Kate Middleton ‘Hurt’ After Prince William’s Friends Ridiculed Her with ‘Cruel’ Nickname, Royal Insider Says
Kate Middleton, known for her down-to-earth character, was once given a cruel nickname by Prince William’s “snooty” friends. Despite facing personal challenges, including a cancer diagnosis and ongoing chemotherapy this year, the Princess of Wales has remained steadfast in her commitment to her family, caring for her husband and three children.
As per OK! , Kate Middleton was mocked by Prince William’s friends and frequently encountered ridicule due to her mother Carole Middleton’s former employment as a flight attendant. William’s friends would slyly say “Doors to Manual” in reference to Kate, according to royal analyst Katie Nicholl. However, Kate always managed to rise above the hurtful jokes.
Appearing on Vanity Fair’s ‘DYNASTY’ Podcast, Nicholl said: “To her full credit, Kate never rose to it – the snootiness of the upper classes leveled at what they called the en-masse Middletons.”
One royal insider acknowledged that Kate was “hurt” by the cruel nickname but never showed it. “It was never water off a duck’s back, but she has extraordinary strength of character and resilience,” the source told the Sunday Times Magazine. “I’ve never once seen or heard of her losing her temper.”
William and Kate overcame their friends’ derision to tie the knot in 2011 and welcome their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, into their family.
Following her marriage to Prince William, Kate was once asked by a student about what it’s like to be a royal during her presentation at the Chelsea Flower Show. The Princess of Wales gave an honest reply, stating: “You have to work hard.”
This summer, Kate will be spending her vacation at Balmoral with her family and other members of the Royal Family. As the monarch usually invites his family members to unwind at the Scottish castle during the summer, William and Kate are anticipated to join King Charles and Queen Camilla.
Despite the challenges and past cruelties, Kate Middleton continues to demonstrate resilience and dedication to her role and family. Her ability to handle adversity with grace remains a defining characteristic admired by many.
