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

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.

Maybe because there are far, far ore important things to think, care, read and write about. They are people. Sometimes people have affairs, sometimes they don't. Really could not care less.

goldenchicken · 25/04/2019 16:34

Nope. It never happened.

As much as you want it to have. Hmm

I’ve just googled this Rose. William has always come across as a bit push and dull, but to have an affair with a clone of his wife seems a bit of a boring waste of time really.

@bethy15

I feel sorry for her actually as she obviously must love him and has devoted herself to him. You are right, she does appear to have just moulded herself to suit. She’s very attractive and smart. Seems a shame. I actually know a couple like this. The girl hung around for years whilst he was playing the field. He actually dated my best friend. He was a complete asshole with loads of money. Any time he had a fight with my friend he’d say ‘ I can dump you anytime and just go and marry xx. You know she’s in love with me and out families are best friends so it would be easy,’ That’s what he did. She got her man but at what cost?

TheCatDidSay · 25/04/2019 16:36

Wrong women... Kate fell out with Rose as Rose discovered and thus was no longer as secret as Kate hoped it would be kept Wink Harry is fumming at his brother. The end Grin

TakenForSlanted · 25/04/2019 16:36

All of us would go there, I feel he wasn’t married, all of us

Categorically not! And I say that as the woman who was once standing outside the office with the smokers and overwhelmed by sudden attraction to one of my many bosses. The realisation that I was even capable of such feelings remains a shock. I'm still dead certain I wouldn't.

PickAChew · 25/04/2019 16:37

Giles coren is known for some pretty outrageous behaviour on twitter so I wouldn't take his deleted tweet as anything concrete.

BertrandRussell · 25/04/2019 16:43

Ah yes, Giles “collection of vintage gollywogs” Coren.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 25/04/2019 16:43

Why do you care.

Well we all care or we wouldn't be on this thread,so That's just a silly statement

Of the rumours I can't see it myself. They seem deleriously happy.
However at the end of the day. We dont know the Royals. We don't know what they're like behind closed doors or what personal problems they have , do we. They are human after all.

Humpy84 · 25/04/2019 16:44

@sonjadog massively funny

Quintella · 25/04/2019 16:45

Giles 'my holiday with my five year old daughter was the sexiest holiday ever' Coren.

bellinisurge · 25/04/2019 16:45

Surely the fact this silly thread is going on and on should help you twig that there is no superinjunction.

happyhillock · 25/04/2019 16:47

It's well known Prince Philip has had quite a few affair's, as for Charles and Diana they were so unsuited for one another it was never going to last, it's just a pity they didn't divorce before they had extra marital affair's, i felt sorry for William and Harry when it was all over the paper's, shame on both Charles and Diana,

pisspawpatrol · 25/04/2019 16:49

Well there were plenty of hints in other countries about another affair two years ago, so it wouldn't surprise me if he had played away this time.

PCohle · 25/04/2019 16:49

It’s worth remembering here that there is a vast difference between what is in the public interest and what interests the public.

Whilst I think he rumours are probably gossipy shite, I do think it would certainly be deemed in the public interest to know that the future head of the Church of England was conducting an extra-marital affair.

Mummyoflittledragon · 25/04/2019 16:51

Averyimportant
Interesting maybe that is the real reason the brothers fell out.

I don’t agree that an affair would be the end of the rf as stated by a pp. They’re practically all at it.

after the pain and damage infidelity has caused in his life do you really think hes off fucking other women

This x 1000.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 25/04/2019 16:53

Shame on both Charles and Diana.

For what getting divorced. I'm no particular friend of old Charlie's, but anyone can have a failed relationship.

SerenDippitty · 25/04/2019 16:54

He would not want her going through the same as Diana.

He’s probably arrogant enough to believe it would never come to that anyway.

theycallmebabydriver · 25/04/2019 16:54

But William is unlikely to be king in most of our lifetimes.

Bloody hell, I'm 36, even as an unwashed pleb I'd hope to outlive Prince Charles! (Already beaten Jesus)

BertrandRussell · 25/04/2019 16:55

“it's just a pity they didn't divorce before they had extra marital affair's,”

Well, Charles couldn't have done really, without a time machine.....

Humpy84 · 25/04/2019 16:56

Look I waited for my husband for the better part of my twenties and he is not royal with a duchy.

I think much is made of this waity Katie thing. As if they were going to get married before 29.

Has everyone forgotten that he landed his helicopter in her parents backyard while they were all home ? He was probably pulling out all the stops to keep her going. Every conversation about commitment was probably laced with a Cartier watch, a high profile invite, a romantic trip away to Swiss alps with panoramic views from chateau etc etc etc. He was probably like, “In June I finish this helicopter training and then We can move in together and be unofficially engaged” and then he probably strung it out with more promises. There would have been so many opportunities to prove his commitment, like high profile events, meeting Queen, royal weddings etc etc. It takes two to tango.

pelirocco123 · 25/04/2019 16:57

I find it odder that people are so obsessed with the lives of people they dont know

Humpy84 · 25/04/2019 16:58

Plus if it didn’t work out it would’ve taken her five minutes to find someone else eligible. She probably had men waiting in the wings.

Ali1cedowntherabbithole · 25/04/2019 17:01

I'm very tenuously related to the Husband of the Wife who has been banished. In a 4 generations ago, twice removed wrong-side of the bed-clothes sort of way.
