Hmmmm - what could he gave done that needed lies told to us ?

Also, if this is also the content of Harry’s book, it’s going to flop massively

Its already a best seller, it's not going to flop

So now the Prince of Pegging rumour according to this thread is about Will and Harry and Edward. Perhaps they do it in a daisy chain fashion, like a sexy Human Centipede?

Nothing the internet makes up about the royals’ sexual proclivities will ever live up to Charles wanting to be Camilla’s tampon.

I am 99% sure that it is all about the family allowing Harry to be painted as the partying wildchild when William was doing exactly the same things. They would close down William's stories and let the tabloids print whatever they liked about Harry. I don't think it bothered Harry at all until somebody came along and told him: 'they did it to you, now they are doing it to me' even if there was no real argument there. It made him go through the events of his life and identify blame repeatedly which speeded up the estrangement we see today.

FWIW, I find it hard to believe that William is a raging lothario. You can roughly tell a man's libido by his aura and mannerisms. William does not have that energy whatsoever. Rose's husband is better looking even if he is an older man.

Yes but as regards the Daily Mail headline, most of the country won't have seen that. The Daily Mail might have a large readership but it's not the majority of the country reading every story they publish. I certainly didn't read it at the time and had no interest in Harry's love life at that point. I doubt I saw it but wouldn't have clicked on it if I had. I can't imagine that many people did. I agree it's racist though and by the time of the wedding it had widely been reported she was mixed race. I'm not sure many people attached much significance to that though beyond the fact they thought it was nice the Royal Family was becoming a teeny tiny bit more diverse, which is obviously no bad thing.

I missed all of that, because I had enough going on in my own life not to be interested in Harry’s love life. I first noticed that Meghan was mixed race when I saw her on her wedding day, and her mum obviously.

Not everyone is interested in following the Royal Family members’ love lives in the magazines or on Twitter.

I will say that when I saw Meghan on her wedding day I really liked her and thought she would be very good for Harry. I don’t know who’s telling the truth now about the feud between the brothers, but, as is mostly the case with siblings, there’s probably been wrong on both sides.

I really, really wouldn't be so sure.

Is that lying to protect W though?

I mean, if W and H were doing the same things and only H reported on, yes annoying and unfair, but not exactly lying. Maybe W is just smarter with it/more discreet?

Unless he’s saying that W did things that H was blamed for, which H didn’t actually do?

I hope he gives solid examples, but I think it will just be more vague accusations.

Well, you need to be tuned into it in the first place which takes practice! My friends say that I am remarkably accurate.

Dying laughing at this.

Seems to be the worlds worst kept secret that Rose's hubby is gay.

There are serious books written about this stuff. Go find one lol 😂😂

Any recommendations?

Do link them. Pretty please.

They are best sellers in the US.
When the student is ready the teacher will appear and all that 😂

Ah. Sterling recommendation.

Are you going to link some?

Nosleepforthismum · 13/12/2022 10:47

I’ll put money that in the next three episodes, H&M continue to waffle on with insinuations but not actually disclose any actual incidents that happened and could be disputed.

Oh, well, why didn't you say so? It doesn't get much more intellectually and scientifically robust than that.

Go on, which ones do you recommend?

ReneBumsWombats · 13/12/2022 10:47

(Side point, but there are quite a few definitions of "bestseller"...)

It happened to me. a photo I’d taken was printed In all the national papers a few years ago. And in the Sun was a whole paragraph directly quoting what I had said about the photo and how I’d felt about taking it. All completely made up. The only thing I’d said to them was . Yes you can use photo but please credit me.

It happened to me too, about a Guiding thing. They quoted me as saying things I didn't say, and used the things I did say out of context so that it changed the meaning completely.

There is not a chance in hell that it'll be anything to do with affair rumours. The trailer will want you to think exactly that but it'll be nothing of the sort.

Will they get any credit for that I wonder?

Nothing the internet makes up about the royals’ sexual proclivities will ever live up to Charles wanting to be Camilla’s tampon.

When I heard ''Tampongate'' I just thought ''Charles and Camilla are so well suited!
Their consummate ease with each other, how they interacted, it just showed two well matched people with slightly offbeat humour.
