Prince William made a remark when a Glaswegian called Kate ‘beautiful’

From what I can tell, Prince William traveled to Scotland on Wednesday to do his “unannounced” events in Leith solo. Then he spent the night somewhere in Scotland and met up with the Princess of Wales on Thursday, when Kate flew into Scotland via a private jet. Interesting about how little conversation there is about that private jet usage, especially given that William certainly “preaches woke environmentalism,” at least that’s the excuse the British media makes when they go apesh-t about Harry and Meghan traveling by private jet.

Anyway, William was on the tarmac, waiting for her in the car, and they were driven to the HMS Glasgow event together, in the same car. He had probably only spent less than an hour with his wife in the preceding 48 hours, but that was enough for William to be visibly annoyed with her. He looked tense and I would imagine that he didn’t enjoy participating in a ceremony where Kate was tasked with doing something. Something like “making a two sentence speech and pushing a button.” Like, they couldn’t send Kate to do that on her own, William had to act as her handler. Anyway, according to People, someone in the crowd called out to Kate, and William made a remark.

Kate Middleton and Prince William charmed well-wishers in Scotland, where the Prince of Wales had a surprise response to a quick compliment. The Prince and Princess of Wales attended the official ship naming of the HMS Glasgow on May 22. As the Royal Navy ship’s sponsor, Princess Kate, 43, gave a short speech and released a bottle of whisky, which broke against the ship’s hull in a christening tradition.

A video shared on Instagram captured the scene as the couple passed some fans who had gathered to catch a glimpse of the action. One shouted out to Kate, “You’re beautiful,” before quickly adding, “You too, William!”

The comment prompted laughs from the pair, and Prince William had a quip that made the crowd giggle in response: “You don’t have to say that. Don’t worry.”

The Prince of Wales, 42, then placed a hand on his wife’s arm as they headed off.

In another funny moment from the outing, the Prince and Princess of Wales took part in a mini competition in pipe-building. But just as Kate was being declared the winner, her mechanism fell apart, prompting laughs from both of them.

[From People]

At first, I thought this was William doing another oh-so-charming eyeroll at the ol’ ball-and-chain, but People Mag makes it clear that he was trying to tell the person not to compliment him. And it’s true, William is not beautiful and no one should say he is! Anyway, what else to say? Obviously, Kate’s outfit was an “homage” to something Diana wore back in the day. I’ve gotten so used to Kate’s Diana copykeening, it barely even registers anymore. If Kate isn’t copying her mother-in-law, she’s copying her sister-in-law. I will say this – Diana’s outfit reads as a power suit, while Kate’s Suzannah London suit looked more like a stewardess’s uniform. That being said, I do like the clean lines of the Suzannah dress.

    “Speech” is doing some heavy lifting.

    2 sentences that she couldn’t be bothered to memorize does not a speech make.

    • Me at home says:

      Right? She could have added a few chatty lines about how excited she is to be here after it was announced she was the ship’s patron eight years ago. And it’s not raining, what a great day for this! And how much we should all appreciate the servicemen who will serve on the ship. Really basic stuff.

      • Christine says:

        Exactly, she had the beautiful weather RIGHT THERE to mention. I don’t understand how she’s been with William for over two decades, and this is all she can do. THIS is her being a giant success.

    • MY3CENTS says:

      By that logic a kindergarten play is nothing short of Shakespeare.

    • Blogger says:

      😂 they keep on infantilising the Lazy Duchess.

      Well done ma’am!

      Superb speech ma’am!

      Best ever words ma’am!

      You are an inspiration to us all ma’am!

      GUAFB 😂

    • BeanieBean says:

      Seriously, shame on them for calling that a speech! I know it’s a gossip rag & not a source of news, but still. Don’t lie to your readers! And enough with the ‘oh, William is so funny’ nonsense. He is not. Stop encouraging him.

      Also, why do they always give these two little projects to do at these things? Little arts & crafts projects as though they were children. I don’t recall this sort of thing for Diana & Charles when they showed up for things. They met people & talked with them, they didn’t need to get out the paper & scissors & glue, or in this case, little tinker toy pipe set.

  2. LADY DIGBY says:

    Both Nigel Farage and Kate favour the full mouth agape at public events which makes them seem easily pleased with themselves! {That’s mot the only thing they have in common, is it?}

    • Me at home says:

      Like many people, she looks cross with her mouth closed (RBF). Unlike many people, she really, really cares about that so she opens her mouth agape.

