I wondered how long it would be before we had some kind of reference to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in the coverage and commentary around Prince William and Kate’s Pandemic Tour. I mean, from where I sit, the Keens’ tour was horrible and full of the kind of maskless images which underlined the point that William and Kate are desperately out-of-touch and even dangerous to public health. But all of the keen PR minions are out in force, as I knew they would be. Royal commentator Angela Levin had some thoughts, and wouldn’t you know, Levin just had to reference Meghan and Harry.
Prince William and Kate Middleton ‘have changed’ since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped back as senior royals in March, a royal biographer has claimed. Speaking to talkRADIO, Angela Levin, went on to say how the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, both 38, who have recently embarked on a whistle-stop tour of the UK ahead of the Christmas holidays, seem to be more ‘relaxed’ in recent months.
Speaking of Kate and William,, who shared a tender moment as they attended a ‘Toast Your Own Marshmallow’ stall during a visit to Cardiff Castle on Tuesday, Angela claimed: ‘When you see that with Kate and William…when we saw them this morning, they were laughing. Kate was moving to the music and they’re very, very easy with each other. I think there’s been a big change since Harry and Meghan have gone that they feel more relaxed. Maybe not under attack and they feel very much like a team, you can feel that.’
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge set off on their tour to pay tribute to the incredible work of individuals and organisations that have gone above and beyond in response to the coronavirus pandemic. And Angela Levin praised the couple’s decision, adding: ‘I don’t really like that expression but you can see that they’re natural together and they both are hoping to do the right thing at the right time. And the way they talk and interchange, sometimes he does and sometimes she does.’
First off, we’ve truly gotten to the point where the royal commentary is “they spoke, and sometimes Kate says something and sometimes William says something, therefore they FUTURE KING AND FUTURE QUEEN!” That’s how low the bar is – they were speaking to the peasants. That’s it.
As for the Sussex reference, I don’t even understand? “I think there’s been a big change since Harry and Meghan have gone that they feel more relaxed. Maybe not under attack and they feel very much like a team.” Will and Kate were never “under attack” from Meghan and Harry. I will allow that Will and Kate FELT attacked by Harry and Meghan’s mere existence, their mere ability to outshine the lazy, dull Cambridges constantly. But it really is a situation where a Black woman was just existing and thriving and the white women felt ATTACKED by it. As for Levin’s point about how Will and Kate have relaxed more since the Sussexes left – yeah. Of course Will and Kate relaxed. Their hate campaign worked. They wanted all the attention. So they got it.

Of course they don’t feel attacked anymore by people expecting them to work and contribute substantially to causes they actually care about, like the spare and that actress did.
Exactly, the standard and expectations of a working royal has been lowered again to a level they can manage. None of that working regularly and producing tangible results for them!
Despite the lowered work standards being practically sub basement, they still muck it up. She can’t even copy from a piece of paper and spell correctly. Harry and Meghan were never the problem. Their laziness, navel gazing and inability to connect with the people they serve will forever be the problem.
I mean, according to this article, the bar is “Kate moved to the music and they laughed and they talked” and that’s how we know the tour was a big success. the embiggening will never end and if I were them I’d be so embarrassed.
They always describe Kate as if she is a child with learning issues. It is quite bizarre to describe an adult woman who is almost 40 and a university graduate in this way.
Becks1-
Sounds like my toddler niece, she also gets claps and adoration for it.
Yep. That IS a great achievement….
When you’re like 2 years old. Nice work, Kate. I’m proud of you.
Stupid Royals Tricks. They’re not embarrassed. They’re completely unaware of what they look like and they have a phalanx of yes people around to ensure they never will be.
Sure, Jan.
I see the family continues to live in an alternate reality with their sycophants constantly blowing smoke up their asses. If you have to constantly try to PR yourself into relevance and success, then you aren’t really relevant or successful.
Exactly. If they are so “easy with each other” why does that need pointing out in an article? Charles and Camilla seem “easy with each other” and nobody goes around building that up in the media.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Thanks Snuffles. Kaiser really nailed this in her commentary and your comment above just hammers it home. Totally agree.
