William Threatened Tatler and Camilla's niece help plant story

[WhatAreThey]

In the audio, the journo explains what happened when she referred to Kate as being thin.
William rang Tatler and The Daily Mail, arranged lunch with them and his staff to plant stories.
Camilla's niece who works at Tatler helped him twisted the true position to be favourable to William and Kate.

She says no British print media is allowed to say anything negative about Kate or William. The negative stories must be about Harry and Meghan.

This is democracy in 21st century Britain.

And what better way to prove they're not puppets than to commission an article or three from Ms Pasternak? She's not daft.

The floodgates are definitely opening on the bullying allegations against M&H

Well, that's good - if the allegations are true, Harry and Meghan should not be protected.

I'd also very much like to know if they're applicable internationally, Stormzy, or only in the country where they were signed

I've googled it of course, but keep seeing that it depends on the statutes in the "other country", which doesn't really get me any further

Any kind of contractual agreement, including an NDA, will have a governing law clause setting out what legal system applies to it, and which courts have jurisdiction to enforce it. So Palace employment contracts, which will likely include the obligations to keep everything you learn in the course of your role confidential, will be governed by English law and subject to the English courts.

This means you generally have to enforce that obligation in the courts of England. If your former employer had moved to, say, Italy and started telling all about you in Italy, you still have to bring your claim in England first and then enforce the English judgement against them in the courts in Italy.

if what they are doing is against the general law in Italy anyway - I don’t know, but imagine the former employer stole your diary and was publishing it in Italy for example - then you could go straight to the courts in Italy to stop that. But if you need to rely on your NDA to argue that what they are doing is wrong, you have to start with its governing law/governing courts.

Yet again many thanks, @Serenster - that clarifies things very helpfully

This.
It's exactly what he said.
No wonder they upped and left, I would to with that level of toxic shit show.

Something has provoked this revival, in fairness. A couple of royal stories from before Megxit are being revisited. Maybe what exactly the catalyst is will become clear. Maybe not.

It's also undoubtedly true that some horse trading goes on between the palaces and the respectable media. That can't be stretched to say the RF control the press, though, and certainly not the tabloids.

If you could believe a word he said.

But..... this whole thread is on what it's being said now by someone else who's in the business?!
So if you think critically, why would it not be true if they're just basically confirming what he said a year or so ago in his book?!

But it’s not “now”, is it? It’s an old story from 2020. It’s quoted in @Nono22972 ’s post on page 2. It was an article that William threatened to sue for defamation over because it was an attack on Carole Middleton amongst other things

I don’t have an instagram account so can’t click on the link but I thought this was an old story?
With regards negative stories concentrating on M&H. Harry is the gift that keeps giving so there is no need for any persuasion or agreement there. This is the guy who is staying silent on the African Parks scandal and who wants us to foot 60% of his huge legal bills that he’s racked up, taking his vanity case against the home office to court, the cheeky so and so.

I was under the impression that it was the toxic shit show that upped and left…

Unfortunately, the credibility of the Sussexes is very low. Their amusement value is quite high, though.

even if you believe that William has this power who is leaking on Harry now. Kensington palace have no insight and if anything the rumours and bad press have got worse, some are speculative nonsense but some have turned out to been true. The reality there are gossips everywhere, it’s why the royal families bubble is small. I know more shit about Harry, Meghan, William, Catherine, Charles and Camilla from Harry than I have got from the tabloids in the last ten years.

They upped and left because they didn't get their own way. And are still pretty miffed they're out. But of course it's somebody else's fault. It always is with them. So that's nothing new.

Yes, and it was such a "toxic shit show" they've continued to trade on their titles and links 4 years on! 😂
As if.

A load of stirring then, sounds like the writer messed up and can’t see that

“carve out a progressive new role within this institution”

^^ What H&M wanted.

^^ Also what H&M didn't get.

Followed by a 4 year flounceathon, with a jam topping. This is a carnival sideshow, not camelot. And I rather imagine the sideshow is fairly lucrative for everyone involved except H&M. I wonder when they'll notice?

Carve out a progressive new role. Hmm. Means take as many freebies as they could. Make money on the side. Elbow to the front on all royal occasions. Carry on whining and causing trouble.

Wonder why the Queen said no way.

I know I am pretty ancient but my memory is still good and I distinctly remember them wanting to stay but on their terms .
Laughable when you look back . As if the late Queen would “ collaborate “ with those two numpties 😂

Yes, me too. Especially the presumptuousness of 'collaborating' with the head of state; and actually thinking HM was going to let that slide. PH woefully underestimated his DGM and forgot that not only was she head of the family, she was head of the Family and was perfectly capable of keeping the two entities apart.

As we saw and he learned; or more likely, didn't learn

A wise woman HMTLQ, she knew a 'bum deal' when she saw one. Shame Spotify didn't have her foresight.

HM had been dealing with all sorts of people much tougher than Harry for decades and was a very shrewd operator. I'm sure it pained her a good deal to say 'Nope, you're not having that' to a loved grandson but she was looking at the good of the Royal Family above the family. And as it turns out, she was an even better judge of character than she knew.

And have chosen to use the titles Prince and Princess for their children……
