You know, if I had the capacity to understand this comment I think I might be offended.

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE, YOU GUYS

Seriously, what the hell is this? She’s the mother to a newborn. In any civilized country she’d still be on maternity leave. If she makes any public appearances right now whatsoever, they’re already above and beyond the call of what she should be doing.

And then there’s Princess Beatrice, who has already taken 10 luxury vacations in 2015 alone. Who supports Beatrice’s lifestyle? Oh, but wait, she’s a blood royal, so she’s excused.

If calling you a “weird person” constitutes a personal attack, then yes. I do find your obsession with Kate on this particular day and excusing everyone else is well, weird.

I was under the distinct impression that attending an event or two a week and raising the heir and the spare was, quite literally, her total job description. This thread is weird, that person is weird. Everyone else was excused that day as having “real” events but not Kate. K.

Yes, it was an important event, but again, we don’t know what she was doing and she doesn’t really owe us an explanation for every decision she makes. For all we know she had a follow-up obgyn appointment, but that’s none of our business.

She doesn’t live off taxpayer money, so it’s not taking anything away from you.

So it’s completely fine for the rest of the family to have engagements except for Kate? She wasn’t even born into the family, she married into it. The public doesn’t own her. She has insane amounts of demand on her time in addition to having a family, so yeah, if she likes tennis and wanted to enjoy herself for a…

Are you equally upset at every other member of the royal family who also did not attend and did nothing else that day?

Oh come on. If she’d gone to the memorial then all the attention would have been on her and what she was wearing and then she’d be dinged for taking attention away from the real issue. She can’t win no matter what she does.

Oh, please. We don’t know if she had something else going on that day or if she didn’t want to leave her kids for some reason. She’s allowed to have a life. William went to it, so it’s not like they thumbed their noses at it.

They really do. I’m from the Republic of Ireland so am hardly a Royalist but I don’t understand the hate towards them (again, not a UK citizen and not affected by a monarchy so maybe it’s easier for me to like them? I dunno, I dunno). I like them. They seem to love and fancy each other which is lovely. It’s like, I…

I agree but her executive power is very limited so she is not really our leader we picked our leader in the election and we picked wrongly , she is just a figure head.

“I'm Backtatman"

As a Moroccan by origin myself it’s worth noting that there is widespread racism in Morocco towards what are perceived as blacks - the word for blacks and slaves is the same one, Abeed. In fact, there is still slavery in Mauritania on racial lines, and possibly some in Morocco too. This girl looks a lot like my…

It is SO short sighted.

I really hope a gif of it starts popping up in the comments here. The disdain on their faces is just too perfect. :D
