 9-5 knee deep in HR and securing orders. His father was deeply involved and knew every tenant farmer etc, I doubt William will put half as much into it as Charles did.
I don't really know what he does for earthshot but again there will be many people running it all, it's not him working 18 hours a day to get it off the ground.
