It seems like all of the Cambridge children enjoy the dance! Princess Diana would be proud – Diana loved to dance, any kind of dancing. She loved ballet, she loved ballroom dancing, she loved modern dance. Prince George reportedly loves his ballet classes at school, and Charlotte also takes ballet classes outside of school. And now Prince Louis is getting some dancing in… sort of. It’s more of a music class for toddlers, but dancing is involved:
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s son Archie isn’t the only royal baby loving his playgroup! Kate Middleton has been bringing her son Prince Louis to a musical toddler playgroup — and the duo loves to sing and dance alongside the other families. The royal mom of three and her youngest son attend a children and parents music group that features a cheeky monkey puppet. “Kate attends the weekly $15 Monkey Music sessions with 1-year-old Prince Louis,” reports the Mail on Sunday, adding that Kate “gets stuck in” during the toddler class.
Monkey Music has been hosting classes across the U.K. for 23 years and offers educational music classes to children from the ages of 3 months to 4 years. Focusing on live singing and playing percussion instruments, parents are encouraged to sing and dance with their child in a group circle. The instructor will often call on the monkey puppet to take part in the various activities, which change theme on a weekly basis.
Kate and Louis likely take the Heigh-Ho class, which is recommended for babies 12 months and older. “Colorful props aid visual memory while repeated actions reinforce a feel for the ‘steady beat,’ ” according to the official website. “Moving and dancing freely around the room with Monkey encourages your child to express the music that they hear with their whole bodies.”
It sounds like a nice little playgroup/toddler class. It sounds like Kate actually cares a lot about early childhood development and maybe (??) the Early Years initiative she’s been working on is just about Kate applying that knowledge to raising her kids??? No, I jest. I’m sure that we haven’t been keen-baited for more than a year about something like that! In truth, I hope every parent exposes their kids to music and dance and the arts. It helps kids later in life.
Also: it has to be said, but Kate’s “just like us/middle class” branding continues to pay off. It not only pays off “in comparison” to the Sussexes, but it pays off in general when the other members of the royal family look rotten to the core, and here’s “the future queen” just doing normal mum things with her kids.

She’s grown on me a lot. She has class and she carries herself in a matter becoming of who she is in the public eye. I feel like this blog bullies her a lot for absolutely no reason
I couldn’t agree more!
Good. I still think she’s lazy and we’re being treated to a BRF propaganda offensive to talk about anything but…..
shhhhh…
Randy Andy (as was his nickname, when I was young)
If showing up for the bare minimum, regularly making asinine comments, canceling appearances at multiple events last minute and telling people not to expect you there every year, and flashing numerous times each year equate to “class”, then the definition of that word must’ve really changed 😂
@spookie I never see you on this site unless it’s a story about Kate…
@Beach Dreams: It’s code for WHITE.
@Kerwood – SHHHHHHHH. We’re not supposed to say that apparently LOL.
@Beach Dreams I completely agree, I think this is exactly why Catherine Quinn abandoned her. I think Kate ate up Quinns advice on behaviour and clothes but anything regarding (actual work) charity organizations substanial to making a difference in OTHER people’s lives, she tuned out and couldn’t care less. This woman has ALWAYS rubbed me the wrong way.
Kate is one of the laziest, most unprofessional married-ins in memory. She had a decade during which she clung to William but failed to work, exert herself, or prepare. Now almost nine years in, she’s just as lazy as ever.
Look more brand new names on here claiming Kate is amazing. LOL
Still not her biggest fan (I find ALL the royals useless and something that should have been done away with years ago) BUT agreed this site and many of the commentators love putting her down to prop other members of the royal family up
@ Beach Dreams, has she flashed of late and how many events has she cancelled at the last minute. And please don’t count the ones when she had HG
Just two days ago she cancelled and claimed she couldn’t get babysitting help but ok.
@spookie: she had some dangerously close calls at Eugenie’s wedding last October and earlier this year in that dreadful blue polka dot dress. Upper-thigh level dangerous and yet certain commenters excused it and claimed people were being prudes for calling it out.
And don’t act like she only skips events when she’s pregnant because that’s hardly the case. She’s skipped events held right in KP with flimsy excuses ( I think once her team even blamed event organizers for ‘falsely’ advertising she would be there). Who could forget her excuse for skipping St. Patrick’s Day? “She doesn’t want people to expect her there every year”.
