Well people take a moment of time on this board and tune it into something all the time and are suckered into that so funny how when its about their favourites they like to trot this out...its a moment of time blah blah

Quite amusing to see the bias that exists

Imagine if this was H&M there was already be a third thread by now about how he should at least taken a sip, how rude it was, why didn't Meghan k ow he drinks decaf and its proof they dont love each other or like other or live together they are divorcing and so on so on..I mean you can literally predict what they say now 😆

Nothing good that we can now say for certain

That's what I said. 🤷‍♀️

& @CathyorClaire - I can't directly find a source for this but I do recall it being reported W loaned Carole and Michael money to buy the upgraded house in Berkshire so that they didn't need to be in a chain selling the previous one. I think I'm right in this - ie being reported , no idea about W's bank account. I also think the Middletons did say they wanted a larger property so that when their daughter and son in law came to stay they had room for security staff. Look I can google as well as anyone else , but that is genuinely my recollection from the press stories at the time. 😊

Yes I remember reading that too. It's a pity he didn't pay off the creditors that were brought to their knees when the Middletons party business went bust. They kept ordering from those small businesses knowing they could never pay for their services.

I wonder would anyone else on MN be expected to pay off their in-laws debts?

They are not expected to, just like they ' can't be expected to reveal their tax. But they are not any family. They are the Royal Family, and get special privileges as a result, from us. They are billionaires, paying for millionaires to have a free house while small businesses were left out of pocket. It demonstrates how much they care about us plebs, no matter what they say or how much ' middle class cosplay' they engage in. They simply couldn't care less unless it threatens their ability to shovel as much cash into their coffers as they can. And that's without the questions over how the Middletons were allowed to suddenly become a limited company when it looks like they were at risk of bankruptcy. They aren't 'expected' to do anything, and they don't, unless it is for their own benefit or to keep their family on the Throne.

As said either on this thread or another one KC3 has done fuck all about the huge illegal waste dump on lands owned by the Duchy of Lancaster. Andy Burnham has spoken about it this week and the misery being heaped on local residents. It’s amazing how the RF can weasel their way out of a situation which would have any other landowner in court.

Bottom line is.. when your inlaws don't pay up and you are a billionaire member of the royal family, it's not right if your extended family don't pay the small people

If you are a billionaire and your father was a double billionaire, I would have thought so.

If I was a billionaire skimming millions from a government sworn to my Papa and his decendants I might consider it.

Perhaps Harry might consider paying off his father in law’s medical debt too.

Canada, via PM Mark Carney, has just said that AMW should be removed from the line of succession as 'a point of principle' for alleged actions he described as 'deplorable'.

🤣👏👏

Of course small businesses shouldn’t be left out of pocket by the awful grifting Middletons when their inlaw is a billionaire supported by the taxpayer!

That picture of Ma Middleton at the races grinning like a jackal sporting an expensive handbag. Uggh. Very bad optics.

got to shoe horn Harry into a thread that is nothing about him.
he also has no relationship with the man. Unlike PW who is said to be very close to the Middletons.

Perhaps the bag was a present from Kate?

Plus William has paid for a house for his in laws, allowing them to carry on enjoying their luxury holidays. What he hasn't done is paid off their debts to the small businesses they shafted, or to the exchequer for unpaid tax they owed. Clearly his potential subjects aren't even a consideration to him.

Why not his daughter? She has plenty of $$$$s

I agree about the optics its judt awful imagine being one of those small business shafted out of money, having to work harder to keep it afloat or make up the shortfall, the stress on top. .maybe even having to left other people go all while seeing the person who caused it still living a life of luxury.

it's not right if your extended family don't pay the small people

For clarity, I don't think it's ever right if someone doesn't pay what they owe the 'small people'.

I'm just thinking of in-laws, and AIBU threads. How far out are we suggesting the responsibility goes? 'Unto the third and fourth generation'?

The so called royals have thousands of exemptions from laws the rest of us follow and should therefore ensure they are beyond reproach . Do any of us have bills unpaid or ignored debt ? I doubt it

But the creditors are the least of it unfortunately. That family have a long history of befriending and protecting pedophiles.
Mountbatten . Charles and Saville . Andrew and Epstein .
They are disgusting .

This morning I have had a reply from my MP in response to me asking that AMW's Trade Envoy records are released. And my reasons. It really is worth writing to your MP

I am writing to inform you that we have written to the Department for Business and Trade, to highlight your concerns in this area with them and to request a formal response in writing that addresses the points which you have made.

That is their reply ⬆️ and that they will be back in touch when the hear from the relevant Minister.

Thank you for doing that @simpsonthecat and for the encouragement!
