I ask this question constantly, but really: what is wrong with the Princess of Wales? Why is she so insistent on playing grab-ass with her husband when he clearly does not want her to touch him whatsoever? Why does she continue to create these awkward photo-ops where she’s leaning over and grabbing his ass at public events like the BAFTAs and Royal Ascot and the Scottish coronation? Even if you believe – as I do – that it must be a really miserable existence to be married to Prince William, a violent man with a hair-trigger temper, I actually feel bad for William in this narrow instance. Imagine trying to do a work event and your lunatic wife is constantly grabbing your ass in front of cameras.
So, yeah – it happened again. Kate groped her husband at St. Giles’ Catherdral in Edinburgh. She did it in the middle of the church service which was, in fact, the Scottish coronation. What kills me is that William is so visibly unsettled by Kate grabbing at him – you can see in the photos that he doesn’t appreciate Kate molesting him in church. What’s even weirder is that the British media is gaslighting William about his visible discomfort, with outlets like the Mail and the Independent falling all over themselves to call it “cute” and “playful” and “rare PDA.” It’s not even rare – this is like the fourth time she’s done it in public in the past six months.

It’s so strange. This behaviour seems to have come out of nowhere. She’s either trying to pretend they are affection and is doing it completely wrong or she’s trolling him. Either way, he clearly doesn’t welcome it and she needs to stop.
It’s a photo op. Or maybe she’s trying to force his hand, have him snap at her in public so the Poor Khate narrative can take off
The devious part is it’s a win-win. They look lovey? Win. He looks upset or reacts badly, causing folks to think he’s a bad husband to his loving wide? Win.
Maybe you’re right about her forcing his hand, Seaflower? And Rapunzel, to a certain extent it is a win-win for now, but if the tide turns against her, she must know that the RR will be writing about how inappropriate her behavior was. Or does she get paid each time she does it? I am gobsmacked that she doesn’t go for the small of his back in a church.
@Rapunzel: That’s an interesting way to look at it, but it’s only a “win-win” for Kate to those who seem to think that White women can do no wrong. I think it’s a dangerous way to think and it allows them to get away with terrible things against others, while always trying to claim the mantle of “victimhood.” I think we should all expand the way we think about who can be an aggressor. Another way to look at these incidents is that Kate knows William doesn’t appreciate it when she does that in public, but she still keeps doing it knowing that the British media will cover for her. And every time this happens, there are more than a couple of people here ready to fall over themselves to say that William “made Kate cry” with his coldness toward her. I just know that if I saw a man (husband or not) keep doing this to his wife while at “work” or in public, I’d be pissed off — at HIM.
All he needs to do is smile for the cameras and pointedly remove her hand from his person while making sure the lip readers catch him mouthing “this is neither the time nor the place for that, Catherine”. I hate being made to feel sorry for this dickhead.
If that’s the case, Seaflower, Kate is more PR savvy than her husband and that’s both hilarious and super sad that William has learned nothing after all of these years.
Maybe she’s just in a shitty marriage and still trying to save it? Everyone here loves to comment on how not bright she is, but credit her for super devious shit.
I don’t think that a devious person has to be a bright or intelligent person. Sometimes our intelligence is a journey through learning and being able to attaining information. Being devious can be part of a person’s character and be unrelated to how smart they are.
She’s definitely trolling him. It obvious they are all aware of the #PrinceofPegging hashtag and this is her feeding into it. She could touch him anywhere but doesn’t AND the press is writing about it which lets you know she and the press are getting malicious enjoyment out of it.
No wonder he looks so relaxed around Sophie but tense and pissed around his wife. Must suck to know your partner is undermining you every chance they get. It would hurt almost as much as a brother undermining you every chance he got, so karma. The only work these people do is be petty, consistently cross boundaries, brainstorm ways to make each other miserable, and collude with the press.
Awful family & work environment.
Totally trolling. She knows that even a light touch on the arm would be called PDA by the press. There’s no need to try groping Will through acres of velvet cape.
Unfortunately, she is generating sympathy for a completely unsympathetic man.
I’m gonna be real, I don’t have any sympathy for for Will At. All. The way that this man is a bully and racist has be totally against him. How Kate is behaving is awful and she should stop.
This is sexual harassment. I do not like Willy one bit, but this needs to stop. No one, including a spouse, may touch without permission. Gross!
Anything for press attention. Kate’s so obvious and it’s hilarious, girl how desperate can you be.
beautifully broken, ITA. If he did this to her, everyone would be calling it out. It is incredibly disrespectful to do this to someone. I don’t care if they’re famous or not. I feel absolutely no sympathy for her when she’s doing this to be mean. It is sexual harassment. Look at him stare down at her arm.
I think she needs to think about what she’s doing here. She coming across as someone who doesn’t know how to conduct themselves in Church or public events. She is not Princess Di. If she’s hoping this will garner sympathy, good luck to her. I’m going to be smiling when the bm goes after her for this when the separation gets publicized. Coupled with her exhibitionism with show her twat whenever it appealed to her and then no slips with light in the background, the bm will have a field day.
It doesn’t look like she’s grabbing his butt…it looks like she’s placing her hand on his back, something many folks do when talking.
