Or so the DailyBeast claims, do you agree?

A former courtier, who worked with William at the palace, told The Daily Beast that the photo was likely a deliberate dig at his brother’s wife Meghan: “Nothing happens by accident when it comes to royal photos. It looks very much like he is trolling her.”

Alas

Kensington Palace declined to comment but a palace source told The Daily Beast: “HRH was handed a jar of jam by a fisherwoman who he met at Kalk Bay. I wouldn’t read any more into it than that.”

This is how the royals maintain a presence, folk regurgitating tittle tattle and gossip

I hope he paid her, they get enough freebies.

I doubt it. Grasping freeloaders never pay for anything

I like his style.
MM has trolled him and his wife enough over the last few years.

GreenClock · 07/11/2024 18:18

I am not pro-monarchy but I can’t see W behaving childishly like that tbh.

What an awful fake smile in that photo

I actually don’t think it is, a little shy IMO

“A former courtier”= we just made it up.

The whole royal family are grifters, graspy free loaders. Let’s not pretend otherwise

He looks scruffy in that photo and looks like he needs a good wash.

PrettyFlyforaMaiTai · 07/11/2024 20:39

I love a perfectly timed photo 🤣 😇

Definitely this.

Scraping the barrel there, DailyBeast. Trying to stir stuff up since M&H are quietly at home (or wherever) and William's had a good Earthshot trip to South Africa.

I take it this is very inexperienced Royal reporter. With a non-UK editor who also is not versed in decades of following the RF about

I don’t even think they realise how much ignorance they are showing

JaneJeffer · 08/11/2024 09:48

Why is he talking like this though "So I promised that wear it and try not to lose while I was out here."
🤔

I wonder how much they talk behind closed doors about the gullible public

Charlotte's what, 8 or 9? Big emotions time, especially with her mum being unwell. She's probably a little overwrought from time to time (I know my similar-aged kids are very much like that).

I'd probably not have mentioned that part of it in an interview, but maybe his mouth ran away with him.

CathyorClaire · 08/11/2024 09:56

I suspect he was handed a surprise jar of jam and that's it.

I don't think he has the wit, imagination or sense of humour for anything more.

JaneJeffer · 08/11/2024 10:11

Grouchy** I just meant the bad grammar Grin I think it's lovely he's wearing the bracelet Charlotte made for him.

"Kensington Palace declined to comment but a palace source told The Daily Beast: “HRH was handed a jar of jam by a fisherwoman who he met at Kalk Bay. I wouldn’t read any more into it than that.”"

I notice the article ends like this.

What a nothingburger. What was William supposed to do when handed jam, throw it at an aide and demand the photographers at the event delete their photos?

I've never believed the accusations of Harry and Meghan trolling the Royal family when they do perfectly normal things, I'm not going to start believing it the other way round either.

soupfiend · 08/11/2024 11:00

I dont get it, on lots of levels

A woman hands him a jar of jam, is the claim that this woman isnt genuine and some sort of set up?

What does that have to do with Megan, how he is 'trolling her' ?

Heh! Oops. Grin

Itoldyousoo · 08/11/2024 11:38

Sour fig jam 😂😂 definitely one from ARO

LaMarschallin · 08/11/2024 18:03

Sour grape jam?

CalicoPusscat · 08/11/2024 23:36

Meghan did not invent jam or trademark it.

A jar of jam is a jar of jam. William got handed one from a local. It's a load of rubbish to suggest this was a spite campaign. It wouldn't take long to find out if it's a local produce. Plenty of people make jam!
