www.celebitchy.com/752571/the_cambridges_visit_berkshire_a_lot_more_often_than_people_realize/The Cambridges ‘visit’ Berkshire ‘a lot more often than people realize’ February 04, 2022 By Kaiser Kate Middleton, Prince William, Royals If the Cambridges are already spending tons of time in Windsor/Berkshire, then I suspect it’s more like Kate and the kids basically live with Carole and Mike Middleton in Bucklebury while William does God knows what with God knows whom. Either that or Kate and William found some kind of castle to rent short-term before they demand that the Queen order the Weston family to move out of Fort Belvedere. It’s very odd! Especially this: “the place they feel most comfortable as a family whenever they go to visit which is a lot more often than people realize…” As in, that’s where they are when they disappear and when they’re barely working? They’re looking at real estate in Berkshire constantly? They’re endlessly vacationing in Berkshire villages?Some comments: notasugarhere says: February 4, 2022 at 9:31 am W&K demanded apartment 1A at KP, when it was already filled with Historic Royal Palaces staff, storage, and exhibits. QEII made HRP move.
W&K demanded more room for their staff at KP. QEII made them move, resulting in HRP having to build the multi-story basement facility under The Orangery at KP.
Liz kicked out the high-end kitchen designers who were leasing Anmer Hall in order to move in W&K. At the time there was talk W&K were trying to force QEII/Charles to buy them a private estate, Anmer was the compromise.
Why wouldn’t W&K assume they can kick out anyone from any property, given that history?
Kalana says: February 4, 2022 at 9:10 am That stood out to me too. Why in the world would they need daycare? Reply Harper says: February 4, 2022 at 9:58 am Day care isn’t in quotes so it’s not straight from CarolE’s mouth. What CarolE probably said was there is a nice little drop-in preschool or woman who watches kids in her cottage that Pippa already uses. Kate drops off Louis, and Pippa drops off her kids when the three of them need a day out together to shop, lunch and have their spa treatments. Louis isn’t in full time school so Kate probably takes him with her on her day trips to Bucklebury, but they need to park him somewhere to do fun stuff. The USWeekly writer probably had to shorten the concept to something like day care. Jais says: February 4, 2022 at 10:04 am Hmmm maybe the day care reference has something to do with the kids play thing that Pippa is supposedly setting up? I honestly don’t know what it is but have seen it mentioned in the comments. Eurydice says: February 4, 2022 at 10:10 am The piece says “several child day care centers” – that’s not shorter than “drop-in preschool” or at all the same thing. That sounds like they’re considering several options…none of which seem actually relevant. thaisajs says: February 4, 2022 at 12:02 pm They have at least one nanny. And the two oldest are already in school (or at least preschool). Why would they need daycare? Also, there is no way they’d use a local daycare anyway. That’s for the commoners. Jen says: February 4, 2022 at 8:56 am I don’t know if I would want to draw attention to how little I work if I were them. Now that their whipping boy is gone, people might start caring. Reply Yvette says: February 4, 2022 at 12:35 pm @jen … As William has cast loads of subtle shade at Charles and the Windsor clan for years now with leaked stories claiming how much he loves being around the ‘stable’ Middletons–Carol in particular–and how just being in their glow makes William a stable, grounded person, I really don’t think many in the British public will even notice.Jaded says: February 4, 2022 at 12:54 pm This is like a house of cards that’s about to come tumbling down. Everyone involved, from Ma Meddlesome to Charles and Camilla to William now being basically MIA every time Kate does an appearance, is trying desperately to cover up/explain away and otherwise lie about what is clearly a sham marriage. I think Kate’s recent appearance with Charles and Camilla is more about putting the tabloids off the scent with the family outing thing, and that Kate has to keep up appearances to offset shady press while William goes off to brood, chew his fists or shag his latest mistress. No matter what a twat he is, he is the FFK and as we’ve seen with the BRF, they circle the wagons and protect their own.Reply Harper says: February 4, 2022 at 1:23 pm I was thinking that dragging Kate out twice this week might be to throw everyone off the scent that William is MIA. He hasn’t been seen since he did that BAFTA tour last week (unless he did something today that we aren’t aware of yet). Maybe he went on another skiing vacation this week like he has been known to do this time of year.Reply

