Indifference to PoW?

I find it strange that there’s no real interest or concern from the public about POW being in hospital. Nobody seems to be that bothered. If you compare it to the circus if Diana had been in the same situation….. I just find it odd. I always thought she was relatively popular because we’re constantly told she is but actually…. Tumbleweed.

I know it’s her own business etc but it just feels quite odd that somebody can disappear and there is no interest in why. I don’t really know or care what’s happened or why, but the silence is really intriguing. It reminds me of when the brexit referendum happened and I had no idea that there was such strong feeling about the EU…. I had no idea that there was such apathy about the PoW until now. It’s been a real eye opener for me.

I reckon the next generation or two, the monarchy will be gone.

Quite.

Is it? , is it really?
Are most of the posters here not the public?

It's not half term ALREADY, is it?

I don’t know what sort of lives you lot lead, but ‘going to the press’ because people who know about this stuff have shared it orally just isn’t on my radar.

That would be totally alien to me but it’s astonishing how heated people get by anyone raising the issue. Look at the entire family and ask who isn’t a cheat - pretty much a minority occupation to be fair.

It’s a really strange phenomenon - would it be such a surprise? Is it such a massive deal? If it is such as massive deal why put up with a couple of massive cheaters on the throne?

Honestly, if you want to believe bullshit, just believe it but probably doesn’t warrant the shrieks of toxic etc at another poster who isn’t being rude and happens to believe the evidence the other way is completely credible.

As in, try to move on….

Yet you are prepared to believe bullshit too. You say you have a “good” source, yet you have no proof that your source isn’t making stuff up 🤷‍♀️. If there was solid evidence, it would have found its way out by now

What's typical of the public?

ArcaneWireless · 02/02/2024 13:12

As for heated?

This scene from AP springs to mind.

Good question @MrsDanversGlidesAgain !
No it's not half term yet surprisingly, and I'd also like to know how poster knows what most of the public think 🤔, did she do a poll?, did she go out and exhaustingly knock on doors and ask?
Or is this just what a few of her friends think.

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 02/02/2024 13:14

Most people know Charles cheated on Diana and believe William has done the same with Kate

A lot of people believe a lot of things. It doesn't make them true (re William, that is). Incidentally, wasn't it Diana who cheated first in that marriage?

People know Charles and Diana cheated because they both told us they did!
However neither Catherine or William has said this .

Shrieking? that's rather....sexist.

Ahh so twitter is your source 👍

ArcaneWireless · 02/02/2024 13:17

Shrieking though? Is that to go with the oft touted outrage?

Equally amusing that those terms are used to disparage those who disagree.

wildernesssw · 02/02/2024 13:17

tbh it is the business of the husband/wife and no one else.

In the absence of any proof or public statement I'll put it down to random gossip and give the benefit of the doubt to the people involved.

I am CLUTCHING MY PEARLS at the thought, or I will be, once I have some pearls to clutch 😂

Also disappointing as ushal that other female? Posters resorting to the ushal misogynistic attempt to shut down women by using " hysterical " and "shrieking " all we need is shrill and it's bingo !

themessygarden · 02/02/2024 13:19

Maybe the person who shared it with you 'orally' lives under a bridge too.

Would you care to repeat the rumours about H&M though?

They are very well known in some corners of the internet too.

It may produce a balanced discussion about how fair it would be to repeat it….

jeffgoldblum · 02/02/2024 13:24

Did you miss the entire conversation earlier??
The entire internet is filled with awful rumours about everyone!
I could post something about you and five seconds later it would be spread about as gospel and people would believe it !
Would that be nice or fair?
( disclaimer! I would not obviously!)

Roussette · 02/02/2024 13:25

I would really really like to think William has not cheated. He'd be an effing fool if he has. Kate is the jewel in the crown as it were...

However, the family and certain married ins do not have a good track record. Charles. Diana. Sarah Ferguson. Andrew who knows, say no more. Prince Philip apparently. Princess Anne's ex husband had a child whilst still married to Anne! Princess Margaret and her husband were both known to have affairs.

I just hope William has not and I'd like to think he actually hasn't, because he should know what he's got in Kate. So I'm erring on the side of 'no' despite any rumours. Trouble is... all the family have previous...
