Kate Middleton mocked by Prince William's friends with rude 3-word comment

ok.co.uk:

Kate Middleton, now honoured with the title of Princess of Wales, remains endearingly down-to-earth to those in her inner circle, including Prince William and her own family who lovingly call her Catherine or the familiar Kate.

Yet it has come to light that before she became William's wife, a rather unflattering pet name was coined by his 'snooty' friends, poking fun at her mother Carole Middleton's past occupation as a British Airways flight attendant.They would slyly say "Doors to Manual" in reference to the Princess, as Royal expert Katie Nicholl divulged on the Vanity Fair Dynasty podcast.

Katie highlighted Kate's dignified response: "To her full credit, Kate never rose to it - the snootiness of the upper classes levelled at what they called the en-masse Middletons." There's no doubt that the mean-spirited moniker wasn't water off a duck's back, but an aide confided to the Sunday Times Magazine that Kate, resilient and composed, never allowed it to rattle her.The aide recalled: "It was never water off a duck's back, but she has extraordinary strength of character and resilience.

I've never once seen or heard of her losing her temper." Since marrying Prince William 12 years ago and settling down to start a family with their three kids, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, Kate Middleton has become an essential part of the Royal Family and is on her way to becoming Queen consort.
