Will they stay at Royal Lodge? I really hope it all works out for KC and to see his grandchildren would be lovely.

Harry is wearing a baby blue linen shirt and a black 'Invictus Australia' baseball cap. Meghan is wearing a darker blue and white striped shirt.

I mean its been well reported William has a temper there was that scene where he called his security on a photographer following him and his children on a bike ride but I think that was justified and its not like he punched him he comes across as tightly controlled at times very much like his grandmother Charles is emotional in a tearful way Andrew and Harry are fruit loops zero control crashing out over everything ann comes across as very unstoppable

That's not evidence of William losing his temper. That is evidence of him being a vigilant and protective parent. The only "evidence" of his temper comes from the questionable ramblings of his brother Harry, who was monetising private family stories, so had to spice them up. Harry is not a reliable witness.

Have you watched the video of this? He barely even raises his voice and he has every right to be pissed off. He’s protecting his three - at the time very - young children.

Also before he speaks to the man, he ensures Kate and the children can ride off - a man with a quick temper wouldn't always be able to stop and ensure maximum safety for wife and children before engaging.

Absolutely, it's a strong, measured man and protective of his family. No loss of temper.

Well reported? By whom and when? Have you seen him loose his temper?
Its simply lies spread by the Harry and then the SS which shows that if you repeat something often enough people start to believe it.
There is no evidence at all that William has a temper any worse than anybody else.
When Catherine dropped out of public view because of her surgery and then the discovery of cancer the lies that were spread about ‘William’s temper’ were dreadful- absolutely disgusting .
Seems you fell for the lies and hyperbole.

Absolutely this x 💯.
Well said.
It's a vicious, nasty rumour, spread by Harry and his ill informed fans. There is no evidence whatsoever for William having a bad temper. The incident posted didn't show that at all!
Those threads when Kate was ill were absolutely vile.

Theunamedcat · 02/07/2026 22:56

Having a temper is not the same as constantly losing your temper? I described the video I saw of him clearly nothing to do with hyperbole harry and his fascinating "facts"

Quite. I've yet to see evidence of this from a reliable source.

Actually its been spoke about by royal biographers and in house staff and reporters all of which you can find yourself with a quick google search. So I do think with all those additional sources its not just a lie or made up.

If I had a brother like Harry I too might be a tad short tempered !
Seriously , have never seen any evidence of W being bad tempered.

I always think he shows remarkable restraint. If my brother invaded my privacy for money and told lies about me and my spouse I wouldn't hold back!
Nasty piece of work.

No evidence whatsoever. Not "spoke about" .
A nasty rumour monetised by Harry.
Who has a less than lovely personality, so if I was him I wouldn't throw stones.

Don't forget though that William snapped Harry's necklace, broke the dog's bowl and told Harry not to bother him when Harry started at Eton! Most parents would probably think they'd hit the jackpot if a dog's bowl was all that got broken with two teenagers living in the house and I would guess that 95% of older siblings tell the younger ones to keep away from them at school!

True! William is only two years older, he wasn't an adult. Most kids give their siblings a wide berth at school - you don't want them hanging around!
No evidence of a bad temper, until Harry spiced it up!

So are you calling Robert Jobson and Robert Lacey liars then? They have both said he has a temper. Or Tom Quinn who interviewed in house staff? Are you saying those staff are liars too?

My2cents1975 · 02/07/2026 23:32

Repeating a false narrative does not make it true. There is video of H smashing a photographer's camera, Taylor Hawkins states that H slapped him out of the blue and the Australia grifters getaway featured H being handsy with a lifeguard. H was quote "born angry" per nanny Barbra Barnes.

By contrast there is one video where William protects his young children while holding his temper.

These ridiculous attacks on William are driving his popularity as people who actually look for the video realise that the narratives are false and turn against those who spread false narratives!

Yet you don’t apply this logic to all of the reports on H&M’s behaviour over the years, funny that.

@LipglossAndLies your line of thinking is as follows

Anything derogatory about William is true
Anything derogatory about Harry and Meghan are all lies

Oh fhs! In truth, none of us know for sure what either of them are like!

All the snippets of interviews we see are pre-planned and curated and all of the articles, podcasts, and articles are largely supposition!

If Harry had been born before William, then William may have turned out to be the one who was causing issues. The phenomenon of the rebel second son is well known. It’s far easier to tow the line and have a strong purpose when you are inheriting the title and have inherited all of the money and the majority of the power.

I’m sorry but I just can’t go along with this simplistic narrative of Catherine and William> perfect in every way, and Harry and Meghan> dire in every way, Most reasonable people know that real life isn’t like that! And yet so many people on here seem willing to swallow whatever story is presented to them in the Daily Mail that day!

Also - according to that poster - any statement without proof attached is de facto a lie, apparently.

Oh ffs! I don't go along with that simplistic narrative either. Read my posts, not what you imagine I've written!
Harry has a bad temper, there have been episodes filmed and photographed.
There is no evidence that William has a bad temper, apart from Harry's famously unpleasant and factional narrative.
That is not the same as saying William perfect, ffs.
No-one has claimed that.
I'll take your word for what's written in the Daily Mail. I don't read it, but you do you
