To think the UK media silence on the Prince William rumours is odd

[Absofuckinglutely]

Just that really. No idea if there's anything more than rumour and speculation, but it's all over social media that Prince William allegedly had an affair with one of Kate's friends, but there is a total media silence on it.
Pretty bizarre considering that Meghan Markle barely has to breathe and the media are covering it.

lol Right?? They make sense given his divorce, but I like to think I still have a chance with him.

An injunction doesn't have to be about defamation, I know in some cases the person actually involved in an affair has been gagged from speaking.

No of course not, I was referring to injunctions specifically in relation to defamation. Injunctions against the press are also commonly based on the subject's right to privacy, on the grounds that that outweighs the media's freedom of expression.

However as I've said earlier I personally doubt the Royals could successfully argue that there is no public interest in knowing that the future head of the Church of England has conducted an extra-marital affair.

yeah and on the Blind Gossip is often right - who was Meth Mom??

Oh do get a grip everyone. Giles Coren is a snarky beast. Aristos spend a lot of time shagging each other, when they're not doing good works, killing furry animals to work up an appetite for it or spending taxpayers money. It passes the time. Its traditional and nobody cares. What they do care about, oddly, is we plebs finding out about it and giving rise to 'a scandal'. Weird.

Claudia's BFF is Victoria Coren Mitchell. Victoria's brother Giles Coren tweeted that the rumors were true and that PW did have an affair. Then he deleted it.

Probably bollox but I find the connections interesting! And I can't understand why the feck he would tweet that - true or not.

Because Giles Coren is a vile twat who posts horrible stuff about people, including about his own son, to sell newspapers?!

I think you mean coke mom? And that was never revealed. Not all of their blinds are, but given it's hollywood it's not hard to imagine.

We should have a Jeremy Kyle of the royals. Same shit. Better dental work.

I must say that none of it is true, and his penis definitely does not look like the top of his head.

And Kate is definitely not a stuck up commoner with ideas above her station.

I find the account of Rose Cholmondeley selectively leaking to put the DofC in her place completely convincing. There’s nothing proper riffs hate more than the sort of people who have to buy their own furniture.

You're right it was coke mom - and it was heavily implied it was an actress in a recently brought back comedy show - but hey.. never actually proven despite coke mom running for years... so the idea that BG has a track record of proven accuracy is laughable.

(but meth mom would have worked so much better on alliteration reasons alone)

I didn’t think William had an affair, given his childhood.
But actually all the elements seem to click into place.

1.William is bored, under appreciated after leaving the air ambulance, and has 3 small kids under 6 who take up his wife’s attention.

1. Harry because of the same childhood, and his fondness of Kate «the sister he never had» is furious at William and wants nothing more to do with him.
2. Meghan didn’t go to any public events because she is due to give birth any day.
3. Rose Cholmondeley leaked the affair, to get back at Kate for freezing her out.
4. Kate with her spine of steel ( photo shoot day after giving birth x3) continues to be animated and breezy to deflect attention

I hadnt.actually not heard of this until now.

It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. He's human after all. Royal but human.

Toffs, obviously. Not riffs.

Giles Coren is married . Gosh.

Nobody is saying MM leaked it! They're saying Rose Hanbury leaked it as revenge for being frozen out of the royal social circle.

I know lots of lesser toffs through quite posh hobby. Can confirm lots of charitable works, shagging each other and shooting things.

Will ask if anyone can add anything to rumours on thread.

This has been deliciously fascinating in all sorts of wrong and right ways. I've never thought about any of these things, never come across any of the sources.
I don't care what's going on
I'm loving the intrigue and imagination though!

You lot are ace (and I'm being genuine)

YANBU

Surely this is a Jilly Cooper plot?!

What's the Bradley Cooper rumour?

Is It he's looking for a slightly overweight, stressy 36 year old from the West Midlands? Because if so i might know someone

Man ....

They say write what you know, Glasgow.

Definitely glasgow. A couple of horses, some Ruperts and a Serena or two will liven things up a bit. Bring them on!

People seem convinced there has to be some huge dramatic reason for Harry and Will having, supposedly, fallen out.

Surely MN shows everyday that people fall out with their in laws over the smallest weirdest shit. There's a thread at the moment where someone's going no contact because their MIL gave them too small a helping at Easter Lunch.