So yeah, I stand by what I said.
She didn’t just skip St. Patrick’s Day, Beach. For 115 years senior Royal women have been showing up to honour the men of the Royal Irish Regiment on St Pat’s day. Kate decided one year not to show because the FFQC didn’t want her people to become accustomed to her being there every year. She destroyed a tradition 115 years in the making for no other reason than she was/is arrogant. Think Kate is ever going to create a legacy that will last for generations? Ha. Instead she destroys one over a century old. There is no repairing or fixing or going back for a do over. A tradition destroyed because it had the misfortune to draw Kate’s gaze.
“Destroyed”, eh? That’s pretty powerful for the wife of the successor-once-removed to the throne to manage. One no-show by a then 3-year royal and traditions destroyed! She’s pretty mighty stuff to have swung that.
But fear not. Our systems are pretty robust. The monarch may make or break traditions (and even then, i think we would still get by) but what others waiting in the wings do or don’t do, don’t destroy our society.
It must be said, it looks like some of the royal get-uptoisms seem to make bigger ripples across the pond than they do in the UK. Few at home even recall Kate skipping some parade 5 years ago let alone last week the way it seems to cause hurt in the States. (Caveat Airmiles-Andy and *his* car-crash interview, never mind his antics).
Read back through the years. This site has always been justifiable critical of Kate, for her laziness, her press games, her unprofessionalism. Nothing about her has changed, merely that she isn’t guilty of Duchessing while Black.
Nah. She hasn’t exactly lifted a finger — nor her voice — to support her sister- and brother-in-law, who deserve family support right now. Personally, I can’t champion people who throw folks under the bus for their own PR gain — and that’s what Kate and her husband have clearly been doing.
And what’s there to admire!? She’s a status quo warrior, 1950s model (White is Right! Long live the Patriarchy!)! No thanks.
I don’t know what exactly she would be able to do. Issue a public statement about every article?
Harry and Meghan chose to leave Kensington to live away from everyone. Maybe they all would have become closer friends.
They’ve made sure to get their PR angles into the press, they could just have easily injected messages of support.
Who said anything about “every article”? One strong message of supoprt would have done it.
And its the 21st century — people don’t need to live in the same exact neighborhood to building working relationships.
ETA: I’m sorry, I had to come back to this…because I just can’t believe someone is arguing “what could they do!?” Really!? These people have entire press and PR teams that work for them! If ANYONE could do anything, it’s them.
@Bookworm, I mean, there’s any number of things Kate could do. She could reach out in a visible manner to the Sussexes to show that she supports them. She could issue an article where her friends state unequivocally that she’s horrified by the abuse they’re facing and is wishing them the best. She could ring them up every once in a while and ask how they’re doing. No one requires that Kate and Meghan be the best of friends, but reaching out when someone is going through a difficult time isn’t something you need to do only for your closest friends.
And before anyone says, “Well how do we know they HAVEN’T done that??” I want to stress that the point here is that the Sussexes need support from their family in visible, tangible ways. Reaching out behind the scenes and keeping everything quiet is not helpful to people who need to see a public, demonstrable show of solidarity from those who have the means and the clout to change the press narrative.
Also, remember how quickly William got all the stories about Rose Hanbury shut down? Remember how all he had to do was call up his lawyers and just THREATEN to sue the pants off anyone who tried to write about the story? Have we ever seen any mention of Rose Hanbury in connection to William since then? Will and Kate are perfectly capable of combating the tabloid press and shutting them up for their own needs. But when his own brother and sister-in-law are being thoroughly shredded, they’re being left hung out to dry. Why can’t he do the same for Meghan and Harry, especially Harry, who has gone out of his way to defend his brother and sister-in-law from press intrusion multiple times in the past?
Kate lift a finger to impact someone else’s PR? She has KP issue denials about botox and wiglets, but stands idly by while the KP social media is full of Meghan-attacking trolls. That has always been W&K’s game. They’ve always gone after sites that are negative towards them, but ignore all bullying behavior by stans that benefits their PR.
Agreed! None of us really know any of them but she seems relatively lovely. I can’t imagine the pressure all of them must feel being on the world stage and having to deal with unrelenting critics.
