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?

That’s a good point! Hopefully this will dispel anymore rumours, but sadly I somehow doubt it.

Exactly. Not only is it damaging to the people mentioned in the rumours, but also others around them. I can only wonder what it can do one’s mental health when you read constant lies and exaggerations about one’s self. And it’s not like it will just go away. It’s there on the internet so it will keep getting dragged up.

There are some users pushing this story in this thread who suprise me. Users who stood about against rumours and invented tabloid stories. That's frustrating. This is an rumour that is so unlikely it hasn't even made it to most tabloids! I get the strong feeling they some posters want to justify PH revealing his family's most intimate details but struggle to do so on the content of book. Rather than argue that it's reasonable to discuss his brother's penis or father's teddy bear, it's easier to say that PH is really angry over a much more important reason that he can't actually reveal. Then his personal revelations feel justified and some posters don't have to question their previous views on PH.

Perhaps I'm way odd but this is a just a rumour! There is not one inch of proof. As a pp said, this would be all over the international media and social media sources is there was any proof. Let the crazy rumours go because you're feeding the press which PH rightly pointed out was awful.

Hasn't Harry now said that the affair rumour was just a story created by Camilla?!

By a woman in Camilla’s office

He said it was a member of Charles and Camilla’s media team who leaked the story about William’s affair, just as they leaked the story about Meghan/Kate crygate. The premise was good press for C&C at the expense of William and Harry.

Oh I don't believe it was Camilla at all but I think that's the closest he will get to talking about a rumoured affair.

But who would feel the need to leak stories whether true or not? If it’s not true, then there is no reason to spread falsehoods. And if it’s true, unless a crime has been committed, it should be considered a private matter.

Someone who was assiduously working for the benefit of C&C at the expense of other family members. For some time this person is said to have been passing unflattering or false stories to the media. H said that
William rang him in a fury at one point because C & C’s team had been passing stories about him and K and he’d had enough. Once had proof from reporters who assured them their source was this particular person, H and W confronted C about it.

Assuming H means Harry, when did this happen? Recently? So you’re saying Harry and William confronted Charles or Camilla? I’m surprised the reporters shared their source. Is this normal?

Journalists never reveal their sources. It’s another of Harry’s fairy tales.

H and W confronted Charles, in 2019 it is said.

As to whether reporters reveal their sources it depends on the context. If a reporter publishes a story that depends on a source that they guarantee to protect in order to get the story then they have a duty to protect that source. In theory anyway, in reality tech developments make that more challenging.

This is a different scenario - trying to establish where some a leak/s has come from. The same things happens in politics. Reporters might tell you that off the record if they thought it was in their interest, and they didn’t have any direct skin in the game.

Ok. That makes sense. So either Charles didn’t know and the leak left his team or he did know, but turned a blind eye.

But surely it would be common sense not to leak anything at all? I’m not a royalist so it doesn’t matter to me. I am, however, concerned if the role of the British Royal Family was abolished, what our alternatives would be like.

But if someone wanted more longevity, surely it would make sense not to leak anything?

Where has he said that? Can someone give a link to a direct quote?

Well he leaked against Diana relentlessly, whether he would leak against his own sons I have no idea. One of his sons appears to think he does.

C was always very over-sensitive to the fact that Diana massively overshadowed him in the popularity stakes, maybe he feels equally insecure and competitive with his sons - maybe he doesn’t, who knows?

Indeed. The son who’s just produced a book full of provable lies. The one who’s a self confessed unreliable witness.

Somewhat more reliable, however, than one of the “deranged” who’s never actually met any of them.

I think that’s what’s known as a non sequitur.

Erm no, you might want to check your Latin.

That’s a no then.

There's a whole passage in the book apparently involving H and W discussing about Camilla and Charles leaking stuff and W getting quite upset and this is around the time that a newspaper published reports of a rumour about an affair (which I believe was subsequently withdrawn) but as usual H is vague enough to avoid the risk of being sued.

Personally I'm not convinced about an affair because there's no evidence and I definitely don't believe the Charles and Camilla involvement claim. That sounds like the usual paranoid Harry bollocks to me.

Im not convinced this refers to the supposed affair at all either, or that Camilla and Charles would leak anything harmful about other members of the family. When did the affair story ever appear in the press? I really don’t think it ever was and don’t see how people can just assume that’s what Harry is referring to here.

There’s a very distinct possibility that William has not had an affair and the source of the rumours was a drunk shit stirring little twit playing a libellous tweet. I don’t think he’s had an affair, and there’s absolutely no evidence whatsoever

Yes I agree.
