Prince William is the ‘logical’ one, he ‘doesn’t let things get to him, like Harry does’

I still can’t get over the “happy generations” photo-op between Prince Charles and Prince William earlier this week, at the joint appearance between the Cambridges and Charles and Camilla. After years of acting like a brooding malcontent over his heir status, William has really been leaning into the Future King William narrative. It started happening as soon as you-know-who came around. That was when Future King and Future Queen started appearing across the royal coverage, and that’s when another narrative started happening: Harry is the emotional, high-strung, impulsive one and William is the wise, thoughtful, logical one. Here, put a bow on it:

Still dealing with the fallout — in their own ways. Prince William and Prince Harry have “different coping mechanisms,” a source reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly.

“Harry’s more sensitive and emotional than William – he takes everything so personally. He can be rather impulsive at times,” the source says. “Harry wants the world to know that no one should suffer in silence, which is why he opened up about [his late mother] Princess Diana and going to therapy.” According to the source, William, 37, is “a more logical thinker.”

“He doesn’t let things get to him, like Harry does. That’s not to say William has a heart of steel — he’s actually an incredibly loving and kind man, he just has a different way of dealing with emotions and is more level-headed than his brother,” the source explains. “If William has a problem, he’ll talk to Kate about it. William confides in her about everything.”

According to the source, the two brothers, who confirmed their falling out in October 2019, have only spoken “a couple times” about “business matters” after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s decision made headlines last month. While Harry seeks professional help, he also refers to Meghan, 38, as “his rock,” per the source.

“She knows everything about her husband and is constantly advising him,” the source tells Us. “He first opened up to Meghan about the trauma he went through dealing with his mom’s death shortly after they met – it was during their trip to Africa.”

For what it’s worth, I do think Harry is “the emotional one,” the traumatized one, the one who’s dealt with a lot of sh-t in therapy. The one who thought he was doing better, only to have old traumas come back to haunt him when he got married and had a baby and had to watch as his wife was bullied and smeared and targeted by the media and by his own family. William is… different. For a lot of reasons, many of which I’ve already said a million times. As for this piece… I don’t think William confides in Kate or uses her as his rock or anything. I do think William confides in Carole Middleton though, so… that’s something.

    Well, he looks like a king. He is already bald and unattractive (¬_¬) I hope Harry lives a happy life without looking back to that mess

    • Flamingo says:

      I mean if we are going on looks alone, Harry is also balding and not movie star attractive either. Harry’s personality is certainly more attractive, but looks wise I’d put them on the same level.

      • rachel says:

        Harry’s personality and kind heart eclipse any shortcomings with his looks.

        As far as I’m concerned, William is an ugly individual, inside and out. And can we talk about that egg head? I laugh every time I see it. Ugh.

      • Flamingo says:

        @rachel William certainly had further to fall. Circa 2000, he was gorgeous. Now, not so much. Harry has pretty much always looked like Harry, just with a little less hair now.

      • GuestWho says:

        @rachel. I don’t see an egg. I see a thumb.

      • Aria says:

        Lol harry was never attractive one. But people are drawn to harry beacuse of his goofy and kind personality in public. That’s why woman are drawn towards him even when William at his peak looks and girls only attracted towards him during that time. Nobody talks about how nice William was towards his staff or people in general. That’s why william hates harry because he takes after diana who has sympathetic towards people and genuinely happy to meet people . William hates those and always look like he was forced to be there. Kate only enjoy those people outing beacuse of harry tagging along, who look after her and William mostly forget she existed. I love how Kate stan mad at harry for leaving Kate behind and putting Meghan needs first before Kate’s. Those are crazy stans who says that harry should leave Meghan and stay in uk so Kate feels better. Those same stan argue that Kate has her hands full then why the hell she needs harry??

      • Becks1 says:

        Agree with others that William definitely had farther to fall. And it was a long fall! Looking at the Australia pics yesterday, he was much better looking back then compared to now, and I thought at that point he had already “fallen” lol.

        Objectively I don’t think Harry is handsome. But I feel like he carries himself better than William (more confidence, better fitting suits, IDK, its something), has a warmer personality, and his love for Meghan and willingness to stand up for her openly against the press really pushes him over the edge for me in terms of being good looking or not. (landing on the side of good looking)

      • Erinn says:

        I always thought Will was good looking. Ignoring his personality, he still has moments where I’ll see a tiny glimpse of that from time to time, but definitely not as much as when he was younger. But I can also see why people find him super unattractive, if that makes sense? I find he, like Kate, look better when they’re dressed more casually/outdoorsy, or interacting with the kids.

        Hair isn’t the be all and end all, (I suspect my husband will be thinning out, and I’m 100% fine with that) and I think Harry is a good example of that. Personality plays so much into it – Harry has a devilish kind of smile, and that can take you a long way. That, a sense of humor, and confidence can make up for it easily.

      • Amy Too says:

        William looks better when he’s wearing a hat and has his mouth closed. I think he had one of the ugliest smiles, his teeth are really bad.

      • carmen says:

        AmyToo – and he wore braces iirc??!!

      • (TheOG)jan90067 says:

        He definitely got the Windsor “horse mouth/teeth”: those big, yellow, oversized chiclets. His mouth is rather small for those big teeth, which is why he seems to “bare” his teeth rather than have a “genuine” smile most of the time.

        Thing is, when he is genuinely happy/engaged, a *real* smile will come out, but most of the time, all we see is that forced, “bared teeth” smile from him (like he’s clenching in a fart).