Telling a child in India, ‘That’s interesting’ when they tell her how they were deliberately maimed to earn more as a beggar is ‘relatively lovely’?
That thumbs up sign after leaving the hospice where kids are dying was super classy.
And the hyena mouth. What is so funny about hospice?
Her manic expressions around that whole visit were disturbing.
If she’s so regal and classy why did she participate in that plane stunt just to belittle her brother and sister in law? Why did she do almost no work for the first 10 years of her title?
I don’t think she’s a terrible person or anything, but she has also done almost nothing to deserve any praise whatsoever.
I think the people who really like her are judging her as a wealthy, stay at home mom/old school princess. Whereas most of us who find her lacking, are judging her as a 21st century working Duchess. Like sure, she seems “fine” if you’re comparing her to other wealthy, suburbanite, housewives who occasionally dress up to go to their husband’s work Christmas parties.
“judging her as a 21st century working Duchess”
Which is exactly how I judge the Duchess of Cornwall (age 73 and in questionable health) and the future Duchess of Edinburgh who in my eyes have redeemed themselves for past mistakes and gained much public respect by doing quite a bit Royal work.
@AmyToo – that’s a great way to put it. I’m sure Kate is nice enough in person and I’m sure she’s a good mother. But, she married the future future King of England so she is going to be judged for more than just that, and that’s where she falls way short.
“Plane stunt” = taking a commercial flight?! That a stunt, then? Okay. Good to know.
@Amy too, EXACTLY! You nailed it
This blog does not bully her for no reason because Cathy in NOT bullied. Her work performance is discussed but she as an individual is not really discussed because really there is not much to discuss. The two are not the same thing.
Cathy is a future Princess of Wales that really does not want to be a working royal, does not really like Royal work and tires very easily. Cathy wants to be the wife of a very rich landed gentry man or a very rich non-royal titled aristocrat man with no public responsibilities.
Cathy married into Royalty with all the Royal perks & Royal privileges so she needs to do the Royal work. The purpose of one nanny per child and a complete domestic staff is so she can get out in public and do ROYAL work like Sophie Diana and The Princess Royal.
I believe Kate is an excellent mother which is not always easy to do when you are married to a wandering scepter that enjoys cultivating Rose bushes but she married a job that she is not doing. Using her children as an excuse will not cut it with the public forever and eventually her poor work performance will come back to haunt her. The Daily Fail has in the past and will eventually again throw her under the bus.
Very few people on this blog dislike Cathy as an individual and many, such as mysel, actually feel sorry for her.
Well said. If people hunt through old posts from years ago that’s the pattern they will mostly find.
Co-sign every word of BayTampaBay’s comment!
Rose who?
Sorry, had to…:-D
Agreed @Bay. This site does not “bully” Kate. Kate doesn’t get over the top praise for wearing clothes and showing up to relatively few events a year, but that’s not the same as bullying.
What we DO mock are these exact types of comments – that Kate is super classy and the perfect mother and just so amazing…..because she took her kid to a music class. Most royal followers who may be more pro Meghan don’t actively dislike Kate. we just roll our eyes a lot bc Kate can literally show up to an event in trousers and the praise lasts for days.
ITA but I would add that she WANTS the royal life of perks, status and money but she does NOT want to do the work. She fancies herself a Queen Consort of centuries gone by who only had to look pretty and have heirs.
Also lets not forget how she was praised to the heaven’s for that garden and ‘inventing’ a log to sit on while star gazing.
@BayTampaBay, Very well said. It sounds like she’s being nominated for the DSO because she’s a GOOD MOTHER. She fucking well SHOULD be a good mother, she doesn’t do anything else.
Kate is not necessarily a future Princess of Wales. This is not an automatic title. Kate would only become Princess of Wales if Charles made William Prince of Wales and Kate was still married to William at that time.
You gave yourself away with the remark that “she has class.” You meant, she’s white.
How do you figure? Kate does carry herself with class, that has nothing to do with her race. I consider Michelle Obama the classiest First Lady of my life time, and she isn’t white. I think Meghan carries herself with class. While I think the york Family is pure trash.
Being classy has nothing to do with race. It’s behavior.
Because 9 times out of 10, when someone on here says that Kate “has class,” that’s what they mean.
