The family firm.

I commented that the teacher , manager (or whoever she was) curtseyed . No condemnation whatsoever

Except nobody curtseyed Gillybob .

gilly. ? This is a question mark agree ?

So, ‘perhaps you don’t do eye contact with little ones? ‘ is a question is it not ?

You say she didn’t curtsy, I say she did . Hardly condemnation is it ?

Do you start a genuine question with the word perhaps ? how would one answer ?

This is silly and I am really not bored enough to continue.

Off to clean the women’s loo which I am sure K will NEVER have to do ! ?

Kate may have an entourage of helpers but she doesn't have the freedom to come on here and debate the endless criticism of her family. At least you all have the freedom to be as nasty or nice as you like! It seems a shame that you can't just look at a picture of a little girl starting school with kind thoughts.

Charlotte and George look cute but I am a bit worried that Charlotte’s hair is scraped back so tight. It must be uncomfortable and also putting pressure on the roots.

Meghan has absolutely not had racist abuse levelled at her, that old chestnut is wheeled out far too often. The reason Kate is preferred is because she knows how to behave, tries where she can to live a normal life (has been seen shopping in Waitrose and other shops, eating in the local pub, playing with her children.) In other words, doing exactly what normal people do. She has never put a foot wrong, does not cut off her parents, does not have only one family member at her wedding, gives the public glimpses of her children whilst trying to protect them from too much exposure, travels on commercial flights including Flybe, does not demand the Queen treats her differently, tries her best to fit in, accepts that having married into royalty there are compromises to be made, does everything expected of a future queen ie goes to Balmoral when asked, etc etc etc. Meghan does not understand how royalty operates, she seems to think it’s much the same as being a celebrity. Thankfully she will become increasingly irrelevant as time goes on.

Well said Maddyone.

Well I like Katherine anyway!!!
Not at all sure about the other one though- I suspect she will be trouble in time!!

I think the Cambridges are doing a great job, seemingly trying to be like any other couple taking their child to the first day at School.
I would hate to be in their shoes being scrutinised every moment they appear in public,can never relax,always being critisised,not the least by some GN,s.
I feel so sorry for her Majesty the Queen this weekend having to put up with Boris! sorry nothing to do with this thread but had to mention it.

Not slim more painfully thin

Gilly watched the video and agree with you.?

The lady who welcomed the children, shook each child by the hand and made what very much looked like a little curtesy??

Why would she curtsy to the 4th in line to the throne but not to the 2nd in line to the throne?

gilly I doubt she had to clean ladies loos, I doubt she had to
remove soiled sanitary pads from behind radiators as I did when working in a girls school, did you ?

I hate how they are damned if they do and damned if they don't.
If she had turned up with her hair a mess because she had been stressed she would have been called a slob and lazy, so because she looks good she isn't a real mum!!!
I'm quite sure she helped her children get ready and even packed their bags for them and their lunch for their first day.
People should just leave her alone or we will have another front row seat to a Diana scenario!

Not really bothered what any of them do!!
Let them all get on with life.

Atheistic Republican here..... can’t believe we are still debating these useless ‘two establishments’ years after they should have both ‘bitten the dust’. Having a laugh though!

Thats the response people always make......I do not see why we give these people a life of privilege anymore.
We do know that their blood is not blue and they were not chosen by God!
I might be better off if we had a kinder Govt. The money saved form the Royals could be used for Police Officers and Firemen...not to mention Nurses paid a decent wage.
And all the other underpaid workers.
Time for more equality again.

Paperbackwriter. Congratulations. Perfect post. Racism is a particularly nasty form of bullying, and bullying is what the Sussexes are on the end of.

Hiw right you are.
Kate must have taken her turn at cleaning everything when she shared a flat at St Andews and later in London with two friends.
She's no stranger to a toilet brush.

Hiw How

The Sussexes are not victims of racism, what a lot of drivel!

They are guilty of double standards, by telling us, the plebs what to do whilst doing the complete opposite themselves, they are are guilty of acting like celebrities rather than royals (there is a big difference) they are guilty of treating Meghan’s father with absolute cruelty, they are guilty of obscene spending, even by the standards of royalty, and they are guilty of showing complete distain to the institution of the monarchy. The people have realised that Meghan is all about show and celebrity, and is an extremely shallow person, based on her behaviour.

I find it hard to credit gillybob that you can’t distinguish a sort of semi-crouch from a curtsey. If the Head had been in curtseying mode she would have done so to both William and Kate. As it was, her feet and knees remained together and she bent both knees to bring her head down to the children’s level.
You don’t have to be the Dowager Countess of Grantham to know that is not how a person curtseys!

Have you ever thought of the alternative? A President elected from that rabble in Westminster !

nanamac I asked the same question, no suggestions yet

The reason for not going to Balmoral is probably because Meghan is flying to New York today to watch Serena Williams play in the US open. She's flying with a commercial airline.

Hasty cancellation of private jet??
