[Gogodonu]

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?!

@Kinneddar "The Norfolk Set' (whoever the fuck they are)

Oh, come on! Anyone remotely interested in the current British Royal Family knows who the Norfolk Set are!

The upper classes would never have anything as suburban as a front garden. They have grounds and parklands.

I believe that is why they call it a rumour and not the God's honest truth.

Just because you have doesn't mean everyone has. I see the phrase is so well known it doesn't show a single result on Google 😂

I actually thought K&W had informally split up, and were leading largely separate lives. They often look very distant to each other. I could be completely and utterly wrong in thinking that initially they didn’t want to upset the Queen by splitting up, and there’s been a calculation in high up places that the Royal Family would not survive a public divorce, when Kate’s the most popular working Royal.

I don’t think Rose Hanbury’s son would have been invited to be a pageboy / onto the balcony at the coronation if his mum had been shagging the future King. But who knows, in these upper class circles?

You're clearly looking at different photos/videos than I've seen. More often than not they're laughing and smiling together & some of the looks they exchange certainly don't look like a couple with any marital problems

A different breed is right! 😂

People always go on about Charles cheating with Camilla as she was his one true love etc etc but they rarely mention the other women.

William would be the first of his type not to have extra marital affairs so I'm not sure why some people find the suggestion so outrageous. It's very much par for the course for a man of his particular status.

Isn't the term Turnip Toffs for that group of wealthy Norfolk residents?

I’ve worked in journalism and agree with @Pyri said. We used to call it a “Russian doll” - a story, within a story, within a story.

Yes Norfolk set and Turnip Toffs are synonymous.

As for Rose Matthews it’s considerably less bitchy than calling the little girl Iris (which also goes well with Matthews. Rose Hanbury’s first name is Sarah although that’s quite a weak point, since she goes by the name of Rose. But it’s entirely plausible that Pippa and husband really liked the name Rose - no idea if it’s a family name on his side, but could be - and ok’d it with Kate and the pr guys said oh yes and that’s great because it will throw all the stupid people off the scent of the Rose and William affair.

@Kinneddar "Just because you have doesn't mean everyone has. I see the phrase is so well known it doesn't show a single result on Google"

You google should have come up with about a million references that show clearly what and who they are!

I’m going to get told off for this but the repeat misspelling of prerogative is v annoying (not all misspellings are annoying but ‘perogative’ is very).

Quite right. It’s spelled “pegging”.

people have known of the story of alleged affair for years. That doesn't mean it happened. I dont believe it for a minute

A bit like Beckham, Ferdinand and all those other rich men who had injunctions out then that didn't have affairs?

I have 2 close friends who worked for the royals for years, and through them socialised with a number of other staff too.

They uniformly disliked Diana and all said that William was more badly behaved than Harry, as a child and a teen.

Haha yes spitefulandbadhrammar

Ironic. spitefulandbadgrammar

If any media outlet in any part of the world could stand up a story about an affair between PoW and RH it would have been published by now. The fact that it has not leaves us with mere gossip that doesn’t match with reality:

Hanburys guests at Sandringham, public outing with Royals at church
Pippa calls DD Rose
Hanbury boys roles at the coronation, clearly good chums with George
Body language between K & W which if hiding a split means they are Oscar grade actors

It’s all nonsense

I agree, @VanCleefArpels - and I do think Pippa naming her daughter Rose indicates that it's not true. What we name our children holds significance. Hence Meghan and Harry naming their daughter Lilibet. It's a very clear signal that they wanted to name her after the late Queen, and wanted to honour her work and values.

Good point @Maireas !

You're clearly looking at different photos/videos than I've seen. More often than not they're laughing and smiling together & some of the looks they exchange certainly don't look like a couple with any marital problems

Hmmmm.
It’s not that they are going clubbing separately - lots of couples do that - but more that they’re making a public statement of this.

It’s hinting at a closeness, IMO, within the immediate circle, but not with Rose…I imagine if anything ‘true’ to that end, it will come out…

My dm swore that there was no way Charles would cheat on Diana with Camilla.
We all know how that turned out..
