Prince William and alleged mistress

[allcriedoutagain]

To think this Is absolute nonsense? Surely the press would be on it ??

I thought PW was pursuing that lady who went on to marry Branson’s son? She totally rejected him though and slinked back to Kate 🤣🤣

Princess Diana's family went through trauma of a awful divorce it didn't stop her brother abandoning and cheating numerous times

It didn't stop Diana cheating either

I hope this isnt true nobody should feel the pain of a spouse' infidelity

There was several documentaries at the time about this. The news first broke (in June 2019) about the alleged affair between PW and Rose. It was said to be common place and widely accepted practice in their tier of society. Apparently it's a great privilege for your wife to sleep with royalty, especially a future King. While being accepted, discretion was of utmost importance. TBH the RF are very dysfunctional so it's hardly surprising. It's old news now. There's very little they can do to distract from PA.

" It was said to be common place and widely accepted practice in their tier of society."

I can see that when arranged marriages happened it might be a thing, but would have hoped with them choosing their spouses it might stop!

Yes Isabella calthorpe. I think she preferred the son of a billionaire to a mere prince.

Most current European queen consorts and crown princesses tend to be educated middle class women.

"Isabella calthorpe"

Cressida Bonas' sister!

I can see why so many of the women royals date end up breaking up with them. I think these marriages are as much about who wants the lifestyle as much as they are about love. Maybe I am just a cynic, but I don't think love would be enough to make up for losing the right to be your own person that comes along with a royal marriage.

Can see why Branson's son would be more appealing than William. Same high level lifestyle but with zero scrutiny.

Think Kate puts up and shuts up she is pretty vapid

Giles Coren leaked the story on twitter in 2019 saying everyone knew about the affair in their social circles. He said it happened while Kate was pregnant with their third child Prince Louis. He promptly deleted the tweet but not before it went viral and KP threatened legal action.

Maybe he does think all those things but regardless, to choose to have an affair after having seen the effect on his mother that his father’s infidelity had, I doubt he would do it even if he did find another woman more beautiful, interesting etc. It’s one thing thinking it and another thing to do it

Charles saw the effect of his father's infidelity on his mother - and was still unfailfull.

The DofE saw the effect of his father's infidelity on his mother, and was unfaithful.

Why should William be any different?

and in about 25-30 years there will be the same conversation about how could Prince George do that

That was a pretty terrible marriage. Maybe he just saw two incredibly unhappy people who were forced into a loveless marriage. Or maybe his mother died when he was quite young and, despite what his attention seeking maternal uncle said at his mothers funeral before buggering off to live in South Africa, Wills and Harry have been pretty immersed into the Royal Family. His father and grandfather had affairs as a matter of course. His grandmother has just put up and shut up and been married 72 years as a result, whereas his mother didn't put up with it and died.

He said it happened while Kate was pregnant with their third child Prince Louis.

I thought it was with Charlotte and Louis was her 'peace offering'

PW seems to be turned into this sort of two-dimensional character who represents all the ethical and moral standards people would like the ideal man to have, rather than an actual person who has flaws, odd opinions and is a product of his upbringing. I don't know if he cheated or not, but I see no reason why he would be more or less likely to than any other man.

This.

Honestly, I can't believe people are taking these rumours so seriously.

If anyone bothers to read up on Giles Coren they will see he is an experienced scandal monger.

I wonder how history will view The DofE’s infidelity.
Will all the stories start coming out as soon as he is dead; or will they wait until the Queen dies; out of respect to her?

If people really believe Giles Coren mixes in the same social circles as Kate and William - well that's hilarious.

Giles C is funny but he is an almighty bitchy gossip and would say anything for a laugh or to appear to be in the know.

No one really knows if he had an affair apart from him and the woman concerned if there is such a woman.

Funny how all these stories only appeared in the last year though about his affair when his whole circle seems to have been incredibly discreet for years and years.

Nothing worse than a bitching scandal monger and it seems Giles Coren fits that description admirably.

There have always been stories. It's hardly anybody else's business; whatever happened it was many years ago, they patched things up and were happy again. Lots of marriages go through bad times, some survive and are stronger for it, especially when people realise what they stand to lose.

In Prince William's case I honestly do not believe the story is true at all. It's really nasty for a food writer to take it upon himself to spread scandal, I hope someone does that to him!

Not true. There was that lads holiday where they did a story about that blonde Aussie he was snapped with. They tend to be subtle as the BRF are very litigious 🙄

I honestly don't care either way if he had an affair or not - I'm not a royalist but do read up on them from time to time and had regard for the two princes and Kate in that happy period when harmony reigned and they were doing their best to support good causes and be a modern monarchy. I was always very moved by seeing them walking behind that hearse under the worlds gaze.

So I guess it would be disappointing after seeing the harm infidelity does for William to follow suit and do the same thing. But it's not impossible. As has been said:

• it's deeply ingrained in the culture of the monarchy and aristocracy
• people can easily leave their principles at the door when it's for selfish self gratification - we discuss it all the time on here. There are plenty of people who self justify themselves when they want the attention and satisfaction and guilty pleasures.

I've personally seen it where my ex-H was devastated to discover his father had a 32 year affair and was hugely upset for his Mum. And within just a few years and with little children in tow he did exactly the same to me. His Mum didn't leave his Dad and he certainly was shocked that I then proceeded to kick him out.

One of the worst bits of a royal infidelity is that the personal protection officers would have to know. So I'm sure if you were the wronged party (Kate if it were true), that would hurt and humiliate even more - that they were in on it and probably helped organise it. The betrayal is bad enough.