Wow. Nothing gentle or unassuming about Khate. She was a very determined and very public predator who stalked him until she was the last woman standing. Her nicknames because of her behavior were not flattering at all, the mattress, waity, plus others. The photos that are still around on the net, no knickers, drunk in the back of cars and in clubs, all over men in clubs, working as a yacht girl, flashing her naked butt whilst doing royal duties. Nothing demure or unsure here… definitely not a victim. No fairytale romance or love story here. Was Wills supposed to declare her to be his soulmate, once he woke up to all the manipulation that got her into his life, I doubt that they would have anything much in common. No sympathy for either of them, especially for her. She was so determined and calculating to entrap him.
What I don’t get is…(and someone refresh my memory or correct me here): Wasn’t there an interview with W&K where they were both either sitting in chairs/on a couch (and I remember she had a long-sleeved sweater on) where William went to touch her and she recoiled? I am stumped by her behavior. I do agree with many of you that she is trying to force him to grab her hand and speak sharply to her so that she becomes a sympathetic figure.
They were baking with Mary berry at Christmas.
Kate moved her shoulder away from his hand but kept a smile on her face the whole time.
In the nhs video this week where William rolled his eye and looked annoyed for a microsecond, he was smiling and pleasant immediately afterwards. So maybe they’re both better actors than they’re given credit for. The videos don’t look so bad, but photos capture bad feeling between them.
“Kate molesting him in church” 😂🤣🤣. I can’t. That sentence alone is serotonin + dopamin injection on my brain.
I don’t know who Kate takes advice from but she’s making her cleverest move in a long time: she exposes Bullyiam for who he is – an uncaring, unloving, rose-driven sorry excuse of a husband, while striving to compete (her favorite part of life) with Meghan’s natural displays of affection.
Kate is building up her Mighty Aphrodite public persona, which is in keeping with her villainous nature.
I mean, if my husband were getting pegged by the neighbor and I had no power to leave, I’d constantly be reminding him and the media about his bum.
She has the power to leave but that’s one Diana cosplay you’ll never see K re-enact.
Agree! The only thing this mean woman has ever fought for is to be “queen”.
Hmm, maybe she is trolling him. As if to say, “How’s your bum this morning, darling?”
Maybe she’s so bottled up that she just doesn’t care what anyone thinks of her acting out?
If that’s the case, there’ll be more fireworks to come.
Are we all forgetting the period where she would constantly flash this with her Marilyn Monroe moments? She is either an exhibitionist or very passive aggressive person.
@my3cents: VERY passive aggressive indeed
@my3cents, don’t forget her nickname at Marlborough was Middlebum, because of her habit of mooning out of her dorm window. For all her innocent, perfect image (among some groups), this girl has a serious freak factor at times. I also agree with the idea that she’s very passive aggressive. However, this increasing tendency to grab Wails’ butt in public seems to signal an increase in the aggressive part of that phrase. I don’t know if it signals a growing trend in trolling him, or if she’s so completely over it that she’s going to taunt him into making some sort of a public rebuff against her that she can then use against him. All that said, there’s something seriously wrong with her thinking and behavior, and it’s becoming more and more noticeable. Add on that spectacle at Wimbledon on Monday, and it adds up to some real ugliness occurring in the future. And if it’s a game she’s trying to play to assert some dominance, she going to lose. Once he decides it’s time, the RF will close ranks against her, and she will be done. It may be coming sooner rather than later if things like this keep happening. Wails is not known for his patience.
The only other explanation I can think of is she’s over medicated or drunk, but that would affect everything, not just her judgement. She’s not walking in high heels over cobbles too drunk or stoned without some incident, so she’s really making this choice.
so not only is Rose Hanbury the future bicycle Camilla she is also wearing the strap on? Perhaps that is why Mr. Rock Savage is playing along — maybe Wills and the hubs are all playing together.
Even if William loves it (which he clearly does not), this would not be appropriate behavior at a public event—in church! I thought Kate had a wonderful middle class upbringing.
@Brassy Rebel – I agree. We’ve heard/read so many articles about how Kate saw QEII as a role model. In all her years as monarch I cannot recall one single picture where QEII patted her husband on the bum, or went all gooey eyed at a celeb film star, tennis player or any of Prince Phillip’s relatives.
I don’t know who’s advising Kate but, she’s repeatedly showing that she’s not queen material. Her behaviour is giving William (and Camilla) the ammunition to get rid of her. Even the other queens in Europe don’t embarrass themselves (and their subjects) by acting like a “brazen hussey” when representing their countries.
I don’t know about that, have you seen pictures of QEII and Justin Trudeau 😉
Kate does have a habit of acting inappropriately in a church 🙄 just touching someone who’s uncomfortable with it is one thing but she just has to grab his ass for the cameras, not an elbow, his upper arm, but his ass. It’s really uncomfortable to see and passive aggressive and pretty much harassment.
I just don’t feel much sympathy for him at all.
I mean most of us here do not have much sympathy for William. However, as I said above, it feels deeply uncomfortable to see her touch his ass when he clearly does not invite it or seem okay with. If it was William doing this to Kate, it would also still be uncomfortable and gross AF.
I’ve commented before, here and on Twitter, that some of her very worst behavior happens in church. Her catty glances and expressions at H&M’s wedding, this disgusting display at the Commonwealth service, her turning around to look at H&M and then looking disgusted while mouthing the word “wow” at the Jubilee service, the juvenile attempt at a “tiara” at the coronation, despite the express wish that none be worn – it’s the weirdest thing that she simply cannot behave herself in church. I can’t begin to explain it, but it’s definitely a pattern with her. Did CarolE, in her lifelong project to get her girls married into royalty/the aristocracy forget this one very important item of education? It has to be something with Kate, because Pippa does nothing like this.
Kate had to get confirmed in the Church of England months prior to the wedding which says how much the Middletons attended church. She was 29 and grew up in England so for her church is a time to get photo ops.
William also wasn’t raised going to church except when staying with the queen. When he was a teenager he had to sign something (can’t remember what?) and he had to fill in what his religion was. He had to stop and ask Charles because he didn’t know.
The only thing I can think of is that she knows it will get her headlines. And for someone who years ago seemed to shy more away from the cameras, these days Kate seems to be hyper focused on cameras at all times. She’s either staring straight into it like a lioness on the hunt or she’s playing silly games–groping, cosplaying–that she knows will get people talking about her. It’s desperation.
Kate was always a look at me type even before the engagement. At wills passing out parade at sandhurst Kate wore bright red and mugged and played to the cameras. I never saw her as camera shy.
Kate and Will both had a very different attitude towards the press in general in the beginning. I’m not saying she never looked at a camera, but in the waity days there was a lot more RBF on Kate’s part. The mugging and preening that we see today is off the charts compared to the early years.
Kate never met a camera she didn’t love. She’s not shy either. It’s an act. She probably a real.bit#* behind the scenes. Her and will probably abuse each other!
In the early waiting years, James Whitaker said he’d never seen anyone who loved being photographed as much as Kate Middleton. A Papparazzi said you can tell when people don’t like you taking their picture, and Kate loved it.
I worked on a new desk in the UK back in the waity Katie days- and the word was that she would prep inside the clubs, making sure,hair, makeup everything was right before making her way out for the papparazi that she had informed where she would be. She is completely contrived. She was then and she is now. Also Katie Nichol worked for the mirror if I remember correctly as a 3AM girl during this time- it was a gossip page and she got her foot in the royal door becusse her father was a royal reporter and her mother worked for NBC news London Bureau. Total nepo baby. She took her dads contacts when he retired. Asap and replace.
I can’t say I remember her shying away from the cameras but this burst of butt PDA as well the recent articles embiggening her backroom influence reminds me of the campaign she and CarolE waged before the Diana statue unveiling. That PR campaign was unsuccessful but it was clear what she wanted from W. Maybe this is her way of declaring that she wants to remain married. Should the marriage fail then her attempts at PDA will show that it wasn’t her fault. The stories about her “power” and “influence” help to cast her as an invaluable asset whom W can’t afford to discard. In the event that he does, K remains secure in her image as the unfairly treated wife.
I said she was MORE camera shy than she is now. I did not say she was camera shy. I still believe and stand by my own opinion that her preening and carrying on has increased exponentially in the last couple of years compared to the waity years. For all her old mugging, there was an equal amount of photos of Kate giving paps death stares, especially when she wasn’t getting what she wanted from Will. Nowadays her showboating and acting out comes off as ultra calculated and passive aggressive. That’s all I’m saying. I never claimed Kate was a wallflower.
Kate has a need for attention that’s very disturbing, and it’s a big reason she’ll never walk away from this marriage voluntarily. Can’t give up that spotlight. Don’t know if it’s narcissism, or some compulsion, but it’s so odd – what person does a fashion shoot at her father-in-law’s funeral, especially a man who’s a globally important figure? This goes back at least to her flashing days Marlborough, and even if there once was a brief period of being uncomfortable with the media blitz, she got over it quickly, as per all the times she flashed her bare butt when her skirts flew up. At every family gathering, her attempts to draw focus are obvious, via colors/clothes/jewelry, where she stands, or active cosplay. If she were a nicer person, I might have some sympathy for what seems to be a real problem, if only because the people surrounding her (C&C, Will, etc.) are as bad, or worse.
But she’s not a nice person. All along, she’s been as mean, vicious, and calculating as any of them. Whatever games she’s playing these days, I believe she’s already crossed the line, with the faux tiara and showing up late for the Chubbly, pulling attention from C&C at the flower show, and wearing green at the trooping with all the other principals in red. And now, getting all handsy with Will, who obviously dislikes it. We’ll see what happens next.
I only care that the kids are alright, because Charlotte especially is in for a rough ride in a few years when she’s old enough to be competition for her mother.
Her father-in-law’s funeral?
I’d be more worried about charlottes grandmother.
Her grandfather-in-law’s funeral. Chuck isn’t a “Weekend at Bernie’s” king…yet.
Oops! Of course, thx for the correction…And agree she does always seem to know where the cameras are.
When royal dish forum was still anti Kate there was a thread called “Kate: camera hungry eyes”. All the photos were of Kate staring directly at the camera, surrounded by people who were all pointing and looking in a different direction.
