Anyone else feel this was an entirely random post yesterday in the Independent?

Yes I have. What are you implying? Was there more to it?

There was and still is a rumoured affair with William and Rose. That's what it's about. It started when Kate was pregnant with Louis.

Is there any truth in it? All I know is that what's happening in KP is not kosha.

The marriage is reported as being in trouble. If you catch some of the looks Kate gives to William of anger and hatred in the last year or so, this is why

The whole thing is very odd... Kate disappears, and all this happens. Then Rose is in the media again.

Make of that what you will

I think Mountbatten's proclivities were widely known.

And now this …

Here we go again: this rumour was made up by the spiteful, amoral Giles Coren - very old news. Since refuted.

Eh? Where are the 'looks of anger and hatred' that Catherine gives William? I've given my other half some looks over the years but it doesn't mean I hate him!

The press are filling a vacuum and stirring in revenge at the paucity of news about the PoWess.

I'm really dismayed at the number of MNers, who presumably are in favour of families being happy, salivating at the thought of W and C breaking up and all the fallout that would mean for their 3 young children.

It leaves a really nasty taste, for me, and I don't get the sensationalism and enjoyment.

Oh - and just for the record: Rose's husband is very attractive in my view, and her clothes are very elegant and understated. Some weird opinions on this thread...

I've read on numerous threads online the children currently aren't attending Lambrook? Is their any truth in that?

But what has happened exactly? She is ill and is taking time off to recover. They released a photo that turned out she had edited to make it look nicer.

Everything else is just speculation, there are no hard facts at all.

When you look at it from that angle…

They released a photo that turned out she had edited to make it look nicer.

You need to read the thread. It’s really not as simple, the photo is a picture made up of other pictures, we also don’t know for certain who created it, despite the Insta story from ‘C’

There’s an interesting article in Pajiba (reputable online magazine) about why Rose Hanbury is suddenly front and centre in the press…but why??….

The author thinks the Royals are parasites, by the way, so this isn’t a puff piece.

A passage that’s relevant to some of the points being discussed here:

https://www.pajiba.com/celebrities_are_better_than_you/rose-hanbury-is-thrown-into-the-spotlight-as-the-kate-middleton-conspiracies-get-more-feverish.php

the photo is a picture made up of other pictures

that’s not actually what the several articles by experts have said

we also don’t know for certain who created it

the data shows the photo was taken where stated and when it was edited

It remains the likeliest explanation that she enhanced her appearance as she’s recovering from illness and not ready for worldwide media scrutiny. The fact that the online bullying led to the feeling that a photo should be released is still the biggest story here and posts like yours which confidently assert gossip as fact and introduce intrigue and innuendo are perpetuating and amplifying the campaign.

I think this is an important aspect that is often overlooked.

The monarchy has retained strong support from the people (actual opinion polling), but online every little thing is picked at (even the results of the polls if there is ever a diminution of support in any particular age group).

The monarchy, despite dissenting voices, is a point of stability, national togetherness, pomp and circumstance, posh soap, familiar, traditional. A part of the national identity.

Would those who seek to do us harm wish to foster instability around the royal family? Course they would

What I really don’t understand is why people don’t believe she is simply ill.

Abdominal surgery, few months recovery out of the public eye. What’s so unbelievable about that?

This is a photo from 2020, Hello magazine.
Of course it could be a cold Spring day, Rose may have a head cold

This podcast is very interesting listening: https://www.tortoisemedia.com/listen/londongrad/

It may just be SEO clickbait, but the tortoise podcast really unpicks the potentially sinister motivations of the Lebedev family and how they may pose a very real threat to UK security.

This article is from the other thread from 2016. So the press have been tracking Rose since then..

Agree with PP that they're alluding to what they can't say outright. I would assume they're prodding the edges of the media blackout preventing UK press from printing the story about William & Rose that went out in Australia & the US (the 'Prince of Pegging' thing).

Not that we can hold much weight with what foreign press print, obviously, but the rumours of William & Rose have been bubbling for years and are openly discussed on SM. General consensus seems to be that Rose is his Camilla.

Yet another reason to wish there was a total media blackout on discussing the royals because, well, yawn.

Not sure why anyone would agree that the likeliest scenario is that the foreign press knows that W is shagging RH and is a fan of a particular non mainstream sexual practice and it hasn’t made the UK press v it being SEO clickbait or the influence of the Lebedev family which is known as a threat to UK security. Unless you enjoy salivating over scurrilous gossip, either of the other scenarios are far more newsworthy. And worrying.

I couldn't give a shit about a single one of them and would delight in never hearing about them ever again, gossip or otherwise.

I just think the press are arseholes and don't like being restrained from printing scandalous shite to make more money They know scandal sells, as that particular story did when printed abroad.

If Rose and Willie were shagging I am surprised that Pippa called her child Rose …just a thought 🤷‍♀️

@CoffeeCantana So let me ask you what are you thoughts on M & H. If you are in that pitch and nasty crowd about them, that will make you a hypocrite.

Incidently, I don't get any pleasure out of what is happening at KP. Whilst I don't like Kate behaviour in all of the past 8 years over 8 years, I certainly don't wish her harm.

If anything being said is true and there is good reason to think there is some truth, then I am concerned for Kate wellbeing.

Incidently, it wasn't an edited photo. It was a manipulated photo. The 4 biggest photo agencies in the world, including AP and Reuters, have killed the photo because of manipulation.

Oh, and BTW, I don't believe Kate put that photo out there or edited it. She has been used as a fall guy

Not that we can hold much weight with what foreign press print,

This is hilarious. 😄You guys claim to have a media blackout over there and only the media in the rest of the world are free to publish the truth; 😎then you cast doubt on the ability of the media in the rest of the world.

I think we're being prepped for a William and Kate divorce yes.