    • Zing! Oh Gil, that was too good and first out of the gate too. 👏🏼👏🏼 It’s amazing to me that all it took for William to heal all that hostility and anger he has supposedly had with Charles over the years, is Harry leaving the country. For all his support for mental health, he sure likes to pitch a different song about Harry. If you’re his brother — having emotions, seeking therapy, and speaking your truth — seems to be a weakness and a bad way to live. I find it interesting too that we are being run in a circle by his PR team. First he was silent and clinch-jawed, then his arms were tired from all the propping up of Harry, then he was incandescent with rage, then HE had reached out and healed the rift with Harry right before Harry left, then he was calling Harry every day, then he was extremely worried about fragile, manipulated Harry, and now here we are back at the silent, proper future king who has the appropriate set of emotions who doesn’t have that much contact with unstable Harry. Pleeeze!

      • Virginia says:

        Lol @JA you read my mind👏👏👏

      • GuestWho says:

        It’s all so predictable, isn’t it?

      • Tessa says:

        That staged photo of giggling William in the chair being pushed by Guffawing Dad was truly embarrassing.

      • Tessa says:

        The DM comments are vicious, and the usual ones talk about the Harry “paternity” rumors. That should have been firmly dealt with ages ago by the family. It is just disgusting. And I think this will eventually all come back to bite William. The media builds them up only to knock them down.

    • Andrew’s Nemesis says:

      He looks like a penis with teeth (as I always say)
      Now unthink THAT image

    • dota says:

      Are we allowed to mock fat people too now?

    • Scorpio ♏️ Rants says:

      Good grief …have you seen Harry’s bald spot? Looks just like William’s. And why are their hair follicles or lack there of relevant ?

  2. truthSF says:

    That’s a very evil, toxic family! I’m so glad Harry got himself and his family out of there!!

  3. Hope says:

    Anger is an emotion. William is so often described as incandescent with rage and we have so many pictures of him with a clenched jaw and hands in fists. He even showed frustration with Kate during the Flotilla so he can’t even keep it together in public.

    Seeing as William is supposed to be a champion for mental health, he knows that anger is an emotion no matter how much toxic masculinity denies it. Sarcasm and jokes that punch down are also exhibitions of emotion.

    It’s interesting that as much as William and Kate talk about mental health, we rarely ever hear them admit to any vulnerability in their own mental health. Harry was strong enough to do so and it doesn’t make him fragile or unstable, no matter how much gaslighting he receives about it.

    Regarding being the more logical one, neither brother seems that logical and both seem quite calculating. William had the advantage being the older brother and being an heir which got him more attention and deference.

    • CommentingBunnu says:

      Hear, hear!

      All of this.

      I can’t with people who claim that they are “logical” when they are hust as driven by emotion as the rest of us. They just think that their feelings make sense, so anyone who disagrees is being overly emotional while they are being logical. I hope that makes sense.

      If William was led by logic then he’d have wanted his incredibly popular beother and sister-in-law to keep working for the monarchy and realized that siccing the press on them might not be the very best strategy to accomplish that.

      • Becks1 says:

        YES!!! I hate when someone says “you need to be logical like me” or whatever. Or when someone says “calm down” or whatever. I’m calm, and I’m thinking rationally. I just disagree with you. I’m not sure if gaslighting is the correct word for that, but it comes close.

      • ElleV says:

        When people describe themselves as “logical” I usually take it as a euphemism for meaning they lack compassion and empathy, have a superiority complex, and feel threatened by people who think and act differently than they do. And GOD FORBID they are confronted with holes in their so-called logic. Cue the “incandescent” rage!

        Edit: Whoops! replied in the wrong spot before

      • pottymouth pup says:

        the fact that WIlliam is not emotional like his brother does not mean William is, by default, the logical one or even logical as they are trying to portray in this narrative, If William were, in fact, logical, he would have been able to make the best of the situation of his brother and new SIL’s popularity and had the tense to publicly push back on even the hint of racism directed at Meghan (he also would have made a huge showing of shaming that putz at the BBC who thought it was so cute & funny to post the picture with the monkey as a pic of the Sussex’s w/ Archie as any logical person knows that publicly putting the kibbosh on overt racism would have reflected very well on William had he done so).

    • Nahema says:

      ^ This completely.

      My sister and I went through a lot of trauma as kids. We ended up so close because of it. I was always the super emotional one and as a result, everyone said I was weak and the one who wasn’t coping, compared to my stoic, strong sister who didn’t show her emotions. Except I was dealing with it in my own way, which involved talking about it and crying. My sister’s emotions came out in violent rages and yet somehow people would still always talk about how strong she was compared to me. It frustrates me that anger and violence aren’t seen as emotions too. She was suffering and she would open up to me but nobody else saw it. I don’t think it’s her fault that she coped in that was and undoing past trauma and coping mechanisms takes a very long time.

      I don’t doubt that William and Harry deal with things differently but they’ve experienced the SAME trauma and it seems really unfair to make out that only one is suffering.

      • Mac says:

        The bottom line is they did not get the support they needed in dealing with their mother’s death and it has had a lasting impact on how they express themselves as adults.

    • Jay says:

      Well said. Anger and petty jealousy are certainly emotions, and given that it’s been clear that the royal reporters won’t publish anything contrary to the palace’s wishes, we have to assume this story is sanctioned by William and his allies. How embarrassing. They must honestly think this comes off well. Can you imagine working for someone who thinks this sort of story makes him look good? Delusional.

    • carmen says:

      champion for mental health – yeah, right.

    • Noodle says:

      Anger is fear in disguise. For all his reported tantrums and pouting and incandescence, he is hiding some very real fears in that head. And the hiding of them is doing him no favors. They will come out eventually, or he will self-destruct to keep them under wraps.

    • aang says:

      Anger is a reasonable response to childhood trauma. I was very angry for a very long time. It was the only unpleasant emotion I allowed myself because no other emotion felt safe, it was how I protected myself. But once I saw the damage it caused to those around me, to my relationships, I worked hard with therapist to allow myself to feel sad, scared, vulnerable, betrayed, instead of defaulting to anger. William can do the same, and he won’t be “fragile” as a result. He is plenty old enough to take responsibility for his emotions, even if they are hard to process because of childhood trauma.