      That said, to me, her face is looking different in the past few outings. It looks like she’s lost even more weight, and it’s showing up in her face. There’s not an ounce of subcutaneous fat on her. These are official photos so they’ve been airbrushed, but it’s still obvious. She’s a mean girl and a racist, but someone in her family should get her help, even if letting her divorce is what it takes.people need to stop telling her how “beautiful” she looks, at the very least.

      • Becks1 says:

        A post on IG popped up in my feed yesterday from a Kate fan account and it had a picture of her from garden parties over the years – I dont think “every” garden party (unless she only does one a year?) but from 2012 to 2025 with a few missing years in there obviously. The difference in her face even from 2 years ago to now was startling, and the difference from 2012 was shocking – her face was still a little soft and round. its clear she’s lost a good deal of weight and had significant work done when you see the pictures side by side.

        and then just from 2023 to now was significant – she definitely looks unwell, for whatever reason.

      • TigerMcQueen says:

        Her face really is gaunt, isn’t it? It’s quite something to see.

      • wendy says:

        How does one reconcile “get her help” with “stop telling her she’s beautiful.”

        It is entirely possible, likely even, that she has had cancer and treatment this year despite the fact that there aren’t enough details to satisfy the gossip machine — she does look like she’s been through the wringer and it has aged her.

      • Jais says:

        She has said publicly that she had finished her treatments. Is she lying? Maybe. I don’t think she is lying about that though. I’m not going to presume she is still having cancer treatments just based on her appearance. That said, if her health is suffering for any reason, which it may be, I wish her good health fr.

      • wendy says:

        @Jais
        I can’t speak to Kate and her specific treatment — I can tell you that my husband wears the wear and tear from chemo/radiation regime on his face, his sagging and wrinkly chin and sunken eyes and he always will. Just because she has finished treatment does not mean a miraculous return to the way things were.

      • Me at home says:

        @Wendy, I take your point, and I’d hate to disparage the looks of a cancer patient. But I referred to “the past few outings” for a reason, because the change seems quite recent. She looked so much better just a few months ago, at Trooping and in the “I’m cancer-free” video. These were, respectively, during and immediately after, her treatment. She even looked better at her Christmas do, very thin, but her face wasn’t exhausted-looking. And the weight is a long-standing issue, starting with her marriage when she lost a lot of weight, and the trend has been down since then.

        I said to stop telling her she’s beautiful because that reinforces the idea that being underweight is ideal. Please, tell her she’s gorgeous after she gains 10 pounds.

    • ParkRunMum says:

      Lady Digby, you get my personal vote for comment of the year. 100%. Lift that trophy high! I had been wondering *why* she makes that horrid gurning guffaw now so frequently and your comment just shed a bright light. Yes, it is the Farage guffaw. The can-you-believe-I-get-away-with-this-the-crowds-love-it-even-though-my-inner-voice-is-wavering-oh-wait-is-that-my-conscience-no-it’-s-just-applause-you-see-the-roar-of-the-crowd. Even genuine sociopaths (and I’m not saying Kate is one, to be clear) have internalised a certain number of taboos and inhibitions on account of what we consider antisocial behaviour or politically incorrect opinions. High-functioning sociopaths (not saying Kate is one) are very good at keeping a game face on, they are smooth operators. Moreover, therapists have pointed out that narcissistic manipulators have a real charm and use it to mimic empathy, or to “love bomb” their targets. But even they remain relatively composed and buttoned-up in groups compared to Kate and Nigel, who simply ham it up. Why? I suspect the roar of the crowd triggers an ambivalent reaction: they are embarrassed at being cheered, because they know they don’t deserve applause; yet they crave approval. This is indeed the cognitive dissonance of the second-rate, ham-fisted, kind of provincial elevated to great acclaim, who cannot take it all in stride. It’s undignified. The Queen (Elizabeth, not her ungainly daughter in law) had a resting scowl at times that provided a minor plot point on the Crown. But she also had a buoyant, compassionate, sensible nature, and according to one close observer, “when she laughs, she laughs with her whole face.” She didn’t fake it for attention. She didn’t play to the galleries. She had too much dignity, and self-control. Does Kate look like a future queen, here, as they insist on calling her so frequently? Not to me. Diana often looks slightly unhappy, in photos, and now that we know all about her life, we know this was not aristocratic hauteur, but real personal anguish. Which, in retrospect, makes her attempt to play her role more affecting, she clearly had a sense of duty to show up and do her best not to let people down. That was a lot more compelling than being the entertainment. Which is what Kate is: a girl who spins letters on Wheel of Fortune. In a new dress and high heels. Whilst remaining mute. It’s…. Really low-rent. But it costs a packet. Ironic.

