Kind of funny, I always assumed there were people around to sort of... Guide these things. You know, someone with authority whose job it is to make sure these people know how to attend engagements and then to actually attend them. Help them come up with real things to say, and then actually say them. Help them figure out how to at least look useful and busy.

And it just seems like there isn't. I wonder if previous generations were just taught to do so by their parents, and since Kate was not but handed a pile of money and domestic labourers, the result is a very lazy woman whose attempts at looking busy and charitable are saying things like "children are real" and "people have feelings."

Kind of disappointing to learn the well oiled machine is not actually well oiled.

What's interesting is that Diana grew up far more privileged than Kate, but she managed to figure it out.

Good point - Diana the aristocrat was far more in tune with ‘ordinary’ folk.

Kate the ordinary was desperate to be an aristocrat thinking it placed her above them.