I want the Sussexes to post their Christmas card picture and the UK media to have a collective meltdown.
🎄 Oh, yes, Summerlover, I’ll have a bit of that, too! 🎄
Whatever their next move is, whether Christmas card or next work announcement, I can’t wait for it either! Team Meghan and Harry all the way!
There will be more excitement worldwide for the Sussexes’ Christmas card than for the Cambridges’ costly COVID choo-choo charade. Looking forward to the things the Royal Rota and KP come up with to criticize happiness. Will probably call the card (whatever it turns out to be/look like) gauche and discuss how “American” and “California” it is and how horrible it is that American tackiness seems to have rubbed off on Harry. Any other predictions? Taking bets.
They will bring out a body language expert to say how miserable Harry is in CA and how he would have wanted to go on the pandemic tour with Will and Kate.
I do hope we get a card but not sure if we will.
I’m expecting some attacks along the lines of “they said Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas! How dare they! When TQ, Charles, and Will are head of the CoE! This a monumental swipe at the royal family, who were blindsided by the woke couple!”
@Amy Too and @Ginger
Excellent predictions! Odds: 100%!
Me too.
Angela Levin is unhinged. If they are more relaxed now, it’s because they got what they wanted, – constant praise from the press and Harry and Meghan out of the picture. But I believe like others who suffer from white fragility, Meghan made William and Kate feel inferior and were intimidated by her. I think a lot in the press felt that way as well hence the open hostility towards Meghan.
Could Levin lay it on any thicker? Kate and William have been chilling at Anmer for months. Of course they are relaxed.
That Levin woman is an unpleasant piece of work…she is now sucking up to the Cambridges…there will be a book soon.
Angela Levin, really? Why weren’t the Keens a team before Meghan arrived on the scene?
How utterly pathetic this family is. My only wish is that Canada drop the monarchy and leave the commonwealth as it has no bearing on our lives. Take her face off of our money, and put a worthy Canadian on it.
These grifters have gone on long enough!
Ryan Reynolds would look great on your money!!
How about Bob & Doug McKenzie?
Joni Mitchell, Celine Dion, K.T. Lange, Buffy St, Marie, and Ryan Gosling, Lorne Cardinal, Tattoo Cardinal both Dan and Eugene Levy and Catherine O’Hara.
I’d like to add Leonard Cohen to that list please
Alex Trebek!
Don’t forget Michael J. Fox!
Justin Bieber. Don’t leave him out of the running.
Justin Beiber? Are you looking for a dishonorable discharge from Canada:)
@RoyalBlue my daughter and friends will be thrilled! They would never spend any money…..actually that’s a great idea!
Replace her with Terry Fox!
Rick Hanson, Chris Hadfield, Pierre Burton, Oscar Peterson, Frederick Banting, Chief Dan George, Norman Bethune – lots of amazing Canadians who have done so much more for Canada and the world than Petty Betty.
John Candy 🥲
I know there are comments and questions about why there are so many royal stories on this site. As an American who is horrified by the daily news and our current administration, this is my kind of escapism. Escape to the UK and be annoyed with someone else’s “top people”.
I’m glad I’m not the only one! I read and refresh every day for Royal news here. I tell my husband often that the Cambridge and Sussex articles and comments here at Celebitchy are my escape but could never articulate why. You phrased it perfectly, so thank you for capturing how I feel even though I couldn’t name it.
Same
Its the same for us in the UK – we come here to commiserate with you guys over your issues.
There is plenty room for us all at the bar!!
I admit I feel a closer bond with UK Celebitchies now than I did before you all got stuck with Boris Johnson. I feel like we all have our orange demons and we’re in this together lol.
@DU i’ll meet you at that bar when this pandemic is over!
Cheers ladies!!
@Becks1 & DU & all CBers – After the pandemic is over, we really do need to have a three-day CB convention in some wonderful place.
Exactly this for me as well!
same!
