Kate Middleton at Royal Wedding

It's interesting that Beatrice and Edoardo are right across from her, but she has absolutely nothing to say to them.

Nor do they have anything to say to her.

William and Kate seem to be despised by everyone except Charles, Edward, and Sophie.

Beatrice turns her head away from Kate when she notices Kate looking for a friendly face in the crowd.

This video is so cringe. Kate seems to be forcing the shiek into conversation which he wants no part of..

Why is William's back turned away from Kate. And William is talking to noone.

Seriously?

lol.

If cherry-picking a moment like that is all 'ya got, that's a gigantic admission of game over.

Face it, one day, she's going to be Queen Kate.

On a different note, I'm surprised that image-recording devices weren't politely collected from everybody attending that event.

Whose wedding is this?

Perhaps this is some kind of protocol stance. They are like that, individual, ready to speak to anyone who wants to approach royalty for an audience of sorts.

Nobody is talking to her

[quote] she's going to be Queen Kate.

And everyone in the British Royal Family already hate her.

Now I'm starting to believe the stories that she's a major cunt behind the scenes.

Same goes for William.

Imagine how much woker the US is going to be forty years hence when Charles dies and William is crowned. I bet the then-American president issues a proclamation that the country will only recognise Meghan as the rightful queen of England.

I'm not on either side, really, I just enjoy the drama.

Judging from Beatrice ignoring Kate. I suspect Kate is not well liked in that family

R8 ever suspect it was the other way round and that Bea isn't trusted?

Oh, please. They're royals; they're not supposed to have any fun. They're constantly on duty. I'm sure that Harry and Meghan would have been holding hands throughout the ordeal, her large, loving cow eyes staring at him adoringly for the Twitterverse. Ridiculous as they are, I find this duo easier to stomach.

It's because WIlliam and Kate are trying to kick Andrew out of his own home so they can live there.

William and Kate have 2 homes. 1 is a 10 bedroom home in Norfolk and the other is a 25 room apartment at Kensington Palace. Each of these homes is practically next door to the home's of William's mistress. It's also why in the middle of the night, William and Kate moved their family into some tiny 4 bedroom home in Windsor.

The most important thing to Kate was to get as much space between william and his mistress as possible. She thought Charles would kick Andrew out of his home, but Andrew has a lease

Kate desperately wants that home. Andrew isn't going anywhere.

This is why Beatrice isn't talking to them.

This is why the British trash rags have to focus on Harry and Meghan.

Because without Harry and Meghan to demonize, the real demons are front and center.

The two adulterers at the top of the BRF, and the couple who can't stand each other in second place.

All the cracks in the BRF are right there for the world to see.

This bitch can’t catch a break, but she seems pretty lovely and a good Mom. Imagine every glance and photo outtake studied and mythologized. That seems hard and awful, even with crowns and castles.

Charles has to stop listening to William and Kate when it comes to decision making.

If he continues to listen to the Cambridges and their constant complaining, he's going to find himself in a shit storm of bickering and trouble.

Instead, Charles should follow the lead of his mother, and do whatever it takes to keep the peace and maintain stability.

William is a complainer and a bully and on top of all that, he's a spoilt fucker. Demanding and ill tempered. His wife is a total bitch because he takes it out on her, and on top of everything else, he cheats on her.

So he really needs to stop listening to them, and start doing what's best for the monarchy.

That means keeping the peace and bringing the family together.

William's bad attitude and constant grudge holding will tear the family apart.

This bitch can’t catch a break, but she seems pretty lovely and a good Mom. Imagine every glance and photo outtake studied and mythologized.

Oh, please.

Waity Katie doesn't get tortured half as much as Meghan does.

Meghan can never truly catch a break from anyone. But she keeps moving forward, despite the constant attacks from the British media and right-wingers.

Kate has it easy.

[quote]Oh, please. They're royals; they're not supposed to have any fun. They're constantly on duty.

And therefore constantly working the room, appearing chatty, but dignified - all that. Maybe Bea iced her out or maybe it's just a matter of constantly engaging guests/people they don't know versus getting chatty with their fellow royals.

Personally, I hate going to weddings & being expected to talk to the bride's bored cousins instead of just sitting in a corner and drinking the whole time.

They’re not there to chat with each other. They are there to mingle and chat and look good, all with other people they barely know on a personal level—protocol, etc.

I’d be looking around the room for something else, too. If I’d been invited.

[quote] Waity Katie doesn't get tortured half as much as Meghan does.

and right here is where Markle's Stan Grannies undermine their own position. Yeah, I know I'm feeding a troll by commenting, but still.

If you had even an iota of awareness (you know, of the kind Markle professes to have?) of sexist, mysogynistic, cruel monikers that the media places upon women, "Waity Katie" wouldn't ever be repeated by anybody who recognizes it's sexism.