      • Blogger says:

        She continues to be low rent, elevated to FQ because Willy could not find anyone better.

        Sucks to be them.

      • BeanieBean says:

        Terrific analysis, @ParkRunMum!

      • Christine says:

        I wish someone would lay it out to her just like this. I cannot imagine QEII making this face, even to a baby/toddler, where the goal is to get a smile.

  3. ML says:

    What is it about this appearance (very brief speech, christening ship) that warranted a new outfit?

    • Smart&Messy says:

      It could have been in her closet for years, we’ll never know. The design can be anything from 1980 to 2010.

      • ML says:

        Smart&Messy, this coat dress definitely fits in her closet. I’m assuming other people are correct in saying it’s new…why suddenly at this event? It’s something she’d have had to prepare for ahead of time. It’s just odd to me that so many of her public appearances have been rewears since KC3 ascended the throne that it just stands out. What is different about this that she was allowed to purchase something new?

        I was so perplexed by the new clothing, I forgot to point out that if K took a private plane up to Scotland for a day, perhaps environmental warrior, William, did as well? They’re definitely flying back to England together–how did W arrive in Scotland?

  4. Becks1 says:

    i don’t know if i would even call that a “short speech” but you do you People.

    Are we sure that’s a new dress? I swear she’s worn it before or something really similar. Am I thinking of a black version from Remembrance day a few years ago?

    Edit – I checked on WKW and apparently it is new. It looks so familiar though!

    • Nic919 says:

      I find it wild that she can’t show up and do a brief intro and thank you without it being written down. She’s almost 15 years into this and her vaunted university education must have included a few presentations.

      We don’t see Sophie or Anne look this awkward for these brief engagements.

    • BeanieBean says:

      Because you saw it several times before on Diana, that’s why it looks so familiar. And the hat is from last year’s Trooping.

  5. Krista says:

    I had to look at her dress for a while before I realized what was wrong. No buttons! Are we officially out of the button era?

    • Jais says:

      Yep, there are no buttons! But no I have to believe they will make their comeback at some point.

    • SarahCS says:

      I was assuming it’s an old outfit of the the queen’s that Kate had adjusted to fit/emphasise how skinny she is. It’s more Liz’s style.

      • sunnyside up says:

        The late Queen was really short, there wouldn’t be enough fabric to make it long enough for Kate.

      • Christine says:

        Now that you mention it, what did they do with all of QEII’s clothes? Surely it’s not all archived for posterity. It would be nice to send some of it to an auction house, and let it raise some money for her favorite charities that no longer have her (or anyone else) as a patron.

    • Me at home says:

      I feel like the white stripe down the center provides the vertical center line, with all it’s lengthening and slimming powers, that she uses buttons for on other outfits.

  6. MsKrisTalk says:

    Harry and Meghan’s anniversary attention and Beyonce concert pictures have really broke their brains. The leftovers are showing the world that they are performance animals coming out for attention from the public. They fact that Kate can’t read a sentence without notes emphasizes the failure of the leftovers.

    • Blogger says:

      It is ironic that the Sussexes are the ones who continue to make them work 😂

      I wonder if these Lazy two can continue. They don’t have the stamina.

      • Christine says:

        I wonder the same thing. These two don’t have one full year of QEII or Charles’ schedule in them, how on earth are they supposed to keep this massive machine chugging along for decades? I can’t wait to watch how they cover the king and queen being lazy. I think it’s going to be hilarious.

  7. Libra says:

    Her jaw must be so tired. I couldn’t unhinge that far if I tried.

    • FancyPants says:

      She only has two facial expressions: wicked stepmother glare and unhinged tonsil-baring guffaw.

  8. Uralmom says:

    I didn’t zoom in to see every single feature, but I think she looks nice here. I like her outfit and I really do like her hair pulled back like that.

  9. Nellie says:

    I would be so deeply embarrassed if my face and hands did that every time I went out of the house.

  10. Jais says:

    The dress is fine. She looks fine. Very nautical. It overall just feels loooong. Would prefer a different shoe instead of the nude. Is she wearing a brooch or is it part of the dress? Anyways, it’s a very clear copy of a Diana look so they want us to make that reference. Which, sure? Here’s kate, cosplaying Diana. Again. Exciting/s.

