Who cares let Diana rest in peace that enough already. Team Catherine princess of Wales beautiful woman sending prayers and love for future Queen and beautiful family 👪❤ 💙♥ 👪 ❤

Harry brings up the sad part about Dianna too much. It's not healthy

[@barblowe9215]

Her name is Cathrine, Princess of Wales! She has earned this title and respect! Why can't you all get her name right?????????

I'm with you 100%

Stop comparing the two princesses ,they are different women from different times

Exactly 👍

She is such a trooper! Fantastic how she entered into the royal family, outwardly at least - seamless

[@ogathingo8885]

Both Princess of Wales have their own special characteristics, the difference with current Princess of Wales is that she comes from an intact family, she is well educated, mature and well grounded person. When people called her” waity Katy”, that did not make her whining but took their time to ….

[@tjcampbell8088]

Really if kate was well educated and when she makes speeches in public she mumbles or stutter her words when making speeches I don't call that well educated

The Princess of Wales Princess Catherine ❤❤❤ Always Classy and Humble. 😍🩷 No drama, No pretensions.

[@deeleym2740]

Why is it ‘Kate Middleton’ , but her predecessor was ‘PRINCESS Diana’? Catherine, the Princess of Wales is also a Princess…who deserves the same courtesy as PRINCESS DIANA. It’s ‘The KING’, ‘The Queen’, The DUCHESS of Edinburgh’, - even the very American ‘Duchess of Sussex’ , ‘LADY Louise, ‘PRINCESS Anne’, but for the Princess of Wales it’s…..KATE MIDDLETON???? Why??!!

[@francinegreenway8451]

Lady Diana

[@evamaria7298]

I agree it should be Princess Catherine or at least Princess Kate for short

[@1964mtm]

She is not Kate and why people still refer to her as Middleton and from marrying PW she isn't. Her name is Catherine, Princess of Wales

[@JaneDoe-te3uw]

Princess of Wales is a title. It was held by Diana Spencer before and now by Kate Middleton. So she is now Catherine Princess of Wales. Some people just don’t want to call her that either by ignorance or envy.

[@chriswatts1680]

Exactly pure ignorance from the media etc

As an Australian, let me apologise for those DJ’s. They are Grub’s and believe me we for the best part we Australian’s are very supportive of the Royal Family. Unfortunately there will always be this horrible part of society that don’t respect others and there privacy.❤️🇦🇺

[@lynettefinnigan9540]

True, her mother left, her father did dote on her for the little time he spent with his kids, she was jealous of his new wife (even though she tried to befriend her, she only got friendly just before she died, just as she only just made peace with her own mother just before she died), she was even jealous of her own kids and them liking their nanny..... she definitely had issues, which sadly, Harry seems to have inherited from her.

Catherine is gorgeous, and alot like Diana. So, that being said....Di paved the way for RF to interact w/ ppl the way Di & Catherine both were/are do

She’s even more refined than Diana .. I really like her.

[@sharonmccoin5262]

Princess Catherine is fabulous! She’s never put a foot wrong. Harry has been instrumental in poor Diana’s dark secrets being brought to light. He needs to STOP DINING OUT ON Diana and let her rest in peace.

[@swissuz]

You are not helping Catherine lose that "Waity Katey" nickname by continuing to rehash that story for the millionth time. Her name is Catherine, Princess of Wales. To headline this piece comparing "Kate Middleton to Princess Diana" is a slap in the face to her. But, it's really what we've come to expect from Access Tinseltown. The tarnish needs a little polish! However, Catherine would never complain because she has class. What's truly incredulous is the media scrutiny that Catherine had to endure while she was recovering from surgery! The world knew she needed time. However, the media laid the blame at her feet when she provided that much-demanded proof. The news networks should have done their job and vetted that photo before it was published. How many unprofessional photos are submitted from random sources that get published? Most likely more than the media fesses up to! That furor that took place was cruel and beyond stressful that she had to provide yet another image, this time a video. Tragically the Sussex squad is still dredging up trouble by claiming she is still missing and even more likely dead. Who does such a thing? If they are supporting Meghan, she needs to stand up for integrity and distance herself from these crazed lunatics! What is irritating, is the byline is implying a comparison of the two princesses of Wales, when you've perpetuated the maddening comparison between Catherine and Meghan.

Princess Diana had everything against her yet was able to recognize within herself an inner determination to survive and strength to overcome. She was everything a Princess and Public Figure should be, she did so much for so many people and suffered so much for it in the end. Princess Diana never let us down. May she rest in peace.

[@chriswatts1680]

Same as Catherine

[@rchia1023]

Stop calling her Kate if you hv any respect for her. Are you one of those that don’t like her? She is the Princess of Wales and the future Queen. Please be respectful and address her properly. And Prince William, not just William. He is the future king, damned you. You don’t respect them, do you?