But, even years after it had faded Markle repeated it, deliberately, during the Oprah interview. So much for "The Sisterhood".

I used to have some sympathy for Markle.

Her Stand Grannies will never admit, will always be in denial, however, that Markle herself created the grounds to question her authenticity.

And this latest clown car-car chase through Manhattan has made them laughing stocks.

None of that is the fault of William and Kate, and I write this as someone who is infinitely entertained by the actual, real life "reality show" that is the BRF and finds it inherently ridiculous.

She needs to wear her hair up. She’s not a teenager anymore.

If you've lost Bea and Eugenie, then you are truly lost.

Because those two pretty much like everyone.

Lost from what? That Kate’ position is solid and the first cousins are 2nd tier, if that?

Kate, for personal socializing, has her own family and personal friends that we don’t know about because if we did, they wouldn’t be her friends.

I happen to agree that having manage William is a job in and of itself, but this whole implied rivalry or discord between Kate and the Royal cousins and Markle is nonsense.

They are barking dogs and Kate is the Moon. As such she doesn’t have to deign to have to acknowledge them or bother with a reaction.

I do agree with r19.

William seems like a brat bully

I do wonder what she's really like.

So little of Kate's personality comes through. If anything, she just seems boring.

I do admire her for staying thin (discipline) and rarely seeming to have a hair out of place. Do I sound shallow, here? Yes, probably.

She chose this life and hopefully is content with it. I would go crazy.

R11 R13 what amazing insights you have! No one knows what's going on with Andrew and "his" mansion. Charles has been trying to relegate his brother for years as he's a liability and by all accounts a pig

Poor Kate Middlington. Or I should say, Kate Simpleton.

She waited and waited for William, earning her the name Waity Katie.

And now that she is next in line to be Queen, she's still fucking miserable.

Be careful what you wish for. You just might get it.

R26 who says she's miserable? She's not meant to be the life of the party, pulling attention. And who cares if she waited, it's not like she forsook some big career, she seems to have always aspired to be a wife and mother.

I don't think she was necessarily ambitious to be Queen, people forget how hot William was when she snared him.

R25, yes, he was trying to relegate him, but he the push to kick him out of his house was only after William and Kate's midnight move to Windsor. Kate had to either get William away from Rose or just get away from having to live so close (less than 3 miles) from Rose and her family.

Rose and her husband also have a flat very close to Kensington Palace. But William and Kate made the taxpayers pay over £10 million to renovate their two homes and now they don't want to live in either of them. And of course, they'll want the taxpayers to pay even more if they move into Andrew's place.

They are on opposite sides of an aisle and seated according to strict royal protocol at the marriage of the Crown Prince of Jordan - The Waleses with heirs to their respective thrones, Bea and Edo with personal friends of the family. Are you such rubes that you expect Kate to whistle to get Bea’s attention? Maybe you are.

And R2, what’s “cringe” is your use of that word as an adjective, which it’s not - it’s a verb. You Sussex Squaddies aren’t particularly bright, are you?

I was wondering when you’d all emerge from your embarrassment at the great Manhattan Clown Car Chase of 2023. This is the best that you can do? Back to LSA and Celebitchy for you.

R28 there has been no evidence whatsoever of an affair, you are a liar, a character assassin, detached from reality and a turd. Bugger off as is Brits say, you hate-filled titwank.

Yes, the Princess of Wales is so hated (and her position so insecure) that Jordanian Royal Family decided to honour her entire family with an invite to the Crown Prince’s wedding.

In those ten seconds of footage, Kate isn’t even looking at William, Bea and Edo. She speaks to the man on her left, then looks round past Bea and Edo towards the corner of the room. Given that at least 5 other members of her family were there, it’s entirely possible she was checking on them. Or maybe she was looking for someone more interesting to chat to at the event. Which of us has not done the same?

R28 please tell me more about the “midnight move to Windsor”. How exciting! Were you there? Or did Kate tell you all about it later as you helped her unpack the boxes?

Don’t make stuff up - you only look stupid. And you need no help in that department.

Back to LSA and Celebitchy for you.

[quote] Yes, the Princess of Wales is so hated (and her position so insecure) that Jordanian Royal Family decided to honour her entire family with an invite to the Crown Prince’s wedding.

Those grifting Middletons were probably there to load piles of Jordanian and Saudi cash into their suitcases, for the trip home.

[Quote] I was wondering when you’d all emerge from your embarrassment at the great Manhattan Clown Car Chase of 2023. This is the best that you can do?

R29, WWs to end all WWs, shall henceforth be known as the crowned prince of Datalounge.

Mingle, mingle, Kate!

I’d have popped outside for a cheeky fag.