  11. Tessa says:

    Was someone hired to compliment the keens

  12. Caitlin says:

    They’re doing such incredible, impactful work!!! (sarc)

  13. Amy Bee says:

    Where’s the press outrage that Kate flew by private jet?

    • somebody says:

      There is none because the BM doesn’t really care about the environment or the cost to taxpayers for those flights. They only care when it is H&M because they don’t see them as deserving of the privilege (especially M).

    • SussexWatcher says:

      And that she walked ahead of William in that picture above. Where are the protocol police to scream and cry and throw up about how inappropriate it is and why doesn’t she know her place and who does she think she is?!
      🙄

  14. Tessa says:

    Vacation is needed after hard work

    • Blogger says:

      Long overdue. I mean, the poor racist lazy princess, all these events in one week! She is absolutely fatigued!

    • Kat says:

      The poor pampered pet, making a speech conistinting of two sentences and having to have the strength to push a button.She will be completely exhausted after doing that.
      She badly needs another holiday, poor tired soul.

  15. Kelsey says:

    William said I know I’m busted, don’t gas me. I’m weak aab.

    • Blogger says:

      As a body language expert 😂 Willy’s legs are crossed (!!) away from her which means he dislikes her.

  16. sevenblue says:

    Wow, when I read the headline, I really expected Will to be an asshole, considering he doesn’t mind making awful jokes to people. Look at that, he can actually be nice for a moment. Kate must be pleased he didn’t embarrass her this time.

    • It Really Is You, Not Me says:

      I actually think it was a good way to respond. I mean he’s been doing this a long time. He’s going to get it right often, it’s just that we don’t tend to talk about all the times that he says the right thing in a certain situation.

      • sevenblue says:

        From what I have seen, he is bad at complimenting people. He would rather make a joke at their expense than talk nicely about them to their face. We have seen that for years. He does it to regular people, also to the actresses he is meeting at BAFTA. So, yeah, I am surprised.

      • Christine says:

        I agree, this was nice, for William.

  17. Tarte Au Citron says:

    He had an open goal there like “yes, she is, I’m so lucky” or whatever, but noooooo.

    • The Duchess says:

      He detests her. That would explain the face of thunder he had all throughout yesterday.

      • Blogger says:

        He’s trapped with her, he lost his freedom when he married her…so sucks to be him.

        Keep on incandescenting Willy!

      • It Really Is You, Not Me says:

        It’s interesting to me that when William looks like he’s in a bad mood at an event, we always assume that it’s because he has to be around Kate.
        But I have husbands of family members and friends who I hate to be around because they’re always in a crappy mood and I worry that it is something I did. I feel bad for the wives because they’re always regulating their husbands temper tantrums and smoothing it over with their kids and friends. They shouldn’t have to do that, just because their husbands are big man toddlers who can’t regulate their own moods.

        Whatever the state of W+K’s marriage, I do think that it’s a good thing to point out that sometimes the man’s general mood is the problem and not it’s not necessarily that he hates his wife.

      • sevenblue says:

        “we always assume that it’s because he has to be around Kate.”

        I think this is a go-to explanation because he looks relaxed when he is doing events with other people (Sophie) or alone. Another part, we have seen this with his parents while their marriage was crumbling. So, people assume, the history is repeating itself.

      • Christine says:

        Yeah, he smiles at Sophie, makes eye contact, and laughs at shared jokes. The difference is enormous.

  18. Eurydice says:

    I think she looks fine and like she’s settling into a matronly queen image.

    • Tessa says:

      Hopefully she won’t be queen consort for a while yet

    • Tessa says:

      Kate’s hubby’s first “action” according to bots is to remove titles and take the Sussexes out of line of succession. As much as I’d like to see Will try and fail (I doubt he can do this without causing problems to him and his family), these two are painful to watch

      • bugowa says:

        William has never said from his mouth that he will strip Harry of his titles. He does not need to do that. He will simply ignore him. The cut direct has one hell of a sting and the nobility has used that method for centuries. It gives them the results they want. It is Harry who is jumping from one interview to the other bleating that he wants reconciliation. He is now behaving like Thomas Markle

      • sunnyside up says:

        It would require an act of Parliament to take him out of the succession also to take any titles that he has. What reason does Parliament have to do that, Harry hasn’t committed an act of treason. He had the Late Queen’s permission to marry Meghan.