Same here
Yes, I go through phases of little commenting, but always reading. My essential worker duties get very overwhelming and lots of hours. But, escaping here and reading so many funny and like spirited post and comments is a blessing.
I concur.
Yep. I’m hooked. Obviously the stories are well read or there wouldn’t be so many of them!
When your major competition (that is better than you in regards to how you do your job) is gone you do feel more relaxed – that is a given. I am sure Trump would be more relaxed right now if his competition wasn’t Biden and was, let’s say someone else.
This also shows who low the Future Futures are – they allow this type of reporting and it’s toxic and makes them look inept in regards to all they do. I hope FFQC understands that this how Charlotte and Louis will be treated.
Co-sign everything you said Kaiser. Kate felt attacked by Meghan’s very existence, her presence in the royal family, the fact that she actually WORKED – that was all an attack on Kate – at least in her mind. And so Meghan had to go, and now Kate and Will are of course relaxed because they accomplished their goal.
Be careful what you wish for though, because the fawning coverage gets boring and people aren’t going to click, so the coverage will change.
I don’t think the paid fawning will cover up the fact that they just helped the Scottish independence movement by leaps and bounds with this ridiculous super spreader tour.
From your lips to God’s ears. I would love to see them lose Scotland. FREEEEDOM! Sorry I cannot resisit.
Agreed. The existence of Meghan was the threat, not anything she did. This is why all their criticisms never made any sense – a closed car door, nail polish, stockings, hats…
The silver lining is that we can see just how boring and uninteresting they are, now that Meghan has left.
Also, they left a YEAR ago! Harry and Meghan haven’t been in the UK doing royal work in over a year.
They’re the crazy, obsessive ex that cannot let go.
My thoughts exactly. Enjoy the fawning because the media will switch it up soon enough and it won’t be pretty. I’m just wondering how they will blame H&M for it.
All I’m reading is that they rightfully felt inferior by both Meghan and Harry. Getting them out of the country was the only way they could cope. Very pathetic for a future king and queen but worked out perfectly for the Sussexes.
This +1000. I don’t think the writer realizes what this actually reflects. The Keens were not “relaxed” because having the Sussexes around meant they actually had to work!
I would have believed it if they stopped using them as scapegoats or tell their cheerleaders to stop bringing them down prop them up
Some may disagree with me, but I think Will and Harry both got the spouse they wanted for their lives. Harry wanted a partner and someone to help him escape the firm. Will wanted a doormat that would also help him do his dirty work. Good job, BRF, you managed to keep the best couple to carry you through the future in a modern, changing England.
I’ll say it again, I don’t think George will ever be King. His mother and father may not ascend the throne either. Their pointlessness is on full display now. Does anyone even care about these people in England anymore? I feel like Petty Betty and Harry were the most popular. Harry is gone and Betty wont be around in 10-15 years. What’s the point?
I agree with you that William wanted a lazy sycophant who tolerated his wandering sceptre. That’s why it took so long for him to commit. He needed to make sure that she would accept anything he threw at her. And he was clearly fine with her laziness because it meant she was available to his needs when he felt like it.
I think Wills is embarrassed by Kate on a professional front though. The way he cringes when she’s doing a speech I can’t help but feel bad for her sometimes.
I imagine Cambridges are more relaxed as Covid means there’s been less work to do& there is less comparison with working styles as the Sussexes have been quite low profile. Plus whilst the Cambridges get OTT praise for the tiniest actions, they know their media buddies will slate the Sussexes for breathing.
I bet some of William’s issue with Meghan was that she was better at the job& the media was drawing comparisons between Diana & Meghan more than with Kate. There was a new People’s Princess headline when it came out she was visiting Grenfell survivors& there was even an article during the Oceana tour calling Meghan Queen of Hearts. That must have burned & I remember around the Oceana tour, the rota started saying Kate needs to do more speeches& come out of her shell more. So no surprise the palace takedown started after that tour.