      • Noodle says:

        @aang, anger is a way to feel powerful when underneath it all, you feel pretty powerless. Thank you for sharing your journey; it’s through the sharing of experiences that people realize they aren’t alone. Being alone is one of the most difficult and painful lies of trauma.

    • Virginia says:

      @Hope you explained it very well the differences between the brothers are there for us to see it….team Sussex!

    • Tessa says:

      I think William is the one with the temper. He also seems rather cold to me and offputting.

    • notasugarhere says:

      William is as thin-skinned as Charles and Diana. Harry is the best, and most grounded, one of the bunch.

      • Tessa says:

        I think William is most like his father in nature. He tends to moan and I think he has the same temperament.

      • Shiloh says:

        Hogwash. Harry is as sensitive and as thin-skinned as they come. Both brothers are problematic.

      • notasugarhere says:

        Tessa, both Charles and Diana were as thin-skinned and manipulative as William. Harry got the best of both parents, William got the worst.

      • MJM says:

        Shiloh, William is protected by the establishment whereas Harry had to endure horrendous media abuse of his wife and newborn. If you think his reacting to that is thin skinned then you are pretty unempathetic and cold hearted.

    • ElleV says:

      Whoops replied in wrong spot

  4. brinibini says:

    Don’t forget that he’s also the hot and more handsome brother! lol

  5. Nina says:

    William is a vile person.
    A two faced back stabbing troll.
    He is as insecure around Harry as Charles used to be around princess Diana

    • Chrissy says:

      Yes!

    • Tessa says:

      Us Magazine seems to be an outlet for the Cambridges who have been declared saints there.

    • Lady2Lazy says:

      Yes!! When it was just the three of the, they got along smoothly without a care in the world. Once Meghan arrived, the shift changed from W&K to H&M. Will has watched his brother grown into a young man that is warm, endearing, empathetic, approachable and seems to get along with everyone no matter the socioeconomic position. Harry has been a shining light to the Firm as he has presented a royal who wants those around him that everyone matters and everyone has a voice. I would also like to note that when Meghan entered the fold, Will was not as keen on Meghan as Harry was. Here we have a beautiful, driven, woman who is not afraid of getting her hands wet and worked for some time during her pregnancy. The problem for Will was Kate, as Kate felt the spotlight was stolen from her in order to capitalize on her accomplishments. They dig their grave and now they can sit in as they continue their hateful leaks and resentment
      Sorry about the long post…

    • Lady2Lazy says:

      Spot on!! Will hates that the public love Harry much more than they do William. Let’s face it, Harry is Diana’s son!

    • Liz version 700 says:

      I could totally see him believing this. He is so arrogant that it would never occur to him that emotionally abusing those around you is unhealthy

  6. Romi says:

    And so the smearing campaign continues… das.

    • Bella DuPont says:

      Yes. Apparently, Canada’s not far enough away for William to start feeling secure in his future kingship and general awesomeness again. There’s still more belittling to be done yet.

      • Where'sMyTiara says:

        The crazy thing about it is, the more Workshy Wanderdick tries to smear Harry & Meghan, the worse Workshy makes himself look.

        Every time Workshy points the finger at Harry, he’s putting a spotlight on his brother and as a result ends up putting himself in the shadow. It has the exact opposite effect of what he’s actually trying to achieve. And so these leaks about mental infirmity backfire and Wills looks even more stupid and he gets into a pissy tantrum about it.

    • anon says:

      And now with extra doses of gaslighting!

  7. Mira says:

    If William has a problem, he’ll talk to Kate about it. William confides in her about everything. — Does this mean he confided in her about the delights and difficulties of tending rose bushes?

  8. S808 says:

    Both seem emotional to me and William may be worse cause he doesn’t seem to have an outlet for his emotions other than his family members.

  9. Becks1 says:

    I just find this narrative so contrary to their mental health campaign.

    It’s good to talk about it and need therapy – but only if you are “emotional” or “Fragile,” someone like William is “level headed” and doesn’t need therapy.

    It’s bothersome in terms of how William is being portrayed vs Harry, obviously – harry is impulsive, harry doesn’t think things through, etc – that’s clearly reinforcing the idea of Harry as the wilder brother, the out of control spare (and probably also reinforces Harry’s choice to leave as the right one) – but it really bothers me in terms of how this narrative contrasts with their mental health campaign.

    • GuestOne says:

      Yes it’s interesting because the Telegraph is reporting today that William has been writing to children who have lost parents for years, encouraging them to keep talking about that parent to preserve their memory& the importance of being open about grief.

      I think this is a beautiful gesture. And interesting that Harry is getting shade here& generally for being open about his grief.

      I have always felt sorry for Harry& William being caught up in press war between their parents& the embarrassment of the affair revelations etc. if it was true that Diana leaned on William too much, that would make things hard for him with his remaining parent& can understand if there’s bitterness& resentment there. The question is has he done anything to deal with any underlying issues.

      • Samsara says:

        I think you’re both right. I think there is way too much judgement in general about the way that both of them cope. I’m sure that lots of things that go on in the press are actually a personal battle between the brothers, playing out in a public forum and the public happily watch the entertainment and pick sides, forgetting that these are two brothers who have both experienced something terrible. We don’t have all the facts and perhaps we need to hold back on our judgement.

        From the POV of the mental health campaign, it’s well meaning but William is clearly still struggling himself.

      • notasugarhere says:

        IF, and it is a big IF, William has ever written a letter to a child about loss? Do you not recognize how blatantly obvious it is that news of it is coming out now? Really?

