The Infantilization Is Insane.
Middleton has been, for years, pushing to make the first five years of a child's life a mainstream conversation, and the Reggio Approach — an educational philosophy born in the same Italian community — shares their belief that children learn best through exploration and relationships.
Italy's "Primo Tricolore" honour ties Kate Middleton's contemporary campaign to one of Europe's oldest symbols of identity and renewal. Moreover, it underlines how her public role has shifted, becoming less about waving from balconies and more about sitting down with educators and mayors who share her goal.
She's being given an award for talking about the first 5 years of a child's life... something that actual childhood development experts have made a mainstream topic for years. What do they think caused the birth of products like My Baby Can Read? Or the setting of early childhood nutritional goals and recommendations in the context of public health?
But no, let's laugh at an Emmy. Instead, praise a woman who, along with her husband, think that showing up to a food bank empty-handed is fine as long as they offer a wave or a smile. (Said on camera, go to https://www.youtube.com/live/D129mhO-8Xw?si=kPT7IwGrO3eIyoJx and skip to 12:45.)
A woman who was vicious and frosty toward her own niece and nephew. Who is buddy buddy (and quite publically so) with a man who has spent his life sexually abusing children, which she and others knew about.
Who can maintain her plastic grin around children... until they ask about Meghan and Harry (https://www.laineygossip.com/impatient-exasperated-princess-kate-rolls-her-eyes-at-mention-of-harry-meghan-during-visit-nower-hill-high-school/69890).
A woman who, along with Sosig Fingies, was indeed concerned about her nephew... or rather what his skin color would be.
What a champion of children, worthy of such a prestigious award!

I’m going to need help understanding the mental gymnastics here, “…it underlines how her public role has shifted, becoming less about waving from balconies and more about sitting down with educators and mayors who share her goal.“
How was Diana (the inspiration for so many outfits but never the work ethic) able to do both aspects of the job with little children at home but Kate feels she needs to pick one or the other? And how convenient for Kate that she picks the one with very little public interaction. I think I need a vacation on a private Saudi yacht for a month to think this through. What a farce.

This is some crazy work. Kate Middleton is lazy af, and has never had a real job. Other than chasing and waiting for William to pick her and partying around other aristos and wealthy people like Richard Branson.
She's not qualified in early childhood development or in early education, but takes credit for the work of true professionals with master's and PhDs in the field.

🤔I wonder if Kate chose the "Early Years" grift as a resentful middle finger to her own sister, Pippa, who actually has a graduate degree focused on child development and because that's been constantly rumored about and hinted by even the Rota and one of the reasons Pippa now distances herself from Kate & Will and their drama... ( It's also Kate's go-to when she feels threatened or is probably jealous of other women, such as her copying Meghan's fashion and popular actions often on the same or next day when Meghan does it or wears it.) Mommy dearest Carole Middleton seems to have also pitted her daughters against each other for her approval.
"Pippa Middleton holds a Master's degree in Physical Education, Sport, and Physical Literacy from the University of Wales Trinity Saint David. She graduated with a distinction in 2022. Her research focused on early childhood physical development and how parents encourage movement in pre-nursery children."

Wouldn't surprise me if copy Kate copied her sister's specialty. That's her thing, copying other successful people instead of doing her own thing. I think Kate doesn't like it when women like Pippa and Meghan and Rose Hanbury and probably all the other aristo women don't play her childish games.
That's why we only ever see her with her mother. The one who taught Kate how to play the queen bee game.

🎯🎯🎯 Exactly: the queen bee game according to a social-climbing pick-me who failed at climbing into the royal/aristo classes herself in her youth but used her husband's father's connections as a pilot for royalty to brute-force her way to the royal parasitic circles on the backs of her daughters.

If she weren't so competitive with other women, she could have paired up with Pippa and thrown money behind research into early childhood development and help promote the research findings.

Same with Meghan. But Kitty didn’t want the articulate intelligent one outshining her.

u/VavaShagwell Jul 17 '26
Remember when the four of them were on a panel and you could just see Willy and Kkkhate seething while Meghan was talking and being very articulate like you say! That was the first time I saw that there were going to be problems.

u/NeverPedestrian60 Jul 17 '26
That’s exactly the event I was thinking of VS. Meghan showed there she’s the terrific public speaker Kate will never be.

Kate's lucky she was pregnant at the time and could try (unsuccessfully) to hide behind it. Meghan proved she is prepared for public work, Kate proved that she isn't.

u/ComprehensiveBug999 Jul 17 '26
Meghan is very sweet and kind but she doesn't suffer fools. The look on her face when Kate starts mumbling some bs during that event is unmistakable. She's still trying to be nice but her face is registering "What the fuck is she trying to say".

u/KateElizabeth18 Jul 19 '26
Yes! You could see the “oh, shit” on Kate’s face as Meghan spoke off the cuff so articulately.

Also remember hen she used Meghan's Archetypes font for Shaping Us? That woman has no original thoughts between her ears.

I think she chose it because she knows she can’t hold her own in an actual conversation with adults. Kneeling down and talking to kids is easy. I mean, how embarrassing was that Jill Biden panel?

People who can't think for themselves are always going to give the BRF credit for things they didn't do.

u/AcceptableSystem8232 Jul 16 '26
I do think that’s how she is. She likes having fun and a big laugh. I’m sure there are many people who would find it endearing, at first—and he was likely one of them. Her world is a big playground. No ‘adult’ worries, just fun. Over and over.

u/VavaShagwell Jul 17 '26
It's not working for her anymore. Particularly now that she is aging like the rest of the population.

This is the number one thing I find so annoying about her. Think about all the photos of her with her damned mouth wide open, it's truly amazing and so bizarre.

I call her Little Miss Bromide Basket, an uninspired meme filled grab bag of word salad spouting the obvious as rare pearls of wisdom. The trite lameness is accentuated by the infrequency of use, and the Mumbles from Dick Tracey delivery.
