The Mommy Club episode 9 recap: Will Her Majesty forgive Ratile?

Will there ever be peace between Ratile and Her Majesty? Well, it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen... for now, at least. The Mommy Club co-stars had some unresolved issues to iron out from a previous episode, but let's just say that the conversation didn’t end well.

A few weeks ago, Ratile accused Her Majesty of being a clout chaser. As expected, that comment wasn’t well received. On the latest episode of the reality series, the ladies met up to not only discuss the matter, but to also find a way forward.

“I thought I should invite you over and have another chat with you. It’s literally another chat,” Ratile told Her Majesty, who was a guest at her home. She explained during a diary session: “At this rate, I just wanna see if between me and Happy there’s a way of moving forward or not so that we can clear it and get it out of the way. Because right now, I’m not sure.”

Ratile then apologised to Her Majesty for what she said about her. But Her Majesty wasn’t moved at all. “I can hear her apologising, but I’m not feeling it. It’s not genuine,” she shared. The newly engaged businesswoman also shrugged her shoulders and was clearly not interested.

“So, I’m apologising for the second time to Happy and there’s still no response. This for me right now is it, it’s the end,” Ratile said. The problem between the co-stars started after Her Majesty shared news about her engagement with Ratile. The news was shared as though it was a secret. However, Ratile was shocked after learning that other co-stars were also told about the engagement. This led to her labelling Her Majesty as a clout chaser.

She asked Her Majesty during the conversation: “I take it we’re still not okay?” Her Majesty was still not willing to entertain her. “I don’t know how to react around you,” she said, adding that Ratile wants to portray a perfect Barbie-doll image and a perfect character from this entire group. “She’s not perfect.”

Things became awkward and it was clear that the ladies wouldn’t find a way forward. Her Majesty even admitted that the energy was off.