    • Livvers says:

      Yes, it obfuscates the actual realities of men’s mental health. Just because men are taught from an early age how to suppress their emotions doesn’t mean they aren’t suffering, they just do it more invisibly. Men’s suicide rates are higher than women’s, even though they present fewer indicators of risk. William’s “level headedness” is by no means an indicator of better mental health – and his oft-reported anger issues _are_ a risk factor indicating underlying emotional issues.

    • notasugarhere says:

      Harry has been creating outside charities for years. Harry and Meghan spent nine months planning, building, creating their website and their future. Harry is definitely a planner.

      William has always been the whiplash, temperamental one. Driven by anger, fear, jealousy, arrogance. Harry is emotional, yes, but he’s also been the one described by family and staff (outside of the PR attack the spare machine), as the stabler brother. Good King Henry, more suited to a life of public service than William.

    • Tessa says:

      GuestOne the Diana leaning on William “too much” is straight from the pens of Charles’ sympathizers like Penny Junor. I always consider the source. William for one thing was away at school for a good deal of the time and his mother did not sit home with him “leaning on him.” I think that should be taken with a grain of salt. William was told by his mother what was about to come out in the papers. OTOH Charles used William shamelessly to help him promote Camilla being “accepted.” I think Charles spending more time with Camilla and making her the number one priority really had a bad effect on his and Diana’s sons. He would communicate with the boys from Highgrove by Fax, And after Diana’s death, he left Harry to his own devices at Highgrove. If Charles wanted a “real” family he should not have gone into his first marriage in a half hearted way, get the heir and spare then spend more time with the mistress after the “duty” was done. It also sends a bad message to his sons. Fortunately, Harry did not ditch his wife. Despite William’s playing the “Diana card” he barred his own mother from accompanying him on a picnic at Eton. I think the Queen should have stepped in and told William to stop disrespecting his mother that way.

  10. aquarius64 says:

    If William is so unflappable he wouldn’t have slapped a muzzle on the RRs and British media to stop reports of alleged Rose gardening. Just sayin’ .

  11. Digital Unicorn says:

    William confiding in kate, hahaha. One of their breakups was because he was confiding in Jecca NOT Kate over his feelings surrounding his mother. IIRC when Kate found out she confronted him and then he dropped her.

    William and Kate are both emotionally immature people and they are in a cycle of feeding that with each other. The opposite is true for Harry and Meghan, they are both emotionally mature people who are not afraid of talking about their emotions.

    Between this and the story about how all the ‘extra’ work has brought W&K closer together, the Cambridges clearly have something to hide. I think they are trying to hide not just his Rose trimming, questions around the financials of the Royal Foundation but also that their marriage is likely imploding. This is exactly what Chuck and Di did when theirs was blowing up.

    • Becks1 says:

      Agree with you, and also with @Toot down below. the cambridges seem like they are hiding something and that would perfectly explain Will’s newfound friendship with the press.

      • Digital Unicorn says:

        William has always been an angry infantile person who took things out on those around him – now that Harry is gone I think Kate is getting the full brunt of William’s bad behaviour, where previously it was mostly directed at Harry and Charles.

        His body language screams anger, fear and high levels of stress. All of that needs an outlet and it’s usually those closest that bear the brunt of it.

      • notasugarhere says:

        The new friendship with the press is in exchange for the Rose story, which came out nearly a year ago. Trotting out the kids for pap photo ops, meeting with the press. The leaking to Wooten which is point-for-point William now. They know how much they have to hide, not just in relation to Rose and the Wandering Willy, but how they participated in the attacks on Meghan.

    • C-Shell says:

      Agree with all of this, DU and Becks1. Kate has been looking particularly haggard lately — her grin has always seemed forced and a tad manic, but lately seems more of a rictus, the bags under her eyes, the tight jaws, her increasing waifishness — either the press has stopped PhotoShopping her and we’re just now seeing the real deal, or something’s really weighing and wearing her down. And it’s NOT 18-hour work days or picking up the tremendous workload that H&M so inconsiderately dumped on the RF.

  12. Jumpingthesnark says:

    Wat?????? Bill was so jelly of the attention his SIL was getting/desperate to keep Rose gardening stories out of the news that he ran her out of the country! And continues to leak, leak, leak these self aggrandizing stories like a faucet! Hardly the actions of a cool calm and collected type of person.

  13. BabsORIG says:

    In the end, it will always boil down to one question: in all yr so many years as an adult male, what have you done to make this world a better place? And with that in mind, no amount of embiggening will ever make prince William a better person than prince Harry.

  14. HK9 says:

    IMO, William is the one who is unstable. If your two main emotions towards your own sibling is anger and jealousy, there’s nothing logical about that because he can’t help himself. He won’t drop it and move on and this “article” is proof of that.

    • Tessa says:

      William was born 2 years before Harry, he acts like he has a right to tell Harry what to do and who he sees. He should have just dealt with Harry and his choice of wife and stopped the resentment over his brother “not listening” to him.

  15. Toot says:

    This is a dig because Harry had the nerve to basically tell the British press to finally fuck off, but William is cozy with them after both brothers hated them.

    William has something to hide, so of course his new behavior towards those tabs is “logical”.

  16. Onomo says:

    Ugh, disability in wheelchairs isn’t some costume you try on.
    I know the intent is to help the royals understand but…they just can’t?

    Centering actual wheelchair users – not royal fun – would be useful. This feels like a photo o.o you do for a charity you had never been to before, and it’s old and tired, treating it the same as the yacht race “let’s raise awareness but only if I, Will, can compete and my dad stands to help me score”

    • Courtney B says:

      Harry did do it. At one of the Invictus Games. But he played a match with some of the brits (volleyball?) and it was well received by those injured soldiers.