Willie spent 10 years auditioning Kate to ensure she wouldn’t complain about his cheating, but I don’t think either of them even thought about how well she would do at the actual job. I don’t think he cared about how crap Kate was at the job until Meghan came on the scene. I think when Willie met Meghan he probably thought she would be some dumb trophy wife who love to shop. He wasn’t banking on her being so smart, articulate and hard working. Now he looks embarrassed by Kate because by comparison she looks completely useless next to Meghan. All the fawning in the press doesn’t actually mean anything because it’s not real. The media have been bought and paid for, so all the praise is manufactured and would stop in a second if the Keens don’t keep up their side of the agreement.
I don’t think William was exactly auditioning Kate. I think if Isabella or anyone else wanted him, he would have ditched Kate for good.
Tessa
This.
Kate was being strung along half because William wanted a backup option and half because she refused to leave. He married her because there was pressure by his family and the tabloids were not kind to him.
The revised history is he wanted to see if she was up for the job, but when you look at the facts that doesn’t hold up.
I agree with your first paragraph. I think they both got the spouse they wanted. William got someone who wouldn’t rock the boat and would turn a blind eye to any and all cheating. Harry got someone who is charismatic and perhaps, inspires him to be a better person everyday
White people will keep the monarchy alive.
Yup. George is far off so people may not able to picture it but I fully expect William and his son to ascend.
Err..most of us who want them gone are white.
But Q, there is no loud rumbling to remove them. Nobody influential and white is questioning them. Apathy will likely remain.
Most of Canada is done with them too. Put Terry Fox on our money, he at least has a legacy to be proud of.
ITA. George will not see that throne. If Baldy lives as long as his grandparents and great granny, young George has got like a 60 year wait on his hands. That institution is not gonna be around in 25 years, let alone 60!
I saw an article about zara paving the way for meghan because of the miscarriege news.
WTF , The BM were really unhinged. Everything that meghan did was an attack to the firm and they needed to claim her succes and even her sadness.
What then, meghan farted? BM will report that kate farted better and even shit at the same time.
Oh my goodness I am so glad I’d finished my coffee before I read your comment or I would have spit it all over the screen of my phone!
Yes I think you’re right.
I imagine they’re very satisfied with themselves, which is why they thought it was a good idea to go on a multi-country train tour during a pandemic.
Anyway, the BM are hopelessly reliant on M&H to make W&K interesting. Why is Kate dutifully wearing expensive and perfectly tailored clothing not enough for them?
Um people are seeing them as useless though…
Wow- a clear case of DARVO.
Deny, attack, reverse order of victim/offender. Classic abuse strategy.
Enjoy sunny CA, Megan, Harry, and Archie!
Exactly. Classic DARVO.
Awful, petty, disingenuous, revisionist commentary from Levin. Will and Kate were the ones doing the attacking via their press proxies; Harry and Meghan were the ones who were attacked constantly (still are, on a daily basis usually) and left as a result. Google Harry and/or Meghan’s name on any given day and the news results will return some unhinged headline or other from the Express, Mail, and/or Sun. Harry and Meghan have been chased out and these commentators still portray them as aggressors. Madness. It really is a case of “the Black woman has attacked me simply by existing”.
I never had a problem with Will and Kate until they revealed themselves in their treatment of Harry and Meghan. It’s telling that most commentary about them can’t get any traction without mentioning Harry and Meghan. They are and always will be the ones with the star power. Oh well.
That’s exactly right. Beside Meghan and Harry the pair looks like oatmeal (and worse), so they have to use Harry and Meghan’s names, and it’s always negative or abusive. #ThisIsNotJournalism.
Hmm, more like that at this moment in time they don’t feel threatened by the Sussex’s who have largely been out of the spotlight – just wait till next year when they start really pushing their foundation.
This is just respite before it all starts again when the Sussex’s start up public appearances.
But they are still threatened by H&M. The home purchase, Netflix, and the Frogmore deal have all been met with outrage and incandescence from the royal family. Even The Crown nonsense has been attached to Harry and Meghan. Even when the Sussexes are quiet the RF and BM bring them up. This isn’t what people who are relaxed do. This what people who are running scared do.
I was going to say the same thing @JT. All it takes is the least bit of news about Meghan and Harry, especially Meghan and the Cambridge’s and their minions in the press are off to the races.
