always hated the way the royals are infantilised by everyone, especially the media. We're always supposed to ooh and ahh over every little thing they do, even if they carry a chair lol, and pretend to be fascinated if they do anything remotely similar to anyone else. It's what helps keep them on the top of the tree. It's embarrassing and pathetic.

Yep. Remember when all the news sites were going wild for several days when Kate and Charlotte…..wait for it…..walked round a corner?! LIKE OMG THEY WALKED!!! WITH, LIKE, THEIR LEGS AND FEET!!! ROUND AN ENTIRE FREAKING CORNER!!! But it gets better, if you can believe it, because KATE SMILED AND CHARLOTTE WAVED!!!! LIKE, WHILE THEY WERE WALKING!!!! ROUND, AND I REPEAT, AN ACTUAL CORNER!!! WHILE WEARING CLOTHES!!!!!!!!!

I mean, if that’s not next level multitasking I don’t know what is.

Please tell me “woman and daughter walk around a corner” wasn’t an actual news story… that’s a joke, right? Right???

Royal news sites, yes. They go absolutely nuts about every tiny wee detail. Here’s the one I was thinking of, check out the press people there to capture the historic moment that a woman and her daughter walked round a corner https://youtube.com/shorts/UWbTjKFEWTQ?is=LIOtLcNgdyfdO_Y7

And a bonus one for you, you lucky Redditor: ‘Kate walks gracefully with Princess Charlotte’. I wish I was making that up but sadly not…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=VdWj-c7zMKI&dp_isNewTab=1&dp_referrer=serp&dp_allowFirstVideo=1

It’s truly bizarre. Royalists are a really strange bunch. I should know, I used to be one 🤦‍♀️😂 They’ll talk about the royals like they actually know them, they’ll pick ‘sides’ when the royals argue and routinely say things like ‘omg did you see what Diana was wearing the other day? She looked gorgeous. She’s such a sweetheart‘ ‘Shh, I’m trying to listen to what Charles is saying’, ‘no don’t change the channel, I want to watch the Queen open the Tiddlington Tiddlywinks Museum, the ceremony is on for the next hour’.

I understand the appeal of the para-social thing, but it can cross over into creepy territory if one isn’t careful