      • notasugarhere says:

        It was a wheelchair tourney to promote Invictus Games. Of course he was in a wheelchair, as were Zara and Mike who participated in it with him. Do you understand the difference between that and what Billy and Charlie are playing at here?

    • carmen says:

      Good point. And to think, this fooling around for them is work.

  17. Seraphina says:

    Fake news has reached England too. 🤣

  18. Sofia says:

    Laughable. Absolutely laughable. This entire family is a joke

  19. Guest says:

    Lord. The pr overdrive the royals are doing with perfect William, kate. Charles and camilla is vomiting inducing now. The British media is still producing many articles daily about harry and Meghan and trashing them. Meanwhile Camilla is now on the cover of the dailymail talking about abused women. Guess that doesn’t include emotional abuse.

    • Tessa says:

      Camilla representing abused women is a true joke. I don’t know how she has the nerve to do the appearances. She caused Diana untold misery and encouraged Charles’ emotionally bad behavior towards Diana even calling Diana names and telling Charles to “ignore her.” Vile, truly vile.

  20. leigh says:

    I think Rose may have usurped Carole/Kate as the person/s Wills confides in hence the need to reaffirm in the press that logical Wills still spills all to Kate. Going forward, Wills might feel that what Rose thinks and says makes more sense and will serve him better as he as ages into his Royal role.

  21. Guest says:

    This family has really shown just how evil they are. They took Harry’s mental health and used it to trash him to bug up William. I dont want to see anything about William and his push support mental health.

    • Tessa says:

      This is exactly what they did to Diana and even after she died C and C sympathizers made up “mental illnesses” for Diana, like Junor did. Disgusting.

  22. Elisa says:

    Does anyone know how long in advance this joint appearance was planned? If this was scheduled recently to show a united front after Sussexit, then this proofs that Charles (and Camilla) ARE able and willing to do such joint engagements.
    I’m pointing this out because I’m convinced that Charles was one of the key drivers behind the smears against Meghan and he didn’t make any efforts to support her during the height of the smear campaign (by issuing a statement, doing a joint engagement, or any joint outing).

      I wouldn’t be surprised if the visit had been planned with Charles and William, but then they decided to send Kate and Camilla as well as a fairly last minute change.

  23. Florence says:

    Completely agree that he confides in RH. Not sure if he will ever make her consort though, the media love Kate too much (at present, anyway).

    • Becks1 says:

      If, for whatever reason, William decides he wants a divorce, I think the press will very quickly turn against Kate (with William’s support.) I’m not saying a divorce is inevitable, bc I actually don’t think they are going to separate, but IF he wants out, Kate’s current popularity in the press will disappear very quickly.

      • Aria says:

        Yes yes I said it many times , kate popularity is due to William rr press. The windsor will quickly turn against the married in. Like how loving peter was and autumn is devil for blindsided her poor hubby. I think William might separate from Kate to test the water now peter has done that and no longer heir divorce problem. Let’s see , kate wont do , it will be william and if rose come aboard they will mold her image with rr like with camilla.only Kate stan in twitter and tumblr will lose their mind but dont forget William got training in MI5 where they magically took the hashtag of rose from twitter which makes me think if and when rose made into offical normal people who dont follow royal doesnt know about rose affair from twitter and rr didnt touch it conveniently which dont makenher look like homewrecker. They will easily rehabilitate her image. Now with chuck and bill together makes me wonder that William finally understand that Charles actuon for having mistress because he is now in that situation and forgive Charles . Also I think that’s why chuck and bill are together in smear campaign beacuse harry was willing to walk away for his wife which bill and chuck doesnt like beacuse they cant marry the one they truly love .

      • notasugarhere says:

        Kate’s popularity only exists in contrast to someone else and if the media feel like embiggening her. She gets positive press now because the press attacks Meghan. Kate agrees to sell out the kids for pap pics, as she’s done for the last year? The press likes her temporarily. The release of unphotoshopped pics the other day show the media is starting to turn on Kate.

        If William wants out, he gets out. The entire royal machine would move to release every bit of dirt they have on the Middletons.

      • Nic919 says:

        It’s very interesting seeing some of the negative comments about Autumn Phillips following the separation announcement. It confirms that the married ins are all potentially targets even with someone as unknown to them as Autumn.

      • February Pisces says:

        I think kate knows this, but she will fight him with everything she’s got. I already see a slight divide in the royal reporters. Camilla tominey and Katie Nicholl are team kate and dan wootton and Richard Kay are more williams go to reporters. I think kate knows deep down she’s not gonna make it to queen, that’s why she’s obsessed with being called ‘future queen’ in every article because that’s all she’s gonna get. She’s gonna fall pretty badly off that very high pedestal.

    • Dee says:

      If Normal Bill ever leaves Kate, all the bad photos of Kate will come out. You’ll see her looking cozy with any male personal trainer she ever had, her natural hair (no blowout), smoking shots, the French balcony photos, the skirts blowing up over her head. Miss Never Set a Foot Wrong will be raked over the coals. That’s how this works.

  24. C-Shell says:

    “He doesn’t let things get to him, like Harry does. That’s not to say William has a heart of steel — he’s actually an incredibly loving and kind man, he just has a different way of dealing with emotions and is more level-headed than his brother,” the source explains. “If William has a problem, he’ll talk to Kate about it. William confides in her about everything.”

    Thank you, Carole. Noted.

    • notasugarhere says:

      It is so obvious. Saddest thing is, when William was confiding it was to Carole, not Kate. Carole keeps this relationship together by running interference between two people who shouldn’t have married. Rose Hanbury was a big wake-up call for the Middletons.

      • S808 says:

        “Carole keeps this relationship together by running interference between two people who shouldn’t have married.“ !!!!!! THIS! She’s been their babysitter this entire time and it’ll be interesting to see what happens once she’s gone.

