I doubt if his Doctor cares about the Oprah interview any more than I do. People even thought that he had died and it was being kept a secret way before that. Anxiously waiting for the breaking news as Prince Charles was cryingAh yes, the infamous prickly British humour when they cannot take a joke
He was discharged after the Oprah interview so as to milk maximum sympathy points.
You truly believe that they would keep a 99 year old man in hospital during a global pandemic for longer than necessary in order to get sympathy? I honestly doubt that.
My crystal ball says that he will definitely be dead in the next 5 years or so, so one day, someone will be rightI’ve lost count how many times I’ve heard “Prince Philip is dead but they’re delaying the announcement” rumours. It was literally going around two or three times a year at one point.
The last time, around this time last year IIRC, my brother and his girlfriend swore blind that their friend’s dad had Palace links and it was definitely true. They even said “why would our friend lie to us?” I said nah, it’s bollocks, this is such a regular urban myth that goes around.
I was so smug when I was proved right
Reading that just makes me feel sorry for kate - if even half of that is true William is a dick and her self-esteem but be nil to hang around for him for so long.
This all ties in with info given here in these threads. It makes interesting reading seeing it all laid out the way it is
It’s sad really if indeed it’s true, if any of the other girls he was actually interested in wanted to marry him it would be bye bye Kate!! It’s sad that she was second best in a way!! In the end though she got what she wanted that must count for something!!
Kate must think being a Duchess / Princess / future Queen is worth sacrificing your dignity over but other girls didn't.
I agree with you. All the aristocratic women know too much about the Royals to want to marry them. Why should they bother with all the ridiculous nonsense and press scrutiny when they can do what they like? They have family money and connections, can do a career that they like and marry a rich guy and live in private. I think it will be difficult for the Royals to find compliant wives now women can turn them down without being beheaded! I dont think Kate has much self confidence though, at least in her own abilities. Getting her man was her goal and she did that. As a result she doesnt have much personality or any interests outside being a Royal wife so is a perfect empty vessel for the Roysls Whether the worm will turn later, I dont know.Maybe she will just stick it out now whether or not she is happy.
Or so little confidence she’s willing to accept the weird half life she has?
Yes that's thats another side of the coin. My thinking was so she was gutsy enough to take on these other women who probably thought of her as vastly inferior as would the RF .
She takes photos of her kids and plays tennis. Many women would have an athletic body if all they had to do all day was go to the gym and play tennis! I would say many, many women could compete with her in terms of talent, intellect and accomplishments!
Please. Kate is pretty but hardly supermodel in her looks. She's healthy and athletic looking though - that I'll give her. But she studied Art History in College which is a joke of a major - basically for rich girls who don't need to work.
And she still manages to dress like a 60 year old!
If most of us had the free time Kate has we'd do a great job at all of the above and more. She was freaked when Megan hit her foot to the ground when she joined the royals - shows how lazy she is
Have a look at women elsewhere in a similar position. Queen Letizia of Spain was a television journalist and news anchor. Queen Máxima of the Netherlands has a degree in economics and worked in finance. Queen Mathilde of Belgium (a Belgian aristocrat) was a speech therapist with a masters degree in psychology. Crown Princess Mary of Denmark was an advertising account manager and sales consultant. Queen Rania of Jordan worked for Citibank and Apple after a degree in business. Queen Jetsun Pema of Bhutan has a degree in international relations and, at 30, takes an active role in national projects as well as having two preschool sons. Empress Masako of Japan has an economics degree from Harvard and started a masters degree in international relations at Oxford before marrying; she worked in the diplomatic service. Crown Princess Kiko of Japan has a bachelors degree in psychology, a humanities masters degree in social psychology, and a PhD in humanities.
