Kate Middleton raves - today’s top story. What are they getting at?

Y’know when the Daily Mail or any other tabloid runs a random story it’s actually about something else and they’re trying really unsubtley to tell you? (Ie Ryan giggs of many affairs being painted as a loving husband with snaps of him looking absolutely miserable shortly before the affairs broke)

What are the DM trying to say here?

some interesting lines, particularly about the Chumleys staying “close to the royals”

Kate Middleton 'went to music festival' with her friend Rose Hanbury

The Princess of Wales, 41, is understood to have made her first ever visit to a music festival at the weekend, albeit a very upper-class one at Houghton Hall in Norfolk.

I shall leave others to join the dots, but I feel we are being fed a manufactured narrative, no not feel am sure, or it might just be as the real King sung my '.

LMAO. This was from 2016 / 2017 in Switzerland. Kate was also in Switzerland with her sister and friends partying for her sister's hen party. William and Kate and friends took private plane to and from Switzerland together.

He was "dad dancing". And those two so called "beauties" were there with their boyfriends. They later gave a interview.

VERY VERY old news.

Again also nothing to do with this story of Kate going to a dinner party and music festival.

I believe the affair happened, both Wills and his granddad.

vera99 · 14/08/2023 22:10

Why are we being told about a secret meeting at a 24-hour EDM music festival at Houghton Hall where no doubt industrial qualities of drugs are partaken. Harry would have had a great time being off his head making his shapes.

It seems The Daily Mail has nothing royal to write about today, with many of them absent on holiday and the Californian branch going about their business quietly. They need the clicks so they wrote a whole story about someone going to listen to music with their friends. Their legal bills must be really mounting up for them to resort to such blaah piece.

polkadotdalmation · 14/08/2023 22:23

Nice story about someone having a nice time with a friend. Lovely to see her letting her hair down and being less formal. Hope she had a nice time.

On another note...do people actually believe The Crown is historically accurate? 😂😂😂😂😂

Flossiemoss · 14/08/2023 22:24

He’s the prince of wales. Wasn’t it his father who allegedly pointed out that if he was faithful he would be the first prince of wales without a mistress?

id be more shocked if good old wills didn’t have a mistress.

ArcticSkewer · 14/08/2023 22:30

Looking at the pics and captions

So Will has already been raving by himself and now Kate is trying it.

She likes flirty dancing.
Previously with Will.

So she is now having a revenge affair would be my interpretation

It's like Charades

☝This. 😂

PrincessTigger · 14/08/2023 22:38

The Mail gets a certain amount of ad revenue from royal stories (and the Waleses and Sussexes are what people are primarily interested in clicking on) and right now they aren’t doing anything to write about, hence stories like William and his lack of a kilt, Kate raving, the royal website being updated, Meghan going to the dentist…

JodyMitchell · 14/08/2023 22:40

There is absolutely ample evidence of Prince Phillip and Penny Knatchbull’s relationship. They were living together when he died. She is the reason why the RF fought to keep his will secret.

For quite a while MN deleted any posts mentioning this. I wonder if the same will happen to this post.

Penny Knatchbull was often described as a ‘friend’ of the late queen.

Again. This has nothing to do with Kate going to a dinner party at Rose and her husband's house and afterwards going to a music festival.

There is absolute no evidence that Philip had an affair with her. There is also no evidence that they were living together. And no they didn't fight his will becoming public because of her. Every will of a royal is sealed for 100 (?) years.

And have you ever thought about that Penny was described as a friend of the queen because she was a friend of the queen. Simple.😂

Also, Kate isn't the Queen and William isn't his grandfather. Not sure why the queen and Phillip were brought up in relation to this non news story. 🙄

polkadotdalmation · 15/08/2023 03:25

@RYGO On the basis of the logic shown here, do you think the queen was having a secret love affair with said friend penny?

Serenster · 15/08/2023 06:52

Penny Knatchbull was first suggested by the press to be having an affair with Charles, not his father. The perils of being an attractive woman in royal circles. She was close to the whole family (Princess Diana was godmother to one of her children), the Queen included. Most of the photos of her with Prince Phillip have been cropped to cut out either the Queen, or sometimes her own husband (before he left the marriage, obviously).

Serenster · 15/08/2023 06:54

Well, it just happened to mine!

JenniferBarkley · 15/08/2023 06:57

I saw some being hidden and then revealed last night. Very strange, never seen it before.

Serenster · 15/08/2023 06:59

Anyway, here’s the photo vera99 posted. See that man in the background? In the uncropped version, you can see it’s her husband.

Serenster · 15/08/2023 07:00

Posting the photos would help 😀

There’s absolutely loads of cropped photos of them published by the press, maliciously cropping out her husband, or the Queen, or both of them. Lapped up by watchers of tv fiction too, it appears.

pilates · 15/08/2023 07:13

There’s no dots to join here. Some people have such vivid imaginations and an obsessive agenda. Young mum going out with her mates for a fun night is all I see.

I agree. I would be very surprised if he was the only man ever in hus family and friends who didn't have affairs. I don't think it would be a long drawn out love affair like his father though. He has too much to lose if Kate dumped him, but I wouldn't be duroeised if he put it about among the aristo set. Its more or less an honour to lend your wife to a Royal! It is odd that that story is out there. No one was talking about this story anymore, and now the DM have started it up again for no reason.

Serenster · 15/08/2023 07:25

I don”t think his great grandfather George VI had affairs. Or the Dukes of Kent or Gloucester. Or his uncles Andrew or Edward. The marriages where there were affairs (Fergie, Mark Phillips) ended in the wandering spouse being divorced. So the reality is not quite as you suggest

The Royal Cuck Consort - it's accepted in aristo circles that if a Royal (male - it's always men) takes fancy you graciously demur and by doing so get accepted and privileges inside the tent as it were. They are then free as well to shop around - they are not like us mere morals - different rules apply. The Crown does a beautiful job of dramatising basically in essence essential truths about our Royal Family which if were depersonalised and put on MN would scandalise and have us all on the side of the wronged woman or conversely she would be the demomised OW. Them's the rules.....