[@bartproost1977]

Of course Catherine has polled - again - as the most popular royal today. 76% approval rating in the uk.... She is beautiful, kind, warm, lovely, strong and - most of all - relatable and 'one of us'. In every way. She is loved and people want the best for her. She is the star of the royal family. We all wish her the very very very best and a full, gentle and speedy recovery. ❤️

[@rchia1023]

Who is this woman? When she kept saying Kate Kate Kate, I knew already that she is not connection with RF at all. Probably gathered the infos from AI or internet and made it into her own🙄 Am leaving this talk, I can’t take her stressful and sharp voice any longer.

You need to let it go. She is dead. Has been for almost 27 years. Let her RIP

[@Bluemoon_75]

Catherine Princess of Wales is doing a much better job than Diana. She is a dedicated wife and mother. She has served our country well. She is loyal and understands duty and service. She is more beautiful than Diana. I also believe Catherine is a fashion icon, her style has evolved and she has eclipsed Diana. Diana cheated on Charles, first. She broke up 2 marriages. She became pregnant with Oliver Hoare child, he was a married man. She aborted it as she was married to Charles. She called over 300 times. His wife called the police. The calls were traced to Diana. They were going to charge her for harassment. The charges were dropped. Prince William and Catherine have always remained private. They do a wonderful job sharing the children. Their privacy has always been respected by the media in the UK.

[@rchia1023]

Princess Catherine!!! Prince William!!!

[@mqueensb27]

the comparisons of Princess Diana & Princess Catherine both of Wales needs to stop because of many differences between both women different circumstances like different time, different spouses & different upbringings not to disparage Princess Diana but she didn't have a very happy upbringing because of her parents where Princess Cathrine did & Princess Catherine had the luxury of knowing full well what was expected of her & more support of the Royal Family learning from previous mistakes with Princess Diana !!! & Princess Catherine had another luxury of years of a relationship with Prince William while his mother didn't & he made sure the tragedy of his parents relationship will not be repeated with his own!!!! there maybe a lot of simmilarities but there also a lot of differences!!!! so how about everyone let them live their lives with the past haunting their futures!!!! unlike the others in monteshito who crave the drama & the comparisons!!!! Princess Catherine is her own person where meagain is a narcissistic sociopathic turd who craves the comparisons & the attention she obviously isnt a seure person who needs to emulate others & who is also a very jealous person who thought she would be top dog which both Princess Diana & Princess Catherine are not !!!! different women, different times & different actions!!!! GOD BLESS Princess Catherine for a speedy & full recovery & then they will be the next King William & Queen Catherine!!!!! & raise their children to help them become the next generation of self adjusted Royals!!!!! I think that's more important to them, happiness & health & good work for the Monarchy,Great Britain & its Commonwealth!!!!!!

Access Hollywood is ignorant of the proper stylings of Royalty. They don't understand hereditary titles or peerage titles. The ranking of such titles. They are vulgar and crass. No manners or decorum. If they have Royalbexperts why do they get it so wrong. They think Royalty is a celebrity. God help us all. Some Americans are so ignorant

[@brigidconroy2111]

Poor Diana was packaged by her family as the perfect PoW but she had no real support Worse, she was a romantic naive 19 year old who had been raised in a wealthy family Catherine on the other hand was allowed to develop a friendship and fall in love without the press’s knowledge Once the press found out William was there to help deal with the press’s intrusiveness Their break-up helped them realize they were meant to be Ultimately Catherine was older than Diana and had a supportive partner who loved her William learned from his mum He chose someone kind and empathetic like his mum, fortunately he was not as insecure as his dad William is proud of Catherine’s abilities and her mothering of their family She has given him 3 children and the extended Middleton family Diana gave us William and a more empathetic royalty Catherine is focusing on mental health and early childhood care She is also a wonderful support for William ❤❤❤

People can't stand the fact that Catherine is just a nice, caring, naturally good hearted person..... and someone like MM comes along, is the polar opposite, lazy, greedy, selfish, demanding.. even Harry knows it!!.. "what Meghan Wants, Meghan Gets!!!"... He said it, he knew it, and he allows her foul behaviour because he's a spineless whimp that hasn't got the guts to stand up to her and tell her to act like a human being instead of the Hound from Paskeville, as her actions portray her!!!!

[@mariedowdles2498]

Prince William learned from his parents divorce. He wanted to be sure that his bride knew what all the downfalls of joining the RF were. He loved her but didn't want to make a mistake. He didn't want to hurt her so he kept waiting till he sure. Only then did he propose, they took 10yrs. One thing QE 11 respected of Catherine was even when they split up, Catherine never spilled the beens. Catherine would never say anything against Prince William because she loved his to much. This was something that the late Queen truly respected.
