Rift between William and Harry?

[velveteenwabbit]

Do you think the rumours of a rift between the two are true? I thought the press may be blowing it out of proportion then saw they've disbanded their joint charity, ok fair enough they each have their own families etc... but today on William's birthday Harry and Meghan's Instagram account have posted a very basic "happy birthday to the duke of Cambridge" without any affection at all. Makes me think the rift must be true.

I always thought Wills was too squeaky clean to be true.

At least we've moved on from marrying, beheading, dissolution of an entire religion just to get a divorce eh!!

There was talk on here some years ago about Harry's youthful indiscretions being leaked to cover up more serious ones of William's. I suspect we'll never know the truth, although the Cambridges will never split up, not in a million years!

Well regardless of whether William has had an affair or not, to have an affair is bad but to have an affair with your DW or DH's so called friends is bloody disgusting behaviour.
I had to cut ties with a friend who did this to her DH not once but twice.
It's so disrespectful & the OW/OM are just as much to blame as the cheater. How can/could you hurt your friend in this way?

To be honest, I think in those circles, it's just what you do. It's been going on since Medieval times, where courtiers would be put forward as the Kings mistress. Hopefully if Kate has cut ties and got them to move away it means that shes shown shes not happy about it. I doubt she'll ever divorce Wills, so he is free to do what he likes and still have the happy family image.

You don't need insider knowledge to know Will's was checking out loads of other aristos while waiting along with Kate - just Google! Their wedding was packed with his exes, not hers. Given they both had been together since uni, how had he racked up so many?

It seems all the aristocratic women knew exactly what being a royal involved and were having none of it - they were already posh and had the lifestyle without the tedium of doing the good works and press intrusion. Eventually Wills had to realise that he only had one option left.

I can only surmise that Kate must love him. If she wanted a rich man then she could've done what her sister did - marry a fairly anonymous millionaire and live a quiet life in the lap of luxury. Why would you want the goldfish bowl of royal life over that unless you were genuinely in love? It's not like she had any passion for charitable works before her marriage for which she wanted a bigger platform.

I reckon Kate and her family wanted her to be queen. The aristos weren't up for shaking hands with commoners all day.

Our of interest, does anyone know how Blind Gossip get their stories? Someone upthread said they’re fairly accurate?

Yes why would she sit around for 10 years after leaving university doing nothing at a time when most people are establishing careers if she didnt want to be a Royal really badly? Especially if whats been said here is true and Wills was busy with other women that whole time?

Why on earth would Kate and her family want her to be Queen? I think her family wanted her to be happy and she had loved William since their student days but being so much in the public eye and always having to be on form is not enviable.

I have to say Kate always looks really happy and so does William. Their children are gorgeous too so they are blessed in spite of all the vicious gossip that is spread. Both Kate and William have done well in marrying each other but William most of all.

There's a massive rift between the boys, it's obvious

Does it matter? They are both the product of their upbringing. I'm sure they are both doing the best for their families.

It only matters as we are paying for them.

Pippa definitely got the better deal..marry a billionaire and have fabulous holidays without any judgement about your lifestyle and spending.

Whether the rumours about Wills are true, Kate does look very happy with her lot these days so maybe they've worked things out I think she's really come into her own.

William was very much besotted with Isabella Amaryllis Charlotte Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe, which is why he put off marrying Catherine.

It rumoured that William even proposed,but Isabella however turned William down to marry Sam Branson. Who she was very much besotted with, so much so she was happy to ignore Sam's numerous infidelities.

The fact that this thread is still standing proves that there no Uk injunction, surely?

Cannot say that with clarity but if you cover the RF you kind of need their cooperation for stories; you cannot keep alienating them and expect them to work with you

Sometimes I get on with my brother, sometimes I think he's an arsehole.

Isn't it the same for many siblings?

Why would they be any different?

They're under so much scrutiny and pressure that it must cause issues.

They tried to push the Kate and Megan 'war'. Nobody cared. So now for some reason they think we will care about a made up william and harry war.

Probably true Patroclus

Why would you want the goldfish bowl of royal life over that unless you were genuinely in love?

For the same reason people are desperate to be famous. They enjoy the limelight/attention. Yes 90% of us would do anything NOT to be famous but a lot of people want to be famous/important.

This isn’t true all.

Yes but Kate has never seemed that way inclined @Hithere12, which is why I concluded that she must love him.

IMO Kate adores William, I hope he adores her also. They look happy enough. Since Louis’s birth Kate has glowed. Can’t all be fake!
