DH is looking at Twitter and it's obviously about Prince William's alleged affair but can't figure out where it's coming from now all of a sudden. Anyone in the know?

Vibe??? How can “be” be autocorrected to vibe??

KangarooKenny · 29/07/2022 07:52

The only pegging I do is of my washing on the line 🤣🤣

TheKeatingFive · 29/07/2022 07:58

Well this thread has been enlightening. I'm sure it's life span will be short.

I agree with LongLive89 reading of the situation

What’s wrong with this?! 😂

I buy this from Sainsbury’s, it’s salty goodness in a block…totally ruined by what I’ve learnt from MN 🤣

Where did this originate from?! I don't follow the royals ordinarily.

Elizabeth the first dished out the ruff stuff according to records. She loved strapping on a big hey ninny nonny and giving Frances Drake the ole cooter slam.

I mean...it's not even a rumour that could be practically true is it?

How would he purchase the pegging equipment?

It's not like he can stroll into a Soho sex shop and I'm pretty sure he's not going on to Love Honey and getting it delivered to Windsor.

I doubt they even have private mail TBH...

So, even that tiny element seems strikingly unlikely.

JinglingHellsBells · 29/07/2022 08:13

All of the gossip sites online have been saying...

Precisely.

Gossip sites.

Bored people who have nothing better to do with their days.

ShirleyPhallus · 29/07/2022 08:17

This is by far the most interesting thing that’s been said about Wills, I’m happy to engage in the bit of mindless gossip for now

beatrice14 · 29/07/2022 08:24

Datalounge (I know they are often completely wrong, but they do get some things right - many were saying that Kirk Douglas attacked Natalie Wood years before her sister confirmed it) is convinced that Meghan and Harry were behind the affair rumours - but they say that only M and H's alleged friends Nicole Cliffe and Giles Coren spread them, which isn't true. The William throwing them under the bus rumour sounds plausible - Meghan may have told some lies (if Revenge is true) but I'm not sure if she and Harry would go that far as to invent an affair.

Taking all the rumours as true, it's not Kate that's doing the pegging but another woman (with Kate's knowledge, because she's not into it/they've agreed he can mess around - which would just be part of the shitty time honoured tradition of (future) kings being unfaithful while their wives put up with it, I guess).

So the mysterious pegging other woman could easily sort the equipment. Maybe someone at Lovehoney spotted Rose Hanbury's address and leaked it to Deuxmoi 😅

TheKeatingFive · 29/07/2022 08:25

Either a highly trusted flunky or she's responsible for it. Hardly rocket science.

IncompleteSenten · 29/07/2022 08:26

He probably is. It's not like royalty has a strong history of fidelity. It's practically the royal sport. 🤷
But it's their choice. His to do it, hers to accept it

Bloody hell, you people are obsessed.

TheKeatingFive · 29/07/2022 08:27

but they say that only M and H's alleged friends Nicole Cliffe and Giles Coren

No idea who the former is, but I don't think there's any relationship between Giles and Meghan. They were part of the same members club, but that doesn't mean they ever interacted socially let alone are 'friends'

safetyfreak · 29/07/2022 08:35

I actually believe this, but only because the independent has ran an online news article today about pegging. The newspapers are under the thumb but this is their way of maybe letting the public know the rumour is true?

Manzi · 29/07/2022 08:36

The supposed original source, Giles Coren

Well, what a wonderful source he is.

Ha ha. They're running the article purely because pegging is in the news.

TheKeatingFive · 29/07/2022 08:40

It's a bit like all those articles suddenly cropping up about Norfolk toffs a few years back, when no one ever found Norfolk toffs remotely newsworthy before 😆

ChangingMyNameForThis1 · 29/07/2022 08:40

I have changed my usual name for this.

This alleged affair has been known about for at least 4 years (essentially when Kate was pregnant with Louis). Two conversations I have had with people who know / worked with the Royals

Conversation 1.
The military. In 2018 I was at a party where various officers (serving and retired) from the Blues & Royals were there. We were all rather drunk. We were saying isn't it a shame Kate & Megan don't seem to get on. One of the officers said it was nothing to do with the wives and it was the husbands not getting on as William was having an affair - quite matter of fact about it.

Conversation 2.
Fashion. I know various people who work in fashion. It's always a big deal to get Kate to wear one of your pieces, as a result you try to get to know her people and particularly her stylist well. Apparently, this takes years and years of nurturing contacts. About a year after the above conversation, one of the people who was on the 'royal team' at the fashion brand my DH was working at, who moves in those circles. said it was an open secret that William had an affair with Rose.

Conversation 1 was in 2018. Conversation 2 was in 2019.

Sorry forgot to say, the Blues & Royals was Harry's old regiment

vera99 · 29/07/2022 08:46

I was at Kite Festival this summer and the wonderful Tina Brown gave a talk on the Royals (who she is a fan of and supports the monarchy) she candidly offered the opinion that there are secrets which if outed would bring down the House of Windsor and that the future of the Royals hinged totally on Kate staying on board and no she wouldn't share the goss !

It would be the most interesting thing about him if true. Good on him.

TheKeatingFive · 29/07/2022 08:50

I do think that Kate throwing in the towel would be a colossal blow for the royals.

She must have a lot of potential leverage should she choose to use it.

Applesonthelawn · 29/07/2022 08:53

I honestly can't believe people are stupid enough to believe any of this for a second. You all need to get a hobby.