      • notasugarhere says:

        If she hadn’t keep coddling William forcing these two back together? They would have broken up after graduation. She’s seen her position weakening, her control over William weakening, with the Rose situation.

    • MsIam says:

      I find that so ironic. In the Africa documentary, Harry came out and said how he loves his brother and will always have his back. All we hear from William is how he’s tired of supporting Harry. Is this how a loving and kind person responds to someone who is struggling? William is for William. He’s willing to let the Middleton’s use him as long as they make him feel good about himself. He reminds me of Trump.

      • Aria says:

        Atleast trump doesnt hide his nastiness behind rr and he proudly say in front of camera . He is honest that he is nasty and vile and bully. So far he doesnt throw his siblings z parents or his children under the bus. In that regard trump stick to together no matter what. Windsor is worst by throwing their own blood to wolf big differences.

  25. Valiantly Varnished says:

    Last time I checked anger, jealousy and resentment are all emotions. And they are all the weak toxic ones. And Will has all three in spades so…

  26. Andrew’s Nemesis says:

    More gaslighting. Despicable

  27. Jamie says:

    Some of us are old enough to remember when Charles and Andrew were portrayed this way by the press.
    Same as it ever was.

  28. Anonymous says:

    Ha!
    Beneath that blah exterior lies the angriest, most jealous, royal of them all. William will eventually grind his teeth to dust hiding that inner rage.

  29. kerwood says:

    Take a look at Keen Katie’s face when she’s with her husband. That will show you just how easy it is to live with Normal Bill.

  30. Harla says:

    Wow, the press are certainly building William and Kate up, the fall from such heights will be epic.

  31. KellyRyan says:

    “Brooding Malcontent,” 🙂 William the Terrible is angry and resentful. He does not want to be king, and sees no way out. Harry, enters therapy, grieves, begins healing, marries a good woman, acknowledges his options, takes action to secure his life and that of his family.

    Photo ops, and pretense are not substitutes for living a healthy life.

    In no way is this a happy man. To be happy we need to lead an authentic life.

  32. one of the Marys says:

    Why are these insider stories even necessary? They got what they want, H and M are gone, no one to share the spotlight, I don’t understand continuing this campaign *against* H and M.
    Also don’t understand the narrative around all the extra work due to H and M leaving. They took their patronages with them. Someone else commented it’s as if it takes several people to fill that hole. H and M weren’t doing the bread and butter ribbon cutting so what’s that about?

    • MsIam says:

      “It is not enough for us to succeed, others must fail” . Harry looking good makes them look bad (they believe) hence the blackballing and character assassination will continue. They are just like the Markles, only with more jewelry and expensive clothing. But character wise, they’re even-steven.

    • A Guest says:

      Because they only wanted Meghan gone, not Meghan and Harry.

      Harry is being punished for choosing his wife, his son and his freedom over “The Firm”.

    • Karmak says:

      Exactly!
      Will and Kate are not doing the work left behind from Harry and Meghan leaving. They are finally working. Will and Kate should have been up to this level of work years ago. Now they are playing catch up for PR purposes.

  33. CatWomen says:

    Kaiser, bless you, you take Harry and Megan to heart like a mother, so protective. The thing about this is, it’s just propaganda from the firm. The history of UK is so long and Monarchs and their legacy, the fact that nobody has ever conquered them since 1066 is something they are all proud of. The monarch is a boring dull state of old customs and traditional stuff that serves up all that back to reflect. Then you have Disney. Kids grow up learning princess live happily ever after. So Harry just didn’t want to be part of the firm, and Megan found out really fast the reality. If you just look at Kate, does she really look happy?

  34. notasugarhere says:

    The Meghan and Harry impact continues, no matter how W&K and the BRF try to shove them down. Edward Enninful just posted. The September 2019 issue guest edited by Meghan was the ‘fastest-selling issue in the history of #BritishVogue (sold out in 10 days) and was the biggest-selling issue of the past decade.

    • TheOriginalMia says:

      Just saw this mentioned on Twitter. Terrific news. Haters keep underestimating her.

    • What. . .now? says:

      Boom! There it is. Another big winner for Meghan. Ha! So that means Kate’s issue of Vogue where she was featured on the cover and inside. . .wasn’t as huge a seller as Meghan’s? Imagine that! 😉 Love this factoid!

      • February Pisces says:

        The vogue editor at the time when Kate was on the cover publically said Kate’s sales were disappointing, it was the 100th anniversary special and they were expecting it to be huge, but it was even outsold by cara delevingne. I think the huge negative reaction to meghans issue from the paid for RRs was because Kate’s publically flopped and they didn’t want meghans issue to be seen as a ‘success’. I notice meghans vogue news hasn’t been reported by the British media yet.

    • Babz says:

      Quantifiable results from a major project, undertaken during the last months of her pregnancy. There are very few quantifiable results shown around any of the projects the Cs do. Unless you count the charities that have had to close for lack of funding. And yet, Meghan was vilified and criticized for the work she did, and it’s crickets around Kate when her projects failed, other than bare-bones, minimal coverage. I’m not sure which angers me more, the slandering the Sussexes have gotten/are still getting, or the fools who believe it and promote it.

  35. lily says:

    He doesn’t let things get to him but yet he went ballistic and ordered a media blackout when it came to his ongoing affair with Rose Hansbury right?

    • Tessa says:

      Just imagine if that story went around about Harry, Piers would be even more wrathful and the comments sections would light up trashing both Harry and Meghan. The comments about William and Kate are sickening, she’s the most beautiful woman who ever walked the earth, she can wear a paper bag and still be beautiful. Horrible.

  36. Feebee says:

    So they felt they needed to say that he doesn’t have a heart of steel. Interesting.