Welcome to Capitalism. In order to avoid an uprising within our own land we outsource jobs to foreign nations; doing so prevents our own people from rebelling. Exploitation is necessary for Capitalism to work. Everybody living in a Capitalist society benefits from this practice. Chances are the computer used to write this article is made with materials gained through cheap/forced/child labour. There's nothing wrong with child labour so long as they are not abused into working; most often working is the best thing both for them and their country, especially when they don't have access to education. It wouldn't hurt to spread the wealth a little though, nobody really needs to be a millionaire so why pay people 10p an hour? "Because we can" doesn't seem like a good answer to me.110321Click to rate welshcyclist, Neath, 9 years ago Are we supposed to be surprised by this.

I know it is an ok wage for that country. I understand that when I buy something cheap from a pound shop or Primark, somebody in a foreign country may have been exploited a bit and budget stores are making a minimal profit. When I have bought dearer and designer labels such as DKNY and find that they were made in China, for pennies I get annoyed as she sells it as though it is made in America by giving it that label but making massive profits, so a better wage could easily be paid or it could be made by an American. The Middleton's items are not cheap but made cheap, so they could be made in this country because they trade on their links. Honestly, would so many buy their stuff without their links. I doubt that many people had even heard of their company before. It would be excellent if they made the stuff here and totally went for the English heritage image

It is extremely easy for folk to react with righteous indignation to articles such as this, but if you experience life by living in the many countries where these conditions exist, you would think hard before pulling any plugs. In the Philippines for instance, there are huge numbers of small businesses that employ poor families and pay very little money to perform such tasks; I assure you that in a great many instances it is NOT the end customer that is mainly at fault, it is the major initial buyers and exporters in the country of origin, that make the biggest profits. They know that the poor folk are desperate and will take anything as long as it puts food in their mouth. What is more, if you stop buying, the very family you wish to protect may then suffer as a direct result, and the big busines fat cats will simply move on. IT'S A BIG BAD WORLD OUT THERE.

Talk about promoting class distinctions. Children working in sweatshops and other kids get to enjoy the toys. One class of children is only fit to work for the other class of children. Painful.
I also think that William really lowered himself permanently. I used to wonder at the snobbery of it all, but the Midds always prefer to take shortcuts and skimp rather than put their all in. I also think that a party supply company is really low for a prince and it is a pity. If the Midds were owners/operators of a construction company, then it would be better since it would be a concrete profession that is involved in the process of contributing and also it takes a HUGE amount of hard work. There is a reason that construction companies rake in millions and there is a reason that party supply companies are a less respected profession. I do not think that this family is interested in hard work and going the extra mile and social climbing does not count.
It is seriously bad when all three kids do not develop into healthy, productive adults and it is clear that none of the Midds are people who even want to be independent. James is a complete loss and it is clear that his narcissism is so ingrained that he is seriously unstable. He gets jobs, but prefers to jet set rather than stay on task or even stay where he's supposed to be (that resort lodge host job for one) and I find it insane that Kate and Pippa really did think that getting into the beds of one too many men would somehow be 'okay' because they viewed themselves as upper class because their parents were paying their way. It isn't. Carole is a walking mental malfunction and Micheal is likely the only decent one in that family.

