I am very surprised he commented on the situation in Gaza. I also think it's worth noting that the BRF is known to be deeply anti-semitic, despite my personal feelings about Israel at this moment and the absolute fact that criticism of Israel's genocide against Palestinian people does not equal antisemitism in any way shape or form. I just don't give William much credit to be making this statement for the right reasons, but at least he made it. Maybe I'm wrong, and he was waiting on his father to do it, got mad that he didn't, and is doing it under his own monogram out of genuine crisis of conscience. The world is a strange place, all things are possible. And Sweetjane , that's why the monogram DOES matter when you take in the way the BRF moves and the politics of what titles/regalia they use when saying things. IDK that it has anything to do with Kate, but they also should have known given her conspicuous absence that doing so would spark conversation. All of this is done with calculation and purpose. It's not off topic or wrong to notice it. So I also think it's a distraction tactic specifically BECAUSE they so rarely comment on politics and world events. But again, I have a low opinion of William. And I don't put it past him to have made this statement for just that reason. I read that his new private secretary has a background in diplomacy, so I wonder if he was influenced by someone who actually knows shit telling him "you should say something." And writing it for him.

I understand why the monogram matters WRT who posted it, that's what I was pointing out in my second paragraph.
My original complaint stands, that people can post and repost the statement without even acknowledging the content. It's infuriating🇵🇸. It's the fucking elephant in the room. And don't @ me about this being the Royals thread.

And don't @ me about this being the Royals thread. I don't give him any credit for his statement. He previously released a statement saying that Israel was exercising it's right to self defense. His current press release doesn't doesn't call for a ceasefire or name what is happening as genocide. It waffles the line between both groups. Both Will and Charles have made statements since October 7th about the situation, so I don't even consider this to be stepping outside the fake idea of the BRF being politically neutral. Calling for peace doesn't actually acknowledge what is happening in my opinion or move the needle in any real way. It's the GOP equivalent to thoughts and prayers for me.

And don't @ me about this being the Royals thread. He’s been pro-Israel from jump. So his post is reading disingenuous and skewed to his own benefit. Don’t @ us for talking about what the thread is centered on. He’s known for being racist. Sorry I’m not giving him a pat on the head for a statement I know has ulterior motives.

And dinner yesterday This is a rare miss for me, but it’s probably just because I usually really love her outfits. Too many colors that don’t seem to feel purposeful. I like the silhouette though.

I came across a small clip of her on FB yesterday, walking out of a restaurant into a car (it was actually from one of the photos from here, but posted from E news or something; probably the algorithm showing me more BRF since I’ve been lurking this thread now). I made the mistake of hitting the comments. I knew people didn’t like her, I truly did, but I didn’t realize how much the general public still sucked ass, and hated every single thing about her for absolutely no reason at all. It seriously made me sick to my stomach. I knew they hated her, yet I was still shocked that it was literally 99% of the comments that were full of venom for her, and not closer to 50/50 at least. WTF is wrong with people. It made me so angry.

Not that I expect everyone to be adoring, but the level of vitriol for someone they don't know in real life sure is something.

I think she looks casual and cute I like all of the individual pieces- just not together. Cool grey with warm black/grey mixed with navy, pewter metallic shoes and a silver tote. But the style formula works for sure.

But the style formula works for sure. I agree but I also imagine it's highlighted by the flash photography and may not be as noticeable or disjarring in real life.

I'm seeing that from a source in Greece, and gaining traction in Europe, is that Charles has pancreatic cancer. Idk. He has seemed awfully jolly in recent photos for it to be so serious. But that would definitely change things.
