Though we’re all familiar with Meghan’s complaints about her treatment at the hands of the British press, many forget Kate was given just as rough a ride. When their relationship first went public, she was hounded by the paps, who would wait outside her Chelsea home and chase her down the street. After she quit her job at Jigsaw when the press intrusion became too much, she was branded a ‘Waity Katie’, content to do nothing until William decided to put a ring on it. Snobbery about her family was rife, particularly concerning her mother Carole, who it’s said some in William’s circle nicknamed ‘Doors to Manual’, in reference to her former career as a flight attendant. While those closest to Kate says these jibes weren’t exactly water off a duck’s back, she never rose to the bait. “She’s incredibly grounded and resilient, and knows better than to concern herself with every little thing that ends up in the papers,” says one insider.
