Surely a wind up

Why does everyone have to bitch all the time. I think it frequently is a hard job. The royal family do spend a lot of time standing on their feet and walking around, in those incredibly uncomfortable shoes, wearing clothes stuck on them like paper dolls while the press scrutinise every inch of them for any variation from planet perfect.

Visiting worthy cause after worthy cause, happy smiles stuck on their faces, showing an interest, talking to a hundred different people in a day. Having deep meaning about your private and personal life drawn from the slightest gesture you make, then finding long stories about your life made up and published in newspapers. Always surrounded by people and unable to step out of the house without a policemana foot behind you.Even your family tragedies get spread and round and you get looked at to decide how much you are grieving, how unhappy you are. You cannot even drive off and have a good howl in the car because there will be a policemen in the back seat. No thank you.

Personally I wouldn't do their job for 10 times whatever it is they get

True, it’s not all roses round the door is it?

It'd be a bloody boring forum otherwise.
"I just adore the royals!"
"Oh, me too..."
"Mary Berry: now there's the kinda woman I'd like to be!"
"Oh, and me too..."
There wouldn't be much to chat about if we all had exactly the same mindset.

Missadventure. I do not ascribe to any of the sentiments you list. But this thread has been just as boring and repetitive in the other direction.

I just think that whatever the subject of a thread when real people are involved they should at least be treated with respect, whether you like them or not or share their opinions or not.

I don't think there is anything particularly disrespectful in what has been posted here.

We have different ideas of respect.

Obviously.

I hope that Kate's attendance brought some much-needed attention to this neglected area of mental health.

There!

Now you can go and put your aching feet up, Kate, and have someone to come and massage your them

What?
gobbledegook.

Massage them.

The Mail are very solicitous to Kate now that Meghan is coming in to draw their nasty barbs.

It's a bloody awful publication.

Well said Monica, as I have said before they do at least put being who they are to good use.