Yeah they shouldn’t be relaxed and I don’t think they are. Not fully. I’m sure they’re not upset that COVID has slowed everything down but once everything is up and running again, I fully expect the smear campaign to be revived. Will and Kate are not competition for Harry and Meghan but Harry and Meghan are absolutely competition for Will and Kate. Distance won’t change that. The Sussexes command both the royal media and international media. They also don’t have to work around whatever busy work the Cambridges do so heaven help W&K if H&M have something going on at the same time. I mean H&M have been quiet for a minute and RRs still saw fit to talk about them in comparison to W&K. I think any “relief” they’re feeling will be short lived.
This vicious old bitch congratulated Zara on her pregnancy on Twitter and then made a snide comment about how it might give heartbroken Meghan hope. No reason except spite for bringing Meghan’s name into Zara’s good news. She’s also following the worst of the racist Mex**t trolls and pushing the fake pregnancy BS. She’s a monster. An absolute monster.
@GUESTWHO
“December 10, 2020 at 9:10 am

Wow. Just when you thought they couldn’t stoop any lower, they outdo themselves every single time. She is rubbing Zara’s pregnancy in Meghan’s face, almost like Zara being able to get pregnant again after previous miscarriages should put Meghan under pressure to be able to do the same. She is a vile, soulless creature and it speaks volumes that these are the types of demons that openly support the Cambridges. Angela needs to just admit she wants Meghan’s man and be done with it, because her obsession is beyond creepy.
I just…. how exactly did Meghan or Harry ever attack Kate and Will???? Wtf.
Yeah, I would be relaxed too if I was praised to high heavens just for merely existing. The tour was such a success guys – they were talking, roasting marshmallows, dancing, yet no talk of the actual frontline workers’ spirits actually being uplifted.
Yeah, she probably felt threatened by MM’s existence, Katie Keen is such a Karen.
And that pic of her touching the marshmallow? I’ll never look at it and not think of this quote “touching a marshmallow with her gloved hand, Kate said: “I’m going to have that marshmallow on my fingers all day” – reassuringly hygienic in a pandemic” from the daily record.
That was so gross! Don’t put your leather gloves that you’ve been wearing around COVID town directly on your food!
“ yet no talk of the actual frontline workers’ spirits actually being uplifted”
This is an excellent point
They only feel attacked by Meghan, not Harry. They were so happy when he was their third wheel. And why Harry spoke to this crazy witch Angela Levin for her book for 15 minutes??? He always hated RR so why did he speak to her? Please don’t say that KP forced him because he is a grown ass man not a child
KP promised her the interview and Harry kept dodging her. She went back to KP and complained that she hadn’t met Harry as they promised. He was made to talk to her.
I don’t know what she was like back in 2016 or whenever he did the interview but my guess is that she wasn’t as crazy as she is now. I think a lot of Harry fangirls who were not this wild before went nuts when Meghan came onto the scene and Angela is probably one of them
Even if she wasn’t crazy at the time, He shouldn’t have talked to her in the first place. They were losing their mind because they thought Meghan talked to Omid for his book even though she didn’t, but it was okay for their white prince to talk about himself with this woman for her book? Lol so funny
Angela, Emily Giffin, Sarah Vine and the rest of that coven are literally nothing but overgrown Harry fan girls. Racism aside, a lot of them are simply mad that their fantasy was ruined when Harry finally got married, especially to a woman they can’t see themselves in. They all loved Harry and pretended they saw him as a surrogate son when really they wish he could replace their own husbands, even the ones that are 20+ years older than him. They are sick and no better than the older men lusting after women young enough to be their daughter. No wonder they all refuse to fully condemn Andrew, they are birds of a feather.
I did a deep dive on Harry yesterday and was looking at engagements he has done over the years. He really was a fantastic working royal. His tour to Nepal was incredible. I can see why he is so popular. People just go nuts for him. They really didn’t want Harry to get married. He crushed a lot of hearts when he did.
