Palace are reported to be concerned about Catherine and Williams growing friendship with tom cruise. They are concerned about them being recruited into Scientology.

Now I hope, that there is no realistic chance that they could be recruited into Scientology. But even having a future king and queen who are sympathetic to scientologists could help this cult. I do believe that Tom Cruise is becoming very friendly to Catherine and William to benefit Scientology in whatever way he can.

Is this one of those Russian botty things here to spread nonsense and misinformation, that we were warned about?.😅. If so, it's not very good...😅.

Do you mean Russian butty? What does it have on it? Is it as good as a chip butty? I haven't had a chip butty in ages.

Or did you mean a Russian bottom? Is that a euphuism? What does it mean? Is it another name for weak bladder, we've had one of those on here already

Poorly thought out effort all round if you're still here, OP. Needs more work, the off the cuff 'I hear that the palace is....' stuff never really works without a good solid background of rumour and innuendo to expand on.

Will she return?
@Constantrunner where are you?!
Come back!

I'm wondering whether the USA has an equivalent of Mumsnet and they are having an interesting conversation about Tom Cruise's friendship with William & Catherine being concerning as they are trying to convert him to the Church of England . . . .

Catherine looked absolutely stunning that I evening, and Tom Cruise was more than happy to escort her. I think it's the green eyed monster 👿

Oh I thought she looked a bit old fashioned in the purple gown, it was a bit billowy and very staid. I don't think purple looks great on her as much as other colours like yellow, green and blue (as well as black & white). She did look fabulous at the Mission Impossible premier in a black gown with a white trim. I do think Tom Cruise is rather taken with her...

And I do think that there may be some credence to this issue as it is thought that Scientology wanted Tom Cruise to recruit the Beckhams, but they were having none of it. It is a very greedy and dark organisation, full of delusional beliefs and control. Why is it beyond the realms of possiblity that they would try and rehabilitate themselves using Tom Cruise, their no 1 star celebrity?

Why are people being so unnecessarily nasty on this thread, its a bit weird.

We could do better. If we were so inclined.
We could also repair a certain non working couple’s reputation in a matter of weeks. If they were so inclined to listen.

I don't think she looked "staid", I think she looked fabulous.
Yes, it's totally beyond the realms of possibility that the Heir to the Throne and his wife, both intelligent people and conscientious and committed working royals would countenance such nonsense.
It's a story concucted because some people can't think of any other kind of accusation to make against them.
It's so pathetic it's risible.

They persist in a friendship with Mary Berry, even though she hasn’t been on Bake Off for years, thus showing how completely out of touch they are.

And profoundly offensive to everyone who does not own, or does not look good in a floral jacket.

😂😂😂😂😂
But is it beyond the realms of possibility? I thought Tom looked old fashioned in that suit, so that's evidence that he wants to convert to the C of E.
We know how they like jumpers.

”Why are people being so unnecessarily nasty on this thread, its a bit weird.”

What has been so unpleasant? Because the thread is either meant to be a joke or started to undermine the couple. Are we meant to pretend it was sincere?

Mary Berry's floral jacket looks staid. You don't think she wants to convert to Scientology?.

People are having fun, because taking seriously a story from a Pakistan news-trawling site, based on unconfirmed rumour from an author of a book about the immediate royal family dying and Lilibet becoming Queen, would be totally ridiculous.

fuschiaproudparrot · 04/10/2026 16:58

Is your bra too tight @Constantrunner? Knickers in a twist ? Come on 😂😂😂😂. Is this the same kind of speculation as Meghan Markle and her bodyguard ?

This is a fascinating insight in to the thoughts of one of those people who wait hours and hours, waving their little flag, just to be able to see a glimpse of royalty

and just as I thought…. Unusual characters shall we say!

POI.

I am not waving a flag. I am waving a cake fork.

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 04/10/2026 16:59

It's not being nasty, it's taking the piss. And as OP hasn't been back to defend her stance, quite reasonably IMO

And that. I mean, if you want even a shred of credibility at least be careful of the sources you rely on.

Is this like Meghan and Harry being friendly with Beyoncé who is allegedly the leader of the illuminati ?

What's that got to do with William and Catherine though? They meet all sorts of people through their work. It doesn't mean they're ripe for conversion to some weird cult, especially as their role specifically requires them to be members of the Church of England.

Also, other than a handful of joint appearances at official events, have they actually spent any time with Cruise?

Yawn.

Better rumour- future Head of the Church of England is being seduced by Scientology to convert us all. If Wills goes, we all go…

I don't think that you can call 'it is thought' something to base credence on. I mean, if Tom Cruise had approached the Beckhams it would be all over the Mail site, because that family is worse than the Sussexes for over sharing mind-numbing minutiae of their lives in that particular paper.

Yes.
However is it really beyond the realms of possibility that Beyonce' leads the Illuminati and William and Catherine will be drawn in and converted?
Is it? Is it really??
I saw Beyonce' in a staid pair of trousers once.
It proves it.

No ! Keep up mrsdanvers …..Saville and ball are the new “what about Andrew?”

What on earth was all THAT about? You’re right about it replacing WAA (What about Andrew?).

When all else fails, let’s manufacture some ‘concern’ about dead paedophiles and living Scientologists controlling the RF. Desperate stuff.

"Why are people being so unnecessarily nasty on this thread, its a bit weird."

I don't think anyone is being unnecessarily nasty. The problem is that OP's theory that Tom Cruise is trying to convert William and Catherine to Scientology is weird and not just weird but downright idiotic. Sorry if that sounds nasty, but it is an objectively idiotic (and that's putting it mildly) suggestion.

I'm not sure Cruise is even a personal friend of the Walses. They simply went to the premiere of his most recent movie because it was filmed and produced in the UK and they were supporting the British film industry.

But, let's say OP does have a point, then it's quite heroic of her/him to be warning us of the impending conversion of the next head of state to Scientology. I mean, Cruise doesn't appear to have converted any other famous person to Scientology. But, just in case he's managing to entice people as level-headed and mentally solid as William and Catherine, we should be on the lookout for traces of Scientological tenets in their behaviour and the things they say. Thanks OP for warning us of this potentially impending scandal of the conversion of the heir to the throne by Tom Cruise!

I guess Harry was right to be so dismissive of John Travolta. Travolta was clearly trying to convert Diana to Scientology when he danced with her.