      • HO says:

        This bugowa person is delusional. Harry was asked about reconciliation and he responded in all instances. He’s never initiated the reconciliation conversation or narrative.

      • Tessa says:

        William would never speak directly to the press about removing titles. He has minions like knauf leak stories to the press.

      • somebody says:

        Oh yeah, being ignored by someone you are never around is a real sting. (sarcasm)

      • Caturday says:

        Given that Harry has paid will and Kate dust for years, your ‘cut direct’ comment is hilarious. Derangers really do live inside 19th century fiction.

        Wagtail willy is copying every single thing his brother does. He turns up to work visibly drunk (when he does work). Every other month he has a fabulous tan which implies overseas beach holidays on the regular.

        Those briefings about Harry ARE coming direct from him because that’s how the rota works (you may not know that). No one says anything directly to the press, they brief the rota who pass it on. That’s how the palaces have worked for decades.

        Harry does interviews for his work and his charities. People ask. He says sure because what else would he say? Yell that he hates his brother like Will does? Willy is deranged with hatred and jealousy. I love that for him.

  19. Nerd says:

    Diana’s dress would be more fitting for the occasion because of the buttons which give it a more military feel. There’s a nice concept to the dress that Kate is wearing but it lacks shape or something to it. She’s too flat and up and down in her shape and with it being so long it looks strange when she’s standing still and in motion. I saw the model in the same dress and it looked identical on her as well so I’m not sure if it’s because the dress is designed to have such a windsock shape to it or what, but it looking strange on two different women might be that the dress is basically a long tubed dress on the bodies of women who don’t have very feminine shaped bodies. I mean of course it’s okay that they have very boyish type bodies, I just think it means they have to choose their clothes accordingly. I think it might have been okay if it were a little shorter.

    People magazine should just change their name to KP magazine at this point because they try so hard to make any article about this couple seem fascinating and they are somehow the most boring royals on the planet and there are royals that I’ve never heard of, plus Edward and Sophie. She didn’t give a speech she struggled through a couple of short sentences, where she had to keep looking at her notes. She is the most incompetent person on this plant and she’s married to the second one. They are so boring and incompetent that these butt kissing articles always have to add the out of nowhere spectator who says something funny or sweet to make the event seem like they actually did something worth wild. They are all so performative and it’s become a hilarious skit at this point.

    • Tessa says:

      Diana and fergie cover stories from days gone by sold issues of people. People magazine should stop trying to make the keens happen. People had that spin off issue about mostly keen but discontinued due to lack of interest

  20. Honeybee says:

    I believe William was forced to go with Kate. And unlike other days, Kate broke the protocol, heir first. She moved first and didn’t wait for him. And while talking to people, they seemed to switch to William from kate. She still mumbles.

    She was behaving like a kid not like a diplomat or grown women. Her wide open mouth, hunched posture…. disgusting. Not an inch like a princess. Crown princess Victoria’s daughter, princess leonor of Spain have more style and manners than this women.
    She is only good (at least) for roaming around forests and talking with elders. This is definitely not her event. Can’t can not give speech, doesn’t know to interact with diplomatic and intellectual people. She is such a crap.
    Also it sounded like, she left her fake posh accent. Because usually she speak through nose. But it has changed and as usual she wasn’t articulating.
    I like her dress, hat, shoes and hair style. But in the video the dress colour and hat colour didn’t match. Two different shades. Then the shoe colour inappropriate. The hair style looks good but same as garden party, makes it boring and old.
    The helicopter ride and security costs are waste of taxpayers fund, she can not even give a speech, just 2 sentence from paper. And I haven’t seen any videos so far taken from the front of the stage.

    I saw the bottle breaking. It was fixed and made to Explode I think. It didn’t seem like hanging.

  21. Lianne says:

    ” Diana’s outfit reads as a power suit, while Kate’s Suzannah London suit looked more like a stewardess’s uniform. ”

    She’s paying homage to her mother in law AND her actual mother!

  22. Sue says:

    The photo of her making the “Gahhhh!” face whilst pushing a button just made me choke on my coffee, I laughed so suddenly.

  23. Dee says:

    Will Charlotte be stuck dressing in “a homage” to Kate’s cosplay of her late mother-in-law as well? Or will they be dressing her as a little Elizabeth with lots of brooches?

