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

@myrtleWilson

Absolutely nothing to do with that. It was something completely different. Which I won't be going into detail about it, for fear of you bringing it up in years to come.

For your information, with you dragging up that article, please note I apologised probably about fifteen times now for linking it. I explained it was early in the morning, that I was tired and didn't read it carefully which I should've done, but it's never enough, is it, for those that want to drag it up again and again and again. Like you. Thanks for that Hmm

I think Curlew can see exactly what I mean now.

Maireas · 08/04/2023 08:59

Everybody makes mistakes, Roussette, and it's in the past now. There is so much misinformation out there. Fake news. Sometimes it doesn't matter, but it's really concerning when it's malicious and about personal relationships. We have no idea what's going on, but private lives should be just that. Twins parenthood and affairs? Repeated on here as facts? Not nice.

Maireas · 08/04/2023 09:00

CurlewKate · 08/04/2023 08:21

@Roussette Thank you. I have no intention of doing so. I'm sorry that happened to you-there's something about the RF that does strange things to people's minds!

I agree. I do not know why people say all this stuff about them either.

Maireas · 08/04/2023 09:01

Oh, I think you meant something else, @CurlewKate . However, I agree that reason seems to go out of the window m

myrtleWilson · 08/04/2023 09:02

In that case @Roussette I apologise

Roussette · 08/04/2023 09:05

Thank you.

As maireas says, it is in the past. Sadly, it is brought up with monotonous regularity despite countless apologies from me. I'm not sure what else I can do, to be honest.

Oh well

I don't think private lives should be private when the royal family put their private life on display all the time for pr.
You can't wheel your kids out regularly, talk to the media positively about your marriage, and about your private home life,and then expect no one to say anything negative about your private life.

Roussette · 08/04/2023 08:15

Can I advise you not to link anything. I, once, was pressed for a source of something, just like you are now. After a few posters pushed me, I did what was asked... only to have those posters report me for spreading nasty stuff!

You couldn't make it up!

I agree.
This also happened to me once. Infact, it was this subject. I linked articles as well as screenshots from journalists who said they had injunctions here in the UK not to talk about it. MNers went crazy and the whole thread was taken down. I'm surprised this one has gone this far, tbh.

MNers also have form for twisting what a poster has said in an old thread so they can discredit them. So much so, that one of MN rules is taat. This happens a lot to me. Nowadays, I just report usually instead of arguing about it - though I do miss some of the smears. They like to create a bunfight if the thread is not going the way the want.

Yes in addition to the targeting of Roussette here and elsewhere, there has been a lot of TAAT from certain posters lower down in this thread, not just talking about other threads, but alluding to individuals within them, which I thought was a breach of Mumsnet rules.

I very much agree with your last sentence too notanotheroneagain Very apparent on this thread actually.

Interesting isn’t it? 🤔

Very much agree with your point too rattymol.

Do William and Kate talk about their marriage and private home life? Never heard them do that beyond commenting that the kids like baking and William cooks a mean full English - both comments in the scope of appearing on a cooking show.

The kids are seen on formal occasions with a photo op on first day of school year but apart from that, nada.

There is no injunction, the 'reports' in overseas media are all gossip and rumour as has been discussed time and again on these threads.

Yep, they show 'happy families'. They did that boden like family by the sea video. Even giving pics for the Fail to do a calendar. So yes, if people are out saying how loving and cute the family is, then they will also comment when something is off.

It’s not about K and W talking about their relationship (quite a relief to me that they don’t! ) it’s about the fact that their wedding was available to view by the entire nation. Therefore, it’s little wonder that the nation takes an interest in their continuing relationship.

I am not making a moral judgement about it one way or another, I am just stating factually that this is the case.

And all of you monarchists on here taking the moral high ground, accusing me and other pps of malevolent intent, are the ones actually perpetuating the ridiculous and intolerable situation that W and K, and their children, are forced to endure.

If you really cared about the people involved you would become a Republican and lobby to allow the entire family to retreat and live their lives in privacy.

Serenster · 08/04/2023 11:13

No matter how many time you say that, it doesn’t make it true. The Mail just uses photos that are in the public domain at the time.

The original content was put in to the public domain by K and W 's office who uploaded it on to their You Tube channel, so it makes little difference.

@Coxspurplepippin "There is no injunction, the 'reports' in overseas media are all gossip and rumour as has been discussed time and again on these threads."
Evidence, please!

