Kate worked for a little while here and there but I suspect Carole got in her ear and told her to drop it all in case William wanted her to go running - they played the long game for the prize and they got it. I agree that her marrying into did wonders for all of them - pippa got a billionaire husband her brother is marrying some French aristocrat. Carole really is no different to Kris Jennet when you think about itI don’t know much about the brother but it is odd considering how hard their parents worked how little Kate & Pippa (I think) worked. Who would put themselves out there to be called “Waitey Katie” could she not have worked in the family business. Perhaps it’s because they wanted to be more like their upper class friends who presumably don’t work.
