Unpopular Opinion - William and Kate

[EdaYildiz]

Don't come at me, I'm sharing my unpopular opinion because I want to know what you all think but just don't see a spark between William & Kate.

Loved them since the day they starting dating way back when they were undergrads at St Andrews but I just don't see their connection in pictures and it seems a little forced when she has her hand on his back or when they do hold hands.

I don't expect them to hold hands and snog because I know they're mostly photographed whilst they're working but he looks bored and she looks like she's trying her best.

Does anyone agree with me?

@Novella4
this is a thread about William and Kate ?

Best course of action. The analysis of cognition is not for the unlearned and under-qualified.

Omg . William and Kate look miserable as sin

Now Saville Ball Mountbatten- any thoughts ?

Prince Charles would have extensive access to briefing and deep background as well as steer from his private office as to the nature and any potential problems about his social circles. He obviously doesn't see child abuse as something that should perturb his regal mind.

The two most important mentors in his early life were Sir Lauren's van der Post who got a 14-year-old pregnant and Lord Louis Mountbatten his Uncle who was regarded by the FBI as a paedophile.

His close, long term and enduring friendship with Sir Jimmy Saville is a matter of note.

Prince Charles told Ball in a letter in February 1995, two years after the bishop had accepted the police caution, which was read to the inquiry: “I wish I could do more. I feel so desperately strongly about the monstrous wrongs that have been done to you and the way you have been treated.”

Charles later arranged for the Duchy of Cornwall to buy a house to be rented by Ball and his identical twin, Michael, also a bishop.
In a six-page statement to the inquiry, Charles said he had been deceived over a long period of time “about the true nature” of Ball’s activities, but denied he had sought to influence the outcome of police investigations. He said he was unsure whether he was told about Ball’s caution until 2009.

😆

You seriously think I need to search for someone to denigrate on a thread about the 'royals'?? lol

Yes, I think you'd denigrate Dershowitz so that you could link him and Andrew and use him as being disreputable to back up your feelings about Andrew.

Back to Saville, Ball Mountbatten- any thoughts?

About what?

@MarshaMelrose

About what? Really?
You dont know about Saville , Peter Ball, Mountbatten, ?

Oh come on no-one pays out £12 million unless they know there is a good chance the case against them could be proven.

Or are the Royal Family really so rich that £12 million is small chump change to them?

Where and when was it confirmed that £12 million was paid ?

@MarshaMelrose you can think what you like - that wasn't what I said

Andrew has disgraced himself more than enough- I have no need to search for more

Omg . William and Kate look miserable as sin.

Not to me.

Yes, exactly. You should leave it alone.

When was that taken?

I wonder why those who deem themselves to be learned and qualified seem incapable of creating their own thread to discuss other members of the Royal Family…

Hi all, sorry to jump on this thread, we've just had a few reports about the thread being slightly derailed. If we can all try and stick to the topic that would be great. It's really easy to start your own thread but if you need any help doing so then please click here.
Thanks

When was that taken?

Thursday last week

I know that Saville was exposed as a paedophile after his death. I don't know much about Peter Ball but Vera99 wrote a fair summary. As far as I know one man has made claims of historic abuse. It's going to court so I couldn't prejudge either way. But if its found to be true, I hope the victim finds some peace.

What thoughts are you looking for?

last week

First of all, it was £3m according to his lawyers. For royalty that's quite cheap to keep their secrets.
And, yes, they really are quite rich.

And yet you did.

Roussette is always looking for traffic on her threads about Andrew. Why don’t you post on there instead of derailing as Mumsnet HQ have requested??

@mars Do you have a link for the £3 million? Everything I read said at least £12 million.

Peter Ball was a convicted paedophile when Charles helped him.

*Peter Ball was a convicted paedophile when Charles helped him.+

what’s that got to do with this thread?