Why do you assume that’s what she meant? She made a simple comment about someone but you have made that comment about race? I dont think that’s fair. If she had said “Kate has class but Meg doesnt” i could see why you jumped to that conclusion but that is 100% not what she said. Totally unfair comment.
Or they think she has class. And she is bullied (well bully isn’t the right word since she doesn’t read it) but people are nasty here and make truly horrible comments (often sexist) about her. I mean her weight is mocked, her smile is mocked, she’s called a step ford wife. It gets called out a lot and anyone who does gets ripped apart.
I personally don’t get it, I find both Dutchesses lovely. They both seem to love their families, and want to do good things. They have different strengths and to me that is ok.
What about Kate is ‘classy’? I’m really curious because I don’t see it. I think she and her family are incredibly vulgar. What has she done other than show up and keep her mouth shut? Is that what passes for class these days? Have people like Trump and Kardashians lowered the bar THAT far?
Becklu, what good things does Kate want to do, though? I can’t think of a project, besides the garden, that she’s really done on her own (and by that I just mean she was the only royal working on it, it wasn’t a joint project with her husband or Harry or anyone else), that she’s seen through to completion. She has a few that she’s supposedly been working on, but no one really knows what they’re about so she’s not been very good at articulating what “good work” she’s trying to get done. And they keep getting pushed back. That just doesn’t seem like someone who is committed to doing good work. Her track record of doing good work isn’t great, so we can’t extrapolate what values she has and wants to work towards based on past work. She seems very flighty and all over the place whenever she does mention her current work in progress, and nothing is being completed.
@Becklu, Is Cathy handing out awards and hosting a banquet for UK Olympians heading out for Tokyo in 2020 as The Princess Royal did last night? What are Cathy Cambridge’s personal interest and pet projects?
If Cathy Cambridge is interested in Early Childhood Development could she not do a book project modeled on the one Dolly Parton did in the USA ?
Publishers in the UK would give the Duchess of Cambridge all the books she wanted for FREE!
ETA: Brcklu, I agree with you as I find Cathy a beautiful woman too who knows how to take the best she has and make it look extraordinaire.
You don’t think she’s a bit of a Stepford wife? Lol okay then.
People don’t mock her weight. When people comment on it, its usually to say they’re concerned. which, I know people say is “concern trolling” but its clear she has lost a lot of weight post-Louis and no, its not her natural figure.
And if Kate wants to do good things, she has the perfect platform to do so. She’s not.
@becks, yes! Yes! 🙌🙌🙌🙌 I’m white, I agree. I’ve been told I have a fine American last name, aka “we know you’re pure blood” code. That last name is courtesy of my African American husband. Lol. I’m white as white can be and I’m in an area now where people covertly tell me how much they appreciate my whiteness. I work in a bank and old racist white people love the shit out of me. They think I’m “one of them.” Some of the shit they say, they’re lucky I can’t say how I really feel. I had some white couple from Georgia come in to order the woman a new debit card and to dispute a charge. They were whining about how people say these workers (minorities of course) must have taken her card and used it to purchase stuff to send stuff back to their country! So anyway, she only left her card in her cell phone case out in her golf cart for just a minute! Going on and on about how awful it was. It was ridiculous. And you could tell they were surrounded by people who agreed w them and thought the same way. I’m thinking ok, I know who they voted for! Smh
That Scottish plane stunt certainly wasn’t about having class. Kate and William are petty and sneaky *and* they love their kids.
Kate’s Mommy and Me music classes do not take away from her drama filled antics.
As a British taxpayer I criticise her for doing less (MUCH less) than any other full time royal. Taking her son to dance class is not what we are paying for, cute though it is.
ETA I am not criticising her for taking Louis to these classes but nor am I about to praise her too much either. I’m sure there are many mothers on here who have done the same with their little ones.
Exactly–and in addition to doing my full time job as a lawyer. I have kids the ages of her kids and I manage to have a career that is much more involved than hers, spend time with my kids and do community works. How does she get praised for basically doing ONE of these things??
And before anyone else thinks otherwise, I would never feel the same about a regular stay at home mom. That is a harder job than I could do. But if you have as much money and help as Cathy does that you do not need to cook, do laundry or actually watch the children, that is not the same at all.