  37. Catherine says:

    So the theory around here is Prince Harry was traumatized by his mothers death. And Willam was not. Amazing

    • MsIam says:

      Of course not @Catherine. But William let his trauma turn him into a manipulative control freak who is hurting other people. He needs to get help with that because it is toxic. He seems so afraid of losing that it is not a stretch to say this is connected to losing his mother. But trying to hang on to Harry and trying to ruin his marriage is not the way to do it.

    • TheOriginalMia says:

      Nowhere in here do you see people saying that. What people are saying, if you cared to read the posts, is that William has internalize his trauma. It’s turned into him an angry and petty person who is a terror to everyone, but especially to his brother. They both lost their mother. Only one of them has sought help to deal with the trauma of losing her: Harry. Only one of them has used the press to demean, abuse, and harass his brother and his wife out of the country: William.

    • Becks1 says:

      Absolutely no one has said that. If anything, we are saying that both were traumatized, but Harry is the one portrayed as “fragile” and “emotional” and “impulsive” while William is “level-headed.” That’s the issue. Harry has started (over the past few years) speaking out very openly about how hard losing his mother was, William has talked about it as well but not in the same way as Harry, which is fine. Everyone processes grief differently, and I don’t need to hear from William that he still misses his mother. What I would like is for William to stop playing games in the press at his brother’s expense.

    • Nic919 says:

      It’s amazing how some people lie on here. No one has ever said that William is not traumatized. His actions clearly show that he was and that he is being a hypocrite about his issue of removing the stigma around mental health when he gaslights his brother in the media.

  38. Le4Frimaire says:

    Why are they still trying to sell the Cambridge’s to us. They have their own country that get managed to take back. I don’t care about his personality ( what there is of it), or his marriage or whatever. We’ve all seen his shady actions, which speak way louder than words . Sorry you have to still cover this awful family.

    • Amy Too says:

      Will and Kate are all that’s left so I guess if we want to see young royals, we have to read about them, but the RF and the press can’t make us like them, or find them interesting, sympathetic, or relatable. They can’t make us believe that Will and Kate are good at their jobs. They can chase out Harry and Meghan, ensuring we hear much less about them and see them less often, and instead fill the papers with a bunch of photos and stories about this flurry of engagements the Cambs are doing, but they can’t make the Cambridges more popular. It seems that it’s not enough that they’ve gotten rid of their competition, they now want everyone to be happy about it? To start liking and respecting the Cambridges? You can’t force that and trying to with stupid articles like this just makes the RF, the press, Carole Middleton, and William and Kate look desperate and pathetic. You’ve forced us to pay attention to you, and only you, but you can’t make us enjoy it.

  39. Jaded says:

    That photo is in astoundingly poor taste. He’s in a wheelchair grinning like an idiot with his father trying to push him also grinning like an idiot. 1) It’s belittling to those who must use a wheelchair to get around; and 2) It’s a shameful parody of Harry’s ACTUAL work with the Invictus Games. These two just don’t get it, it is utterly transparent that they’re still continuing to bash Harry and demean his and Meghan’s truly successful accomplishments. That article is nothing but a crock of sh*t and I really believe that William’s marriage is dead in the water but he and daddy think they can cover it up by whispering in the right ears (Wooton, Junor, et al). Just one look at Kate says everything.

    • Liz version 700 says:

      I could not agree more. Seeing that photo made me gasp. It is hard for this lot to surprise me but what in disability hell are they doing. Those chairs are medical tools not carnival rides. Incredibly insensitive.

      • Betsy says:

        That picture strikes me as being in credibly poor taste as they look like they’re playing at it, but I think this is a sports wheelchair – like it’s meant to be used to play (basketball or whatever).

      • windyriver says:

        To be fair, this picture as shown above isn’t what it seems. Betsy is right; this is a sports wheelchair (look at the small wheels on the bottom and the slanted larger wheels); it’s obvious from the picture they’re on a basketball court in some kind of gym. There’s pictures with more context and participants on People’s website.

        According to People, one of the center’s clients offered William the wheelchair to try shooting a basket. “I don’t think he wanted to get in…but I encouraged him to have a try, which he duly accepted.” Apparently Will missed a few shots, and then Charles pushed him closer to the rim. Sounds like the people in the background enjoyed watching, hence the smiling; took Will six tries. The funny comment is from the gentleman who lent the wheelchair – “Clearly [he] wasn’t a basketball player at school.”

    • PrincessK says:

      It is all fake. Charles will do anything to make sure his bum is on that throne one day, even if it means sucking up to William. Charles and Harry used to be closer but Charles realises that his chances of being King and the continuity of the monarchy depend more on William.

      The story is far from over, the right wing British press have formed a pact to help solidify the positions of Charles and William. It is terrible that the Royal family feel so dependent on the right wing press for its survival. They are so afraid of the way the press can manipulate public opinion. I just hope that the Sussexes law suit doesn’t end in a stitch up, l really don’t trust the establishment.

  40. aquarius64 says:

    Tinfoil tiara – remember when Diana’s affairs were made public and stories were going out that the BRF had DNA tests on William and Harry? What if the test came back showing WILLIAM is not Charles’ son? There could have been someone before James Hewitt. That would mean William and his kids are ineligible for the throne. Harry is the true heir and his line would be the ruling line. The meltdown of a biracial queen consort and a prince of the blood with African American lineage sitting on the throne is the stuff of nightmares for the racist segment of the public. It explains the resentment of William towards Harry.

    • Babz says:

      Except that William was born 11 months after Charles and Diana got married. He was practically a honeymoon baby. I do love entertaining the thought of Harry somehow being the true heir, just to imagine the weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth that would come from the racists! Harry and Meghan could bring that country so much further into the 21st century, were they to ever be King and Queen Consort, but they are going to do great things from their side of the Atlantic. And be much happier for it!

