Kate Middleton is far different from an average housewife. People can't expect her to wash or iron their clothes. She is not even laying Prince William's clothes and has someone to do it on her behalf. Hence, several netizens are confused about why the Duchess of Cambridge can't do it for her husband.
In a discussion on Quora, netizens talked about Prince Wiliam's need to have someone to lay out his clothes. It may be an easy task to do, but Kate is reportedly not doing it for the Duke of Cambridge. Anyhow, fans understand the mother-of-three and quickly came to her defense.
One netizen named Shelley Kesselman explained that Prince William and Kate Middleton are a modern couple and in a balanced relationship. Hence, it can be considered "sexist" if she lays clothes for her husband and does other wife duties.
Another Quora user added that the royal family is wealthy and lazy. So, it is not a big issue if Kate doesn't do it for Prince William. Gone are the days that women have to serve their husbands. If they can afford to hire someone who can do it, they all have the freedom to do so.
Phil Hanbidge added that just like the celebrities, Kate Middleton and Prince William have stylists to make sure that they wear the right outfit for every occasion. As they are often scrutinized from the way they dress to their styles, they need a skilled dresser to choose and fix their clothing. "Their attire is scrutinized in the context of fashion, appropriateness to the occasion, ethically (and nationally) sourced, and many other considerations," he said.
In fact, in the recent state visit of Prince William and Kate in Pakistan, the latter has been praised for her fashion and style. She also won people's hearts by "doing her duty and never putting a step wrong," a royal author said, via Daily Mail Online.
Majesty magazine editor Ingrid Seward explained that, although Kate Middleton had a hard time at the beginning of her journey as a part of the royal family, she managed to win people's heart due to her hard work and a few mistakes. The royal tour in Pakistan is even an indication of Queen Elizabeth's respect for her grandson's wife.
Seward also said that the Pakistan tour is "very serious and politically sensitive." So, it is a great honor that Kate Middleton and Prince William were asked to do it. "The Queen has obviously got a terrific faith in their ability to do it brilliantly," she added.