The funniest part about this, to me, is that H&M are just living their lives. This continual competitive reaction to them is on the part of the people who drove them out, and it borders on psychotic.
Are they getting all of the attention now? Are they really the focus? Maybe. Yes, the RR cover them but I do think that is the type of coverage that W&K want. They want the global headlines that H&M get. Hence earthshot, global statesman, and 5 questions nonsense. This tour only got any coverage because H&M have been relatively quiet. I mean they were trashed by Welsh, Scottish, and the English government before Bono backtracked. The pandemic train tour is only deemed a success because Will and Kate say it is, in contrast to Meghan’s op-Ed which received global praise. Anything H&M do blow the RF out of the water and off the front pages, hence the Remembrance Day fiasco. W&K aren’t the winners here, not by a long shot. And no, I doubt they are relaxed behind the scenes. I believe they are quite panicked. Nothing they have done, including the entire monarchy, have made up for the loss of H&M and I believe they are feeling it.
Imagine being constantly compared to your brother who ditched the family business. What a miserable existence they must lead! It serves them right for backstabbing their own family for petty jealousy. Billy must be regretting not having his scapegoats to pull the pressure from him. It’s why they released that story of zara being pregnant.
The reaction to this debacle has been amusing to see. The keenbridges litterly handed Scotland/ Nicola sturgeon their independence & come brexit neither will the taxpayers be willing to fund their luxury lifestyle. The tabloids editors will eventually reach their limit and reevaluate their agreement with KP for access.
“ It’s why they released that story of zara being pregnant.”
Actually Mike Tindall (Zara’s husband) released that info himself by admitting it in a podcast.
Mike is a bit of a chatty patty but I don’t think there was any ulterior behind him announcing baby number 3. I think one of the royal trolls tied to take a swipe at Meghan with the announcement but it came across as just nasty and like she was trying to hijack their news. Remember the miscarriage happened 5 months ago, not when the op- Ed came out.
No longer feel under attack? The only one in that family who was constantly UNDER ATTACK was Meghan!
Exactly.
This just makes bill and cathy seem disgustingly racist.
A black woman existed and was better than me- that is a personal attack, how dare she!
They just get more and more gross as pathetic excuses for humanity.
This is a couple that had a painting of a slave boy in their living room and kept it there when the Obamas visited. They have always been racist.
It’s a nice enough landscape, with horses and dogs. Being them, they probably didn’t really notice the boy. Racism aside, they’re used to servants (oops, sorry, I mean staff). And it is from the 1500’s, so if it anything possibly crossed Ms. Art Historian’s mind at any point, she probably figured it’s okay because it’s “historical” (also, not British). In any event, they were clearly fine with it hanging in their living area.
I’m picturing a housekeeper going around with a duster right before the Obama’s visit, who notices the title on the bottom of the frame, which makes it clear, the subject of the painting is, in fact, the boy. And BTW, the original title is NOT “A Page with Two Horses”, as has been published in some places. So, they quickly stuck a plant in front of the nameplate, because that makes it all right.
(There’s a Guardian article from April 29, 2016 that has a picture of the visit, and the painting, but can’t link it here because it has the original title. As they point out, the Royal Collection has 7500 other paintings; surely there were at least a few other choices.)
President Obama must have had some thoughts, sitting directly across from the painting while chatting to BRF member William. In addition to the plant, several lamps were also put in front of the picture, but weren’t tall enough to obscure the obvious.
What’s also interesting about the picture of the 2016 meeting with the Obamas is, Harry’s there, sitting with the group. This was the end of April, so would have been right before he met Meghan. I wonder if the painting is still hanging in the Cambridge apartment…
As soon as things settle down and the world is recovered from the pandemic Harry and Meghan will rollout their foundation and outshine Will and Kate from across the Ocean. Truth is the world is not big enough for this not to happen.
