How was Kate 'so good to him'? She was desperate to marry William and would have sucked up to any member of that family to be accepted in, let alone William's brother.

Not so good to him that she couldn't welcome the woman he wanted, and not so good to him that she couldn't resist side-eyeing and smirking with Zara and co throughout his wedding service. And complaining because Meghan didn't give her an Easter gift, fgs.

Can you prove this

I believe the King is very very unwell and that William will be king sooner rather than later.

Me too.

This is what I think too. I believe William knows this and ends are being tied up to prepare for a handover.

The various European Royal families all have multiple palaces and castles, lavish jewel collections and immense private wealth. They have all had drama, divorces and extended family who have sailed close to the wind or been outright criminals. The 'bicycling royals' is a convenient myth.

Well at least he'll have a companion in disgrace. I don't think it would have reflected well on Fergie to have abandoned him wholly in his trial (deserved though it might be) after living off him and the lifestyle he provided for tears. Her profligate spending was part of the reason he had to go groveling to Epstein for cash and keep him inside as a 'friend'

Yes she should be with him. Perhaps they'll even remarry.

Apparently she is finding her own home.

Yes he is doing it his way. Publicly trashing and embarrassing his brother and family and the sister in law who had been so good to him.

Not to mention the poor old Queen in her extreme old age.

@LunaDeBallona Charles doesn’t seem unwell - he’s active, out and about etc.

Just a taster of how wealthy they are:

Exactly. It doesn't take much research, does it?

Thank god! Statement is better than expected too

Flatbellyfella · 30/10/2025 22:45

So who is the ex prime minister pal of Andrew Mount anything who also raped Virginia?

I don’t think you can really say Andrew’s been thrown under the bus here given his own past conduct, including lying about his contact with Epstein, is the reason why he’s facing consequences. Jes Staley, ex-CEO of Barclays lost his job and has been banned from working the City for the same reason. They are reaping the consequences of their own choices.

He threw himself under the bus, because he was pompous enough to do the Interview with Emily Matlis and think he could win everyone over.

BeanQuisine · 30/10/2025 22:48

It's a good move, but it really needs to be followed by Charlie and all the others losing their daft titles too, being kicked out of their ridiculous palaces and forfeiting their estates to the British public.

They could probably find themselves a plastic castle in Disneyland somewhere, where the royalty fans can pay to gawp at them and continue following their tawdry misadventures.

ShenandoahRiver · 30/10/2025 22:48

I read that it’s an ex Israeli prime minister.

Ridiculous. Harry has done nothing wrong. Unless distancing himself from a corrupt and toxic family is wrong.

@LunaDeBallona Charles doesn’t seem unwell - he’s active, out and about etc.

He's got cancer, and he can live with it for years, or it could suddenly progress. The man across from me was given months to live and lasted about six years.

So, I imagine like most families they're preparing for the worst and hoping for the best.

And there he was thinking the interview was a success. His arrogance is staggering, bet he's regretting it now.
I think there's definitely more to come out and KC has been briefed, so he's taken action before it does.

IcedPurple · 30/10/2025 22:52

TightlyLacedCorset · 30/10/2025 22:23

Blimey. I didn't hear the news! His titles are getting formally stripped, wow!! Didn't think that would happen.

Despite this statement mentioning the victims, the cynic in me feels the true reason they have gone this far is because of the existential threat it served to the royal family. And in contrary fashion, whilst I'm glad that stronger action was taken (how sad Giuffre had to die before anything happened) this whole sorry debacle just epitomises how horrible it must be to be royal and have to take these sorts of ameliorative punitive measures just so the institution can continue.

Question: If Andrew Mountbatten Windsor was to be served a subpoena today, by the Americans, in order to answer questions (I guess there is no case anyway but theoretically) could he avoid it like he did in the past, during which time his status had previously protected him?

How can 'the Americans' serve a subpoena against a British citizen resident in Britain, prince or not? They have no jurisdiction.

Imaginethatifyoucan · 30/10/2025 22:43

He honestly looks fine to me. I mean, he looks his age - 76! But not unwell.

I hope I’m right as I was never keen on Charles, but have developed a bit of a soft spot for him in recent years.

Serenster · 30/10/2025 22:53

The FBI have closed their investigation into Epstein - there will be no subpoena.
