The dogs bark – the caravan goes on: Kate Middleton survived bullying and ridicule, and now she teaches us

Kate Middleton is a role model for millions of women around the world. Some mistakenly believe that the duchess is very lucky in life and everything goes easily and effortlessly for her. This is of course not true.

So, for example, the wife of Prince William knows firsthand what bullying, gossip and ridicule are. But she managed to cope with it all and is now ready to share her wisdom.

Kate Middleton’s school years can hardly be called happy. She came to school at the age of 13, while the other girls studied together for two years. Moreover, Katherine did not live in the boarding school, but went home. She was often harassed by her classmates for this. “Everyone wanted to be the best, fittest and most beautiful. Kate was unhappy there from the start,” said Emma Sale, a school friend of the Duchess of Cambridge.

Katherine’s classmates laughed at her for being too tall. Kate found it difficult to deal with the conflict on her own and told her parents about it. Michael and Carol immediately took the documents and transferred their daughter to another educational institution. And for Middleton, the situation was a lesson: you shouldn’t let anyone define who you are. He’s been doing it ever since.

Perhaps each of us has encountered gossip at least once in our lives. Imagine what it’s like for the public! And with the royals themselves being reluctant to share personal information with the media and the public, people are speculating.

For example, in 2015, rumors spread that Prince William’s ex-girlfriend Jessica Craig was pregnant with him. It emerged that while the Duke was at a press conference in Madrid, he was spotted with Jessica. It is not known whether it was just a friendly meeting or something more, but after the girl appeared at her wedding a few months later, the media began to talk about the imminent appearance of an illegitimate child of the heir to the British throne.

Later, side novels were attributed to William many times, but Kate did not believe any gossip about her husband. Why? They had no confirmation, she trusts her husband and is not ready to lower herself to such a low point.

Royal protocol ensures restraint in behavior and expression of emotion. However, Katherine often deviates from this rule. He allows himself to play baseball in his coat or laugh with his mouth wide open. Most often it looks funny, even somewhat attractive, but not ridiculous. The Duchess of Cambridge naturally expresses her feelings. Perhaps this quality helped her win the love of people all over the world.

What should be the conclusion? Self-irony is a talent that must be learned. Then people will be drawn to you and you yourself will feel confident in any situation.