Aside: Oh, great, the alleged f#ke royal parents and M#ddleton family members are seeking to divy up the crown properties - and even seeking to leave them to false heirs? THIS is now the legacy the Queen left to the UK and Commonwealth - a totally bogus Monarchy that she couldn't protect from swindlers and charlatans. She just may have given ALL her ancestors the classic middle finger. Ultimately, she was responsible for allowing this all to happen. See the fraudulent M#ddletons and their fake royal ilk parading about in royal palaces is just another FU to the taxpayers and citizens of the UK and Commonwealth. Disgusting, really. www.celebitchy.com/753104/the_cambridges_will_likely_move_to_frogmore_house_then_windsor_castle/The Cambridges will likely move to Frogmore House, then Windsor Castle? February 08, 2022 By Kaiser Kate Middleton, Prince Charles, Prince William, RoyalsCharles in charge in BP: Prince Charles will move into Buckingham Palace when he becomes king. The Daily Mail understands that the Prince of Wales is ‘firmly of the view that it’s the visible symbol of the monarchy in the nation’s capital and therefore must be his home. There is no question about it,’ a source revealed yesterday. ‘HRH’s view is that you need a monarch at monarchy HQ. This has never been in doubt. The Prince of Wales will not move into Buckingham Palace before he is king. But when he is, he absolutely will. Just like the Queen, it will effectively be in the ‘flat above the shop’. He feels it is right, just as the Queen does, to work out of Buckingham Palace. The Palace will still be a working and entertaining hub and will also still be open to visitors. It is a hugely important tourist attraction. But the prince can still live there at the same time, much like he does at Highgrove, which is also open to the public.’
The Cambridges’ living arrangements: William and Kate will keep their domestic and work base at Kensington Palace. They have lived there in Apartment 1A since 2017. The couple also have Anmer Hall on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk, given to them by the Queen. Sources said they believed the couple will ultimately inherit Windsor Castle. It is likely Anmer Hall will revert to the Queen or her heir, who would rent it out.
Will & Kate don’t want to move out of KP: Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge, who will become the Prince and Princess of Wales, have no wish to move from their current home Kensington Palace to Clarence House. They have turned the late Princess Margaret’s somewhat dated Kensington Palace apartment into a comfortable, modern home in which their three children are happily settled. It is also the place William considers home because of the years he spent there as a boy with his mother Princess Diana. He has no such emotional attachment to Clarence House.
Who might inherit Clarence House? One thought was that it would be transferred to Prince Harry but his departure to California means that is no longer viable. Another possibility is that it be put in mothballs for Prince George, for when Charles’s grandson comes of age in 2034.
Windsor Castle is earmarked for William and Kate. Charles finds it far too noisy – the castle is directly under the Heathrow flight-path. But as an official ruefully remarked: ‘Nothing is set in stone. These are decisions the prince does not have to make yet.’
William & Kate need a home now: For William, however, things might be more pressing. He and Kate have been looking at senior schools for both George and Princess Charlotte and their focus has been on the west of London. Speculation has grown that Royal Lodge, Prince Andrew’s pile in Windsor Great Park, might be a more suitable residence for the Cambridges now that the Duke of York’s children have homes of their own. But it is unlikely to be made available in the immediate future.
Frogmore House: Which is why William has taken a look at Frogmore House, the Grade I-listed mansion close to the Windsor burial grounds where Prince Harry and Meghan held their wedding reception. The duke and duchess have also looked at Fort Belvedere, a turreted former folly where King Edward VIII signed his Abdication papers, which has been in private hands for some years. It has a pool and a tennis court but is understood to be too small for the couple’s purposes.

