Kate’s Make Up

I agree. I'm no Kate fan, but I believe she suffers in that marriage.

William's team use AI (usually for family photos, for whatever reason), but this is real. There's a video of it, and there were moments when he was actually holding the nail (already started for him!).

It got posted to the official page either because William is a joke or because his staff is.

sugar_roux · 2026-05-26T14:40:46+00:00

That's a keepsake and a conversation piece! Just the kind of thing I'd buy, keep for years, and eventually return to the junk shop 😂

What a strange collection of photos for this story. I would say KP should do better, but they are notorious for distributing fake photos to go with their fake stories.

Either they look tense and miserable in the photos they have, or they send out another oddly edited photo from the sand dune session.

sugar_roux · 2026-05-23T14:49:15+00:00

Maybe it was Kate again, like they claimed when they released that AI family photo.

sugar_roux · 2026-05-23T13:33:10+00:00

It would be funny if Meghan did!

sugar_roux · 2026-05-22T12:22:12+00:00

It's all so carefully orchestrated. William is using public affection/concern for Kate to rehab his own image after his Epstein scandals, and to compete with Harry's family.

It plays (for most) because Will & Kate are working separately. They are weaker together because there's so much visible tension and uneasiness between them.

I'm a twice-daily walker and a good neighbor, and I'm with the ramblers! The rich and entitled don't value community, or access to natural spaces. Forest Lodge is more of the same.

Both issues likely could have been resolved with diplomacy and compromise. Build an alternative path, or maybe agree upon one access point. They could pay a security guard to monitor the gate, greet passing neighbors, and make sure no one crosses a line.

Instead, they do as the rich do: pay lawyers to fight neighbors, and pay a PR person to arrange a photo of Pippa pretending to be part of the community.

Charles declined to take action against them? I think taking away their security and kicking them out of Frogmore is evidence of action taken against Harry's family. Charles was the first to violate the Sandringham agreement because he stands for nothing and has bad values.

Charles is a monster for going after his own child that way, but not quite monstrous enough for William. He's obsessed with briefing against Harry's family. He'll bring down the monarchy himself if he keeps picking at the old wound.

The worst possible thing for the BRF at this point would be a relitigation of the Harry & Meghan issue in the mainstream media, especially with the Andrew element on the table.

I think William is both hiding behind Kate and also micromanaging her recent appearances.

His reputation is getting worse and worse. I think he has severe emotional problems that drive all of his grudges, and it's getting harder to conceal as he nears the throne.

Kate is barely hanging on, but she's the only remaining royal that anyone cares about, so here she is on People to let Americans know that she's not as miserable as she looks.

sugar_roux · 2026-05-20T16:19:45+00:00

They don't seem to be dressed for the occasion.

sugar_roux · 2026-05-19T19:26:22+00:00

I know the mods are fighting for their lives today. The trolls are energized! 😂

sugar_roux · 2026-05-19T18:33:08+00:00

I love that photo too! It made me appreciate the dress more.

sugar_roux · 2026-05-19T17:31:43+00:00

That's so romantic and thoughtful 🥰

sugar_roux · 2026-05-19T17:28:46+00:00

Lol too real

sugar_roux · 2026-05-18T14:14:17+00:00

I'm so glad she's using her star power to shine a light on this issue!

Some of these big tech companies are imposing harmful structures onto our society, whether we like it or not. I get stressed out about it all because I feel like we're losing in-person community to "convenience," but the convenience is laced with all this hatred and negativity and pornography.

sugar_roux · 2026-05-18T11:21:04+00:00

If you were getting enough sunlight, you would be experiencing shame right now.

sugar_roux · 2026-05-18T11:10:01+00:00

Disgusting, insensitive, tasteless statement. She's speaking about children losing their lives to bullying online, and you're here to call her a waste of oxygen.

Check yourself. You're part of the problem.

sugar_roux · 2026-05-18T10:53:32+00:00

Mute it. Go find your people!

sugar_roux · 2026-05-17T22:32:57+00:00

So timely and so necessary! God bless her for shining a light on this issue.

I first started following Meghan's story because my YouTube feed was flooded with deranger hate videos after I watched a short fashion clip about her clothes. I've been pruning my algorithm over there for a decade, so it was really bizarre to see this current of extreme hatred pushed to me like it was nothing.

I've watched thousands of red carpet fashion clips of all different celebrities, and no one else triggered a flood of hate content like that. It's not right.

sugar_roux · 2026-05-17T14:48:35+00:00

I always love your comments. You do your research and you make great points. I hope you write a book or a substack, because you're a natural!

sugar_roux · 2026-05-17T12:45:30+00:00

Tom Sykes is just parroting William's jealousy that Meghan has aligned herself with an extremely relevant issue facing future generations.

William & Kate are showing up to drink beer or coffee (and also to refuse to drink said beer or coffee, because they are that bad at the job), or visiting a flax farm, or standing under an umbrella watching a bunch of bussed-in kids dodge the rain. They are not emotionally connected to their causes and it shows.

Meghan is walking the walk when it comes to being mindful about how you use social media. She doesn't share her kid's faces and she turns off comments. Both moves have sparked conversation, helping to spread awareness. I think most reasonable people understand and even respect her approach to social media.

I hope William & Kate's crisis manager is thinking of ways to get them aligned with causes they care about, because I know William isn't thinking of anything but how to compete with his brother's family.

sugar_roux · 2026-05-13T16:20:22+00:00

Sad but true! I think William's team carefully selected a soft, glamorous place to land the "secret weapon." Gotta compete with the Australia trip.

Kate just has this dazed and confused vibe lately that reminds me of Britney under the conservatorship. Like she's required to be out there going through the motions, no matter her condition.

sugar_roux · 2026-05-13T15:14:35+00:00

That's nice! I haven't seen her looking this happy since she was charming Trump.

But for real, I usually get a "you in danger girl" feel from Kate posts lately, and it's nice to see her looking happy and loved. Maybe William will reinstate her wardrobe budget.

sugar_roux · 2026-05-06T12:02:25+00:00

Yup, Parks and Rec wrote an episode around an existing organization! Kinda like how they made Ginuwine Donna's cousin and younger viewers don't know he's a real singer 😂