  41. Lizzie says:

    Never heard of Harry being ‘incandescent with rage’.

  42. olliesmom says:

    Yeah, let’s play around in a wheelchair and laugh and take a photo. Yikes. Things don’t get to him?! He’s been chewing on Harry and Megan since they went on their first date.

  43. MeghanNotMarkle says:

    Oyyyy. The Cambridge PR machine is in full overdrive.

    • Liz version 700 says:

      Of course things don’t get to you dear says Kate as she side eyes him nervously while trying to figure out how To SWF Meghan in a coat dress

    Normal Bill “I’m going to be an awesome king y’all!!!!! Way better than my bro who you peasants actually like!!!!!!
    Everybody else: “Sure, Jan…..”
    Normal Bill: incandescent with rage.

    I mean, if he has to keep saying how awesome he is, after a while he starts looking like the king/prince who has no clothes…….

  45. February Pisces says:

    I read tarot and William is a water sign like me and we water signs at out best are empathetic, sensitive to others, and kind. We think with our hearts an not our heads which can be amazing, but for people who have issues or are broken people, leading with your heart can be dangerous. This is exactly what William does, what ever his childhood traumas are, he doesn’t think things through “logically” like he claims, his smear campaign is a result of his broken emotional feelings. His insecurities within himself are projected into harry. Harry is a Virgo and virgos do occasional get a bad rep because they pay so much attention to detail which can be annoying to others. They are the hardest working sign (think Beyonce). They are earth signs and are very grounded, rational and intelligent. They very much think with their heads and not their hearts. Look at how harry has planned his exit months in advance. That is not an irrational emotional person. The pattern with William is he accuses Harry of having traits that he himself has whilst claiming he possess traits that harry actually has. It’s like a role reversal. I’ve noticed the Cambridge’s do that a lot.

  46. SM says:

    As history shows leaders that don’t let things get to them and are embracing rational coldness are not exactly the best leaders. The states/comunnities/rule may be at lesser risk of collapse under them, but due to lack of hart and empathy they are unwilling to strengthen them. So not sure what Wills is getting at here.

  47. Awkward symphony says:

    Gosh their pr is disastrous🤭
    The videos paint a different story. I mean looking at the last picture or the first, the body language and distance between them couldn’t be more obvious🤦‍♀️

  48. Middle of the road says:

    Lmao at the headline. Sure Jan.

    Also that outfit on Kate in the bottom picture makes her look really long. Weird shaped even. Maybe it’s just me

  49. paddingtonjr says:

    There are so many things wrong with this article. Does KP PR think Google doesn’t exist? There are so many articles and reports from the early days of the Cambridge marriage in which William evokes his mother’s memory while calling out the press. He is not the model of control, which is fine, but own it. And of course Harry has taken the attacks on his wife and child personally because they have been PERSONAL. Since Meghan came on the scene, it hasn’t been just the standard “who wore it better” or “duchess v duchess” fluff, there have been targeted racist attacks towards a woman who has done nothing but try to fit in and do her job the best way she knows how as well as toward an infant.

    What is interesting is that William appears to have the marriage Charles wanted (a docile wife who does the minimum, smiles/frowns as necessary, doesn’t outshine him, turns a blind eye to occasional affair and produces the heir/spare(s)) while Harry has the marriage Diana seems to have wanted (a supportive, loving partnership).

    This whole article reads like a toxic relationship: “no, I broke up with you. See how happy I am with this new person. See? See? Look how happy I am without you. See?”

  50. Suzy S says:

    Logic doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with sensitivity. I’m super logical and rational, but I’m very empathetic and sensitive. Personally I think William is a spoiled brat with very little compassion or empathy for others. He seems like a narcissist and a big ego to me. Harry seems much more like a real person, warm and caring.

  51. Sidewithkids says:

    Oh please.

  52. Marivic says:

    Prince Harry exudes warmth and strong likeability. He’s not afraid to show his funny and outgoing side. Prince William, maybe because he is next in line, is uptight and severe. Looking forward to the return of the Sussexes. Miss them.

  53. Emily says:

    The way the article is written, it makes being emotional sound almost derogatory. William tried really hard to make himself seem superior. He probably has a small d**k.

  54. RoyalBlue says:

    Will someone please take away spoilt William’s PR playthings. He doesn’t know how to use them. Prince petulant obviously hates his brother. I firmly believe that story about George walking with Ma Middleton and telling a stranger his name is Archie was a straight up leak by William of the Sussexes chosen name for a son.

  55. blunt talker says:

    Anybody worried about how Meghan and Harry are doing-1. They released their staff of 15 in January because they were losing their jobs and wanted to tell them in person. 2. They just went to Sanford University for some brainstorming sessions on setting up their foundation-no one knows what exactly was discussed. 3. Harry had been discussions with Goldman-Sacs for nearly a year. Anyone thinks they made their decision to step down suddenly or without thought is not reading the tea leaves. Harry is sensitive but tries to be kind or understanding in the face of such meaness and hatred. I think that is a very rational person.

  56. Awkward symphony says:

    For those mocking harry’s ‘bold spot’ that’s all due to the Windsor gene but the fail had a full report gushing about harry’s fuller bald spot since his Canada move😏funny how they didnt mention him being away from their BULLYING and toxic family.

    I reckon we’ll see more positive changes thanx to their healthier lifestyle choices especially after successfully pushing back against the RACIST British press and Meghan winning her case.
    I see the fail is up to it’s ways trying to rile up their klan despite it being what they wanted(the Sussexs not using taxpayers money)!! I think (like I predicted before)some of their staff will be re-asigned to a different HQ just like Prince’s trust office in james st only this being mainly for harry’s next big project Travelyst. And others will probably be retained as foundation advisers or trustees
