Once Kate Middleton married into the firm, otherwise known as the Royal family, she accepted the responsibility, which requires her to attend every Christmas dinner with the other Royals at Queen Elizabeth’s Sandringham Estate. As in, she is to never spend Christmas unwrapping gifts with her folks. She’s got to saddle up to the long table and drink Port with the in-laws who all happen to wear fancy jewelry and have titles. But because she’s been ralphing 24/7 because of acute morning sickness the Queen might be offering her a break. There was speculation she might be “allowed” to spend it with her parents who live closer to a hospital in the event she needs immediate care. The Queen’s crib, as you can imagine, is about 35 miles west of BF Egypt. You get sick? You’re just supposed to hobble around until the vacation is over and your car takes you back to civilization. It’s what is expected, you see. So if Katy Cambridge takes a break from Christmas pudding and sacks out in Bucklebury watching Made in Chelsea reruns with her brother and sister she’s got another thing coming. She best rise to the occasion, my lady.
“Kate doesn’t want to disappoint the queen, nor does she want to skip on her duties,” an insider says. “She feels she is obliged to appear at the annual Christmas dinner… William has his concerns though that she won’t be up to it, and told Kate she shouldn’t worry if she feels too sick to attend and that no-one will judge her negatively.”
Um, sure. No one will judge. They’re royals. They judge. That’s part of their job description.
If she were to skip those cousins Beatrice and Eugenie would be texting their mother all day long. Then Fergie would call the tabloids and call Kate weak and needy. Camilla would probably point out how when she had her kids in 1840 that she maintained her hunting schedule while vomiting. They would not let her live this down. So she’s stuck having to sit through boring conversations about the weather, squirrel traps, and how delicious the goose tastes. This, by the way, while pretending she doesn’t want to spit on everyone’s shoes.
Side note: Can you imagine having to come up with a Christmas present for Queen Elizabeth? I mean, how many teacups can the lady have?
