Lizzie @elizabethmm07
QuoteA good cause. However, She seems addicted to spending ridiculous sums on clothes she'll wear only once. I appreciate the need to look the part, but it's obscene when there is so much poverty.
:lol: Looks like the Kate fans who went on Twitter, papers, forums etc. to complain about Meghan's engagement dress have managed to put Kate in the cross fire. :laugh10: Comments everywhere about Kate's spending & not working habit. :P
Lizzie is wishing la la land, Kate repeats her clothing. And factually her 2017 budget was well done, as all her outfits was GBP 120K. ;)

QuoteThe centre, which opened its doors to clients last year, hosts a rolling cycle of nine-week long self-help addiction recovery programmes called Clouds in the Community.
The community-based programmes are described as an effective alternative to residential treatment and allow the charity to provide services in more places and to help more people.
Clouds in the Community serves as a starting point for long-term recovery and abstinence, leading to improvements in participants? physical and mental health and overall quality of life.
Action on Addiction said independent evaluation of its Essex programme showed almost 80% of clients did not return to any treatment service after completing the scheme.
The charity has several sites around the country, including its flagship Clouds House centre in Wiltshire which offers residential treatment, and a further community-based site in Liverpool.
It treats all forms of addiction including alcoholism, drug addiction, gambling addiction, sex addiction and food-related disorders.

That coat looks like she should give it back to the Goat. :teehee:
That speech may seem impromptu to someone fighting for their spot in the line of royal reporters but Kate would have needed practice to be able to do anything.

Kate should deal with her shopping addiction before she tries giving others advice. Oh wait the way she is sitting in the group maybe that is why she's there.

Lisadug is trying too hard, me thinks some people don't want MM to be alone in the history books of acquiring one dress at the cost of half a yearly clothing budget :P
Lisa dug is just one person commenting there are many others on twitter & the papers. Kate needs to watch that spending especially since there are those who plan on the Duchy of Cornwall monies going to the heir ending with Charles. :nod:

QuoteBloody ridiculous, she's just taking the p..s and rubbing their noses in it. What was wrong with the new blue coat from last week! Sorry but she needs to be told and get a bloody grip, there's people out there working 40+ hours a week so have a winter coat for years!

QuoteAt the very least I thought it would be last weeks repeated as both 'maternity' size surely now others can see my point about the shopping being out of control?!
There are just to many to post. :lol:
Wait till the end of the year, her 2017 budget was very acceptable. No one made a scandal about it thanks to the black dress.

The Duchess of Cambridge found herself in a sticky situation when she got her heel trapped in a grate today.
Kate, who is seven months pregnant with her third child, was nearly stopped in her tracks on arrival at an Action on Addiction treatment centre in Wickford, Essex.
This is why a pregnant woman shouldn't wear hooker heels. :nod:

Kate should really be better at this than she is after so many years. The bar is set very low for Kate when she makes a speech & constantly says UMM.
It looks natural rather than stepford.
It looks like a fifth grader doing their first public speaking assignment. :orchid:
