I think that with her high profile, Catherine has a lot of power to bring attention to causes. I doubt Grimsby was on most people's radar until she visited it. <br /><br />It's a bit misleading for the media to say she will undertake a 'string of engagements' and then have them spread so far apart. It's like a lot of stops and starts when she should just get going. I think that's the main reason people are becoming impatient with her. <br /><br />That said, when she does do things she gets very little credit for it. There is always some sort of reason to tear her down. Today for her visit to Grimsby: 'Why is she late? Why is she taking a helicopter when she could take the train? Isn't it good enough for her?' and other nonsense like that. In a way she can't win but that shouldn't stop her from making more of an effort. <br /><br />We shall see what the next few months bring before Baby Cambridge arrives! Fingers crossed she uses them wisely.

It's a funny situation. I think C...Hi Marilyn,<br /><br />It's a funny situation. I think Catherine is a strong woman and I think she has proven that. I'm sure she has heard about Hilary's thoughts about her but probably don't care because Hilary don't really know her personally. I just don't thinl members of the royal family take stuff like that to heart.<br /><br />I think Hilary Mantel's thoughts was of her own opinion. The royals are used to criticism but I think the British royals take a harder and unnecessary beating in the press than the other European royals. I think it's very unfair and silly. <br /> <br />Catherine can't do anything about the amount of attention that's paid to her wardrobe. The press will pay attention to that no matter what. The royals have to look good on their job. It's been like that for decades.<br /><br />I no doubt that Catherine is working hard aa a senior member of the royal family. I think the main issue people are having is with that William & Catherine don't do as much public official engagements because they're not full-time members of the royal family yet. <br /><br />William has mentioned that it's getting hard to balance out their military life and royal life. They work around the SAR schedual and that schedual can be crazy at times. <br /><br />We're suppose to hear (officially) if they will decide to stay in the military or become working royals full-time soon. Catherine has some official engagements coming up this week and I think she will continue to do what she can before that baby arrives. I would like to see them do more official engagements and take on more roles with the "Firm." <br /><br />We just have to be a little more patient to see what will happen.Rmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00539736530998438362noreply@blogger.com