Yes and they quickly shifted that to Meghan despite Kate never changing in her efforts to get the camera spotlight.
😂😂 What is going on with these two?!?
I honestly think Kate is just really desperate now to hold onto whatever else is left in this marriage. She knows it’s over. And all this Diana cosplay lately makes herself think she IS like the Diana in her own marriage. It’s very odd.
All that’s left of the marriage is Prince William’s butt.
She’s grasping at pegs
Grasping at pegs – so funny!! Thanks for the laugh, MipMip.
I believe she is trying to be like Meg and Harry. Problem for her is they actually love one another and do touch a lot. Can’t and Peg are not in love and it is just so awkward and judging by Pegs expressions when it happens annoying to him. Can’t seems desperate.
ITA. Meg and Harry have chemistry. He reaches for her, she reaches back, they make eye contact and smile…it’s cute. William is looking straight down at Kate’s hand and clutching his program.
@susanCollins, possibly Susan, but I think it was the usual “stop worrying Billy, your peg doesn’t look big in this 😂😂, by the way my friends, I had a real laugh out loud moment last night watvhing a video of her at Wimbledon! I hope our Kaiser sees it, Roger came into the court, kissed his wife, turned to say hello to Katey kins and SHE leant into him expecting a kiss 😂😂😂, yep not a hope in hell. Now, something else that was picked up in the usually sycophantic press was and I quote “Kate rather rudely told Roger to sit down”! Sooooo big sulk move because of noooo kissy kissy there Kate 😂😊😂
@Mary Pester. Wow would love to have seen that!! Rejection from a man she fawns over whenever in his presence. She is a nasty piece that one.
omg! geez that’s insane. Poor Roger.
There are quite a few vids where Kate is seen trying to hold hands with William and he denied her. I’m thinking in Boston in that green dress and at the BAFTAS in those black gloves. So perhaps she decided, fine then I’ll do a sneak attack from behind and there’s nothing you can do about it bc I’ll do it blatantly in front of the cameras. It’s still deeply uncomfortable to see.
I think you have nailed it. This is the only way she can try and convince people that she and Willnot are hot for each other, like Meghan and Harry. It’s not all that shocking that it happens in church, since that’s the only time they are guaranteed to be together, with the press aiming cameras at them.
To be clear, they are both awful, and this is karma at its finest. I am not going to wring my hands that the PoWails is being sexually harassed by his lazy wife. There are ACTUAL VICTIMS, and these two deserve each other.
She’s annoying and this looks like passive aggression. Whatever the cause i hope she stops this. Harry and Meghan were criticized for holding hands but this considered great by the media when Kate does this.
Yeah, you can tell they don’t do PDA at all with how awkward this looks. William clearly does NOT want Kate to touch him. Kate does not know how to act in public. She still comes across as new and not knowing what the rules are. Embarrassing.
I believe this is her new compulsive move! As a “perfect” princess she can’t afford anymore to show us too much with blowing dresses as she opts for long dresses and a rather conservative style. So, how else can she get the headlines? The girl has to do what a girl has to do 😏
That’s what gets me. Meghan and Harry get fire and brimstone rained down on them. But Kate is praised for butt grabbing in church, during the King’s “coronation”. Funny how nobody is calling her attention seeking.
These two are a mess but then the whole monarchy seems like its teetering on the edge. People wanted to rain down fire on Harry and Meghan for holding hands in a church but now I guess patting the butt in church is ok if you’re a white royal.
Whenever festive glances won’t do…
Seriously though, Duchess of Decorum aka ‘Kate Middlebum used to moon people’? In a church? Against her husband’s will?
If they truly lived together, they’d have talked about this, but as they don’t, they never got around to.
At least she’ll give the Derangers and the toxic British media something to write home about.
When someone said shed grabbed his ass again I thought maybe it was prearranged to make up for Kate being dragged on twitter the last time, publicly humiliated. Maybe William agreed to another grab without him glaring at her, for good PR. But then I saw the photos and no, he looks annoyed again.
I hate to say it but if the roles were reversed we would be having a much different conversation about what the dynamics of this marriage were. I know Williams an ass but honestly this is kinda unfair to him. In addition to diversity training perhaps the palace needs to offer sexual harassment seminars to its Principals just to at least say they tried at the end of the day😔
Pass.
Kate is a vile passive aggressive lunatic and Will is a violent raging narcissist. The deserve each other.
Exactly. Don’t really care if they devil or diddle each other to death!
They deserve each other. Same goes for Chuck and Bride-of-Chucky.
None of them really live with their spouses and Kate just does this to make people THINK she and Baldy are together. Perhaps they should all take acting lessons. (Hmm, there WAS a family member nearby who could have recommended a good acting coach…)
I don’t think it’s defending William and his temper by saying that any spouse who tried to manhandle the other one without their consent is harassing them.
Kate is banking on the benefit of the doubt that women get when they get aggressive with their spouses. Flip the genders with this behaviour and it does not play the same way.
This certainly matches the “gives as good as she gets” comments made by the Uk media.
