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

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?

Why did William take out an injunction to stop the press reporting on the affair?

He hasn’t.

Serenster · 06/01/2023 22:58

I think there were examples of them not arriving together at places.

This means you’re having an affair? Gosh, better tell my husband, we often do this (Meghan and Harry recently turned up separately to a concert in LA so I guess that means one of them is having an affair then?).

Tom Bower is saying (he was interviewed today) that one of the reasons William can’t stand Meghan is that she gloated to Kate about William cheating on her. Tom Bower doesn’t believe the affair rumours. He’s apparently issuing an addendum to his book, so I presume that he’ll be covering this in it.

(usual disclaimer - obviously I know nothing about this this save for the fact that various journalists have repeatedly tweeted that after much digging they have never been able to find any evidence of any affair. The two people who did actually put their names to the rumour - one American blogger and Giles Coren - have both said they actually know nothing and were speculating/joking. There is no super-injunction, so nothing to stop anyone reporting on this except the fact that they have absolutely no evidence, meaning there’s a high chance they’d lose if sued. And yes, last year Kate’s sister named her third child Rose, the same name as the William’s alleged mistress, about whom rumours have been circulating for several years now).

I slightly know a few members of the Turnip Toff set here in Norfolk, the general opinion is that it was rubbish and they're not all great fans of W and K either.

I don’t believe there is a super injunction though, because they are not binding globally.
Remember when Ryan Higgs tried that shit? 🤣

Family friend is a lawyer. He told us a while back his firm was handling NDAs in respect of Williams’s affair with the woman in Norfolk. No reason for him to lie about it.

So your friend is a lawyer, handling NDAs yet has no compunction spaffing bollocks around his friendship circle.

You'd better divulge their name in case someone is ever looking for a decent lawyer so this one can be avoided at all costs.

long before the press
The press have never reported on an affair.

TPT was quite a bit older than PW and H and her dsis even older. They’re not remotely close friends. Why would she know? Is TPT the only socialite whose name you know?

We don’t know if it’s true or not, we’re not statutory it as fact one way or the other.

Omg, do you not know how to gossip

Laughable!

Maybe you don’t know that that is a massive ethical breach for a lawyer, and the Royal Family don’t use law firms with partners who might gossip.

(The partner at Russells law firm who revealed that Robert Galbraith was actually JK Rowling was censured and fine by the Law Society, for example).

Puppypads · 06/01/2023 23:01

There was definitely an affair. BBC royal correspondent knows my SIL and confirmed it. Remember all the vague press a few years ago about Kate wanting to phase out/freeze out the other Turnip Toffs? That was all the British press could print thanks to super injunctions. But they were hinting as broadly as they could about what went on. Seemingly Kate found out when she was in the early stages of pregnancy with Louis.

GyozaGuiting · 06/01/2023 23:02

Given what Harry has revealed in this book, the Netflix series, all the tv specials… if there was an affair we’d know about it. Anything to make Willy the villain.

Serenster · 06/01/2023 23:03

But there is no superinjunction! Anyway who has told you that’s why there’s nothing in the press is making it up…

Exactly, PicturesofDogs. If William had a normal injunction, the press could report on the fact he had an injunction about something.

If he had a superinjunction, press anywhere else in the world but England and Wales could report that he had one, and why (and all the newsrooms would hear about it too!). But no-one anywhere has reported any injunction.

Craghopper1 · 06/01/2023 23:07

@Serenster how do you know there isn't a superinjunction though?

You don't!

Not at the time he wasn’t - Jason Knauf stopped working for the Sussexes at the end of 2018, and the leak of Megxit was a year later. Dan Wootton is talking about someone in their team while they were taking a break in Canada.

And, given the Megxit was summarised in a People article in October 2019 (Meghan’s magazine of choice for stories), several weeks before anyone in the Palace knew about it, that seems quite likely.

This is incorrect.

JK started work for the Cambridges as communications secretary in 2015. In 2018 when H&M married he took on the same role for them too. In 2018 he resigned from communications secretary for the Cambridges and in March 2019 took on a new role as their adviser. He later became head of their Royal Foundation, a role from which he later resigned.

On his departure the Cambridges gave this statement:

“Jason has been an integral part of our team since 2015,”… “We are immensely grateful for his hard work and commitment, both at The Royal Foundation and previously as our Communications Secretary.”

It has been reported in other countries press.

No other country has any report of a super injunction. Any injunction only holds sway in England and Wales. If there was anything to report it would have been all over the foreign press (a la Ryan Giggs) and it hasn't been.

There you go again, you have said this time and time again and when people ask you to provide links you vanish from the thread 😂

Absolutely. Given all the beans Harold’s spilt, this would definitely be in the book if it was true. The fact that he doesn’t mention or even allude to it is indicative rhat he or his lawyers know he’d have his dog bowl arse sued off for libel.

LadyWiddiothethird · 06/01/2023 23:18

Of course William didn’t have an affair!! It is all rumours,all these posters that know for sure he did,total and utter tosh.You know nothing!! all made up by people who thrive on spitefulness and bitchiness.Like the knitters at the guillotine.

Serenster · 06/01/2023 23:19

Craghopper1 · 06/01/2023 23:07

@Serenster how do you know there isn't a superinjunction though?

You don't!

100% I do though!

Superinjunctions don’t mean no-one knows about the proceedings they relate to, they just mean that no-one in England and Wales can report on them, including the fact that the injunction exists. In all cases where they have been made, the press in this country have known (for starters, if they are going to be bound by the injunction, a copy will have to have been formally served on them).

If the person who has taken out the superinjunction is famous enough, overseas papers will freely report on it, as the injunctions only have force in the England and Wales. If William had taken out a superinjunction to prevent the press reporting on an affair, as certain posters are desperate to believe, the press here would know about it. Scottish newspapers would run headlines like the Ryan Giggs one upthread. Many UK media outlets are part of international companies, and they will obviously tell their overseas colleagues. The foreign press would therefore know about it, and would publish the story - it would be huge. They obviously haven’t here though, so you can work out for yourself what that means.

If you are globally famous, a superinjunction actually just brings more attention to the thing you are trying to hide.

If this is true then your family friend should be struck off the register.

I am going to be back in a few years time to post another “I told you so” thread 😆

Serenster · 06/01/2023 23:23

I’ve corrected that for you,Mirabeau

In 2018 Jason Knauf resigned from his role as joint communications secretary for the Cambridges and the Sussexes and in March 2019 took on a new role as adviser to the Cambridges alone, who had set up a separate household from the Sussexes by this point.

So by the time Megxit was leaked he wasn’t working for the Sussexes, so could no longe be considered to be one of their team.

EpicChaos · 06/01/2023 23:23

I've never believed that William had had an affair, for 2 reasons.
In no particular order...

  1. He adores his kids and wouldn't, imo, cause them the hurt brought on by a broken marriage.

  2. You only have to look, at how he looks at Kate.

BradfordGirl · 06/01/2023 23:23

I did not mean any injunction. The foreign press has reported about William's affair with Rose.