Yes, another good point @Moneypenny. No-one is saying she is a bad mother but even as a mother she has a hell of a lot more help, support, money and staff than 99.99% who still manage to mother just as well if not better AND whilst also holding down a proper, full time job.
I still want her to do more work because she is still doing the bare minimum and I keep hoping that she will step up for her Sister-in-Law & behind the scenes tell her husband to STFU but I will agree that there is a difference between teasing (which I find the written piece) and the out right a$$hole comments from some users. But then again it’s a gossip site so …
Other than her physical appearance, what is there to praise her for? She doesn’t like to do any work, and it shows. She isn’t very bright, and it shows. She doesn’t seem to have any ideas of her own. She’s William’s doormat. She’s not good at making speeches. Her hair and skirts continue to fly everywhere. WHAT has she done to deserve praise?
But she gets compliments whenever she’s photographed with a young child. I think she knows that too, which is why after 10 years she’s settled on “early childhood” as her pet cause (because, “Photos of Kate + Child = Praise”). But again, substantively, what has she ever done to earn any praise? Nothing. Nothing but starve herself thin and look like a Barbie doll — but in this day and age, the notion that a woman is “accomplished” simply because she is decorative, is insulting to women.
Totally.
She deserves no praise what-so-ever. It baffles me that she has a fan girl club, even here on Celebitchy. But then Trump has his blind followers too, so there we are.
The photo above with her mouth wide open, amazes me. The only time my mouth is THAT wide open is when I’m at the dentist, and even then I don’t think I can get it that wide. Kate, we know you have teeth, we just don’t need to see each and every one of them.
Meh. Kate’s just guilty as William when it comes to backstabbing and shadiness. Shes says nothing, does the bare minimum, and pretty much is the perfect stepford wife.
@vegan – u must be new to celebitchy. The site writers have been quite fair to Kate & have given her the benefit of the doubt on countless occasions. Commenters generally call a spade a spade and when it comes to work ethic & a meaningful track record Kate truly falls short & is worthy of her unofficial “duchess Doolittle” title.
Well said! She might not always be the best dressed but she’s classy.
I’m curious. I see lazy, unprofessional, bullying, grasping, and tacky. What exactly is it about Kate that you think is classy?
Agree.
Plus I like to dress conservatively and Kate has succeeded in popularizing that style to some degree. I feel like there are more choices for me in the stores now.
I think she seems like a great Mum! Maybe it’s not always about branding for the people and she just likes hanging out with her kids…?
Maybe… I took my kids to Kindermusic classes, and it was a joyful time!
I have lots of sweet memories of taking my kids to those kinds of classes.
I think she truly loves being a mum, and loves her kids dearly. And I do believe she loves doing things with/for them.
Her taking her kids to Mummy and Me classes is only being touted out as we’ve recently had pics and stories about Harry going to the toddler class that Meg takes Archie to (the one where Harry said, in response to Archie seeming to gravitate to the red-headed toddlers, that “Gingers need to stick together”.
Of course @The OG, “anything you can do, I can do better”. Not saying that is the only reason why she is taking Louis to the music class, but I bet it is a reason why we know about it in the press. Look for William to show up and crash a class any day now….
@ MsIam, you are so correct….”but I bet it is a reason why we know about it in the press” hits the nail directly on the head!
This is something I never understood — how can we say someone we don’t know is a great (or bad) parent, based on pictures? Do we know if she is raising her kids to be racist? Do we know if she drops everything when her child is sick, or palms them off on a nanny? Do we know if she ignores her kids when they’re not in public, or spends many hours reading to them? Is she raising her daughter to have self-respect, or to be a doormat to her future husband? We don’t know either way. Yet people think they can “tell” Kate is a “great mom” from pictures? Who else can we tell is a “great” mom from pictures? Who is a “bad” mom based on pictures? I’m very curious how we can come to those conclusions.
Exactly!!!! We only see what she wants us to see.
Exactly. Just look at Joan Crawford. She tried to present the ‘mother of the year’ imagine and see how that turned out.
Nobody knows what sort of mother Kate is except her children and inner circle.
This seems like an advertisement for those monkey music classes lol. Wasn’t there another similar story recently – I don’t know if it was Kate or another royal – about “something” and it basically just seemed like one big ad?
Music and dancing is fun with little kids and I can just picture Louis bouncing around a class like that lol.
