Thoughts please on The Princess of Wales’ latest video and voice over about summer and actions

If one person watches and chooses to leave their four walls it
will not be pointless

“Nature is healing” - who knew? Monty Don tells us this every week on his gardening programme. People who are genuinely on struggle street aren't the ones who will be watching this twaddle. Its on a par with the Sussexes and their soft focus gushes

But they will watch Monty Don !

For once I agree with vegansrock It’s a lovely video but preaching to the converted. There’s not much natural beauty in struggle street and there’s an unmistakable whiff of ‘I’m all right, Jack’ about it all.

Having said that, I believe the Prince and Princess genuinely care about the needs of those less fortunate but these videos are pointless.

They make"silly speeches" to justify their existence - all part of the job.
Catherine's accent is the received pronunciation of the Public School system - not particularly "Royal"
The late Queen is currently having the shine knocked off her memory by the revelation that she turned a blind eye to Andrew's peccadllos.

Without the "silly speeches" Diana made, AIDS would have remained a stigma for a lot longer.

Gosh why are people so spiteful and nasty on here?It is a lovely video,nothing to complain about from me.

If she wasn't royalty, everyone would love it and see it as it is, but S she is the wife of the next in line, there will be many who will inspect every second of it in case she made a blinder than can be used in a mews article

I will be having a cancer check up and I actually found the video quite calming and soothing until the GN snipers went into action. I suppose they just can’t help themselves.

I have also been guilty as charged for not wanting to sweep it all under the carpet and pretend that it can’t possibly be a concern to some willfully ignorant posters.

I agree ... why?

I have just watched it all while basking in the sunlit hours. It is mercifully short.

No Magenta8. If Megain had produced said video she would have been in every shot throughout!! It would have been all about her - as per usual.

Yes, that was what was irritating, there was absolutely no need.

People keep comparing both young women for no reason except that they married Royal brothers.
They did this constantly with Diana and Sarah.

I agree with this. No need for the comparison at all. I also think think this post was goady.

Absolutely! I am heartily sick of hearing what Catherine and other royals think. Why don’t they just get on with what concerns them, not inflict these rather silly speeches onto us.
To me (and I was an ardent Royalist for about 75;years) to me, royalty lost its identity when our beloved Queen Elizabeth died. No-one can take her pace and shouldn’t try.
My concern with the PoW is that she will turn out like her pushy mother. And, to be honest, I also hate her false posh accent. It really grates on me. I’m sorry, but I just don’t like her or William. And don’t get me started on the rest of them!,

It will get criticism but I see a young woman here who had the shock of her life with a cancer diagnosis. Forget being Royal, she is a wife and Mum. This video tells me what is uppermost in her thoughts after such a harrowing time.

Okay, but why, even although she is the Princess of Wales is it any business of ours?

She should have the sense only to confide in near and trusted friends.

She will be getting a lot of flack by telling the whole world what it should do, surely?

My thoughts are, that whatever the Royal Family does, however hard they work, try to reach out to people, there will always be some who find fault with them.

Frankly, looking at the Republican systems around the world, I'd choose our Monarchy, whatever its faults, than any of those Presidents.

I'm so glad to be in this group. I'm in the U.S. and didn't know about the videos. I just finished watching them. The scenery was beautiful and the narration lovely. I am captivated by the Princess's
voice. I too wish her well .

Thank you for that.
Yes we love her and her family. Just ignore the fun sponges.

Many recovering from the horrors of cancer or other life taking illness find much from nature, perhaps the Princess of
Wales is sharing her experience, many find comfort, joy, peace in nature.

She will not be making money from it like some

The Princess of Wales is in the lucky position that she doesn't have to make money. She does however have the restrictions of towing the party line and it is a job she does well so I have no criticism of her. Her videos are not my cup of tea but if she is finding solace in nature after her scary time, who am I to judge.
'Some' others are in the position that they have to make money in order to live. I don't think that motive be criticised either. Once again, 'some' people's videos aren't my cup of tea either but if they put tea on the table for their family, good luck to them.

We really can't know how Meghan feels or if she is "seething". Could she be glad Catherine is better and has found some peace?

Mrs me me me MMarkle is the biggest plagiarist there is .. she copies everyone especially her sister in law and her departed mother in law when it comes to outfits .. though now she’s not on the public eye less so. Just scruffy LA style . Her lifestyle show is a copy of others .. she’s not got an original bone .. she will come up with something to counteract PoW once she’s finished seething ar the attention she’s getting compared to her ..

I enjoyed both videos, expressing we could learn a lot from nature, and find comfort in it. There is nothing offensive in either of them, something to be thankful for in this day and age.

Parsley3........I think she should be more mindful of the many thousands of women who do not have access to everything she has access to. It's offensive to those that have to live with less than nothing.

But isn't the point that Nature is free - in all the ordinary things around us?

Precisely!!

Ps, even in a city there are parks so there is access to green spaces for all.

I don't know who the message in this video is meant to be for earthmother but I can understand why you may find it offensive. I am just bemused as to why it has been made at all. There is no need for Catherine to take on the role of social media personality in addition to her royal duties.