A and Nic919, I sad something similar above. I’m tired of women getting a pass when it gets to sexual harassment. If he kept doing this to her, people would be calling it out. I don’t care that neither of them have any redeeming qualities. To being doing this in Church and brf events is disrespectful to anyone there, IMO. She’s hoping people will see her in the same way as we saw how miserable Princess Di was. Guess what? She’s setting herself up for a huge fall when the bm go after her when a separation is announced. Her exhibitionism is something that can be used against and will. Just wait.
She’s obviously trying to play happy marriage in public but girl, let’s try some heart eyes cause he obviously does not want you touching his butt….or maybe switch to his knee? they’ve never been the touchy-felt type. i wonder if they practice formality in their marriage too….
It’s almost like she’s just doing it to piss him off.
Unable is very aggressive, her latest was cutting off a woman telling them, first you put on the jelly then the cream, unable said she put on the cream then the jelly, Cain did a massive eye roll.
There is apparently sound food science reason why it’s right to put the jam on first, but it’s too hard for me! I can never get enough clotted cream when the jam goes on first, and then the little butter knife for the clotted cream gets smeared with jam. Plus, I like to spread the clotted cream in a really even layer before I put on the jam, which is easier to pile on top because it’s looser. Anyone else?
Yes!! The cream is the star of show and there should be a lot of it. It plays the role of butter on bread so should be between the scone and cream.
Ahh, the age-old debate! It depends on the type of cream and jam. I like whipped cream, which is much lighter so I do jam first then the cream on top (using separate knives!) Apparently since clotted cream is much heavier/denser it’s better to put clotted cream on the bottom then top with cream.
The jam or cream first debate is a big thing among those who love cream teas. In Cornwall, the traditional method is jam first then the cream on top. As Duchess of Cornwall, Kate should know that which is probably why William was rolling his eyes when she said she put the cream on first.
*Top with jam
Nothing new with that – she has always been aggressive esp in her pursuit of William. All 3 Middleton women are, they take after Carole who is also very aggressive.
Kate actually said she put the jam on first’ then the cream, which was repeating what Mel said. I think that’s why William raised his eyes, then looked annoyed. Her comment was surplus to requirements.
The woman Mel is a famous British tv Presenter.
In Cornwall it’s Jam first, next door in Devon cream first. They’ve been arguing about it for hundreds of years.
This is very confusing for me. As other CBers have commented, this has to be a calculated on her part – so that when he looks uncomfortable she can play the neglected wife. There is no other explanation for this. But is she that obtuse to think this will work? Is she that dimwitted to think these antics will go unpunished? During the Scottish coronation???
And they are not a dating couple in their 20s drinking and being kids. These are grown adults, fully aware that the future of the monarchy rests on their shoulders. She could certainly place her hands elsewhere. And if this is calculated on her part, then she is a bigger idiot than I thought. THIS is not the way to play with The Firm.
I’m sure Charles will be juste so so happy that the only thing people will talk about regarding the Scottish coronation will be the Boos and and ass groping.
Wonder if it was just the thing to push him over the edge and punish Kate, à la flower show
This is either a deliberate attempt to make them look loved up that he’s not participating in, or she’s passive aggressively reminding folks of the pegging rumors, knowing that he is stuck to accept her behavior.
No wonder he does as little as possible with her.
One of these days Baldy will give her a very stern telling off and it will be glorious to see it captured in public. He’s already slapped her hand away when they were at the BAFTAs, now he’s rolling his eyes at her insufferable ways. Baldy is far from perfect, I find him repugnant, but if he’s clearly uncomfortable with being groped like this constantly, then she needs to stop it.
That’s exactly what she is going for.
He could just get up off his [much discussed] backside and file for divorce.
Khate has to dominate as usual. It is very practised how she scans for the camera lens. Groping Will is totally inappropriate and designed to make her the centre of attention. Trashy and attention seeking is what she is doing. Bitchy mean girl behavior is definitely not royal or regal. Her lack of knowing how to behave is showing. Not a royalist, but Charles waited so long to become King, classless camera hog Kate is constantly trying to take over, let him enjoy his moments as King. The UK will be in more trouble, if and when Khate the classless, clueless, commoner takes over as Queen and Wills becomes King whilst being influenced by Khates grifter roots. Two sayings seem to apply, you cannot make a silk purse out of a sows ear and you either have class or you dont, you cannot buy it. Money and wealth have nothing to do with it, Khates lack of class is becoming more and more glaringly evidenced by her behavior, as is her extreme narcissim.. She really seems to believe her title makes her superior, that she does not have to do anything other than feed her every whim and spend money without any limits. She seems to have no empathy and no understanding of basic human kindness, its always only about her.
…and she’s a mother.
She does it to get his attention – to make it look like he’s talking to her for the pap shots. It’s VERY deliberate on her part. Its also a desperate ploy to make it look like they share the same bed.
She has no shame!!!!
He’s starting to look like his grandfather in these pics LMAO
He did look 20 years older in that one photo with the sun coming in on them. Interesting how that works.
I know she’s trying to play up the “happy couple” angle, but good lord, knock it off! Even the most PDA-inclined couples know there’s a time and a place, and church is not it.