It was Beatrice’s fiancé’s kid taking his mother’s best friend’s etiquette classes.
Yes! that was it. This has the same feel to me.
@Becks it reminds me of the story about Kate and how she took her kids to the indoor pool over break at that hotel — and was always wearing makeup + pearls (or something like that). It seemed like a stealth ad for the hotel.
(Clutches pearls and takes another sip of tea)
“Would this be “merching”? LOL!
Kate gets dragged for a lot (some justified and some not), but it’s always been clear that she’s a loving, involved parent.
Maybe after her kids are all grown up, happy, healthy, & contributors to society she’ll write a book about her application of the Early Years/Broken Britain Initiative.
It reminds me of when my son was in preschool, and they would play “Who let the dogs out,” (which wasn’t a new song 16 years ago), and those kids would just go nuts. They would bounce around just bursting with joy, singing along.
One of the best parts of your child’s life-their uninhibited selves and their endless capacity for joy.
OMG I remember taking my nephews to those classes when they were 3-4 yrs. old, and they LOVED when the teacher put that song on!!! The kids would go APESH!T over it, and ran around yelling, “WHO? WHO? WHO?” and barking, falling over themselves laughing lol… sigh… I miss those days (they’re 19 and 21 now!)
So glad I’m not the only one to have experienced it! I remember just looking at the kids, astonished-and then bursting into laughter. My son is an only child, and is/was somewhat shy, so to see him “barking” with the song alongside the other kids, and shaking his little groove thing-I loved it!
I think it’s really sweet. For all of Kate’s faults, being a mother certainly isn’t one of them
If she just wants to be a mother then I’m fine with that but get a husband who isn’t funded by me the taxpayer to pay for you to live like that.
This is an incredibly bizarre take.
why? People say that about Meghan all the time. “If she doesn’t want to do X, she shouldn’t have married Harry.” Sarah just meant that if ALL Kate wants to be is a mother (which is what it seems like), then she shouldn’t have married William.
Why is it bizarre? Sarah is exactly right.
@Gingerbread, Take a hard look at the Queen Letizia, Crown Princess Mary, Queen Maxima, Prince Daniel, Duke of Västergötland, Mette-Marit, Crown Princess, Queen Mum, Diana and the Duchess of Cornwall and you should be able to understand the point Sarah is making.
Because it’s just a story about Kate doing something with her kid! Just like I’m sure we’ll get the same with Meghan when Archie gets older. We already get the little press stories about The Sussex family, which is meant to be, (and is!) cute and fluffy, just like this.
I’m also sick of hearing when people rip apart Kate, “well if this was Meghan…”. I 100% agree that Meghan has been bullied by disgusting racists. We should be addressing that. What we shouldn’t do is be ripping Kate because of it. How is that helping? I honestly do not believe Kate and Meghan have any issues with each other, which I know is not the same narrative some of the commenters here have.
And let’s be real- Kate is still pretty popular in the U.K.
@gingerbread – I thought her comment was more in response to some of the earlier comments, about how being a mother is Kates most important role and she doesn’t have to work more etc because she is a MOTHER. I don’t think it was in direct response to the actual story of music class.
@Gingerbread, I agree with you 100% and also believe that Meghan & Cathy have no issues. I also agree with you that “Kate is still pretty popular in the U.K.” I have friends in the UK who very much like Cathy as an individual person.
With regards to sticking up publicly for Meghan, I feel Cathy’s hands are tied no matter what she personally may want to do. The real visible public support must be initiated and come from Normal Bill Cambridge.
Exactly, Sarah. This is what the main criticism of her has been for years, with the strange, ‘But she’s a stay at home mum’ set of stans chiming in to try to defend the indefensible behavior.
She didn’t marry Billy the Plumber. All royal spouses work, even when they have young children. Kate and her laziness are the exception, not the rule. If she wanted to be a full-time SAHM, she should have married an independently wealthy man not supported by taxpayers. Instead, she chased, clung to, and put up with William’s dumping-and-cheating for a decade in order to marry him. That marriage comes with a job as a requirement, a job she’s barely done for almost nine years.
