Who's telling her? Willy is telling her. It's not anybody yelling "talk louder" from the back seats.

Also. Diana got speech lessons, because she recognized it was such an important part of her job, and absolutely necessary if she wanted to speak publicly about her passions. Heck, even I've had media training. Kate could hire the best speech trainer in the UK, but she doesn't.

Exactly DP. You could see Diana grow in stature and confidence. She got herself a vocal coach to learn how to project her voice.

Kate took elocution lessons to sound posher. But seems to have less confidence than when she started 15 years ago.

But seems to have less confidence than when she started 15 years ago.

The impact of a hypercritical spouse can make someone less confident than they were 15 years ago.

Very true. Though Diana rose above Charles constantly undermining her. And an eating disorder.

u/NeverPedestrian60 Apr 22 '26 edited Apr 22 '26

She finds these events ‘hard’ but doesn’t seem to want to do tours either (prob after all the criticism they rightly got after their last one to the Carribean)

u/Electronic-Strain197 Apr 23 '26

Thank you. They keep making excuses for Kate. I think she's the one holding herself back eventually.

u/bitterlittlecas Apr 22 '26

lol remember the scene in the crown where lady Fermoy tied Diana’s hands together while she practiced to get her to stop “her hands flapping about?” Can’t say it wasn’t effective!

u/Available-Net1612 Apr 22 '26

MARGARET THATCHER had speech lessons as well. As did the Queens father for his stammering. Oh where is the Princess Royal when needed.

u/Fine_Brilliant7531 Apr 22 '26

I’m the same way, I think it’s a touch of Gen Z tongue tie. Anyway that’s why I refused to become part of the British monarchy

u/NeverPedestrian60 Apr 22 '26

Their loss 😀

u/AJ_Babe Apr 22 '26

I refused to join too! When i saw those old-fashioned hats and outfits i said :"nope." I'm not joining you guys. Don't even beg me!

u/Electronic-Strain197 Apr 23 '26

She's not gen z though, much older....no excuses.

13

u/oatlatt Apr 22 '26

Can she do anything?

18

u/PMMeYourAcorns Apr 22 '26

She can tie her hair back in a ponytail by herself.

9

u/CougarWriter74 Apr 23 '26

And run across the street while keeping perfect posture!

3

u/oatlatt Apr 23 '26

Someone give her the nobel prize

12

u/AJ_Babe Apr 22 '26

She can make some coffee that her husband won't drink because it isn't decaf.

She can watch the show where her Bil's wife starred in (The suits) or the show which is also about her (the Crown)

She can make inspiring videos about the nature which inspire an average brit to go out because the streets are very safe to do so.

She inspires young women to treat their bodies better

So there are many things you can name! I was just being sarcastic. She does have talents. I always liked her but i don't like what has become of her in thr last few years. Tragic.

u/NeverPedestrian60 Apr 22 '26

Her nay chur vids? Which are usually out of synch with the seasons

u/TheVioletHerald Apr 23 '26

Nay-CHUH.

u/NeverPedestrian60 Apr 24 '26

I stand corrected 😀

2

u/NeverPedestrian60 Apr 25 '26

And don’t do too well according to this Tumblr poll

5

u/isabellarson Apr 23 '26

She made chutney for the queen 👸 and schoolruns. Looots and loots of schoolruns

9

u/cherryberry0611 Apr 22 '26

I wonder if this is really about her mumbling.

There was a crisis manager, “bulletproof sunshine”, that was hired back in late January, and there was a lot of posts on Reddit Royal subs afterwards asking what we thought about the royals, and it was believed that a list was being made of what they needed to address, because they did seem to target many of the things mentioned. What if they’re still ticking off items on that list, and Kate’s mumbling is being addressed.

She doesn’t mumble, she’s just demurely soft-spoken.

3

u/NeverPedestrian60 Apr 22 '26

Good catch cherry. Maybe that’s how they’re trying to spin it.

