I am so glad for Kate! The whole country has been waiting for this news since their wedding. I am dreading though seeing headlines like:
KATE STAYS FASHIONABLE EVEN WHEN PREGNANT
Everyday for the next nine months! I'm glad she's having a baby but the media is now focusing on her even more than they were. I do feel sorry for her sometimes, she is a little like a show pony... People are always watching her, more than they ever watched William or Harry.
From reading this thread, you guys are really interested in the royal family lol. No, she is no longer called Kate Middleton, but the media and public still call her that and will do for the unforeseeable future. This happens in the UK too, and no one here really calls her the Duchess of Cambridge very often.
And as for the fact that many of you think Kate's achievements are not very good and she is not necessarily deserving, none of us can really make a judgement because we do not know her personally. However I do think now, as William's wife she is working extremely hard. Her life is filled up with obligations and schedules Monday to Sunday. She has given up so much to marry into the royal family.
If you want to moan about someone royal it should be Beatrice and Eugenie. They do NO royal duties or service and get many royal perks. They have just been ordered to pay £20,000 rent a year for their home in an expensive part of London (their father is footing the bill... And I wonder where he got his money from
) yet average rent for a property of that size and in that area typically costs £100,000 to £150,000 in rent a year. Ugh.
In stark contrast, Kate is IMHO fully worthy of the perks she now receives since she is working flat out and no longer has any privacy.