I think the pandemic was the biggest blessing in disguise for H&M. It’s given them time to, not only escape from the clutches of the BRF, but to quietly regroup, plan, spend time with their child, and build a foundation for themselves (and I’m not even referring to their ACTUAL foundation) in secresy without KP trying to look over their shoulder. It’s going to be GLORIOUS to watch them in action when the world has recovered. W&K better enjoy the choo-choo rides and praise for swaying to music now, because I have a feeling they’re going to get wiped off the pages when H&M finally get to emerge. We’ve only gotten a taste of their capabilities, no thanks to Covid. But out on full display? Glorious. Glorious, I tell ya!!
Agree with everything above! The only reason they felt under attack was because the Sussexes were going about their own business but were just better and more personable than the Cambridges, and still are. That’s what you get if you sit around doing nothing for your entire 20’s. You end up a bit dull and uninteresting with nothing to say. But that’s what the Royals think they want, a Stepford Wife who will put up and shut up. The problem is, that none of the Royal spouses were like that, but it was easier to hide before people knew so much about how PR works and without Social Media. They and their sycophantic hangers on live in a bygone era. If they werent surrounded by yes men, someone would have told all of them to shut up, do some more work and stop leaking complaints to the press. They have give The Crown their biggest audience in years with their moaning. Netflix are laughing all the way to the bank!
Of course they were under attack: under attack to be better and do more than the bare minimum they’d been getting away with for a number of years.
Meghan comes along and is able to help put together a cookbook and raise an impressive amount of money for a charity she feels passionate about. Meanwhile, Kate was still reading and thinking and learning about what should interest her…or whatever the palace would say about her lack of engagements.
Now that the Sussexes are gone, the Cambridges can go back to doing the very least and getting the most praise.
Maybe Kate is more relaxed because Will isn’t staring and trying to hit on his sister in law. Maybe Will is relaxed because how dare this beautiful woman come in to his family, marry his younger brother and not fall in love with him. And maybe this is all just utter horseshit because they are both dumb as stumps and when they fail miserably, they use H&M as their reasons for why things aren’t great. Change the record you twats and prove your worth or buzz off.
“A beautiful, accomplished, charismatic and articulate woman” versus his lazy wife who can’t string a sentence together and comes up with zingers like “can you taste the tea by tasting it?” and “do they still make Faberge eggs”. Jeez, there’s no comparison
I need to correct the record. Kate, the brainiac and university grad said “can you taste the smell by smelling it”.
I’m sorry but “Can you taste the smell by smelling it” will never stop being one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard. I still laugh just as hard every time it’s referenced as I did the day it happened. It’s just an incredible sentence 😂
Does she not realize how sad she makes their relationship look like or no? Them being happy while roasting marshmallows because no Meghan? How unhappy are they usually? You would think a married couple sharing laughs is such a normal occurrence that does not warrant a commentary. But the RR and fans freaking out over back touches and smiles makes this kinda sad.
The rota are trying so hard to push these two as Harry and Meghan. The difference is, Harry and Meghan have insane chemistry and genuinely love each other. Kate and William don’t. It was never an issue until Meghan came along. The “zero affection” was fine back then. Now it’s a story if they even look at each other.
Kate is just so lazy and dumb it blows my mind.
But if she were charismatic and hard working- prince bill wouldn’t be able to take it. He would hate her and undermine her. Much like Charles hated Diana and Liz resented Margaret.
These people are so f-ing gross. PWT and TopCEO were never under attack esp by Harry and Meghan, they were the ones attacking the mixed race American actress because they felt threatened by her success and popularity, talk about turning tables.
I really need to stop reading about these two useless twits as I am beginning to really hate them and I make it a point in my life to not hate anybody but their obvious racism, classism, entitlement and embiggening is getting to me. When they are on the news I quickly switch over as I don’t want to hear the sycophantic fawning over useless human beings.
I need to take a leaf out of Harry and Meghan’s book and leave this stupid island, reporters can’t even say anything against the ‘royals’ without being attacked by the arse licking RR! Charles throwing his toys out of the pram because Netflix told the truth about him and the list goes on, this country is becoming more and more like North Korea and Thailand.
✊ ✊ France, can I come in?
“I really need to stop reading about these two useless twits as I am beginning to really hate them” – yes! 1000% in agreement!!
