it turns out that the publicity shy couple were so keen on privacy that they didnt even want the £38 million wedding we were forced into paying for them, blimey, they could have said something earlier, like before the public coughed up a fortune for security, A list celeb guests and more melodrama than an x factor sob story, they are now claiming they wanted none of that because " it didnt feel like their day ", but they went through it anyway, bless em. They told Oprah that they actually had a private exchange of vows three days before, just the two of them were present as well as the archbishop of canterbury - perfectly normal behaviour, , now that they have aired all their laundry in public to the whole world, they are off to work on that private life they claim to crave, At least until the next big interview comes up

It was indeed a sensitive portrayal of the Duchess of Kent.
What grieves me now, as it did then, is to see what a lonely and sad view of her at Harry's wedding.
I have no problem with the trainers, if that gives her reassurance in walking, then great.
But why, oh why, could not someone from the Royal family not take her arm and lead her to her seat with dignity? Not a member of the Royal household, I presume, who did?
There's enough youngsters to step up to the plate?‍♀️

First thing my mother would've said to us - 'Just make sure someone looks after Auntie Ethel at the service'!

Can I ask what the title of the programme was on Channel 5? I can't seem to find it on Catch up TV.

Anniebach Sun 21-Nov-21 13:07:16

It isn’t on Catch Up

Grayling Sun 21-Nov-21 13:23:28

That's annoying Anniebach! I have read quite a bit about her and she has led an interesting life and would seem to have found peace and happiness in it.

Weren't her children there? I'd have thought she'd be with them so maybe not.

It was on channel 5, The Compassionate Duchess. I think you can watch it on My5.

theworriedwell Sun 21-Nov-21 15:00:17

Yes just tried it, it is on My5. If you can't get it on your tv you can do it on the computer.

Anniebach Sun 21-Nov-21 15:48:09

I couldn’t get it on my tv , thump

theworriedwell Sun 21-Nov-21 16:04:34

Can you get My5? If you can it is in the documentaries section. If not do it on the computer, I tried earlier and it was the first thing in their documentaries section. I'll go back and get a link if it helps.

theworriedwell Sun 21-Nov-21 16:06:01

This is the link www.channel5.com/show/katharine-the-compassionate-duchess

Just scroll down and you will see a box that says Watch Now.

Hope that helps.

theworriedwell Sun 21-Nov-21 16:08:21

It says it is available till April 2026 so no hurry. grin

Interestingly I just typed lust and it turned it into pist.?

Peasblossom - are you pist? grin

Peasblossom Sun 21-Nov-21 17:15:28

Really ? Do we know that for a fact ? That they weren’t invited ?

Anniebach Mon 22-Nov-21 09:04:35

Perhaps they all chose not to attend

Prince Harry's second cousins-once-removed and third cousins not at his wedding shock.
