@Islablonde@Canellelabelle And that says so much about Jack Whitehall who never appealed to me, as a comedian (?!) and certainly not as a celeb!
Far too fond of himself.
Royal biographer Catherine Mayer discussed the Princess of Wales' ability to remain a mystique in the public eye writing: "Kate's best and only defense—and an uncommon skill, at which she has excelled—is to hide in plain sight. She is one of the most photographed and talked-about women in the world, yet we know remarkably little about her."🔥
"[...] In Kate, William had found a partner as wary as he, private by instinct."❤️
Brilliant assessment indeed. Both Catherine and William are individually reserved by nature and have built a very strong and private marriage in the bullseye of public life👌🏾
Catherine's ability to remain an enigma after 2 decades under the relentless royal spotlight is all the more remarkable, that even William admitted that, despite dating her for 8 years and being her husband for an additional 15 years, he continues to discover new facets of her, like the fact that she could speak some Italian😍
So what does that say about Catherine?
That she is a highly disciplined and intelligent woman, who plays her cards very close to the chest, and is very deliberate in what she allows to filter out and what she chooses to keep to herself.
But in order to achieve the high level of privacy Catherine has accomplished in this digital era, she had to rely on an entire entourage to support her as well🔥
Indeed, someone can be private, but if their family or entourage are "leakers", then they will never be able to achieve true privacy.
In Catherine's case, she has built a fortress of privacy around herself, that is impenetrable and shields her effectively.
• She is very private herself;
• William, her husband, is a very private man who is very protective of her and their family;
•The Middletons, her family, are a very tight knit private family;
• Her friends are very private and protective of her as well, so private that we do not even know the identity of most of those friends;
• Finally her staff is very loyal to her as well.
Therefore, when all the informed people who normally can provide information about someone are silent, there can be no information leaked about that person🤷🏽♀️
That leaves only one avenue to get dirt: the Men she ever dated; but in Catherine's case, that is another dead end.
In her teenage life, Catherine was linked to 2 boys in Malborough, her first ever boyfriend, Willem Marx with whom she remained on good terms and who was invited to her 2011 Royal wedding; and Harry Blakelock who broke her heart and was never heard of again. None of them has ever spoken about her.
Then, at university, she was linked to Rupert Finch, during her freshmen year, and dated him for almost a year before her friendship with William evolved into a beautiful Royal love story that changed the course of history❤️
When the Media tried to press Rupert for information about Catherine, Rupert shut them down saying once: “It’s not something I’ll ever talk about. It’s between Kate and me and was a long time ago.”
Rupert was also in attendance at her 2011 wedding to William and Catherine attended his wedding in 2012 to Natasha Rufus Issac, with whom she remain a good friend.
Therefore, short of making up stories, the media has no way of getting reliable information on Catherine when no one, past or present, is talking🤷🏽♀️
Well and so, when One understands how hard Catherine has worked to barricade her life in Privacy at all levels, One realises that she was NEVER going to get along with Meghan and was never going to ever offer her friendship.
By Nature, both women are at the polar opposite of each other. Catherine cultivate a tight circle of privacy by instinct; Meghan is an attention-seeker by nature.
One is silence, the other is noise.
The Latter will always be detrimental to the former, because while Catherine's nature would have been to keep Meghan's secrets, Meghan's nature would be to sell Catherine's secrets for attention; they could never build a friendship🤷🏽♀️
Therefore, Prince William and Catherine do not make "new friends" or allow any newcomer in their circle.They have an old circle of friends that is vetted as trustworthy and that they maintain through their lives.
In the event that one should be found to betray their trust, then regardless if they were family or friend, they would be neatly cut out of their lives while the circle tightens itself as if they were never there to start with. That is exactly what happened to Harry☕️

It was just last year, that Prince William was invited to give an articulated and informed speech at the london climate week, at COP26 in Rio de Janeiro and the Blue Economy and Finance Forum in Monaco as President and founder of the Earthshot prize👌🏽
In Rio de Janeiro last year, he also gave another speech as the United for Wildlife summit as President and founder of the United for Wildlife and discussed the work done by UFW in toward that goal.
Today, Prince William was invited to speak on the Innovation to Impact panel at the Olympia London Tech Week, as founder and presdident of Homewards UK, to discuss how data and technology help in preventing homelessness, alongside some of the world’s leading tech voices👌🏽
Well then, when William talks about "his work", this is his actual work OUTSIDE of being a royal. This is his professional curriculum, those 3 national and international projects that he runs successfully.
And that is why it is very ignorant to compare him to other senior royals such as his Princess Anne and call him "workshy" because he does not do as many royal engagements as her.
ALL Princess Anne does as work are royal engagements. However, royal engagements are NOT all William does as work🔥
On top of his royal duties and responsibilities as Heir, on top of his patronages that are common to other working royals, William has a singular professional life as Presiding over these three core initiatives, Earthshot prize, UFW and Homewards UK;
He also has his responsibilities as Duke of Cornwall to run the billion pound duchy with all the problems to solve;
Put that in perspective and you realise that there is a great deal of work that goes behind running all these successfully, hundreds and hundreds of employees to manage, many meetings to attend, investors to meet, innovations to keep abreast off, and numerous problems arising in all directions..🔥
Yet where Most men in his position would focus on work and neglect the family side, William has found the perfect balance where he built his busy work schedule around his children's schedule, so he can still be a present as a father and do the home school runs with his wife, and take his children on holidays as well.
He also make time to enjoy some downtime with his mates and watch an Aston Villa football game.🤗
This does not describe a man who is "lazy" or "workshy". This is rather the protrait of a very disciplined, organised and intelligent man, who knows how to effectively prioritise in life so he can get everything done well and successfully. And that is the credibility that he has on the world stage🔥

Highly suspicious just days before Trooping The Colour, Harry has now decided he wants his family back & has regrets? Sorry I call bullshit. More likely he's getting desperate, as his emotional blackmail using his children hasn't worked & Daddy still isn't picking up his calls.
🚨BREAKING: Sir Malcolm Walker, founder of Iceland supermarket, has come out to say "two-tier policing exists," revealing police arrived instantly to one of his stores after a fake accusation of racism, but didn't attend when staff were seriously hurt by shoplifters
Shocking.
The same police force who handcuffed Henry Nowak and called him a liar as he died, did this to the people protesting it.
Nobody can say there's no two tier policing and judiciary in the UK.
The whole world sees it.
Thomas Paine Hotel in Thetford refused to take a single illegal migrant.
The owners stood firm and said no to the taxpayer-funded migrant gravy train.
It’s a beautiful, traditional British hotel — and it deserves all the support it can get.
Well done to them for putting British people first. Give them your business. 🇬🇧

Since Harry & Meghan are trending, it would be a good reminder of the people they aligned with, and are still aligned to since 2016. Never forget the harm Harry & Meghan caused to so many of us for speaking and using our voices.
Climate Hoax

Megxit is a lie.
You both should be sued.