Poor Waity Katie.

No one likes her.

She doesn’t seem like she’d be a great conversationalist. Empty vessel.

On the contrary, pathetic stans for the former royals, the Duke and Duchess of Loserville, everyone seems to like the Princess of Wales very much. The only people briefing against her are the Duke and Duchess of Loserville.

Isn't it about time for the next leg of your favorite loser's Worldwide Privacy Tour?

“Waity Katie”, R38? That’s the best that you can do? And what man are you waiting on? No prospects, I suspect.

Go pour yourself a Pepsi and wait for an original thought to pop into your head. It could be a while.

Your idols the Sussexes are done - how embarrassing for you Squaddies, still stanning such losers!

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

If I'd a chance with someone as gorgeous as William was in his youth I'd have fucking clung on for dear life too!

R38 no one likes her? Oh really?

It’s amazing what people can read into a 10-second clip taken from 30 feet away. If you look at the distance between Kate and Bea, they’re not even that close together, and whoever is in front of Kate that she’s talking to is cut off. But yes, ooooh, the daggers flying between them! 🙄

Sorry, there are so many BRF threads, I don't know which one posted the Graydon Carter interview, so I'll post this here.

I didn't need Graydon Carter (former editor of "Spy" and Vanity Fair") to tell me what I concluded many months back- that the Sussexes are done.

What's significant now, however, is, he isn't troubling with holding back. He's openly stating his observations of the Sussexes, which is, itself, telling of how far down they've fallen in their position. He's starting his own new digital current events site and if he thought he couldn't afford to offend them, he wouldn't negatively comment, but, he does.

His take is that the Sussexes have made every mistake they could have in managing (more like mis-managing) their image, positions and "stardom", such as it is. He ridicules the Manhattan clown-car chase.

I've never been a big Graydon Carter fan. There is something about him that I've always found to be slightly distasteful. Still, he's earned credibility with his takes on maintaining desirability and presence when it comes to celebrity-hood.

He's known, and/or met, every famous person over the past 40 years, ALL of them, from Obama, Trump to the Z List. He's seen, up-close and worked with, the best management teams that are employed by the "A List", because of his editorship of Vanity Fair Magazine.

Seriously, I wonder if the Sussexes management team, especially Markle's WME, is wondering if they can salvage them.

I

Thanks, r46. Can you please post the article? It's behind a paywall.

A few years ago, Graydon Carter admitted Markle's VF cover "didn't sell particularly well".

Carter is an old fart…irrelevant for many years. He’s stuck with a delusion that his writing matters… a more upscale Sessums.

Exactly, R49.

Just another useless mouthpiece for Buckingham Palace and the British Media Rags.

You can't believe a word they say or write.

[quote] Prince William Was "Overly Dominant" and Treated Princess Kate Like a "Naughty Child" in Jordan, Body Language Expert Claims

Prince William is usually very composed in public, but he let that composure seriously slip while attending the royal wedding in Jordan last week.

ICYMI, the Prince of Wales was filmed apparently saying "chop chop" to his wife Princess Kate as she chatted to the bride, Princess Rajwa, for just a few seconds. He also threw in a hand gesture which looked meant to hurry Kate along.

While it's totally possible we're missing some crucial context here (and I personally very much hope so), royal fans as well as body language expert Judi James didn't like what they saw one bit.

"This is not one of [William's] finest moments when it comes to either body language or words," James told Express, commenting on the moment when Kate is speaking to Rajwa, and William has finished speaking to her and her groom Prince Hussein.

"While he has clearly moved on from the meet and greet with the bride and groom, Kate stands talking to the bride in an animated and very friendly way," James continued.

"She is not causing a 'log jam' [by] holding up the queue and the next guests are still talking to the groom, so there appears to be no logical reason for William to hurry his wife along, especially as she only adds a few seconds to the conversation."

The expert added, "Whether he says ‘chop chop’ his hand gesture alone is bad enough, with a winding gesture that would normally imply that time is running out."

James congratulated the Princess of Wales for ignoring her husband in this instance, but added, "it has to be said that his behavior is overly dominant here, with his critical parent behavior putting her firmly in the implied role of naughty child."

For James, the prince was being "rude" here, and could have resorted to alternatives if he was truly in a rush (for some reason?).

"He could have walked back to stand beside his wife and used a subtle tie sign, like a small pat of the waist or back," the expert suggested.

"Most couples have subtle rituals that they use to communicate silently in public that don’t entail any obvious impatience and the Waleses are normally very adept at these techniques."

Better luck next time? One can only hope.

Just out of curiosity, how many body language experts are there in the UK?! Greater than the number of lip reading experts?

Marie Claire? The Express? “Princess Kate”?

Complete rubbish, then.

I love this thread!