Frogmore House *is* stunning, I’d want it for myself tbh, it’s just beautiful. Reply LaraW” says: February 8, 2022 at 9:01 am “Idle, mind-numbingly rich people fighting for multiple castles all while the taxpayers who support them are suffering and dying” You know, I seem to recall some significant historical events that precipitated from the same circumstances you describe. What were they called? The name escapes me. 😉 Reply Jay says: February 8, 2022 at 8:13 am I find it funny that after complaining that they are too “overlooked” at their current KP abode, the Cambridges might be relegated to Windsor Castle, which is noisy and directly under a flight path from Heathrow.
But, really, isn’t it odd that there’s all this talk out in the public domain about who gets what and who lives where after the queen passes? It feels odd and distasteful, like planning someone’s funeral when you are a guest at their birthday party.
I’m not objecting to them making a plan per se; they absolutely should have one, I just find it strange that it’s all bubbling up now.
And yes, given everything going on, it’s particularly tone deaf to be worrying about “which castle” these pampered nitwits will make do with. The idea of Clarence House just sitting there until George is 18 seems particularly wasteful, although I doubt Charles will really part with it.Reply equality says: February 8, 2022 at 8:14 am So “Highgrove is too small” likely translates to “couldn’t legally force out the tenants, they actually expected money for their lease”. So millions will be spent turning Frogmore House into their residence then they will move into the castle? I think the goal has been the castle all along. Hopefully this is their big dream and PC says “nope, turning it into a museum.” Reply L84Tea says: February 8, 2022 at 8:15 am If the Frogmore rumor is true, I can’t help but think that they want it just to spite Harry. And perhaps to highlight that they would be given the big house instead of the servants quarters. It’s so gross. Reply Cessily says: February 8, 2022 at 8:29 am I think Frogmore has been the goal all along.. If she is getting her private estate she is going to make sure it’s as close as possible to PH should he ever return 🙄🙄.. It really is disgusting and very disturbing that so many British are choosing between food or heat and this is the time that they need a third property? Especially if they evict a lease in good standing and all the costs revert back on the people.Reply Woke says: February 8, 2022 at 8:16 am It’s so curious how they insist the Cambridges need a home just after saying that they already have two. Do they realize how tone deaf that sound ? If I remember William and Harry when they went to Eton where living or spending more time in Windsor castle no ? The Cambridges can give up Anmer Hall and just move in Frogmore house or Windsor castle.Reply Becks1 says: February 8, 2022 at 8:39 am And a bigger home! Ft Belvedere, home of a former Prince of Wales and king, isn’t big enough for them, even with the pool and tennis court. like….talk about bad optics. Reply Sunshine says: February 8, 2022 at 9:05 am Translation- it’s not bigger and nicer than the house in Montecito. Amy Bee says: February 8, 2022 at 8:41 am @woke: Three, if you count the house they have at Balmor@l. Reply Cee says: February 8, 2022 at 8:19 am WHY do they need a third house? This is ridiculous. Either keep KP as your PALACE or move into Clarence House. It was good enough for Charles as Heir.Reply dees says: February 8, 2022 at 8:20 am well, I certainly wish I had been gifted this kind of “dilapidated shack” for my marriage (or second marriage).
As for the Cambridges, I don’t get it. Moving with 3 kids is really really tiresome, even when money is not a problem. What is their motivation, apart from being closer to Kate’s family? This doesn’t seem enough.Reply Lurker8 says: February 8, 2022 at 8:23 am It’s interesting to see people in the background of places Kate visits. I notice the people where she’s holding the dog have folded arms. They don’t look happy to be there. Very curious.Reply Rapunzel says: February 8, 2022 at 8:24 am So if Charles remains at CH, what happens to BP? Btw, I mentioned the Frogmore House thing for the Cambridges and got told by other posters that it wasn’t possible. But Frogmore House makes a lot more sense than Ft. Belvedere. I wonder if the eventual separation/divorce plans call for Will to move to Windsor Castle proper while Kate gets Frogmore House. Reply Ainsley7 says: February 8, 2022 at 9:01 am Frogmore house isn’t going to happen. The grounds are open to the public in the summer and Charles wants to open up properties like this as museums. The RR often simply make things up and this is a good example.Reply BayTampaBay says: February 8, 2022 at 9:17 am @ Ainsley7 – THIS! I agree with you 100% – The RR ALWAYS make things up and this is just one of MANY good examples. Lady Esther says: February 8, 2022 at 8:28 am Ha! I called this months ago when the first stories about moving started. They have always wanted Frogmore House, and it looks now like they’ll get it. I knew it.

Reply Amy Bee says: February 8, 2022 at 8:39 am It doesn’t sound like William and Kate will be moving to Windsor anytime soon. However, it will be interesting to see what happens at the end of March when Harry and Meghan’s lease for Frogmore Cottage comes up. I’m predicting that they will not renew it and the house will become Eugenie’s full time.
