Everything is the worst and Catherine is displeased.
On November 18th, the Duchess of Cambridge made an emotional speech at the Place2Be Headteacher Conference about the importance of mental well-being in young people.
Her Royal Highness touched on the love and support she received from her own parents and how that positively impacted her life (that would be the understatement of the century).
“I know that I was lucky,” Catherine told the audience. “My parents and teachers provided me with a wonderful and secure childhood where I always knew I was loved, valued and listened to.
“But of course many children are not so lucky. Since beginning my work in areas like addiction, for example, I have seen time and time again that the roots of poor mental health in adulthood are almost always present in unresolved childhood challenges.”
Catherine is a patron of Place2Be, an organization that provides emotional and therapeutic services for young people.
Some media outlets thought this the perfect opportunity to label Catherine a basket case, claiming that the speech was a “cry for help” as she continues to battle depression, anxiety and an eating disorder.
And it’s all the royal family’s fault.
“Prince William is desperate for Duchess Kate to ‘snap out of it,’ but the bouts of depression and anxiety appear to be increasing in frequency and severity,” Celebrity Dirty Laundry claims.
“The Duke of Cambridge also fears the Duchess of Cambridge is battling anorexia.”
Mmmk.
“Kate’s constant fighting with Camilla Parker-Bowles hasn’t helped the situation. Prince Harry reportedly came to Kate Middleton’s rescue recently telling Parker-Bowles to back off and stop tormenting the Duchess.
“This did not endear Prince Harry to Camilla Parker-Bowles and the two are now reportedly feuding.”
So much feuding! How does one get anything done with all this feuding?!
“Queen Elizabeth had given Carole Middleton a bit more access to Princess Kate which seemed to put both mother and daughter in better spirits. After finding out the manipulative Middleton matriarch was trying to freeze the Royal family out of Princess Charlotte’s first Christmas that was the end of that.”
Manipulative Middleton matriarch. That’s what I’ll be next Halloween.
“Queen Elizabeth reportedly is enforcing even tougher restrictions on how much contact Carole can have with Princess Kate, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.”
This is so dumb. The Windsors are made out to sound like as dysfunctional as that terrible E! show.
BTW, the Queen and her husband, Prince Philip celebrated their 68th anniversary today. Congrats, you love birds.
And when you’re done wondering if Catherine is weeping in an ivory tower right this very second, please take a moment to soak in the sartorial splendor of todays look in Wales.
Catherine wore Reiss’ “Angel” coat for a visit to Caernarfon with her Kiki McDonough Eternal 18k Gold Citrine Pear-Drop Earrings ($ 740). She and William used to live in Anglesey, Wales when they were first married, so today’s trip was especially significant.
The Reiss coat was first seen on Catherine on Christmas day 2011 (thanks What Kate Wore for that reminder!), then again in 2012 during a trip St. George’s Park (she was in her first trimester with George at that time).
