LOL the Cambridge household leaks stories about Harry and Meghan to the press absolutely constantly.
Carole ran straight to her pet journalist to leak all the details, they even planted Jason Knauf in the Sussex household to spy on them and leak nasty stories about them to the press
the fact William and Kate lavished such extraordinary praise and rewards on Jason when he fucked up so badly and was leaking to the press is proof that he didn't fuck up, he was acting under orders.

And you know all this how? Are you inside the Wales household, or just quoting from a suspect website?

As for people who think that only heavy manual labour is actually work....

How did the Beatles not conquer America?!

They were getting nowhere until they caught a lucky break with Ed Sullivan. Lennon then managed to alienate the entire bible belt with his remark about the band being more popular than Jesus.

A remark incidentally that was cited by American Mark Chapman as one of his reasons for murdering Lennon some years later.

Quite a mixed bag of results really.

What is your point here? And you think that Charles has something about him but William hasn’t? I thought you were a republican, but I’m beginning to wonder if you are in fact a Harry fan masquerading as a republican 😂

That poster loves H&M as you can tell by their posts, a lot of republicans on here love them, it’s most odd.

We've had years of constant articles about how "incandescent with rage" William is about Harry. When Kate and Meghan had their falling out over the bridesmaids dresses, Carole ran straight to her pet journalist to leak all the details, they even planted Jason Knauf in the Sussex household to spy on them and leak nasty stories about them to the press (the fact William and Kate lavished such extraordinary praise and rewards on Jason when he fucked up so badly and was leaking to the press is proof that he didn't fuck up, he was acting under orders).

Willy is a workshy pathetic man baby who needs to grow up, develop the tiniest bit of work ethic, and stop tantruming and chasing competition with his brother.

Are you a member of royal staff? You seem to know so much.

CathyorClaire · 22/09/2023 16:45

it’s the Royal Foundation that is an incubator of successful charitable enterprises, not Prince Harry or William personally.

If Willy is a mere figurehead in a charity manufactured for him it does once again beg the question of what he's for especially when royal charitable work is constantly cited as a strong reason for maintaining the monarchy.

Serenster · 22/09/2023 17:02

Because the Royal Foundation would not exist without him, obviously.

It’s a bit like saying what is the point of Bill Gates when the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is so successful. If not for him, it and all its endeavours wouldn’t exist.

As an American I can say that William's trip has gone exceedingly well everywhere except on Mumsnet. He's all over the news and people have been traveling from all over the US to see him in NY. Several were interviewed on last night's news.

I assume you have evidence to support your wild assertions??

Tontostitis · 22/09/2023 18:40

It must be devastating to certain posters that Willuam and Catherine are doing such a fantastic job and just ignore all the crap thrown at them

wtf have the middletons got to do with it. they didn't bring him up

"What the fuck have the Middletons got to do with it? They didn't bring him up."

I don't see life as something where we have finished being brought up on our 18th birthdays. The Middletons didn't have an influence on William when he was little, but he has known them for many years now and may well have learned much from them. Possibly some Mumsnetters come to a full stop on their 18th birthdays and never learn anything else from anyone, in which case I pity them for their lack of development.

Roussette · 22/09/2023 19:19

That's a strange thing.
The Middletons I am sure gave William an idea of what ordinary people are like but Monarchy rules, I can't see that they would have influenced him in his position as an heir to the throne

Don't get me wrong, it would've been good for him to see but his position overrules that big time

Of course it has. You've only to look at the news coverage and the crowds to see that people recognise a genuine person trying to do some good and having the luck to be in a position to do that. Unfortunately most of the RF threads are dominated by a few prolific posters who support H&M unquestionably. They of course have every right to their opinions and to express them freely, but I can assure you the country as a whole are generally favorable, or at least not unfavorable.

colourwheelofortune · 22/09/2023 20:02

@Roussette Maybe encourage the RF haters to stop using the pejorative name 'Willy' for prince William, before taking offence at my use of the name Harkles? Willy is not used in any affectionate way by these posters, and it is irrelevant what Harry called him when they were children. It is a demeaning and mocking derivative, and everyone here knows that.

I have always used Meghan and Harry's correct names previously but maybe I should also just get down to this playground level?

Thank you for saying this. It's incredibly annoying but it does make the posters who use it sound very childish.

Roussette · 22/09/2023 20:11

I don't understand. People call Harry Harold and William Willy, their names they called each other

You are going one step further with stupid nicknames designed to insult
Very different to Harkles Hazza and Megsie.

THAT is the playground level FWIW

So you're saying that Harkles Hazza and Megsie is ok?

derxa · 22/09/2023 20:17

I don't understand. People call Harry Harold and William Willy, their names they called each other That's the reason people sound snide when they use them. Because it was part of two brothers joshing each other. No one on here is their brother or sister.

colourwheelofortune · 22/09/2023 20:27

@JSMill Exactly. Its designed to irritate and annoy. Hence my equally stupid and annoying (once only in a post) use of silly nicknames. Willy is only used by the haters, so its not with affection, and they are not Harry, who invented the name. Diana called William Wills, not a penis derivative.

Absolutely, but they will continue because it is at the playground level. Penis jokes are always playground level.

So you can use your stupid nicknames Harkles Megsie or Hazza, but woe betide anyone else who says Willy.

Got it!

JSMill · 22/09/2023 20:36

I have never used any of those nicknames anywhere. I even feel guilty saying H&M but sometimes I get lazy. Honestly if that's all you have to defend yourself with then 🤷‍♀️. Calling PW 'Willy' sounds so childish just like the various nicknames used for your beloved Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Roussette · 22/09/2023 20:38

Nor me

It's H&M or W&K

colourwheelofortune · 22/09/2023 20:42

@Roussette I used it once in one post and one reply, purely to demonstrate the childishness of other people. If Willy is acceptable then so is Megs (Harry calls her that, and Harold. Will probably stick to H&M as I am also lazy, even though it sounds like a cheap clothing store

derxa · 22/09/2023 20:42

Willy doesn't even work as insult here in Scotland anyway. Lots of people are called Willie or Wullie or Wull. Now Boaby is a different matter....😂

I misread your post then
It seemed in there in a long post. I didn't realise it was making a point
