The British Monarchy

I think you and others have very much implied that, and I think you’re being quite disingenuous claiming that I have created that narrative from nothing, especially given your efforts to redefine what being born with a silver spoon in one’s mouth means and verifiably inaccurate assertions about the background of the Middleton family.

I didn’t imply that she was of the people; that was your assumption and your terminology. Invented by yourself.

Again, for what it think is the third or possibly fourth time, I simply stated that in the context of the RF, she wasn’t born with a silver spoon, she wasn’t an aristocrat and she didn’t have her own title. The unusual thing about her marrying Prince William was her lack of nobility. At no point did I suggest she was working class.

Also, regarding her family business, the fact that it went bust recently means nothing in relation to how much money it may have provided to them in the previous 30 odd years it was trading. But you already know that.

Ok, but that doesn’t mean her upbringing was closer to yours than a member born in to the royal family. She still had considerable wealth and privilege, and the advantages they bring (whether she intentionally leveraged the wealth and privilege or not), that you did not.

I will agree you both had #PrettyPrivilege, though.

You talk about respect, but clearly you can’t respect somebody’s right to privacy about a medical issue, although you’re a bit too dim to realise that aren’t you? And the one member of the Royal Family who wasn’t born with a silver spoon, but again that one went over your head as well.

Have you seen where she was educated? Kate was absolutely born with a sliver spoon in her mouth.
Absolutely fucking ridiculous to suggest otherwise.

Again, I think you are being intellectual dishonest here but I am not going to argue with you further.

And, of course I know that the business failing doesn’t relate to how much money it has provided them, as I said that exact thing at the very beginning of my response to @bluenova. That point supports my position, rather than yours, which makes it stranger that you are bringing it up. Her mother was only able to even start that business—then cash out before it went bust—because of the inherited wealth the Middleton family already possessed.

I've never heard that term before. Interesting. A little harsh though....
