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.

Staying on the theme of Harry’s temper, we also recently learnt, via Andrew Lownie, that Harry punched his uncle on the face and gave him a bloody nose.

Not sure where @LipglossAndLies stands on that 🤷‍♀️

Which uncle?

I imagine standing very far away, probably in the opposite direction!

I imagine it will be like this 🥨

And yet so many people on here seem willing to swallow whatever story is presented to them in the Daily Mail that day!

@Vivienesarches689, there are at least a dozen writers who produce material for the Daily Mail on matters royal, often contradictory and a mixture of ‘reporting’ and ‘opinion’. Moreover, Alison Boshoff appears to have been part of the Sussex PR WhatsApp group, whereas Richard Eden says he wasn’t.

I think it’s pretty naive to characterise other posters the way you have. I can’t see a single poster as a matter of fact who ‘swallows whatever story is presented to them in the Daily Mail that day’. Posters here do, however, enjoy critiquing the Mail articles, carrying out their own flashes of revisionism, and building some alternative narratives.

Who wants to be fed Liam McGuire’s bullshit?

Not sure where you stand on my points about reputable people and in house staff talking about Williams temper.

Im not going round saying Harry doesnt have one or Meghan isnt a bully. Im not someone who is saying they believe one set of sources but when similar sources are about William saying they don't believe it there is no evidence just because I havent seen it.

So whats yourr position on in house staff commenting on Williams temper...are you saying you don't believe them. Yet you believe in house staff saying Meghan is a bully.

AnAutumnCrow · 03/07/2026 05:37

Which authors, which books, which passages, and do you have the page numbers and/or quotes please?

That’s normally how the referencing of sources and evidence works.

Even a link to secondary sources would be handy.

Thedom · 03/07/2026 05:49

LipglossAndLies · 03/07/2026 00:02

Well then you are saying thatvwhat they have seen is not evidence so unless you see it with your own eyes you wont believe it.

Did you see Meghan bullying anyone? If not then there is no evidence so best not call her a bully then..by your own logic.

Did you see Meghan bullying anyone?

LOL, don’t even go there!!!! the world has watched Meghan’s bullying in real time, on many platforms, it’s why she is one of the most disliked celebs around.

I have seen plenty of threads on here that literally start with the op quoting a story from the DM or another tabloid. There have been plenty of them. Look back through the RF topic if you don’t believe me. People are literally following a tabloid narrative,

How peculiar. Who are these "house staff"? William and Catherine have no live in staff. Are they housekeepers? Window cleaners? Delivery people?
What exactly have they witnessed?

PoppysAunt · 03/07/2026 06:22

So. Plenty of photographic evidence of Harry losing his temper and getting "tired and emotional".
No-one thinks William is perfect but there's no evidence about him being anywhere near as vicious and out of control as this.
It's just more from Harry's unreliable memoirs.

Recklessismymiddlename · 03/07/2026 06:37

I’ll bite.

If I had a shit of a brother like Harry and a shit stirrer, of a sil like Meghan, I’d be hard pressed, if I was either William or Kate to keep my temper.

I’d have lost it long ago, with the pair of them.

And the first thing I’d do when I become king would be to strip them of their titles. That would really give them something to whinge about. They wouldn’t need to whinge about their royalness then. As their titles would be gone. Poof. Lucky for them I’m not William. Because I wouldn’t be taking this shit.

Thedom · 03/07/2026 07:00

I really admire William and Catherine for how they have endured so much at the hands of Harry & Meghan, they have remained classy and private, and are certainly reaping the rewards of being so dignified, as they are held in very high regard by the majority of the British public.

I can imagine William having a backbone of steel, but you would have to be a saint to not react to some of the shit thrown at William and his family by Harry, Meghan and their small army of mega fans. I really do hope, behind closed doors, he lets off steam about his malicious brother and sister in law, although at this point I imagine, if they do even bother to discuss them, they have also reached the point of rolling their eyes at them, like the rest of us. I would like to think William, Catherine and the Middleton family sit around the dinner table guffawing with laughter at whatever is the latest H&M P R disaster.

William and Catherine have the support of many, including close family and friends, the Sussex’s are at the other end of the spectrum, generally disliked and with little to none close family.

I already posted the biographers names they will have listed their sources in their books so why don't you go look it up. I don’t need to repeat it.

I checked out one, Robert Jobson. He never claimed that William lost his temper. The worst was that he got "frustrated".
Some of those authors have criticised William, which is fair enough. Do they actually have evidence of him losing his temper, though?

Classy people don't sit behind closed doors laughing at other people. They will acknowledge the other person has a different perspective and view on things, their aggreivances and even in the face of insults acknowledge the place it comes from and either have a degree of empathy or sympathy. Then just get on with their lives esp if they decide its over stepped a boundary they cannot forgive

That's what a mature classy adult would do. Not be revelling in it or laughing about it

Absolutely this.
Some people expect William and Catherine to act like saints against the onslaught of vicious lies from the Sussexes and their...fans.
Maybe he's got cross and frustrated at times? Who would blame him. Years of his own brother trashing him and his family for money.

I think you'll find the RF have done just that. Gone down the classy route. They've not publicly denounced Harry and Meghan for all that has been said, and it got nasty. No bite backs over Oprah, Netflix, Spare, the many interviews, the wild claims.
Nothing. They certainly haven't stooped to that level.
They've just carried on.

Sad that HAM can’t do the same

Thedom · 03/07/2026 07:23

Lipgloss, I really do hope William and Catherine are having a good laugh at the downfall of his brother and sister in law, considering how Harry and Meghan tried to destroy their reputation and lives, but that’s just me !

However, all reports indicate the opposite to what I would like to think, multiple reports say that even in their personal life (we know they don’t speak about them publicly) William and Catherine never mention Harry and Meghan’s name, good or bad. Their name just doesn’t come up in private conversations according to lots of sources.

William and Catherine certainly meet your criteria of classy, both in public and private !!!!

JSMill · 03/07/2026 07:42

I don’t think W and C will be laughing. I think they will go from being mortified at some of H and M’s antics to being worried about H’s mental health. If it was my family member, I would be.

Chimneyissues · 03/07/2026 08:11

BIL often accuses DH of things he’s done or acting a certain way, when it was in fact him. He then goes round and tells everyone his version of what happened. Harry’s behaviour is so familiar to me sometimes.

someone on twitter has pointed out they are saying they are in danger of a terrorist attack but have a children’s hospital in their itinerary- which they must have know before they organised it. Don’t they think at all?
