You have no more idea of his plans than those you're criticising.

Given he's had obsequious press laying them out with increasing regularity despite Papa being alive and kicking I think we do.

More of the same and less transparency.

So you claim.

I doubt William's short of a bob or two to fund his spares, @losingstill - not now he has the Duchy of Cornwall funds and defninitely not when he's king

I agree that "what William will do" is at least partly based on hope though, and as I said on another thread the expectations are building up so much that he may be in for a pasting if he doesn't do them

Typo

Andrew Lownie is doing an excellent job of bringing down the House of York.

My only reservation about this is that it seems like a bit of a vendetta, given his description of hating Andrew at school so much they used to kick him when playing against him at rugby.

Edit: Sorry, second reservation is that I'm still uncomfortable about the inclusion in his book of the story of Andrew being abused as a child.

Edited

Andrew Lownie has been all over the BBC in the last couple of days. He obviously knows a lot about the Yorks but occasionally he has strayed into speculation about other royals that doesn't seem as well sourced. I hope the spotlight doesn't go to his head and lead him into murky waters because he has done a good job exposing the Yorks.

As to William, we won't know what he will do until he is King. I do wonder about how much his illness is affecting Charles and what sort of King he would have been in better health. We will never know.

I have never been lovvyong, but I suspect that's my Hungarian heritage. I have a chnagr outside on the bird feeder.

I think that is a very kind response to that post. As a teaching assistant, I’m used to terrible spelling but I found that post very challenging!

Let’s all cut William some slack, afterall his mother died and he had to walk behind her coffin, who can forget the vision of a heart broken child.

Absolutely. Perhaps William could make a Netflix series talking about this, or an interview with Oprah, or write a book detailing it all, or give magazine and tv interviews because it's bound to make him behave like an unpleasant twerp to his family, because they don't deserve privacy.
Also, it would make money ££££

Yes ! Absolutely, he needs to get His truth out there, I am sure there is just as much honesty and truth in his memories as there is in the truth.

Oh yes. His truth. That's the thing, it doesn't matter if it's all terrible, damaging lies, as long as it's his truth. That's what counts.
Did you know that his mother died when he was only a boy?