Well considering you're the one refusing to provide any evidence of o/seas media reporting an affair, I don't see why I should satisfy your demands

But
international news Pakistan 'rumoured affair - no details of who the info comes from, no proof of anything, just rumours.
even that highbrow bastion Celebitchy admits it's only rumours you can bet they'd be the first ones in print if there was any actual, you know, proof.

No overseas outlets are reporting injunctions. Again, an injunction would have no value outside England and Wales, so nothing to stop anyone else reporting it. A Scottish anti monarchists journalist did 'report' on an injunction but couldn't publish any details whatsoever so was obviously just stirring. Google shows lots of overseas media outlets reporting 'rumours' but nothing more than that. And that's been reported in the UK too.

So, come on, let's see your counter argument....

CurlewKate · 08/04/2023 11:31

@Coxspurplepippin But you said there were non British reports in your post, and that's all I said too! You then went on to say they were definitely false and there was no injunction. I assumed you had hard evidence to support your categorical statements....

Wiluli · 08/04/2023 11:34

Personally I do not particularly care about the royals but one thing that comes across is that Kate and William seem to really be in the rocks , that’s the one thing Harry and Meghan always seem to have over them , their love seem to be 100% real and William and Kate have lost that ages ago

Onthenextcourt67 · 08/04/2023 11:40

I'd really like someone to answer my point below.

If you Maireas and ArcaneWireless and others love the institution of the monarchy and the RF so much, and genuinely care for the individuals involved, why on earth would you want them and their DC living out their lives under continual and intense public scrutiny, so you can wave a flag and eat a cream tea on May 6th?

Many other nations manage to maintain a healthy sense of pride in their own countries and histories without forcing one family to live a life in the public spotlight with all the attendant misery that must entail.

Just imagine what Prince George is going through now? Despite the immense wealth and privilege and accessibility to power which will eventually be available to him, gradually realising that your destiny is to be King one day, and that your entire life is mapped out for you, whether you want to pursue a different career path or not, is surely a particularly cruel form of mental torture? Why would you want a little boy to go through that?

CurlewKate · 08/04/2023 11:48

@Onthenextcourt67 Yes. Whenever I have seen George at any sort of public event he looks unhappy and anxious. As the parent of an anxious child I think they are doing him no favours.

Roussette · 08/04/2023 11:54

@Onthenextcourt67

I totally agree. I did once on a thread say George was very sweet but I felt he was a bit sensitive and it could be difficult for him. OMG was I slated for that.

I feel for all those three children. They have hands on very loving parents, that much is obvious, but it doesn't take away from what their roles in life will be. How restricting, never to have an opinion, never to have any privacy except inside four walls of a Palace, never really be able to trust anyone... but be paraded out to satisfy the Royalists. Honestly, I hope just one of them breaks free from it. All of them, preferably, but if this continues like it looks like it will, maybe one can be free.

rattymol · 08/04/2023 11:58

Yes they talk about their happy private life. They did that dreadful video of their home life. They talk about the kids, about their courtship, their anniversaries, small things about each other that they find irritating, etc.
I mean most of it is boring, but the fan royal sites are full of this stuff.
I know that Charlotte is supposed to be a bit bossy but looks after Louis according to Kate. That Kate regularly does the school run and likes cooking simple meals, etc etc.
If they did not talk about their private life and simply turned up at events and did ribbon cutting and speeches then I agree their private life should be off limits. But you don't get to use your private life to boost your own image, and then complain if the public criticise your private life.

Onthenextcourt67 · 08/04/2023 12:01

@Onthenextcourt67 Yes. Whenever I have seen George at any sort of public event he looks unhappy and anxious. As the parent of an anxious child I think they are doing him no favours.

And that’s leaving out all the hoo haa there will be when he is a teenager and starts taking a romantic interest in others. And all the speculation about who he will marry. And again once he is married, whether he is faithful. Which brings it all back again to W and K.

My argument is that the speculation is horrid but you can’t rationally expect to stop it once you have invited the nation to take an interest in your births, marriages and deaths. Sorry, but if you do that, the nation will legitimately take an interest in your divorces, family disputes, affairs and illnesses too, unsavoury though anyone on here may find that.

The only way to stop this happening is to not have a RF and leave them alone to live in privacy and peace. These individual players will forever be famous now but there could be hope for the gc of W and K.

CurlewKate · 08/04/2023 12:05

@Onthenextcourt67 I couldn't agree more. On both democratic and humanitarian terms.

derxa · 08/04/2023 12:08

My argument is that the speculation is horrid Well stop doing it then. Focus on your own life
