I can't stand Kate Middleton

It's nothing personal but I hate the way she's seen as a role model when she's done NOTHING much with herself other than marrying royalty.
People say she has dignity etc but that's crap talk. Any fool can do her nominal duties with a smile....

Jealous perhaps?
Just ignore her if you dont like her, or complain to the media.
She looks like she could do with a few dinners though
Lets just hope nobody ****ing kills her. The daily mail will never let us forget it.
Stayed grounded, married a Prince and will no doubt develop over the years into a role model.
Yes, I can see your point OP.
But it doesn't matter. Prince William obviously thinks she looks great, and he's a young man who could have chosen from many beautiful women. No one else's opinion matters in the slightest.:p
Graduating from uni isn't much of a feat considering her upbringing. She's never held a job other than a part time role at her parent's company (token...)
Kate hasn't been tested in life, and never will barring the chance of them splitting up.
So it's her fault that her parents made it in life?

Kate's mother founded her own mail-order party goods company, with ambitions of sending her children to private schools. The business was a surprise success,
'As a result of this new-found income, Kate and her siblings didn't want for much. Kate attended exclusive boarding schools, including St. Andrew's Prep School, Down House, and Marlborough College. But her time in boarding school did not come without its conflicts. Kate left the exclusive Down House all-girls boarding school at the age of 13, due to bullying and taunts from other students there. And on her first day at co-ed Marlborough, some particularly mean-spirited boys began rating incoming students based on attractiveness and personality. They gave Kate a two out of 10. Despite the initial setbacks, however, Kate did well in her studies, passing 11 GCSEs and three A-level exams.
In 2001, Middleton became a student at the University of St Andrews in Fife, Scotland—the first in her family to attend college'.
Personally I think she did pretty well considering the above.
Jealous, much.
Face the truth, some people are lucky.
You aren't.
I was defending the girl you fool.
Exlordlucan is on Kate's side... He's not being jealous.
I just can't see how Kate can possibly be a role model. For me, a role model is somebody who has coped with adversity and faced tests in life. Kate doesn't match that criteria. As I've said I don't dislike her personally.
Kate has pretty much towed the line and done nothing courageous worhty of being a role model.
I read that as a piss-take. A sycophantic romantic illusion.
Must say, she's gone up in my estimation after reading that.
I never really held it against her that she had an easy life but I just assumed she was one of those aristo's who was just spinning her wheels until she latch onto a suitable politician/businessman/lord to marry.
Lordy, I bet anybody who criticised her attractiveness is kicking themselves now.
The same could easily have been said about Diana when she was a child minder but she figured out how to leverage her status and get over a million landmines shifted.
The thing is that she's not putting herself out to be a role model it's the media so if anything you should question them and not her education and upbringing, it's not her fault (it's not even a fault anyway) and for you to say you can't stand her is unfair IMO.
Myself I see no wrong, or even harm, in her being described as one because I'd rather young girls aspire to be like her than some of the creatures they follow today.
I bet they are too, I know i would be if I were one of them
she also very pretty and always looks lovely
Her public 'role' only began once she married Prince William.
I think she's doing okay. As long as she turns up to what she's meant to, smiles and looks happy and is interested in being there and manages to support a few charities then she's fulfilling her role.
I'd make a show of myself in her position. I'm sure I'd throw the odd few strops and be caught on camera doing so. I'd look awful in pictures and probably be caught picking my nose or scratching me bum - totally undignified. I'd probably make an off-the-cuff remark about someone and it would be picked up by the microphones and would cause an international public relations disaster. I certainly couldn't smile and continuously look as though I'm in love with my husband (I'd feel the need to be sectioned).
All in all I do think it's hard to have her role and wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. So to do it with dignity, calmness and patience is a pretty good effort. Especially as you know most of the camera people there live in hope of her doing something wrong. So she is a good role model in that respect, in my opinion.
I'm not a Royalist I'll add.
You'd rather young girls aspire to marry into wealth?
Kate is a very shrewd operator.
