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.

Because this thread needs to be settled

William was 13 and in Eton when his mother’s interview was broadcast on Panorama. She didn’t give a flying fuck about the damage she did to her young sons.

MrsSteve · 25/04/2019 17:37

I was shocked when I saw all the stuff on Twitter a few months ago but I fear there is no smoke without fire and it’s probably true, same as all the shit about the Beckhams.

Sad though Sad

Boysey45 · 25/04/2019 17:42

The Beckhams stuff is true, shes been getting injunctions out against women who have slept with David for years. Its common knowledge.

AnguaUberwaldIronfoundersson · 25/04/2019 17:43

Not read the full thread but there is currently an interesting article on blind gossip which could potentially be about about this one and who let the cat out the bag...

MrsSteve · 25/04/2019 17:44

When I saw it all I did think hmm I wonder who has leaked this to take the heat off themselves.

Also - did anyone think that Harry and Meghan must have had a civil service before the church service as a) she is a divorced woman and b) they didn’t say their full names which legally I thought you had to?

Orangeballon · 25/04/2019 17:53

William has always been besotted with Kate, she is fairly drop dead gorgeous.

ajandjjmum · 25/04/2019 17:53

Charles had more than one affair - wasn't he close to 'Kanga' - an Australian designer, at one point?

MrsSteve · 25/04/2019 17:54

The surrogacy rumour is ridiculous.

My god I have too much time on my hands

Interesting

FocusTalk · 25/04/2019 17:57

@Boysey45

I always wonder about the Beckhams. It doesn't consume me or anything, more of a fleeting though.
The rumors around Ramsay were treated with such a pitchfork 'Gordon is a bastard' mentality, and yet David Beckham has had the same rumors and he seems to be teflon.
I actually really like Gordon Ramsay, and he, his wife and kids seem so loving towards each other.

WTFisThat · 25/04/2019 17:58

Wouldn't surprise me at all...

We're talking about Kate here, not Meghan.

FocusTalk · 25/04/2019 18:01

*fleeting thought

PianoTuner567 · 25/04/2019 18:02

I don’t believe the Royal Family could or would ever sue for libel. I can hardly imagine Prince William giving evidence about his personal life in the witness box. I imagine the Palace’s leverage is more around the relationship with the press, future access, cooperation and so on.

OhDearGodLookAtThisMess · 25/04/2019 18:03

I would be very disappointed if it were true. However, I can't think of anything else that would make Kate cut ties completely with Rose Cholmondley, (if , indeed, that part is even true) apart from something relating to her and William.

greenpop21 · 25/04/2019 18:04

did anyone think that Harry and Meghan must have had a civil service before the church service as a) she is a divorced woman and b) they didn’t say their full names which legally I thought you had to?

The CofE allows marriage after divorce. They would not need a civil ceremony in addition to their church ceremony.

greenpop21 · 25/04/2019 18:04

I thought they did use their full names and Meghan's real name of Rachel.

Redcrayons · 25/04/2019 18:04

Not that odd. He's got very very deep,pockets. It would be a foolhardy venture to take the royals on.

MrsSteve · 25/04/2019 18:04

But where is Rose what’s her face’s husband in all this?

MrsSteve · 25/04/2019 18:05

No they said Harry and Meghan, not even middle names.

I'm finding it hilarious that people have somehow managed to turn a story about William's affair into an opportunity to bash Meghan Markle Grin
