To wonder about the ‘rift’ and Harry and wills

And the ‘rift’ not being between Kate and Meghan at all. I’m not a royalist at all, however quite like both Kate and Meghan (actually really like Meghan and thinks she doing a great job) and wonder whether the ‘rift’ is actually between wills and Harry caused by William reportly having said that Meghan wasn’t suitable, and Harry thinking wtf dB who are you to tell me what to do and just because you are my big brother you don’t get to tell me what to do, we’re not kids anymore,
And Harry stepping out from William shadow, developing his own interests, and confidence and wills not being that keen.

I did think Kate looked at bit rictus jaw-ed in some of those Christmas photos.

I think she just looked quite tired - totally understandable at that time on Christmas Day with 3 kids!

If I was William I'd be a bit concerned my brother met, married and is expecting an baby with someone in quite such a short space of time.

Is that not normal both in those circles and at his age though? If anything William is the anomaly?

I'm beginning to think Meghan has taken Camilla place and the press will do anything to show her/make her the villain.

So where as Camilla has become less vilified in the press and people are more accepting of her, Meghan can now do no right.

PH will always be in his older brother’s shadow in the sense that his brother is second in line to the throne. There ya no escaping that.

Different lives, different circumstances and all in public.

Idid think Kate looked at bit rictus jaw-ed in some of those Christmas photos.

She absolutely did; she looked strained and feet uncomfortable. Her smile is usually open and classic. During that walk, her so called smiles were not akin to grimaces.

katekat383 · 26/12/2018 21:29

pretty uncomfortable

katekat383 · 26/12/2018 21:30

more akin

I hate autocorrect

So the Sussex's are off to Froggers and the Cambridge's are at Anmer (not far away). Wm who will be King keeps a mag pad in kensington palace. All sounds normal.

My relationship with my SILs is very cordial. The Antipodes are just about far enough away to maintain cordiality.

Give the poor ducs and ducks a break.

thebaronetofcockburn · 26/12/2018 21:31

Harry was second in line to the throne, not anymore. At least 6th now and again, Kate is more than young enough to have more.

Ginandsonicscrewdriver · 26/12/2018 21:34

I guess today was stressful all round though given the press is saying they hate each other?

Ginandsonicscrewdriver · 26/12/2018 21:35

No baronet, William is second in line to the throne, Harry was third up until a few years ago.

katekat383 · 26/12/2018 21:36

To clarify, the brother who is secong in line is PW.

katekat383 · 26/12/2018 21:36

second

Why does it matter?

Sunshinecloud6537 · 26/12/2018 21:39

There is something very insincere about Meghan. I have a very bad feeling about her, she doesn't seem to be able maintain family relations with anyone?!

I think she will end up being a huge embarrassment for the royal family.

Ginandsonicscrewdriver · 26/12/2018 21:40

Do you blame her with that family though?! Look at how many people on here go nc, given how they’ve behaved I don’t think she can be blamed for that. (And as upthreead, I’m no fan).

Triglesoffy · 26/12/2018 21:41

Oh do stick it up where the sun don’t shine, Sunshine.

RedToothBrush · 26/12/2018 21:42

Liam and Noel always have a public row when one has a new album out.

Just saying.

I really bet there's no rift cos that'd be fucking boring, wouldn't shift newspapers nor generate interest in the monarchy.

I blame Anne. I mean you've seen what she's like on Channel 4s The Windsors and that's obviously based on real life.

Cranky17 · 26/12/2018 21:42

Why does it matter? it matters to me because I think it’s sexist bullshit and women always get the blame in the press so I wanted to point it out

I think those 2 brothers clearly adore each other. I will be very happy if my sons are as close when they are adults.

Sunshinecloud6537 · 26/12/2018 21:44

Where were all her friends and family at the wedding? She has form for ditching people when they are no longer useful.

There is just too many red flags for me. Team Kate all the way!

Mumberjack · 26/12/2018 21:45

I think it’s all fabricated, of course siblings and their partners are going to have disagreements etc. Not worth getting worked up over.
Remember Diana and Fergie? Had to have them pitted against each other.

Wills would knock seven bells of shit out of Harry.
