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

I so hope the affair thing isn't true. I think if it IS the Markles will keep it in their arsenal as something to hold over the RF. This episode will probably just be referring to something dull/petty.

So hard to imagine William having an affair.
He's so drippy and unmasculine.

Pippa named her daughter Rose, and Pippa appears to be close to the Princess of Wales.

It would be a strange choice of name if William was indeed cheating on his wife with a woman named Rose.

I'm inclined to believe it is to do with the bridesmaids' tights. It isn't a particularly edifying story, regardless of who made whom cry. I think Meghan was unrealistic to think that the Royal Family would order the press to issue a 'correction' over such a silly story.

But then, maybe there is something more interesting behind the headline.

Naming the baby Rose could be a way to throw people off the scent?

He's the future king. He could look like a potato that's been left behind the veg rack for the last 20 years and still have women queuing up just to touch him.

True!😂

Uurrgh all the pair of them ever do is imply and allude to things that have supposedly happened to try to ensure that there is lots of negative speculation around the RF - while they try to look like the poor victims. It's so tedious. If they have anything concrete then they should just go ahead and say it.

The alleged affair with Lady Rose whatever her name is

Why would Pippa do that to her child ? Secrets don't stay buried, also Pippa is in a better position than Kate money wise her net worth is higher so there can't have have been a financial motive . There might have been an affair but that Rose woman wasn't the ow.

This thread will be pulled because all media outlets have had gagging orders re Williams affair. Top law firm was involved in the superinjunction. Known across media

Guitarbar · 12/12/2022 20:29

They're so hypocritical. They harp on about how disgraceful the press are (which is true tbf) and how the media intrusion made them feel unsafe, yet are inviting speculation and increased press interest to his brothers family, including 3 young children because Harry is having a tantrum because he didn't get his own way. Why don't they focus on their story instead of dragging his family. I'm sure his mum would be ashamed.

Rose wasn't the ow though. Some innocent woman having her name dragged through the mud seems very wrong.

Who cares though, really? I mean really and truly who cares, it's no one's business except for his and Kates. Harry keeps going on about the media not respecting his family's privacy but here he is stirring the pot. Ew. The use of footage from his grandfather's funeral playing the same time as they said this was also tacky as fuck.

MakeItADouble2 · 12/12/2022 20:31

Yes the Palace courts the press. You keep quiet about William's affair and we will let you go on about Megan

I won't play into their hands. They want you to watch it so you can find out the answer but it's just not that intriguing. One bald brother selling out another one. Quite frankly, warring pairs of brothers are as old as time as evidenced in Bible stories and Roman legends.

Now all I can picture is the Mitchell brothers having an argument: “you fed my missus to the wolves, Grant”

Coxspurplepippin · 12/12/2022 20:32

CharityShopChic · 12/12/2022 20:07

You really think they are going to lay it out specifically? Their MO is to make vague accusations and let everyone speculate.

Quite - it's all insidious innuendo and insinuation. Striving to be as damaging as possible and basically doing exactly what they're accusing others of doing. What a way to make a buck.

StickyCricket · 12/12/2022 20:32

They won’t clarify what exactly he means.

I was hoping that after this and his book there’d be nothing left for them to say, so maybe we’d have heard and seen the last of them by end of Feb 2023.

But now I think they’ll hold some things back for the next documentary in another year or so, which will cover the “backlash” they got for this documentary - which is why I’m desperately hoping the Royal family refuse to comment or even acknowledge it.

Perhaps that was why H&M left the Jubilee early? The Queen got the hump and screamed at the pair of them to “Geh outta ma pub!!!”?

PicturesOfDogs · 12/12/2022 20:34

I swear to god, if after all this it’s just lying about who made who cry at a bridesmaids fitting I’m going to be so mad.

I’m watching for gossip, not stuff we already know!

Yes! I was rooting for them and absolutely here for gossip and drama but it’s been desperately dull so far and if it’s just the flower girl dress story AGAIN I’ll be raging – I want proper dish-the-dirt stuff, I want tea, I want receipts! I want to picture Kate raging round the palace and some proper old-school tabloid scandal headlines!

Apparently protocol demands little girls wear tights at weddings but Meghan didn't want her to wear tights. Kate made Meghan cry allegedly

Vinvertebrate · 12/12/2022 20:40

I’ve no idea whether the pegging rumours are true but I suspect Kate - unlike Diana - is well-versed in the realpolitik of being married to the Prince of Wales. It’s quite possible she doesn’t gaf who (if anyone) potato bonce is shagging.

Don’t forget Charles’ mega-tantrum over the audacity of anyone expecting him not to have a mistress.

I don’t think the aristos see fidelity in the same way as we mortals. 🤷🏻‍♀️