Kate has watched a lot of Harry and Meghan videos and she thinks PDA will increase her popularity and get her attention. The thing is Meghan never grabbed Harry’s ass in public and what gets me is the same press that’s swooning over Kate’s PDA attacked Harry and Meghan every time they held hands.
Kate tries to cosplay the Sussexes PDA and fails spectacularly because William is so over her… at this point, she should just stop making this kind of moves because he barely keeps his contempt for her in front of the cameras.. i mean, just, yesterday, he was eye rolling her in the video for the NHS. He is rather rude because no matter what she’s the mother of his children and she’s ready to put up with everything as long as she remains the princess of Wales and the future queen…they, really, deserve each other 🙄🙄👆
The constant grabbing comes across as quite pathetic ..Whatever happen to modesty and public decorum.
There is one solo photo of Kate in the church spotlight looking angelic. Was that pre-designed?
It is the sunlight that beamed down on Kate.
Kate has never been modest. the rf has sued and tried to scrub the internet but lots of pic’s still to be found on twitter.
Just an aside but I wonder if Chuck or PWT will ever let her into the various orders so she can wear the fancy robes. She’s so obviously not in the inner sanctum when she’s not wearing them (and would they ever trust her being a Councillor of state?).
This is very intentional. Kate does this not just in public but when they are front and center. Her hand could be on his mid back if she wanted to appear affectionate, but it’s always lower than his back. I checked the dm comments yesterday and they were 80% negative, same with her crazy flirting with Federer.. She has an odd history of repeatedly flashing her bottom and now she keeps grabbing her husbands when he cannot step away from her. She is really making the rf look low class.
Lizzie, I was just thinking this butt grab thing had the same vibe as the flying skirts era. Like a very passive aggressive middle finger from her.
Heart eyes for Roger Federer, looking stern & a butt grab for William.
I hate to say poor William, but he is clearly eyeing her hand, wondering when she’s going to take a hint! Most women have been through the same situation, and it sucks to not be able to do anything in the moment for fear of something…in this case, he can’t clearly tell her no because they are in a very public setting with all eyes on them.
I’m sure he has told her not to do this, but she will continue to play dumb and act like a “loving” wife who is continually crossing set boundaries when she didn’t bother setting any of her own in order to get the ring and the titles.
I’m starting to think about a different theory for this deliberate touching–Kate is starting an “I’m worried about William” campaign, so when he tosses her aside officially she will say it is because he’s not himself. When she touched his backside at Ascot, there was a train of thought that she was just looking out for him to keep him from backing into people. Also, there was a recent article (which I am sure Kaiser will get to) about William being so nervous before the Oprah interview that included a quote that Kate was concerned about him. It feels like they are building a new narrative here; this protective hand gesture is too obvious to be anything other than an act. CarolE’s second mother schtick has been cancelled so it’s now Kate who has to come through as the protective one for poor little Willy who is suffering so much under the pressure of being POW without H&M.
The standard “concern” mode is hand on the back of the shoulder. That she is aiming so low tells me this is deliberate and meant to send a message.
I noticed this on the TV coverage, and just couldn’t understand why she’d be doing this at all, but especially at a super-formal/serious event like the Scottish coronation. It’s so inappropriate. And she’s clearly doing it deliberately so I assume she thinks it’s cute, or something. Why on earth couldn’t she just put her hand on his arm if she absolutely has to touch him – why does she have to keep pawing at his arse?
She knows he can’t wriggle out of that one like he did when she tried to hold his hand at ascot
These two are SO dysfunctional, my goodness.
It might be that she thinks this is cute, charming PDA but considering how she keeps doing it when it’s clear that Willy is not into it I think it’s more likely she’s trying to piss him off.
Maybe things are as bad as we think between them and she’s also seeing how she’s been thrown under the bus. She might be trying to get a reaction in public, because if he went incandescent with rage after she “affectionately” tried to touch him and everybody saw it, it would help her. She would be the victim and he might be forced to play happy families with her in the public eye to stop people thinking they hate each other.
It would be cute if they were at a polo match and not in Church while their Head of State is being crowned. Like, she always ignores context. Like showing her underwear while wearing hot pink at a 9/11 Memorial service.
Yeah, I agree with you. But as you say, Keen does not know how to behave in public. There’s also the fact that she has to take her chances when she can and it’s not as if her husband shows up with her to many places.
It’s never cute when his clear response is don’t touch me. Notice she does this when he is in a position where he cannot walk away.
The one thing that is clear to me is these two couldn’t be better suited for the other. They are the same.
Oh she is definitely trying to get a response from him. If she doesn’t stop soon William will respond and it won’t be great for her.
As a dynamic between them it’s so EFFING creepy – so inappropriate – and she keeps doing it!!!! We can’t say what her motive is but we can say that this strange thing she keeps doing is another sign that she’s really not okay and that marriage is definitely not a healthy one.
Isn’t this supposed to be a somewhat solemn event held in a church? Why is she playing grab ass? Even if she and that husband of hers got along it would be inappropriate. She’s so weird.
Grabbing ass in church??? What was she thinking. Seriously I’m so sick of her lunatic fans calling her ‘ classy and elegant’ when she behaves like this.
There’s not much ass there to pat, if we’re being honest. But assaulting Pegs during the Scottish chubbly is overshadowing the king! Oh no!
