Page 4 | Royals don't marry for love

Headline on front page of the Metro seen on the train. Didn't read the article. Said by Harry. Who's he referring to? His brother?

Fwiw, the Queen and PP were spending a lot of time living separate life in separate houses. I doubt they were ‘in love’ but the late Queeen had a sense of duty that means she would never 1- nit have children, 2- shown any issues in her marriage and 3- got divorced (esp from her generation)
Our current king has had an affair for most of his marriage. And was known to chase women before that. He was told by the Queen to get married fgs.
William is down a similar route. Many women before he ‘settled down’ and now at least one affair. Lost of talk around him about the fact KM was the most suitable etc….

Many women? Who were they? And what affair?

They do - if you're old enough to remember how uncomfortable Charles and Diana looked when things went pear shaped, William and Kate look completely in tune.

I agree.

I believe it was the alleged affair that split the Wales and the Sussex's.

Is that right?

I guess that is because Harry is now such a Good Person™️

Average age of perimenopause is 47 not 41.

It would seem that Harry is gunning for William because he wants to show that he has made the right choice, despite William warning him to slow down in his romance with Meghan. I am sure that this was a sensible warning. Marrying in to the RF inevitably means that you are taking on the job that goes with it, and it seems from the documentary that Meghan really didn’t understand this. Meghan for her part seems to have Kate in her sights for no apparent reason that I can think of, other than maybe jealousy 🤷‍♀️

I would agree with this sadly.

William and Kate do look like a couple in love but, if the rumours are true about the affair, he obviously is not that in love and certainly does not respect her

I posted a comment making reference to this once and received an email threatening legal action and my comment was swiftly removed! Not sure how but within 12 hours, they had my email address from a username. I believe there is a lot of censorship when it comes to certain members of the RF but probably not with others and that's what HM found unfair!

"Whatever 'in love' means."

Yes, I remember those words and the look on her face....awful man that Charles

ArcaneWireless · 09/12/2022 23:52

I wonder how some might feel if others said a chap only got married because he was foofstruck?

Equally outraged I should imagine.

When did William have an affair?

GoingOnce · 10/12/2022 00:17

How he has turned on Kate since Meghan’s arrival is very sad to see. She must be so hurt by it all. To imply you are more in love than anyone else is just so juvenile. How dare he cast aspersions on other people’s marriages, especially when he knows those people will never answer back.

@Redglitter when they met the south african prime minister, william looked really adoringly at Kate when she was talking to him. Contrast to poor harry's face when Meghan did the cabaret curtsey

I haven’t seen the show but I thought Harry looked embarrassed when MM did the overblown curtesy when a clip was shown of it.
Ive no time for them, they wanted out of the ‘Royal life’, to live abroad, not do the boring Royal Duties, they’d do the occasional one instead. The late Queen told them no, no part time Royals here.
She’s admitted she’s often miked up when she goes out.
No Wonder the Queen said no to her filming the meeting of the two great grandchildren during the Jubilee celebrations, or Prince Charles ( as he was then) refusing to meet her for a private audience afterwards, they knew it would be material for her next blog.

Peri menopause? She was 35/6 when they got together. Christ.

Oh God! That'll be another thing for her to preach about in 10 years time.

XanaduKira · 10/12/2022 00:21

Oh goodness, that's so true @KnickerlessParsons - please spare us!

doorheckk · 10/12/2022 00:24

It would have been best not to speculate on anyone's marriage in the TV show. Unless you are in a marriage, you really don't know.

this is ironic as so many posters seem to know the ins & outs of Harry's & Williams marriages!

This

One minute she’s the sister he never had, next minute he’s gunning for her and publicly criticising his brother for marrying her.

For what it’s worth, I always think Will and Kate look really happy and relaxed together.

GoingtotheWinchester · 10/12/2022 00:33

@catandcoffee its a shame more people don’t remember it and recognise Charlie for the deeply unpleasant man he is. Mind you the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree . . .

HotChoxs · 10/12/2022 00:33

Yeah, marrying an attractive wealthy actress is about love.

Redglitter · 10/12/2022 00:36

When did William have an affair

Someone posted on Twitter that he'd been having an affair with one of Kates friends. It was when there was speculation about her & Kate no longer being friendly. Whoever posted it later said it was a joke but the damage was done & the rumour was out there

Another thing I think makes it very unlikely was the alleged OW was called Rose, which is the name Pippa gave to her daughter. There's no way in hell she'd do that to Kate if the rumours were true

But the story was on Twitter so obviously must be true 🙄

Who is “they” here? The Royal Family’s solicitor, Mumsnet?
Neither make much sense to me. Of course MN would have an email address for a username.

He’s being totally disingenuous and he knows it.

That family are carrying on the bloodlines of our ancient country’s heritage- through their marriages they all literally carry the blood in their veins of the Kings and Queens in our history books stretching right back through the mists of time from every corner of the British Isles.

Of course they put more consideration into who they marry than the rest of us do.

LOL.

Lots of French, German and some Spanish blood in the mix.

Elizabeth I's mother was Spanish. Queen Victoria was as German as she was English. She married a German and her eldest married a Danish princess.

George I didn't speak English.

Go back further and the Normans were in charge.

newfriend05 · 10/12/2022 00:52

The queen married for love .. Charles has only ever loved Camille and William and Kate met at uni as do 1000s of couples .. and she was just a normal middle class girl , with a pushy mum .. the only one who was not allowed to marry the man she loved was Margaret ... I had to switch the documentary off ... I thought they come across very badly

My2pence2day · 10/12/2022 00:56

Queen seemed pretty smitten with Prince Phillip. I think they probably do with the exception of Charles or there wouldn't be so many divorces (I come from a culture of arranged marriage and divorce is more rare, with the non-arranged ones much more common, although there could be other factors at play here too)

Perhaps he'd like to have that conversation with Aunty Anne and Uncle Tim - but only if I can be a fly on the wall.....
