I think this article might have been (semi?) authorised, by KP.

Which would make DW the Cambridge’s Omid Scobie. Which is pretty tabloid all round.

I wouldn’t blame William for wanting to get his side across, though?

What do we think?

That is the weirdest thing I’ve ever read, and I used to follow Owen Jones on Twitter so that’s saying a lot.

And he'll act as an immoral puppet for whoever pays him the most.

I don’t think 1000 posts is enough for us to discuss the morality of tabloid journalism.

The whole “puppet”, mouthpiece, secret spokesperson role is interesting, though. Especially when it’s done for career reasons.

It’s also been reported this week that PW is now shunning Tom Bradby, because he deems TH to have acted as the Sussex mouthpiece.

So quite a theme developing.

OMG, how desperate is this !

DW is bff with Knauf and his boyfriend. With his pathetic PR stunts of late, I wonder how W has not fired him yet.

In the meantime, Piers Morgan claims that the RF has been sending him thank you messages for harassing a pregnant woman.

None of this is a good look for the RF. Good grief !

@TerribleCustomerCervix

That’s why I am playing cherchez l’homme.

Knauff is as the name I couldn’t remember @Mummy195

Is he still working for the Cambridges then?

After repeatedly alleging that Meghan drops friends on the turn of a dime...they're now blazing in lights that Will's dropped a good friend of 20 years for refusing to side with Will against that dropped friend's other long standing friend, Harry.

They make a point of how "emotional" Will is as a person? What a strange thing to emphasise, is that meant to be a good thing? Is that something they think us commoners are into nowadays?

The article is very odd.

Got the dm clicks though!!

The mail is such a multi-continent behemoth now, it takes a lot of clicks to make any difference.

You know that Dan is known as Poundland Piers ?

Hadn’t heard that one, but I’m not a fan, I’m just interested in what the hell inspired this article.

What do you make of it @TheSpottedZebra ?

I am sure that many articles are authorised by royals but not sure about that one.

He's basically preaching to the choir, isn't he? Slagging off H&M, saying nice things about the Queen and Kate, all in the DM.
But the tone is obvs wrong as he's only got 623 comments. An article slagging of Meghan alone would be in the thousands by now.

(Tone wrong for the DM I meant. It is VERY overwrought, isnt it?)

😏

What a mess it all is.

If you’d told me in 2016 of a future split &asked me to predict , I’d have expected Bradby and established media journalists to stick with the future King & tabloid types to follow Harry.

That’s why I wondered if it was a public pledge of allegiance, or something like that.

Maybe in time it will all become clear. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh it's certainly that! But he's left talk radio and is now at the Mail, and the soon to be (right wing) GB News. Of course he's on the side of Will etc and anti- H&M.

Bradby I have o idea about. They weren't friends friends anyway I'm sure, just useful acquaintances. And he - TB -used that usefulness to secure the Oprah thing for itv, knowing that a) that was a couple, and b) itv is younger and less establishment.

Oh he’s left the radio too? Was just watching a couple of his YouTube radio clips and realised he was the guy so involved in the Johnny Depp court case.

When is this GB news coming? I’m all geared up to have a good rubber neck at that.

When a pregnant woman tells multiple different lies in one interview, accusing her of lying about an unproven claim made in the same interview isn't "harassing" her. Nor is her being pregnant relevant to anything. If someone goes out of their way to create drama while they're pregnant, they don't get to cry "But I'm pregnant!" when faced with the obvious consequences.

The time isn’t right for that article. I’ll be surprised if it’s authorised.

Can’t see KP agreeing to the following

‘Dysfunctional & odd royal family’

‘Your father was often absent and distant. Given the deep-rooted bitterness you and Harry both feel about the way Charles treated your mother, the paternal relationship was understandably strained for many years.’

Without the above may have said it’s authorised but I doubt it. Unless it’s a double bluff

Mummy195 Meghan went on tv on Oprah. While pregnant. That’s her own call & checking the veracity of her claims isn’t harassment when she’s the one that did the interview in the first place.

Sorry - The tone (not time) isn’t right for that article.

Nah that’s just an arselicking piece, no more, no less. I’d absolutely guarantee William wasn’t giving his personal thoughts or the palace, it’s just an arselicking article by someone trying to curry favour.

What a weird "open letter"

I don’t think for a moment that was written with the collusion of KP. There’s nothing new in the letter; everything in it has already been said endlessly over the last few weeks. I could have written it myself.
The more likely scenario is that things have gone a bit quiet with H&M and the Daily Mail and other outlets and trying to find new ways to re-hash the material they already have. Some of them are dragging out old stories from three years ago.
But never fear, H or M will no doubt be back soon with more pronouncements.

MM has never said 'But I'm pregnant', where did you read that the Fail?

PM has not called anyone to account. He is outright calling MM a liar. He has been writing article after article about her, he is on a tour with every right wing media who will let him on to call her a liar. He tweets everyday, and even attacks anyone who is sympathetic to her. That is stalking and harassing. And he has been at it for 3yrs now. Everyone can see it, even his fans.

If anything he has now proven what MM said to be truth. He is basically an attack dog for the RF.

Yes @RickiTarr he still works for KP. And I imagine he is one of the bone of contention between H and W.

In your above post you say ‘harassing a pregnant woman’ about people questioning her version whilst pregnant , that’s why people are saying that, it is you that made that silly statement .

I shouldn’t think W would be happy with this and putting the idea out there that they’re waiting for Harry to return to the fold. Romantic Mills & Boon nonsense.

Also don’t expect there would be a place for H returning after this, maybe before the Oprah interview, but not now. Won’t be trusted and they know the truth is that Harry doesn’t like not being important and that can’t be changed - he isn’t, as line goes through George now.

No way back for Harry.