There was a woman, sitting behind Kate, wearing the same colour blue. She looked so pretty. No idea who she was, but had such a 1960s look to her.
But, but, but Kate never puts a foot wrong …
This is just gross behavior. And Kate looks so SEVERE. Her looks are fading fast.
To be fair, she didn’t use her foot. 🙂
LOL
I’m sorry but from these pictures, I do not see a grope, or grab, or any inappropriate touching in a church by Kate. What am I missing?
Speaking personally, if Mr. Jaded patted my bum in public I’d be mortified. But he would never do that, and would be equally mortified if I did it to him. Add to that they are royals and have to maintain a high level of decorum in public so it’s totally inappropriate behaviour, and she’s clearly doing it to send a message that her marriage is happy or that her husband is a cold, unaffectionate jerk. Either way it’s a fail.
I’m still looking for it myself — her hand was so far away from his ass and the 17 yards of fabric he was wearing there’s no chance.
Right? I’m reading these comments and wondering what I’m missing because her hand is nowhere near his ass, let alone groping it through that gigantic velvet cloak.
I love this for dumb Will. Kate has his balls and there’s nothing he can do but clench his orifices harder.
Kate is a LUNATIC!
Future Queen Grab-Ass. Queen AllAboutTheAss, Queen ILikeBigButtsAndICannotLie or Queen ShowMineGrabYours.
While not quite at the level of Putin v Progozhin and a little different than Musk v Zuckerberg, it is in the same vein of not having a side to root for.
I don’t see the grabbyness, just a light touch. She’s going for H&M PDA but failing miserably. William doesn’t want a bar of it but Kate probably doesn’t appreciate his finger in her face especially when it’s caught on camera. If he wants rid of her he should put his big boy pants on and do something about it, Daddy dearest isn’t going to order anything like the Queen did with him. Not that it’s at that level yet. Still, no sympathy for William here. It’s not Kate that’s biting him in the ass.
Touching him on the bum in church during a royal ceremony is way inappropriate. The small of his back would have been fine. Touching him on the bum at a film premiere would have been fine. This was wack. That said I have no sympathy for either one of them, nor the “king.”
If you want to show concern, touch his shoulder. If you want his attention or to move him in a particular direction, touch his waist. If you want to initiate sex or let him know he is sexy, touch his butt at home. Not in church, or at the races, or anywhere in public. At home.
Kate just been embarrassing herself lately first with the Roger guy and now this I don’t know why she acting so desperate and thirst lately . She desperate to proof something all the attention seeking behavior lately it weird.
Somebody needs to give Kate a proper talking to about her behaviors in public.
She is looking down right goofy these days.
#1. Hands to yourself Kate.
#2. Stop grinning like a chimp, close your mouth.
#3. You are not the top dog in any event if your Husband, FIL, or MIL are present. You are a supporting player while they are alive. Your big claim to attention will be as the Mother of the FFK, not as Queen. Because as George ages, you will be moved over.
Why can’t she be retrained in her public behaviors? All that is required is be clean, well dressed and polite.
Princess Anne can do it for 12 hour days, exhausted and still work rings around the rest of those females in the BRF.
I actually hope that William swats her hand away in public one of these days.
This nonsense is so easy to see thru, he clearly hates being patted in public and I can’t see why she keeps doing it. QE and PP did decades of public events and there was none of this baloney going on.
As loved up and affectionate as the Sussexes are, you NEVER see a photo of either of them trying to pat each other’s behinds. That is SO CRASS. They hold hands, link arms, hug, give each other loving looks, but no bum-patting. If Khate is trying to show the world how lovey-dovey she and Willnot are, she’s going about it in the worst possible way. I imagine she does it passive-aggressively because if she tried to hold his hand or link arms he’d shrug her off like a pesky fly.
I think she’s trolling. I think the Middletons were the source of the pegging story. I think this is her way of reminding everyone about it. It’s like she’s checking to see if he’s sore
Maybe if he yelps in pain then there’s her proof that he’s had a hard night’s pegging?
The more Kate keeps doing this, the more I find myself on Williams side.
Hands to yourself at all times, both of you.
Unless someone is about to trip or fall.
These are public work events.
Show up, photos, get lost.
All the attention seeking and “clues” are annoying.
No other working royal behaves like this in any country in public, during a work event.
You never see the Denmark royalty doing any of the stuff Kate has been doing lately.
I’m actually a bit embarrassed for the military people involved in these events when Kate acts so goofy. It is considered an honor in their careers to be chosen at official events. And here comes Kate playing grab arse in public. She knows she is getting attention for it and that is exactly what she wants.
Maybe William should insist she not attend, bench her for 3 months. LOL.
No work for 3 months? She’d be ecstatic.
While they pilloried Meghan for holding her husband’s hand. Jesus Christ. And is it just me or do Will and Kate look increasingly aged and bored?
The hand placements are for cameras only. And they’re as frozen and stiff as they look.
Can’t see that she’s grabbing W’s bum. Looks more like a touch to his waist/lower waist to me, as if she’s getting his attention. The dynamic there would be someone who’s reminding him of, or drawing his attention, to something. My suspicion is that she spends a great deal of time telling him what comes next, as though he’s bored rigid and can’t be bothered to keep up. He does look bored, always.
