This is turn means that they have pretty much destroyed the public trust and faith in what they say being true.

You say that, but Meghan’s supporters regularly handwave away her actually lying to the court. And a very large number of people in the UK will have filtered/factuned/google best take’d a photo themselves. So I think it’s far more likely that most people will see this as no big deal, really….

It's entirely different to doctored holiday snaps, this was presented as news.

I do feel that most of truly unhinged theories are coming from the US and a general ignorance of the UK.

The comments about the brickwork. It's very normal for old buildings in the UK to have differing brickwork because, they're old.

Comments about the Mothers Day photo.were about the windows. Yeah mate, it's a hundred years of window putty and paint.

And the tiles being uneven. Yep, Georgian tiles can be.

Is that they think - "Palace" - must be pristine whole in actual fact its old and ancient and creaky.

LadyWhineglass · 12/03/2024 20:07

Yes. March 2016. I did get the right year and month.

My theory on all this is that it’s something fuelled by KC having cancer. it could be terminal although that doesn’t mean imminent. But obviously they weren’t expecting to have to take over so soon and someone has had a freak out .

Or they were going to separate and now they can’t. Kate is done.

Thats all lovely but the news certainly here In London is that they have been separated for months… it’s an open secret that William lives in Kensington Palace and Kate stays in Windsor.

This makes sense actually.

Perhaps that’s because most people are indifferent to the royal family. But for those that do allow them to filter into their consciousness from time to time (not those that live vicariously through them), there is likely to be a justified cynicism towards them now. Given their unpopularity with those able to effect future change, this doesn’t bode well for the future of the RF? No matter how many excuses are made for the blatant deception.

I'm a fan of these two and their kids. I've been very honest and was sad to post that the delay of the original being handed over to the media by KP is doing them no favours

However, when I see total BS like what you have said, it saddens me how the media and the internet make up stuff just because like any ordinary couple, almost every couple have their days off

William would never let his wife down because of what happened to his mother and that is a fact. Kate would not let William down as she comes across as a very decent lady.

Kate knew, just like any other person what they are marrying into.

I am not so sure. I think that the reality of life as a senior or senior-ish royal is scarcely imaginable, which is why several marriages have failed and why aristocrats like Jecca won’t touch it with a barge pole. I believe that C wanted it and did her homework and was very willing to learn. But she didn’t “know”. No one who marries in can “know”.

Wasn't the King meant to have proposed marriage to Amanda Knatchbull, Mountbatten's granddaughter (with his enthusiastic support) and she turned him down because she feared being a Royal? What a sensible young woman she must have been to have resisted all that pressure.

But how on earth do you know that? You don’t know anything about the reality of them. William could very easily let her down.

Meghan is the wife of the Kings second son. Not the wife of the heir to the Throne. If you lose trust in dome celeb, who cares? Who trusted them anyway? If you lose trust as the future head of the Institution of the Monarchy and the Palace is passing lies off as true, it's a different kettle if fish altogether.

Well it's not really a fact is it? You don't know them from Adam.

oh sweet child ! How naive.
They are presenting an image and even that image clearly shows they detest each other some of the time.

I do find it hard to take your fawning obsequiousness and sycophancy seriously regard Kate & Will seriously @DistinguishedSocialCommentator . The slurping is on an industrial scale.

The whole of London dontcha know. There’s just SO much going on down there that those outside the M25 aren’t allowed to know about. They pass around coded notes in jellied eels, apparently.

it quite peculiar to be so devoted

Roussette · 12/03/2024 20:36

No one knows what goes on in a marriage.
Their marriage could be fine or it could be really bad. Who knows.

I'm sure we've all been in the position of hearing a friend or relative or someone who lives round the corner, is getting divorced and being totally shocked thinking...they always seemed so happy

That doesn't mean to say I think that is what's happening with K&W. We just don't know

It's like when posters say they'd love to share a gin with Camilla as she seems a laugh. She could be boring or unpleasant or great fun. They feed the media with the image they want to portray.
We don't know

I know that becuse I've met people in life via work, friends and some family where one half has been cheated on or their mother or father was a victim of a cheat. I've yet to met anyone who has experience anything like that to cheat/etc

As I've said many times, a marriage is hard work at times once the honeymoon period is over. I've yet to meet a couple where they have not had their fallout.

Importantly, when people are ill, this adds an additional burden to most couples and I have seen this first hand via close to 30 years in social services via various roles I was in.

Being ill very ill, having a major op is worrying and IMO more worrying if the person is younger. Kate/Willian have three young kids. By all accounts Kate had a major op. Any op is a risk and a major one more so. For an active person like Kate, to put life on hold must be even more distressing than someone like me that does not travel a lot and our children are grown up.

When one half is ill, recovering etc, it also impacts their OH

Re the picture, honestly, I'd sack the whole PR team for this couple re the picture fiasco. Now that Kate has admitted to the small edit, I understand why people, many people and media have a doubt in their mind.

KP could easily address the doubt by handing over the original picture. This would be a slap in the face for most that have doubted the couple.

People slagging of Willliam forget that he too is suffering via worry re his wife as any decent hubby would,

Again, I wish HRH a speedy recovery and KP to do the right thing and put HRH Kate and family first rather than their own pride/etc

Roussette · 12/03/2024 20:40

Huh?

Are you saying but anyone who has had divorced parents would not be getting divorced because that's really not true

feellikeanalien · 12/03/2024 20:43

Well I think one thing that will probably come out of this is that Kate is very unlikely ever to be releasing family shots again.
