Did William really cheat on Kate?

[ttcstop]

I keep hearing this rumour and I'm just curious to know where it comes from? Where is the evidence?

see what you say, a la Catchphrase
I think that's too honest and direct for some.
Nan is 100% on this one!

The same name being mentioned over and over again means nothing. No new information, no pictures, no friend of a friend with the inside track - it’s all one rumour amplified by many voices. If I was Rose I’d do exactly what they’ve done and say nothing. The people who want to believe it’s true will believe it anyway. The people who think it’s made up don’t need to be told that. Also… does it matter? What does it change if it’s true or false?

The problem is no- one can say for sure simply by looking at what’s in the public domain.

of course the RF won’t sue, nor will the alleged partner because they don’t want to give the story oxygen. This will be the reason regardless of whether the rumours are true or false. So it tells us nothing.

as for William not wanting to have an affair because he saw what his mother went through? Well, we all know that’s not how people work. Often people who have affairs saw it happen in their own family, but still do it (even if they vowed they’d never do it).

and it’s possible Kate doesn’t know the full story. Who knows? Maybe William has denied it to her, even if it’s known about among staff.

and didn’t someone on here who knew both princes socially say that it was W who had a reputation for being a ladies man when he was younger? ( though again it tells us nothing)

Nasty lies, the person who originally made it up has already retracted it and admitted it was untrue. Every single person repeating it should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves. Venomous nonsense.

I don’t think so - but if he did, they seem to have worked through it and look very happy together.

William is canny enough to understand that the source of his greater-than charles'-popularity is that he is not perceived to have cheated.

If kate leaves william, the men in grey suits would have a hard time pushing a narrative that she was insane, mad, bad, sad et cetera, the usual. For 20 years she,'s been secure, grounded and calm.

I also feel sorry for not just Kate but also Rose for constantly being dragged into the affair rumours. It sounds exhausting.

Every single person repeating it should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves. Venomous nonsense.

And those resurrecting threads on it in the customary wide-eyed ingenue stylee.

Who knows if it happened or not. It’s none of our concern. This sort of thing is only the business of the couple.

I look at the royal family now and think that they are all a very ordinary bunch of people. The best of them passed away last year.

The best thing about a royal family now is the theatre they provide. The coronation should be great theatre. But after that it’s going to be quite a long time until the next celebration.

I agree Couscous. They could do it within a year, I think. It’s awful.

Rose Hanbury’s son Oliver is to be one if Charles’ Pages of Honour at the Coronation, alongside Prince George

.. which suggests ‘No’ to me

That proves nothing. Like Camilla trying to befriend Diana because nothing was going on there was there. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Diana the loose cannon you mean?

If we are talking about apples….

Her husband is also to be Lord-in-Waiting — a prestigious position that will see him attend important state and royal occasions, as well as being called upon to represent His Majesty at various events. 😃

It’s starting to sound like historical times, when the husbands and his kids are given honours because the wife was mistress to king. Williams not a king, yet, though.

as I said it’s none of our business.

Yawn, this is such an old one. Back in the 90s I met SO many men who claimed to have been in Princess Diana’s security team and the shit they made up to try to impress me was unbelievable.

No, I don’t think it likely that William had an affair, as he’s got an insanely hot wife who he’s clearly been in love with since university and he’s been raised since birth not to do dumb shit that could embarrass the family.

But none of us will ever know for sure so not much point to this thread, other than to help me nod off to sleep.

After producing the heir and the spare they had no further use of her. It was only then they started using her mental health problems against her. That is no surprise for an archaic institution like the RF but what is worse is people like you being taken in by them and using mental health problems against an individual.

People like me?

Go and show me where I mentioned mental health problems - there’s a dear.

Stop patronising me - there's a dear. It is quite obvious what you meant by "loose cannon" so don't play "dumb".

You said ‘people like me’ who ‘fall for things’. You don’t know me but yet you went with a sweeping statement which is patronising in and of itself dear.

The definition of loose cannon is how I meant it. Again- questionable telling me how I meant it but each to their own dear.

Just in case you need to refer to it in the future:-

Loose cannon ”an unpredictable or uncontrolled person who is liable to cause unintentional damage.”.

I will converse with you when you show me where that mentions mental illness.

I just hope that anyone close to you doesn't have any kind of mental health problems otherwise you will be getting the dictionary out on them with your condescending attitude.

Diana was not a saint, and to suggest she was is actually unkind, because she was a flawed and troubled individual with very real problems. She sought help for her mental health problems and was actually quite open about them, eg the bulimia.
I have no idea if William cheated. I think these dreadful rumours are designed to hurt and divide and are surely a waste of time and emotions.

Mmm. It’s not quite as simple as that though is it? In one way it’s not our concern, but in another way they make it so by inviting the public to be part of their births, marriages and deaths. If the public weren’t interested in their daily lives then the monarchy couldn’t really exist.

You can’t say that an affair is entirely unrelated to a Royal marriage and their children either can you? And if it is the heir to the throne’s marriage that is affected, then that could well have implications for the institution of the monarchy, which would in turn make it the public’s business.

This is where hypocrisy arises when they allow the public to be part of the happy events, and even the sad events if they are respectable, but anything unsavoury or unpleasant is covered up. It’s all smoke and mirrors tbh.

I doubt we will ever know for sure about Rose Hanbury, but I think it’s quite likely that William could have an affair, simply because he has grown up with his same sex close relations, his father and grandfather, doing the same. The aristocracy have far more time and opportunity to have affairs than ordinary people, with ordinary jobs and families living in one home.

And I imagine that, just by dint of the fact that he is the POW, he would have a raft of aristocratic friends willing to smooth his way, or provide bolt holes, in return for royal favour.

Kate is an intelligent person and she will be aware of all of these issues. I am sure she knows that the continuation of the British monarchy is almost totally dependent on her and William’s marriage thriving. And as pps have said, she hasn’t put a foot wrong so far, so I doubt she would be blamed if it didn’t! Especially given the RF’s past track record. That leaves her in a very strong position indeed. A very stressful one too.

My natural instinct is definitely not

However I know two people very seperated from each other while both have contacts who move in their circles and different royal circles.
They both say its true.
