Has William's alleged affair been mentioned yet or is he saving for book 2?

[Littlepiggyinablanket]

Surprised this hasn't been exposed, thought that would be the big reveal. I'm doubting there's any truth to it now unless he's saving it for book 2?

There is no injunction - your non existent journalist friends are talking bollocks. International media outlets take great delight in busting injunctions. There hasn't been anything about William having an injunction anywhere and despite your claims, Murdoch doesn't own all the press in the world..... Also, any injunction within the jurisdictions of England and Wales doesn't cover Scotland (obvs) and I would imagine there would be some quarters in Scotland who would be pretty gleeful about breaking such an injunction. But, nada....

a critique of any father who would allow his wife and their media team to leak that about their son (whose wife and children the story deeply impacts).

And he says he wants reconciliation? I expect it’s as much bollocks as the rest of the book.

It is discussed in French and Dutch media, as well as multiple Scottish journalists writing and posting about it as they are not subject to the injunctions. Murdoch is simply one example of an increasingly consolidated mass media sector: academics in communication and political science write about this issue a lot. I strongly recommend reading some of Johanna Dunaway's work on this issue if you don't see this as the very real issue it is.

Foreign journalism is the only reason I heard about it. I don't think it is as scandalous as people like to say, because the royal family cheat on each other like it's an olympic sport. If Camilla did indeed leak it, that's pretty bloody bad.

Let’s have a Scottish link then.

Or any link tbh......

I am in Scotland and follow all things Royal and have never seen anything here .

Alex Tiffin is a Scottish journalist who covered this.

It says

These reports have never been verified, and Twitter speculation doesn’t exactly add up to proof.

They’re careful to cover their backs, aren’t they?

The RUMOURS may have been discussed, but not any details or proof of an affair. Just like the RUMOURS of Harry and Meghan splitting up. Or there being a double decker bus on the moon. There is not a single reputable news agency that has published any of it.

If anything good is to come of all this, it should be the demise of those grubby tabloids that feed the brains of the stupid.

Let me know when you've read Johanna Dunaway, and we can return to this debate.

Sheknows.com, that bastion of credible journalism

Noah Shachtman reported it too, he's an American Journalist and EiC of Rolling Stone. But the point is that media outlets with broad audiences are consolidated into media groups that are implicated in the deals with the RF. As a result, you have a Catch 22. Only smaller or non-general outlets are able to report. Hence the Dunaway recommendation, this type of consolidation is bad for democracy.

I don’t think rumours about alleged affairs have much to do with democracy.

I'm sorry you don't understand why media consolidation is bad for free speech and democracy. Would you like some more reading recommendations to help?

No, I’d like you to stop being so patronising.

@Blossomtoes Awh, but you make it so easy!

I have a family member who worked in a capacity which gave access to information on W and K. They insist the affair did happen and Kate was very upset about it. I do find it hard to believe however.

Various people who know that crowd have said it is true. I do believe it. It seems to be very common amongst the aristocracy.

Well if he has cheated it will eventually come out, just like his father’s affair with Camilla was eventually exposed.

No, I think the lid is very firmly on that.

And Charles never stopped hankering after Camilla whereas William's alleged affair person is married and in their social circle. The closer William gets to the throne, the lless likely it will come out I think.
Unlless Harry does manage to throw a bomb under the MSM and all gloves are off as far as the rags are concerned!

(Disclaimer. Please note the word 'alleged'. Personally, I think he probably did and the deep seated resentment and rowing between William and Harry are because of this. It is explosive and Harry knows but can't say, and H still had stories leaked about him, probably to take the heat off W)

You are probably right.

Actually I found out about the rumours from Mumsnet so I wouldn’t be surprised if others also found out about the same as way as I did.

That’s the part I don’t understand as to why people are so adamant that they’re right. That’s what I would have thought too. I guess it was just people knowing other people who happened to have told them something. Just rumours and gossip. The constant speculation and people not fact-checking before sharing something seems to have become quite commonplace nowadays.

I think some people think if they talk about it often enough it makes it true. It’s ery odd that nobody can ever come up with a shred of evidence.

Very odd, even!