Honestly? I do think Kate and Meghan probably have a lot in common at least in terms of their parenting. I think both of them fall into that “yummy mummy” (I know, I KNOW) category, and I don’t mean this as a knock against either of them. But I think for sure they’re both into the same type of philosophy as parents and I think that’s one thing they share and it’s a good thing.
Inb4 I get accused of bringing up Meghan in an article abt Kate & all, BUT, imagine if the two of them actually went in on some type of initiative together? Especially an early years initiative. I think Kate is committed to that idea, but is having trouble following through, and I think she could use some help. Sincerely.
Also, whoever is in charge of Kate’s PR is killing it right now. Aside from the Tusk Trust cancellation, she’s been showing up and doing the work. Yes, it’s the bare minimum, but in an age when the “””seniormost””” “””born-in royals””” cant be trusted to do simple things like not have sex with underage sex trafficking victims and then lie about it publicly and expect to get away with it, she does have that point in favour going for her.
This is pure fanfiction just like the story of her drinking with other mums or the Will exercising with mothers from George’s school!! The tabs are DESPERATE to shift the focus back to the younger royals+to resume their KP PR campaign.
I agree with others that Kate LOVES being a mother and I think this is a first as I never heard her taking George or Charlotte to toddler classes before.
When George and Charlotte were little they lived primarily in Norfolk, and I know nothing about the area so I’m not sure how many of these types of classes would have been available. I imagine in London there are tons, so its easier for her to do it.
I think if Cathy Cambridge had a choice she would still be living in Norfolk.
Ben Affleck mentioned on Graham Norton that his children had been in a children’s activity class with George and Charlotte.
The Cambridges are now using their kids for good press so we’re hearing about it with Louis.
Considering his kids are all older than George and Charlotte, I can’t imagine how they would be in the same activity.
The youngest is only a year older than George.
I think he mentioned being at a one-time drop-in gym for kids, a flood of RPOs, and the arrival of George. From whom his son caught a cold. It wasn’t a regular weekly type class.
Notice that the first sentence in a story supposedly about Keen Katie references the Duchess of Sussex.
Prince Harry marrying a Black woman was the best gift Katie ever received. She got instant credibility without having to work for it, which is just the way she likes it.
These little Kate articles are cute in and of itself, especially since one tends to forget about the 3rd child. However, every article about her always mentions Meghan and what she does, is a little dig at Sussexes or reminds everyone she’ll be queen. A lot of these recent People fluff articles are reprinted in the Fail, then it gets used to generate a million nasty comments about the Sussexes. I just don’t get this sudden surge of pushing this woman on the American press and public. We had 1776 for a really good reason.
My mother always found the American fascination with the royal family amusing. She used to say ‘then what was the point of the American Revolution?’
So People Magazine could cover the British Family and CB could found Celebitchy to keep on dishing and serving great tea! LOL! LOL!
I think Americans have the best deal out of everyone when it comes to the BRF. All of the drama, none of the requisite baggage either monetarily or historically speaking.
@A, Another excellent reason for the American Revolution! First class entertainment at the minimal cost of an internet connection.
I do not even have to buy People Magazine anymore thanks to Celebitchy.
New theory: Kate had to miss that event over the weekend because Louis had baby Monkey music class graduation ceremony. “It has to do with the kids,” but it’s not an illness…… See? See?
Again, this is nice and all, but I’m not giving her a round of applause for doing the same things most mothers do.
She loves her babies and loves spending time with them.
Okay
Mothers who work full-time, support their families, do all their own housework, pay their mortgages, have no nannies, and do these types of activities with their kids.
Reading some of the praises Kate gets for being with her kids gives me such 50’s vibes, where a womans “natural ” and” happiest ” place was in her home with her children.
Too bad she isn’t more of a modern roll model. What a waste of a platform.
@MY3CENTS you’re not alone in thinking that! The earlier years covered up her laziness due to the kids being younger but my even before Meghan I was so uncomfortable seeing the praise she got mainly for superficial things like her hair or weight!! Seeing Meghan’s accomplishments from the cookbook to her work during maternity leave; vogue and smartworks just further highlighted her either inability or unwillingness to DO SOMETHING with her platform!! Why not just say she’s a modern housewife and occasionally show up for galas in her husband’s honor?!! Its very strange that she’s “working” royal who doesn’t do anything
Anyone else see that she was doing “work experience” in the maternity unit of a hospital for 2 days?
