I think it’s lousy that people are giving her such a hard time.
She’s pretty, successful, and married into the royal family. That just means she had a combination of natural advantages, luck and work. She didn’t take those things away from anybody else.
If she had gotten the good things in her life by doing bad things to other people, then public ire would be justified.
Same for a lot of celebrities and rich people. Do I wish I had what they have - looks, money, status as a bestselling author? Sometimes, yeah. I’m human.
But I never feel resentment or want to hurt people *only* because they’re fortunate. If it’s a celebrity I happen to feel “meh” about - for example, Kim Kardashian - I ignore them. I don’t have to hate them.
I wish more people would try ignoring people they don’t like, if those people are not actively doing something bad to other people.