  24. minnow29 says:

    I think she looks medicated? Something with her eyes. It also might explain why she had to look at notes to read two sentences.

  25. Tessa says:

    Diana wore that outfit better.

  26. QuiteContrary says:

    Diana’s outfit actually looks more modern than Kate’s stuffy version.

    Maybe William was actually magnanimous for once because he had some of that Scottish whiskey.

    • IdlesAtCranky says:

      It seems to me, that even with the exaggerations of 80s fashion (shoulder pads for days etc) Diana’s clothes often showed a sense of humor, while remaining elegant.

      The suit shown in these pictures, for example: the broad white striping on jacket and sleeves that almost gives the effect of a cartoon jacket drawn over the real one; contrasted with a dark hem on the white skirt.

      Another example that springs to mind is the “Elvis” pearl jacket & matching gown.

      Diana didn’t get it right all the time, but she definitely developed her own style and flair that was fun to watch, and often really beautiful.

      I don’t think Can’t is entirely without a sense of humor, but she’s never managed to put any of it, or any individuality at all really, into her wardrobe.

      It’s not just the copykeening she does, either — I suspect she doesn’t really enjoy fashion, she certainly seems most comfortable in casual sport clothes. She doesn’t seem to have that instinctive feel for what works, and she’s never managed to hire anyone who does.

  27. Chaine says:

    She would look just fine in this if it wasn’t so creepily reminiscent of Diana. Surely it bothers him, the extent to which she cosplays his own mother?

  28. Tn Democrat says:

    She has a gone look in her eyes that I have only personally experienced in people with dementia or who have had strokes. Lort. Whoever told her to gape like a fish because closing her mouth makes her look old had a mean sense of humor. She cannot keep up her fake accent that is posher than QE, Charles or Willy. Her fake accent needs toned down so she can speak more comfortably and less self-consciously. She, like Willy, needs a tutor to help her with speaking in public and body language/posture. If Meghan behaved this way in public or looked like this, the rota screaming would be heard across the Atlantic.

    • April Valentine-Tuttle says:

      Wasn’t that the rumor when she was missing? A Spanish tabloid said she’d had a stroke during the mystery abdominal surgery?

  29. Over it says:

    For a man who gets paid millions a year for doing f all, he is always so sour looking. Like man the f up and grow the f up and while you are at it wank , pull your head out of your you know what.

    • KoRAR says:

      Error!

      William DOES NOT EARN money!
      William GETS money!
      He used to get it from his father, who got it from the state.

      Now he gets it from the Duchy of Cornwall, which is state-owned and includes wealth spread over 500 km2, which instead of going to the budget, finances the luxurious lifestyle of the slacker prince and his lazy wife.

  30. Scamuppet says:

    She’s walking ahead of him. Isn’t that a protocol breach?

  31. Plums says:

    Has Kate always had prominent tongue ties and I’m just now noticing it after she’s been a public figure my whole adult life?

      That is why we always get photos of her, rather than videos of her speeches. She was always bad at public speaking. It seems like she did nothing to improve all these years while she has all the resources at her disposal. I remember that Diana was also not very good at public speaking, she got lessons for it and got much better.

        Lmao I take your point but I was referring to physical, literal tongue ties. Like the anatomical variety. Zoom in on the manic yawning photo.

        @Plums, 😭😭 what, that is so funny. But, I don’t think that is what I am seeing. Doesn’t tongue tie appear under your tongue? I think, it is saliva looking like that.

        Diana outdid Kate. Even before Diana got public speaking lessons.

        Diana learned some Welsh phrases and gave a speech. during her visit to Wales with Charles. She was barely out of her teens. Kate never improved her speech.but has the fake posh accent

    I take the “You’re beautiful too William’ quip a natural understanding by the fan that it means death for an English princess to overshadow her prince.

      Ditto

      It’s mind-boggling that William and Charles – the heir and the king – are SO small and insecure that their spouses can “overshadow” them and drive them to jealous lengths. Their unhappiness and insecurity are so unattractive and really difficult to observe.

      You’d think they’d have enough self awareness to know how awful and pathetic they really look.🤷🏾‍♀️

    @plums that is her spit strings in her mouth 💀 tongue ties are under the tongue. Hilarious that those weren’t edited out

    These two need therapy, period.
    And coaches to give them lessons on how to be King and Queen with some skill.

      When William was at Eton he often walked over to have tea with the Queen while she tutored him on kingly behavior. Wonder what happened.