Agree. They were never under attack while the Sussexes were there, in fact they were quite complicit in the attack is on the Sussexes. However, they did feel very threatened by the Sussexes. They hated that Meghan saw her role in that family as working to highlight causes and charities, and represent with purpose and, yes, a bit of energy and charisma. The fact that trolls like Levin and the rest of the royal press pack continuously mention them shows they still need to use the Sussexes to prop up these two. Some royal reporter, who was trying to gloss over this tour did make a surprisingly good point, in that the royals are an arm of the UK government, and should be following government policies and promoting best practices. The royals have forgotten that in this quest for adoration and petty score settling. They have forgotten that their job is a branch of the government, and they are there to serve the people, not themselves. This wasn’t work, this was an ego-driven junket.
I think the real story here is (and one that people really don’t seem to want to tell) the real hatred these royal experts have for Meghan. And why the royal family has absolutely no problem with this hatred. I mean this woman says Meghan is angry about the attention Kate was getting during this tour.
There is just something very sick about this whole thing.
The reality that Meghan is unbothered by this nonsense. Part of why the royals didn’t like her was because she couldn’t be kowtowed by their ridiculous rules and unspoken social dictates. She was focused on doing the work and that seems to be the least important thing to these people.
Wait, she actually claimed Meghan was angry about the attention they got for this tour? It only ended yesterday and Meghan hasn’t uttered a word about it. What on earth is her basis for this claim?!
my husband is at the post office to mail out holiday cards and just WhatsApped me a picture of the stamps. a beautiful picture of harry and meghan on the stamp with ER and the crown on the top right corner.
Angela Levin is deranged. Her twitter feed is a full on Meghan troll account, from moonbump nonsense to the Harry as hostage stuff, it’s genuinely scary.
Half of the world has gone mad. It’s so sad that the education system has failed us because it appears that people are no longer taught logic and inference. The lady at the post office said the stamp was very divisive, people either love it or hate it. She said half the people who come in sneer at it and would say ;what are they doing there, they are no longer working royals and the other half absolutely love it.
Remember what Mantel said of Kate?
“a jointed doll on which certain rags are hung… a shop-window mannequin, with no personality of her own… [she is as] painfully thin as anyone could wish, without quirks, without oddities, without the risk of the emergence of character… She appears precision-made, machine-made.”
Yup. And Meghan is just the opposite – full of personality AND professional/polished. Self actualised women terrify the monarchy.
Mantel has been proven correct for almost a decade now.
@windyriver. I think that painting was there to make the Obamas feel uncomfortable. They blow Statesman Bill and his wife out of the water and we can’t have that. It was the Cambridge version of the blackamoor brooch. They absolutely could have removed that painting before the Obamas came in. It’s not like it was bolted to the wall.
Honestly I never understood why the Obamas had to bother with the Cambridge’s. He was the President of the United States. He should only have been obligated to meet the PM, maybe MP who influence policy, the Queen and Prince of Wales. The Cambridge’s and even Harry were fluff during that state visit.
Congratulations willie and kate,
You won the consolation prize for being the only one participating in the most useless competition.
Under attack? Is that a joke? If they are more relaxed, it is because people with energy and a greater work ethic are no longer there to make them look bad by comparison. I must be honest, I am not a huge fan of Harry and Meghan, but to claim any negative press about the Cambridges is Harry and Meghan’s fault, is ridiculous. William and Kate are nearly forty. Can you imagine interviewing someone for a job, and the applicant says, “Yes. Give me the job. You can provide me with unlimited benefits while I do next to nothing for the next (fill in the blank) years because I’ll need that much time to “settle” into the role.” Does anyone think that person would be hired? And if, by some miracle, that person was hired, would we be applauding them for doing the bare minimum? When I first heard about the Cambridge’s “whirlwind train tour”, I thought I misread the schedule. I assumed they were going to do this after the pandemic subsided. But to do it now? Terrible. But I guess if anyone calls them out on their idiocy, it must be Harry and Meghan’s fault because how could little William and Kate do anything wrong?
