fitted frock to make sure nobody noticed the ight change in shape and that nobody paid any attention to me rather than the bride. And I wasn't even a relly. But guess what, the day wasn't about me.

why would a round belly mean the day would be about you? Can I ask if you are quite old.

Harry needs to shut the fuck up now and stop spreading stupid vague rumours that he won't substantiate. His actions are affecting the next generation, eg George, Charlotte, Louis. Has he ever thought about that?? If not, he should. After all, that's just what he's complaining about 🙄

Karmakamelion · 12/12/2022 21:55

A friend of mine is a journalist. She said 11 years ago that Harry would get thrown under the bus to prevent stories coming out about William

goodbyestranger · 12/12/2022 21:55

It won’t be anything to do with an affair, that’s a straight up lawsuit waiting to happen

Haha it absolutely isn't a lawsuit that William would win. He's be a Vardy #2.

goodbyestranger · 12/12/2022 21:56

William's actions are the issue, not Harry's.

Alighttouchonthetiller · 12/12/2022 21:57

They sound crackers, the pair of them. Like they’ve holed themselves up alone for two years and spent the whole time chewing things over, analysing and misinterpreting and feeding off each other’s sense of grievance until they created some sort of alternative reality which they the present to the world as ‘truth’, which in reality is a stitched together alternative narrative they have created between them.

Harry sounds more and more nuts and I think Meghan feeds it and enjoys doing so.

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?

What century are we in? Decent women, ladies, and ideas above their station 😂

@stuntbubbles well I recall going to a wedding summer 1994 at about 13/14 weeks pregnant and wearing a floaty gauze jacket over my non fitted frock to make sure nobody noticed the ight change in shape and that nobody paid any attention to me rather than the bride. And I wasn't even a relly. But guess what, the day wasn't about me. It was about the bride.

So similar to someone wearing a plain navy frock coat while pregnant at a wedding… She’s hardly doing the Liz Hurley wedding look in the red thigh-split dress showing the leopard-print knickers; nothing about knee-length navy says “this is about ME”.

I don’t understand why people are saying it’s not published here. The rumours are everywhere on line, even cosmo did an article on it we don’t have a restricted press like china.

it all started with a blind plant in the daily beast. Saying one of the royals loved pegging and he was having an affair with a woman who did that for him, and his wife didn’t mind as she was too old fashioned to do it, and it wasn’t his first affair.

firstly it was a blind story, so no names mentioned. Then someone said it was wills as a joke. It then took off. And like any good urban myth, it evolved to just one affair and it dropped the bit about it being sometjing his wife approved of and was about a fetish. which is what was the original leak.

And secondly I’d eat my own liver if not only was wills big into pegging and Kate was all good with him having a succession of women carrying out that service, lol. And it just happened to be little rose who was getting her strap on on 😂

it’s all bullshit but as thread shows folks are literally salivating at the thought.

clearlh there is no affair and that’s now what is going to be announced.

Icouldvebeensomeonewellsocouldanyone · 12/12/2022 22:00

@Tartanshores I know, right?

I have a *Ginger Dd who is stunning, can’t believe people actually say things like that in this day and age actually! Haven’t we moved past that in the 80’s?

I agree. It’s petty, mean spirited and downright harmful to spread rumours and gossip like that. He also knows that William can’t respond which makes harry an absolute coward. He’s isolating himself completely from his entire family. I hope for his sake he knows what he is doing because of in no a few years everything goes sour he’ll have a mountain of humble pie to eat

Quite! I am not a fan of H&M, but how this outfit can be deemed as inappropriate is beyond me, she looks great.

Penaltyshootoutfan · 12/12/2022 22:02

goodbyestranger · 12/12/2022 21:53

It's the fact that William is a cheat and the Palace planted negative stories about Meghan to take the heat off William. William having an affair is a big deal given his parents' history. The rf nearly went tits up after Diana's death but William and Harry elicited so much sympathy that it was given a reprieve, as they were promoted as the future. Now William is just another Charles. It's super odd - given how common the knowledge of William's cheating is among journalists - that posters on MN are still very weakly hoping against hope that it isn't true. It is, and this isn't about tights.

You’re going to be so disappointed come Thursday 😂

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.

I agree with this.
No way would anyone give their child the same name as someone involved with their much loved sister’s husband.

Jennybeans401 · 12/12/2022 22:03

@bakalava 'one bald brother selling out another'! Made me laugh!

Yes it could be anything. Harry is always so evasive, he probably wants us all to guess the worst. Even I'd William had an affair its between him and his wife how they sort it out.

I hate the way Harry is throwing is brother under the bus, Diana would be upset.

wordler · 12/12/2022 22:03

yoyy · 12/12/2022 21:47

@wordler I agree it's a weird relationship but it definitely isn't so straightforward. Why do the photos of W&K getting on Easyjet get released but not the ones on the pj to Mustique? Why do we get stupid stories about thrifty Kate rewearing a dress? Plenty of journalists & news publications knew all about Tigers cheating & the Harvey Weinstein rumours but it wasn't in their interest to publish until it was.

For the travel photos you've got to have a combination of a photographer who manages to get a good photo plus a media outlet who is prepared to pay the price - I think W&K are better about being more discreet with their comings and goings - I think they were burned once on a Middleton family holiday to Mustique when George was a baby.

All the Kate Middleton fashion stories are popular because they are good for clicks for the tabloids and very cheap to report on and can be endlessly repeated again it's super cheap content. A lot is just a vacuous nature of the online media industry - which is fueled by us the consumer - not some massive conspiracy to make the royal family look good.

Reindeersnooker · 12/12/2022 22:04

I do not believe William has had affairs. If there were no rumours of affairs it would be some kind of miracle and unprecedented in the crown prince. That doesn't mean he had the affairs. Kate is not that good an actress and he just doesn't seem the type - far too cautious.

Coxspurplepippin · 12/12/2022 22:04

Penaltyshootoutfan, absolutely - the only problem is, of course, the damage to the lives of the people subject to these ridiculous rumours. Kudos to William and Kate for having the dignity to rise above it.

yoyy · 12/12/2022 22:05

I disagree about making the royal family look good. They can only "survive" by the public being on side & for that they need lots & lots of good PR.

@LadySpencer123 I find your comment regarding ‘a ginger’ extremely offensive, implying that they are not deserving of being with an attractive person.

No, I don’t have red hair but my gorgeous son does.

Ch3wylemon · 12/12/2022 22:08

My guess is it's something they have both done. Harry got press coverage & Wills nada. Something like when Harry got taken to a drug rehabilitation centre for education purposes. Its obviously something that grates and most of us would be miffed too in Harry's shoes.

That said, for someone with a military background, Harry has a terrible grasp of strategy. The palace will hold their peace while H&M flail and kick like upside down beetles.

TrashyPanda · 12/12/2022 22:09

It’s a really shitty thing to do

Honestly there are some posters on here absolutely desperate for it to be true. They don’t even know the history of the rumour. Which was as said a blind piece about a royal who loved pegging and had a succession of affairs with women who did it for him and his wife was happy with it as she didn’t wish to do it herself, it actually called her old fashioned.

someone close made a crack it was William and then a bunch of folks, I guess like the ones on here , ran with it and then made it something else, a single affair and with rose.

the person who made the joke it was William said it was made up and a joke, but folks are just keeping going. Some folks are even pretending they are all in the know and demanding the truth be revealed. It’s actually sick.

yoyy · 12/12/2022 22:10

Also why do people say no one can ever "reply"
to Harry's claims. Where do all the stories by Royal sources & insiders that dispute Harry's version of things come from?
