I think that people are just complaining because Catherine does not work as a full-time Royal, nor does she work at any other profession. This then comes across to the public, who are not necessarily huge followers of the Royal family, that she is lazy and does not do anything thus not "earning her money from taxes". I don't AGREE with this fact, but I can see why the public would think she is lazy. I think that if they are not going to be full-time Royals then Catherine should have considering keeping her job for Jigsaw and earning money. Sophie and Edward were not full time Royals until 2002, and it would have probably been longer had the "sheikh" incident never happened. Of course it was said Sophie was "cashing in on her Royal status" etc. but the public praised her for the fact that she earned her own money, as well as did Royal duties. Why couldn't Catherine have done that? I do not know/understand, but it's part of the many reasons why Catherine has been deemed as "lazy".
Molly2101, Catherine did work before her marriage and she's working now as William's wife and third lady of the land. I think the main problem was that a great deal of people didn't like her job at Party Pieces and deemed it an unfit job for a person that went to university. When she was working at Jigsaw, she was hounded on a regular bases and the paparazzi hounding got to her, so she went to work at Party Pieces. The girl was working but people didn't see her doing it, so they called her lazy and then Katie Nicholl started the phrase 'Waity Katie', which wasn't nice or fair to Catherine.
Members of the royal family are always working. Even when we don't see them on public official engagements, they are always in meetings, going over correspondence with their aides and even having private meetings with their charity officials. They do work a great deal behind the scenes too.
I think it's unfair to call her lazy or even tolerate others calling her lazy when even the palace has said that HRH is getting better and is back to work. She's staying in contact with her charities and is about to pay them an official visit. She's doing what she suppose to do.
