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?

How come threads where people mildly criticise things that H&M have actually done get automatically deleted or locked or mass reported, but libellous, sexist and hurtful speculation about anyone else in the RF is allowed a free pass? I think this is so nasty, RH is a named person, she married an aristocrat but she’s not a public figure, yet she’s used as collateral to have a go at William (or rather Kate via William)

@tigger2022 Completely agree. Not commenting on such rubbish.

Well said @tigger2022

Also I have to admit to a sense of humour failure on the pgging thing because I don’t find it funny at all. Firstly that you’d casually humiliate a random, named woman with degrading rumours, and she deserves it because they don’t like Kate or because they don’t believe men can be friends with women is so sexist. Secondly, the whole framing that they find so funny: that frigid, boring Kate might have sexual boundaries that she is unreasonable* enough to actually enforce (he’s a prince dontchaknow!) so OF COURSE he’s going to cheat on her and she deserves it haha unlike fun Meghan who will never get cheated on - I mean what century is this?!

Completely agree @tigger2022 , the crap written about the other royals is awful, but any poster who posts negative comments about H&M get absolutely lambasted!

Completely agree @tigger2022 , it's appalling double standards.
The fact that the story hasn't progressed past Internet rumours at all in the past 6 years indicates to me there's nothing backing it up.
The press have shown they can get round a super injunction (Ryan Giggs), and the basic fact that a super injunction would only apply to England & Wales. Nothing stopping the tabloids in Scotland, Ireland, Europe or elsewhere reporting it.
If the Press could prove it, nothing would stop them. They did it with Charles fgs!

I know if I started spouting such guff about another couple it would rightly get deleted.

It seems deeply unfair that this is continually allowed to be bandied about. Despite it being reported.

You can have whatever stance you like regarding the monarchy or those who are not Royal but double standards isn’t what I expect here.

@tigger2022 you’re right - and there is a rumour circulating about Meghan and one of her bodyguards - shall we discuss that?

Definitely not!

No!! These are all real people who can't fail to be hurt by rumours of infidelity. We would all find it upsetting, so I'm sure all the people involved do. They must be so strong as a couple to just brush this off.

😮let's all say that it must be true...no smoke without fire...

Or maybe that some people have an incentive for making up cr*p?

Let's look at evidence rather than random gossip?

The point is we are paying millions to support the 'royals'

Part of their 'sell' is the happy family .
They sell that hard .
If it's a lie we deserve to know .

We aren't paying for H and M are we?

We may be paying millions to support the RF. We don’t pay for those who have left.

Either way it doesn’t give us the right to make up any old shite - and state it repeatedly - to try to cause hurt to them and those involved in the story.

No one deserves false allegations about them - and that goes from pauper to Prince, working Royal or California dweller.

I think, and I could be wrong, that you would jump right on to any post repeating the story briefly mentioned above. And you would be right to do so.

You cannot then say that it is ok to repeat or demand answers for the oft repeated story simply because you pay a few quid for the privilege to do so.

You would then have no argument if others seized on that story and kept repeating it.

Circulating unfounded rumours is wrong no matter how you choose to spin it.

If you ever experience those kinds of persistent rumours and endure the damage it does to people then I would have the same concern for you.

i do disagree that guff about H&M would be deleted.
at this moment there is a thread about Meghan being pregnant!
some of the stuff said about her is awful and left to stand.

no Idea if PW has had an affair. the same way no one else on here knows.
so its all daft really. I just find the posters who are so sure one way or the other strange, no one on here knows.

Sorry but I don’t think that’s fair. If someone started a malicious rumour about you, you would hope people would dismiss it unless they had evidence. Not shrugging and say “well maybe it’s true, maybe it isn’t.” There isn’t a shred of evidence, people are correct to disregard it.

There has been some pretty awful stuff left to stand about both parties I think Samcro

The pregnancy thread did meander fairly rapidly and the OP said they made a mistake pretty quickly if I recall correctly.

I agree it isn’t nice speculating. I do think there is a slight difference wondering if someone is pregnant (a joyous lovely thing that can be proven within a matter of months) or stating something that could end a marriage or could cause children to be tormented by their peers in the playground for years on end.

Like you, I find the folk who state things to be true or hear it from their security service spouse (or not) are about as knowledgeable and believable as a creme egg.

As you say - no one knows. I appreciate folk will gossip or delight in chatting shit when something first hits the gossip boards. It doesn’t make it right but I can understand it.

I do have to wonder though about the folk who bring it up weeks or months after it has been spoken about. It serves no real purpose.

From experience, it is a bloody hard road to walk down when you’ve been the victim of it.

It matters not if it was something that started in jest or something started maliciously designed to wound or cause harm to someone.

It is just a really shit thing to do to anyone.

The rumours on twitter about William's sexual practices enhanced his reputation, they did not damage him. Lots of people saying they had thought he was boring, but maybe there is more to him than meets the eye.
Not my views by the way, but rumours about men's sexual practices rarely damage their reputation.

rumours about men's sexual practices rarely damage their reputation.

So he is strutting about untouched and undamaged. And the wife and kids can just bask in the reflected glory of the enhanced and less boring reputation?

I’m not sure that is quite how it works with rumours.

Still, if lots of people say so then I’m sure they would think it fine enough if their husband or dad was the talk of their town.

Exactly and even if it was true I don’t see how Kate and RH benefit.

I noticed this too. I also noticed before I started reading Spare that the media took so many quotes out of context and have misrepresented things. I thought the book was more of an attack on the press which explains the negative and sometimes untrue coverage!

Ive studied media bias and lies but I’d hate to be in Harry and Megan’s position because most people just read an article headline and assume that is true even if the body of the content contradicts it and even if the source content contradicts it!

Can't personally work out how rumours about pegging enhance the future King's standing? Or am I being way too boomer? Not in my friendship group...

It doesn’t benefit the victims at all, they are trying to justify the unjustifiable

Since we're all speculating on William cheating on kate without any actual evidence, perhaps we can also freely speculate on the state of harry and meghan’s marriage. There's an article that recently came out from the telegraph that mentioned harry having a room in a hotel in Montecito, for what reason might that be? And this article hasn't been taken down yet despite the vehement denial from the Sussexes. Maybe there is something to this article, perhaps harry might be using it for time away from Meghan. There's been rumours that he's been seen spending time with a mystery blonde who supposedly works for better up.

While there’s definite double-standards, I don’t think it’s right to speculate about M&H either