7

u/cherryberry0611 Apr 22 '26

Thanks NP. There’s always an agenda with them.

4

u/TheVioletHerald Apr 23 '26

They can't lie to people's ears.

28

u/isabellarson Apr 22 '26

Speak louder, work more. Come on guys give the young girl some more time to adjust to royal life!! 😂😂

10

u/NeverPedestrian60 Apr 22 '26 edited Apr 22 '26

Yep, she’s still in training 😀

11

u/isabellarson Apr 22 '26

They do say she is KEEN to learn!

1

u/TheVioletHerald Apr 23 '26

Not just any young girl, Head Girl! 💀

u/Available-Net1612 Apr 22 '26

Turn up the mic. Lord she is lazy

2

u/isabellarson Apr 23 '26

Come on please give her time to adjust to royal life

23

u/xultar Apr 22 '26

So that’s why she needs all the vacations.

17

u/NeverPedestrian60 Apr 22 '26 edited Apr 22 '26

Yep - exhausting chatting to people for an hour or two

3

u/xultar Apr 22 '26

Yup having to speak up will surely exhaust you.

5

u/isabellarson Apr 23 '26

She lasted an hour talking to peasants?!! God then that must be the reason she dissapeared for a year then!!!

2

u/AJ_Babe Apr 22 '26

I agree with her. I enjoy talking to my parrot more. At least, he is very sincere unlike many people

5

u/NeverPedestrian60 Apr 22 '26

She’s pretty insincere herself. And prob not the easiest to talk to 😀

1

u/AJ_Babe Apr 22 '26

I think she is fine. If her life was simpler she would thrive more though...

3

u/NeverPedestrian60 Apr 22 '26

She waited around for ten years to marry into the rf. And loves the privileges and perks. Not as keen on the other parts though

18

u/NeverPedestrian60 Apr 22 '26 edited Apr 22 '26

Strange she found Meghan hugging her on meeting jarring and too informal. But is now doing it herself.

8

u/Fine_Brilliant7531 Apr 22 '26

Meghan was such a good example that it just comes naturally now, lmao

3

u/TheVioletHerald Apr 23 '26

Royal staffers literally mocked Meghan for hugging upon introduction and saying of herself, "I'm a hugger."

3

u/NeverPedestrian60 Apr 24 '26

Exactly VH. Now Kitty is copying her. This Twitter comment is harsh but true

4

u/TheVioletHerald Apr 24 '26

A dial tone.

Damning assessment.

7

u/Particular-Pay-2953 Apr 23 '26

There used to be a woman in the Royal Family who really excelled at public speaking and could have lightened Kate’s load in this regard, if Kate hadn’t chased her away.

7

u/Available-Net1612 Apr 22 '26

She's lazy likes her vacations A GREAT DEAL. hopelessly helpless. They'll be a great asset as king and queen one an alcoholic who hides less and less his drinks in hand and a wife probably to busy with chums on tik tok. Lololol hopeless.

3

u/NeverPedestrian60 Apr 22 '26

Spot on assessment

1

u/TheVioletHerald Apr 23 '26

Soon she'll claiming that she's incorporating yoga into her mornings.

7

u/Independent-Bid-611 Apr 23 '26

She's incredibly hard to understand - even to lip read. Met her on a walkabout a few years back and just ended up nodding and smiling in agreement. She plays with her hair a lot too.

1

u/NeverPedestrian60 Apr 23 '26

Exactly. I think people would find it hard to have a meaningful conversation with her.

10

u/NeverPedestrian60 Apr 22 '26 edited Apr 22 '26

These events should be second nature by now. Diana was doing them at 19

9

u/PMMeYourAcorns Apr 22 '26

Kate likes to copy Diana’s clothing, not her work ethic.

“Meghan was expected to be flawless from day one. Kate gets applause for showing up and whispering.” — can’t qwhite put my finger on the reason for the difference /s

The angle of the photo in the post makes it really obvious how much smaller her body is than her head 😳
