Concerns about William and Catherine's friendship with Tom Cruise

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.

The Onion is indeed satire or a little wry look at events. Shite if you will. Funny satirical shite but shite.

The difference is that people know that it is poking fun at things because it is The Onion.

I’d be hesitant taking other things purporting to be news as gospel if I were not fairly certain it was a credible source.

Sometimes it is shite rolled in the glitter of pure fancy.

It is still just shite though.

Thanks All.

I did an assessment of my posts using ChatGBT. (Without saying it was my user name) and got what I’d expect and feel better.

Appreciate it.

I honestly do not ever intend to harm or distress anyone here.

I have been in the receiving end of robust ribbing and disagreement. I try not to get personal.

I am sure some are rolling their eyes at me, but I’m being sincere.

It is clear that you do not try to harm anyone on here. I saw this yesterday and thought 🤷‍♀️ but didn't want to fan the dying flames. The OP started a thread based on a dodgy link. It has become a thread - funny at times based on such a ridiculous premise. So what ? We see too much on here of the trying to portray comments as bullying or ganging up on posters. I'm a long time poster here and can remember the bad old days when certain people - I could name them now and I have seen the offensive discussions they have had in another section on MN - adopted similar tactics. I also see some people posting aggressively on other current threads too as well as in the RF section. I didn't see the deleted post but don't take it to heart @TheOvertGardener.

This is the saddest post ever. Who cares who these weird people are friends with, It will never make the slightest difference to any of us. I’d think of something else to be concerned about out.

It’s called free speech. I think people are allowed an opinion are they not?

There's one on every thread. The Oliver Cromwells of MN.

It's not nonsense that Tom Cruise will be building a friendship at the behest of scientologists. This is what they do. They used famous scientologists to recruit other famous people or at minimum to get them to do favours for Scientology.

Now I am not saying this will work. But I think the palace is right to keep a close eye on this.

Can you please provide definitive proof that the Prince and Princess of Wales are friends with Tom Cruise?

About the only good thing now about this thread is that it is nearly 40 pages and thus FINISHED. It's got to be in the running for the daftest premise for starting a thread that I've seen on this board for a long time.

Other boards are available if this one does not suit.

It certainly has, but I'm archiving it for when people say "is this the most ludicrous thread ever?" and I can produce this! Hold my beer!

My sarcasm has been misinterpreted as mockery here so I am attempting to tread lightly.

I don’t find it sad at all that people are chatting about world events and news articles they found in order to pass the time.

What motivated you to make this post? Is commenting on posts an effort to make others feel foolish how you pass your time?

So do tell us, what are fit subjects for our interest? and why should we only discuss things that are going to make a difference to us?

Still, at least you managed not to say 'these people don't care about you, why do you care about them, you haven't even met them??' so brownie points for that.

OwningItOneSpikeAtATime · 13/10/2026 16:15

I wonder if they are actually declaring their post as the saddest post ever. Maybe they wanted Tom to be their friend instead.

Maybe they want to find something to actually be concerned about. Like whether or not Branson beans are saucier than Heinz. Or vice versa.

OwningItOneSpikeAtATime · 13/10/2026 17:38

Branston not Branson.

Clearly. The autocorrect has gone a bit Richard.

William will be tbe futjre head of the yc of E.So I don't think Tom Cruise would make much headway converting them!

PrestonHood121 · 17/10/2026 15:30

Right. Haz would jump all over Scientology no doubt if it meant TC would give them the same attention.

EdwardNigma · 17/10/2026 16:33

Constantrunner · 04/10/2026 13:13

Okay so you all ignore the growing friendship with tom cruise who we know William be developing the friendship on behalf of Scientology.

Very naive.

Edited

Just what dire consequences do you envisage happening because of this? I have huge amounts of loathing and contempt for cults and I'm not in any way anti-royal, and even so I couldn't give a shit! There would be no impact to daily life. William isn't going to hand the throne to Xenu.

Look at the world around you, it's self-immolating. There are plenty of legitimate things to be worried about. This non-issue is a waste of everyone's time, including yours.

Rhaidimiddim · 17/10/2026 18:19

Are you worried at all that H was championed by, and accepted an award from, another Scientologist? Who had known his mum well enough to dine out on the fact ever since?

This thread still going….

Trutherwoke · 18/10/2026 00:03

They are friendly with people like Richard Brandon and many others in Epstein island, they drive with Andrew, Catherine is friends with racist people like this

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/8232340/Kate-Middletons-friend-questioned-over-racist-gun-threat.html

So Tom Cruise is the last of their issues or rather one more problematic friends
