Article in daily mail seems random at first glance and full of comments asking so what etc but isn’t their a rumour that Prince William had an affair with this woman?!

Kate Middleton 'went to music festival' with her friend Rose Hanbury

The Princess of Wales, 41, is understood to have made her first ever visit to a music festival at the weekend, albeit a very upper-class one at Houghton Hall in Norfolk.

What is sandlewood @LINDAHOAD ?

LadyEloise1 · 27/02/2024 11:03

I see William has pulled out (last minute) of the Service of Remembrance for King Constantine of Greece. He was due to give a eulogy apparently
I hope Kate is ok.

JenniferBarkley · 27/02/2024 11:08

Oh dear. They really should have been more specific in that statement, "personal reasons" will only attract wild speculation. Should've faked food poisoning! Hope all is ok.

Delatron · 27/02/2024 11:47

I don’t think ‘personal reasons’ at the very last minute helps the speculation.

Radyward · 27/02/2024 19:21

Ok not one photo of Kate leaving hosp. Not one leak from the hosp staff looking after her. Porters/ hca's/nurses/ radiographers etc etc. Its all so weird. Like where is she? Loads of speculation online. Its super weirdm plys PW pulling out last minute todaym was she even in hosp? Is it mental health ? Just abdominal surgery. So weird the whole thing.

I should hope not Confused

I hadn't realised that Pippa Middleton went out with Thomas Kingston, Lady Gabriella Windsor's late husband.

LINDAHOAD · 28/02/2024 13:04

yes pippa went out with anyone who had a large bank balance and financial prospects - the top criteria.

What, you mean the sort of person she went to school and university with. How strange!

FeelingHelpless99 · 16/08/2023 21:26

She’s strong and beautiful, yes; but if she ever tried to leave the confines of the Firm there would be a lot of powerful people opposing her.

In what way?

And why not. She's quite a catch herself.

It’s hard to remember my mindset 7 months ago… but I imagine that if K and W divorced, there would be a lot of pressure for W to have the lion’s share of custody of the jids. The withdrawal of security protection, of protection from the worst excesses of tabloid media would also be upsetting

They might have to go and live with grandpa in that eventuality. Doesn't the monarch have automatic custody of minors who are in direct line to the throne?

FeelingHelpless99 · 14/03/2024 07:09

until she actually died, Diana was hounded terribly by the media. continual slut-shaming. though Kate’s older than Diana, and a different personality.

I imagine in the event of a divorce Kate would keep her protection, and have some kind of office… but it might be like all the worst bits of royal life with none of the perks.

A catch 22, especially if you’re a mother.

I feel sorry for all of them.

Looks like the music festival featured a big tent, I imagine they had some trouble pegging it.

Thank you for this

@Peekaboobo
How exactly was Pippa quite a catch?

Prior to her sister marrying into the RF, Pippa was a moderately attractive girl with a boys figure who didn't have a job.

How precisely was she a catch. There a a gazillion girls like her but prettier out there.

Yes, no one wants the slim, sporty, attractive, intelligent girl. They have real trouble attracting interested partners.

She's average looking at best. She's not dive anything ti suggest she's outstandingly intelligent.

Sporty yep. She is that. But that hardly makes someone a special catch.

Average looking sporty girl with an average degree is hardly going to have people knocking doors down.

You obviously move in more attractive circles than me, as she is nowhere near "average" looking in my world.

She is intelligent, she has a good degree from a good uni (sorry, too lazy to look it up), and has recently done a masters and I think had an academic paper published - despite the fact that she has no need to take on a project like that given her wealth.

She's also done some serious physical challenges - which isn't my thing, but again, kind of admirable.

I think she's probably quite impressive.

Anyone else think Rose Hanbury and Alyssa Edwards (from Ru Paul’s Drag Race) look IDENTICAL?

Pippa is so average she only dated losers in between completing sports challenges and had to settle for a man with his own hedge fund and Caribbean resort. Now she's trapped in her Chelsea mansion with 3 children, studying for a PhD and with only the odd beach/ski trip to look forward to. If only she'd been more attractive/more driven/less average!

nothing special in the looks department - and if her books are anything to go by hardly well written - in fact very basic and uninspiring inasmuch as the stores dropped them because they did not sell.

Who cares like father like son Charles had a long affair with camilla they are all inbread from 400 years ago until queen victora they marry their cousins and nices and nephews

LadyEloise1 · 15/03/2024 17:38

Oh my word @Causei the similarity is uncanny !

Allfur · 15/03/2024 17:45

Tittybumbum, what's wrong with females with a boyish figure? That's pretty mean
