I remember that post about the press having a big scoop. I thought it was publishing Meghan’s letter to her father. Maybe it was the William story.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 24/03/2019 15:51

I can’t see this is true at all. They always look really happy together. After what he went through with his own childhood why would he want to risk it for a shag?

More like the women fell out, maybe one of their dc did something awful and the men folk can’t understand the fall out?

beanaseireann · 24/03/2019 15:54

Tbf to the Daily Mail it's actually The Sun that has "the story"
I hope it's not true. There are at least 6 children in the families. Sad

beanaseireann · 24/03/2019 15:57

I credit William with more intelligence. I hope I'm proved right.

EstrellaDamn · 24/03/2019 16:02

But we see them together for, maybe, five minutes a month? Who can't fake a smile for that amount of time?

ajandjjmum · 24/03/2019 16:15

I don't think Kate would be able to fake the love in her eyes as she looks at William, and visa versa.

EstrellaDamn · 24/03/2019 16:21

🙄🙄🙄

beanaseireann · 24/03/2019 16:21

PurplePiePete seems to think, from their post this morning that it's the other gentleman has a new friend.
Perhaps quite innocently DofC was giving support ?

So we can't make opinions based on what we have seen of them and thier interactions because it could be fake but we can pick a part a whole marriage based on an article that says 2 women used to be friends and aren't now! With zero sources or evidence?

An American magazine is leading with this are we meant to believe William and Meghan are at too?

Eurgh, it's such gutter press, can we not treat it as the bile it is? Sometimes it's too easy to forget that this is real people with actual feelings.

Can we get back to the style and beauty elements which drew us in here? I really liked seeing those pictures of Kate and Rose at that engagement (I know, I still clicked on the article Hmm) as it was a beautiful dress occasion.

EstrellaDamn · 24/03/2019 16:54

I'm picking apart nothing. I don't give a flying fuck about their marriages. I'm pointing out that we can't know a single thing based on a quick glance of a couple once in a blue moon.

For all Sarah Chatto fans on this thread. Details about her wedding tiara

I got an email from Harvey Nicks promoting clothing- guess what - Kate's Anne Boleyn style hairbands featured Smile

She’s not faking, she’s got that adoring wife look down pat. He just looks grumpy and tight-jawed most of the time 🤷‍♀️

ItsNiceItsDifferentItsUnusual · 24/03/2019 18:27

Some of the comments on here are so mean spirited and no worse than the 'waity kaity ' shit the media ran at the time.

Maybe she was in no rush? Maybe she wasn't sure she was willing to be in the public eye as Diana 2? Given they met at uni it would have been unusual to have it done and dusted within a few years, especially given his position. Yet there are some who extrapolate from their courtship that she's now some dim wifey who will put up with anything to maintain her position.

And actually do you know what - maybe if I happened to fall in love with a future king I'd wait a few years for a proposal. Doesn't seem like the worst life in the world!

SlipperOrchid · 24/03/2019 18:28

If nothing else, it’s a good exercise to show the highly vocal and often despicable Meghan critics how easy it is to tear up people!!!

mathanxiety · 24/03/2019 18:57

Paper never refused ink, obviously.

HelloToMyKitty · 24/03/2019 19:58

Royals are not above comment?

She did wait for a proposal that wasn’t guaranteed. Very risky when you haven’t held down a full-time job.

UrsulaPandress · 24/03/2019 20:16

Seriously? If she hadn’t married the heir to the throne she should have had a career?

ItsNiceItsDifferentItsUnusual · 24/03/2019 20:27

Royals are not above comment?

That's not even a tiny bit close to what I wrote. Commenting on 'stories' is one thing. Denigrating a royal on a personal basis without any evidence of fact is another.

HelloToMyKitty · 24/03/2019 21:08

No one has said anything like this. However, she does put up with a lot considering William never let her build a career or do anything of remark during their on-again off-again relationship. It’s fair to predict how any trouble might play out given what we know about their past. PPs are merely giving their opinion on the subject. So, not above comment.

UrsulaPandress · 24/03/2019 21:15

But her sister hasn’t had a ‘proper’ career either?

HairyToity · 24/03/2019 21:16

I thought the press were insinuating that William has been having an affair with Rose.

HelloToMyKitty · 24/03/2019 21:22

But her sister hasn’t had a ‘proper’ career either?

She at least tried!

Kate could have been left in a very vulnerable position if William had decided to dump her (as he had once before) when she was in her late 20s.

Does being a girlfriend of a royal mean you can’t have a career or even just a job? Of course not. Even Diana worked at a nursery pre-marriage.

Laiste · 24/03/2019 21:23

Do we know for a fact that William didn't 'let' her build a career? Genuine Q.

My own opinion is: she got what she wanted in the end. She went for it and got it. So the gamble - if there ever was one - paid off.

If it had have gone wrong (the wait/the plan) with the family she has i really can't picture the scenario of her being left forever mourning the loss of William while stuck in some minimum wage dead end job.
