I can't see it being about the tights fiasco as that was about Kate not William .

Motorcycleemptyness · 12/12/2022 21:06

Won’t it just be something boring like Wills also likes dressing up as a nazi and has racist nicknames for his few friends who aren’t white, gets naked in vegas hotel rooms with his pals and smokes just as much weed as Harry did back in the day but they made Hazza out to be the wild child so boring old William could be King?

When is someone gonna throw Andrew under the bus pls I beg u Megs no one gives a fuck about the row you had with Kate over tights or how difficult it is to curtesy when ur husband’s uncle is allegedly involved in a sex trafficking ring!!!!!!! Drop the real tea or fuck off.

Rhymes with legging or negging.

Meghan has been caught lying about so many things. The Archbishop of Canterbury even had to issue a correction of one of her wild claims. She is on record, on video, calling herself a fraud and bragging about lying to get a job and ability to cry on cue out of one eye. Her voice is put-on and drips with pretension.

The mystery is how she’s conned so many people.

There is not a shred of evidence that Prince William cheated on Princess Catherine with ‘Rose’ or anyone else. Catherine was William’s only truly serious girlfriend. It is malice and jealousy driving this. The only proof we have of anything is a picture of Harry sitting next to Rose Hanbury at an event that Meghan was not allowed to attend while they were dating. That probably enraged her and conveniently right after that is when the rumor started.

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.

Except Rose Hanbury's real name is not Rose. So irrelevant.

You know they aren’t going to say. It will just be some vague wiffle waffle like the rest of their complaints. Maybe next week Gayle will insist that she spoke to them as has seen all the “receipts,” that will never be shown just like after their Oprah interview.

AndEverWhoKnew · 12/12/2022 21:08

If you could make up a lie about a sibling and they couldn't respond what would you make it?
I'd go for saying they were adopted.

Rinoachicken · 12/12/2022 21:08

@Ivyonafence

Then he better have the proof to back it up and be prepared to show it then in that case - not just drop massive hints. He needs to shit of get off the pot!

And since we’re about a crown a king who’s affair was played out in public - and crown his mistress-now-wife alongside him, I’m not at all sure that the public, or even the CofE really care!

yoyy · 12/12/2022 21:09

I always assumed it wasn't one specific thing but just that the institutions goal is positive pr for William so anything negative must be deflected.

There were rumours of an affair, which I don't believe but it certainly was kept out of the papers here, why?

MarshaMelrose · 12/12/2022 21:10

Why would William be involved with Charlotte's tights to such a degree that the palace would need to leak stories to cover it up?! The mind boggles.
There was a leak, "an insider at netflix", that sort of thing, who said that there were such accusations that it would blow up the family. Maybe Harry is going to detail an affair. I'd definitely be nervous if I were william. And I'd be beefing up my security to $18m if I were Harry. There's more than a pizza boy on a moped coming after you!!

It won’t be anything worth watching.

Bearing in mind that they haven’t had a single positive comment about this documentary so far, and the figures have halved over the first three episodes, I think they’ll be lucky if a few hundred thousand
people even watch the next ones.

Bearing in mind that a lot of the footage of them e.g. being chased by the paparazzi wasn’t actually of them at all, they have lost all credibility.

Documentaries can’t be slow burners.
A documentary isn’t something you get into. If you’re not sold on the first episode then invariably you stop watching and don’t go back.

I think they’ve shot themselves in the foot over this one, and I also think that after this they will disappear out of the media because the media will just lose interest now as there’s nothing more to be said.

Talia99 · 12/12/2022 21:11

The story I’ve heard is that William picked out the Nazi costume for Harry and William went as a ‘Zulu’ with the implication he was possibly doing blackface. Somehow after one day of that being mentioned (and quotes from the shop owner where they got the costumes confirming the Nazi costume was William’s idea) that all got scrubbed from the media, the focus was on Harry’s costume with no mention of any involvement by William and William went as a ‘lion’.

True or not? I’ve no idea but I heard that version years before Meghan came on the scene.

yoyy · 12/12/2022 21:11

it's like when they cut out the photos of the nanny or when abroad they publish Kate sunbathing/smoking etc but not here.

What's so ridiculous is there is nothing wrong with any of these things but obviously from a PR point of view some decide it doesn't fit the image.

RosesAndHellebores · 12/12/2022 21:12

Threats and lies.

What do we know as fact?
Meghan can't keep in with her own family so it was highly likely she'd fall out with someone else's.
Meghan is an actress and knows how to curate the ephemeral
Harry is/was a nice lad but is a bit dim, a ripe candidate to be manipulated by someone a little brighter than him with ideas above their station.

Regardless of station Kate is a class act and married to the future King and hasn't put a foot wrong.

No decent woman would turn-up to her husband's cousin's wedding with a tummy popping at the seams to steal the limelight. A lady certainly wouldn't have done it. It said everything that needed to be noticed. Nobody can kidnme it was a happy accident. I think it was calculated to make someone else the centre of attention.

AndEverWhoKnew · 12/12/2022 21:12

If it's like Netflix' The Royals with Liz Hurley then it's that Wills faked a disappearance and hired an assassin.

Thighlengthboots · 12/12/2022 21:12

No matter what their current relationship I think that’s really shitty of Harry to say that about his brother. He also said royal men don’t marry for love and that William is “trapped”. Imagine their outrage if William had been making veiled barbs to the press like that about them? They’d be playing the victim. He’s showing himself to be the nasty piece of work he is by stirring like that.

sausage767 · 12/12/2022 21:12

FFS the Prince of Pegging rumour is about Harry and Meghan, not Will.

All of H & Ms sniggering about ‘roasting a chicken’. Look that up in urban dictionary.

Theunamedcat · 12/12/2022 21:12

If there was an affair why would Harry hurt Kate in that way by bringing it out into the open? He does remember his mother being hurt by his father's affair right?

Or is it more over who made whom cry over a pair of tights? Because Kate had a baby very close on Harry's wedding and is more likely to have got emotional over absolutely nothing and taken her flowers to apologise which if I'm honest sounds more truthful than meghan crying over tights yes she was a bride but she would not have had to do a thing except dress and say I do in the right places

I was ambivalent towards them as a couple but I'm getting the ick now they are getting Jeremy Kyle style

antelopevalley · 12/12/2022 21:13

@RosesAndHellebores Would a Lady turn up at a wedding wearing an off-white dress?

Georgeskitchen · 12/12/2022 21:14

Whatever it is it better be good and he better have absolute proof if he's naming names otherwise he might find a big lawsuit coming through his letterbox!!

Thanks, I’m taking curatetheephemeral as my next name change.

How do decent women perform pregnancy, out of interest? Do they simply not go to weddings or do their tummies (I assume you mean uteruses) simply not pop at the seams?
