Did POW have an affair?

Don't reply if you're a Will and Kate sycophant who believes they walk on water. They get favourable PR these days. I find Harry and Meghan irritating but I heard Harry got bad PR in order to distract from William's alleged affair. I remember reading about Rose Hanbury so wonder if there could be some truth in this.

Perhaps Kate is every bit as ambitious as Meghan and turns a blind eye so one day she can be Queen.

Obviously, it was meant to reply to you.

It wasn’t obvious. You say “where did I say it was?” I assume mean where did you say the affair was mentioned? If so, you didn’t say it was mentioned but you do say In PH's book he hints that the affair rumours came through CHouse and PW was PO'd about it.
How is he hinting that when he hasn’t mentioned what it’s about? That is just your interpretation with no basis. Obviously, if it was even true, it would be referring to something that was in the British press, which the supposed affair has never been reported in.

No, other than rumours and gossip - there is no evidence he had an affair. The people who first wrote about later said they had no actual insider knowledge - but were just capitalizing on the gossip. But the damage was done and the rumour spread.

It was obvious by the conversation, this shouldn't be that hard to follow.

I said Harry hinted at the rumours coming from C&Cs office, and he did so by giving call between William and exact timeframe that aligns with the rumours. That's what hints are.

The supposed affair was reported and hinted in the British press. Hence all the articles about Hanbury.

Once you mention something, it's no longer a hint.

ThighMistress · 13/01/2023 16:21

Rumours gain traction. Look at the Doria stuff and the Meghan yacht girl things. Some people swear blind she knew Prince Andrew. No proof ever brought up but people think there’s no smoke without fire.

This thread needs to be moved to the Confusing And Disappointing Acronym board, please.

Oh god yes, I was all geared up for a lovely family scandal crossed with international wartime politics

Sodullincomparison · 21/02/2023 02:47

In Spain and discussion about POW and RH are all over the morning TV shows. Saying that he spent Valentine’s Day with her in a restaurant in London and gave her a necklace.

interestingly it says all this info is from the British media.

Did POW have an affair?
AliceOlive · 21/02/2023 04:17

Super weird. I heard he spent it with your Mom?

SlaveToTheVibe · 21/02/2023 04:38

Which paper is that @Sodullincomparison

pilates · 21/02/2023 06:04

Op, how predictable, just be honest you’re a M&H supporter and thought you start a nasty unsubstantiated thread. You can find out all you want on the internet if you really wanted to or maybe do a history search on here? It’s been done to death and very boring. Perhaps watch an episode of Eastenders that may fulfil your life? Love Island may be up your street too.

user1492757084 · 21/02/2023 07:53

A necklace .. in public. on Valentine's Day I don't think so.

Serenster · 21/02/2023 09:09

If that were true - by which I mean there was one of more credible sources for the story - why wouldn’t the UK press publish it, then? There is absolutely nothing stopping them publishing a factual story like “Man X meets woman Y for lunch on 14 February”. There have been plenty of stories along those lines about William - having dinner with friends at a Mayfair restaurant was one quite recently. It would be any insinuation that there was something else going on that would be the problem.

So, if that Spanish story was true, the UK press could publish the bald facts with no issue. Once again in the desperation to believe the rumour people check their brains at the door….

Theunamedcat · 21/02/2023 09:19

The person that started the rumour admitted it was untrue so why do people insist it is true?

If he has had an affair she has chosen to forgive him and move on bloody let her

myrtleWilson · 21/02/2023 09:39

@Serenster Also, the Marca story has a reference to the Marquess and Marchioness of Cholmondeley divorcing in 2019 which is quite the scoop...

VixenTodd · 21/02/2023 10:39

Who started the rumour? Giles Coren
Who was he matey with just before it broke? Harry and Meghan at Soho House, Amsterdam over a weekend celeb residential
Which types of journos rub Sussex Squaddies up the wrong way? Giles Coren
What does this say about them? They are hypocrites

Mirabai · 21/02/2023 10:58

Coren didn’t start the rumour - it was doing the rounds for ages before he wrote it in the press.

VixenTodd · 21/02/2023 11:06

Ah-ha! It started soon after Meghan came onto the scene, Harry spilled on the in laws and things started falling apart between the brothers.

LaMarschallin · 21/02/2023 11:56

Coren didn’t start the rumour - it was doing the rounds for ages before he wrote it in the press.

Did he write it in the press?
I thought he'd tweeted and then taken the tweet down.

Mirabai · 21/02/2023 11:58

Yes press is oddly 1970s - media.

LaMarschallin · 21/02/2023 12:03

Yes press is oddly 1970s - media.

Well, it still exists.
And there's a big difference between getting an article published in a newspaper as a journalist and tweeting something as a private individual which anyone can do.
That's what used to be called "gossip" rather than "news".

Mirabai · 21/02/2023 12:12

It does, but papers aren’t printed on a “press” anymore, and fewer and fewer people read the print versions anyway.

There’s a blur now between articles in the print version only, articles on the online version only, and journalists sharing news updates and opinions via blogs and tweets.

OhmygodDont · 21/02/2023 12:17

I’m sure if he did Harry would have put it in his book or it will be in a future interview or book.

Either way if he has or hasn’t. If Kate’s fine with it then it’s what it is. I imagine If say the pegging stuff is true and she isn’t into that maybe she could be happy for him to get that else where. He can hardly go on sites that other couples would use to advertise for this so it would be with another person who’s in the circles. Maybe she a has a man too. Maybe they are all in fetlife with alias.

maybe it’s nothing to do with us.

LaMarschallin · 21/02/2023 12:24

I'm aware of that.

There’s a blur now between articles in the print version only, articles on the online version only, and journalists sharing news updates and opinions via blogs and tweets.

And I'm aware of that too.
Which is why I'm careful about my sources of news and try to be precise about them.
A single - subsequently withdrawn - tweet wouldn't be a "news" source I would trust.
Especially since Giles Coren later said he was joking. Which time was he lying?

I don't want to get into an argument about whether there was/wasn't an affair.
I'm saying a single tweet is meaningless.

Mirabai · 21/02/2023 12:30

I'm saying a single tweet is meaningless.

Well, you weren’t saying that until now, it wasn’t clear what point you were trying to make tbh.

I’ve not billed Coren’s gossip as “news” so I’m not sure what you’re arguing about.

LaMarschallin · 21/02/2023 12:40

Well, you weren’t saying that until now, it wasn’t clear what point you were trying to make tbh.

Not to you, obviously.

I’ve not billed Coren’s gossip as “news” so I’m not sure what you’re arguing about.

Fair enough.
It was just that - to me - writing something in the press (virtual or not) is different from writing one tweet, then deleting it, then saying the tweet was a joke. A press article presumably needs some editorial control; a tweet needs a phone.
I think Giles Coren (the journalist) would see the difference between writing an article in the Times and tweeting as a private individual.

Novella4 · 21/02/2023 12:41

Anyone , royalist or otherwise , who thinks the whole truth is known about the cabal that is the 'royals' is naive in extreme

They lie and lie and believe themselves above the law .
Affairs ? That's the least of it .

Let the little people argue among themselves about who does what with whom while they get on with the real work of protecting and increasing their stolen riches

Bread and circuses

Oh and now they've lost their usual whipping boy a new distractor / hate figure will be needed