Yes Sparrow I agree with you .
I don’t like Kate , but William looks out of it and she seems to be encouraging him what to do .
Cassie, I don’t think William looks out of it. Part of it is boredom and part was his ‘solemn’ face.
Wails is not his mother regardless of how the bm recently tried to portray her. This is quite the narrative that she and Ma Mids is going for.
She’s deliberately putting her hand lower than it needs to be. That’s a choice while in Churches and at brf events. This just makes her appear quite crass.
Her antics only make my suspicions about him planning to ditch her soon grow! Have we heard anything about when/if he will be crowned POW?? I’m thinking HE asked chuck to delay until he gets rid of her. She’s acting desperate for a reason. The first reaction should’ve stopped this behavior but her continued touching him knowing he’s displeased means she’s likely planning ahead to play the sympathy card (emotionally neglected/abused wife)
How does this”PDAss pat” and flirting with with Federer prove Richard Kay’s recent assertion that PoWs have a “uniquely happy marriage”? Was this a misprint for uniquely horrible?
I saw this earlier this morning on the Daily Mail. It looked like Kate’s hand was more on his side/hip. Without thinking, I find myself touching my husband in the same place when I walk by him or stand close. I feel like William hates to be touched – look at how cold his family is. He isn’t used to it. I don’t know – I feel like everyone is making a big deal out of this in order to project on their marriage….and I say that as someone who loves to speculate, hah. Here’s a link where they look like they’re genuinely smiling at each other:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-12270651/Royal-polo-WAG-Kate-looks-dazzling-joins-Prince-William-cheer-match.html
Who knows.
NMB, I never click on any of the tabloids. What I firmly believe is that Wails putting her hand that far down is a deliberate choice. If you look at the picture, you will see that she easily could have put her hand on his back. The fact this is the third time it’s happened says that she’s doing this deliberately.
Maybe this is her divorce negotiation strategy, she wants a big house, her parents debts paid off and more money than Diana got. She going to keep grabbing his a – – in public until she gets what she wants.
Don’t see this as Kate trying for PDA’s. I think Kate is totally taunting William about his pegging which jibes with her mean girl character. It makes you wonder how nasty things are behind the scenes.
The question on my mind, is, how were the con-artists aka The Middletons allowed to get so close to William? I understand that Carole basically blackmailed him into marriage on account of the load of dirt they had on him. Gary Goldsmith is on record as saying he can’t wait to get his foot in palace doors
I think you’ll find The Queen and Prince Philip were very concerned at the association and did their best to encourage W to look elsewhere.
It’s not on his bum but lower back. Come on people
it’s clearly sexual assault
I never thought the day would come when I would ever defend pegg the incandescent. However I wish he would turn to her and shout out for all to hear , woman , how many times do I have to tell you to leave me and my rear the f alone ?
If you want your husband’s attention in church for a quick chat, tap his waist not his backside Catherine.
I find it odd because usually she is quite poised and correct at these events, or at least she has been in the past. She does that RF calm hauteur well. So this is really out of left field.
Her hand is nowhere near his ass and even if it WERE lower there is literally no chance she grabbed some ass through that prissy ass robe thing — I get that it’s a slow news day but come on.
Either way , whatever touching Kate’s doing , and if William welcomes it(didn’t seem he was thrilled). That’s the big difference.
I saw the interactions between WK at the polo match today so I’m awaiting Kaiser’s blog and everyone’s comments on that one tomorrow 😊. IMO their cheek to cheek kiss gives a TBT to Diana/Charles vibes and look how that marriage turned out.
William has been pushing away her attempts to touch him in public more than once and just because she didn’t squeeze his ass doesn’t mean she’s not repeating his boundaries. And as much of a dick he can be, if he doesn’t want to be touched by her, she shouldn’t keep doing this especially in public.
The video shows that after she touches him he turns to her and says something and she moves away.
Just because you get married does not mean that you voluntarily agree to all touching at all times. So many people here don’t understand the concept of consent or bodily autonomy at all.
And the polo example shows kate going in for a hug and he pushes her away from trying that.
Should he stop pretending and divorce her if he is this repulsed by her, yes, but her aggressive touching of him is not appropriate even if she’s not always squeezing his bum.
She also encroached Federer’s space yesterday which is why Mirka and his mother were giving looks. Kate is not a woman who respects boundaries.
I’d say she’s doing it to p*ss off whoever in reality is the female in his life. Her false smile gives her away, look at the photos afterwards of how sour her face is in repose.
😂😂😂 Paybacks are a Bitch 😂😂😂
To me they’re all a bunch of mentally disturbed people.
She’s just dying to get some tabloid to affirm the sexiness of her relationship with William, though that will never happen. Or she is baiting the other women in his life, like someone mentioned.
All I can think about when I see this is how much the British media would absolutely rip Meghan to shreds if she ever pulled a stunt like this with Harry in church. We’d hear non-stop coverage about how “disgraceful” and “vulgar” Meghan is, along with the old favorite “slap in the face” of the Queen, Charles, etc.
