What a terrible week for Prince William. He had to watch as the Three Lions lost the Euro final in penalty kicks. Then he had to watch as his big “I solved racism in football by being bored” campaign failed. Then he had to watch as his name trended on social media globally because he’s such a racist hypocrite and a sh-tty, rude, petty person who could not even congratulate the Italians on their Euro win. Then he had to watch as his pathetic “I’m Ready To Say That I’m Keen About the Environment” documentary was not nominated for an Emmy Award, yet the Sussexes’ Oprah interview was. Sucks to be a petty, lazy, enraged, racist a–hole. But he does have one thing: the ability to copy Harry and Meghan!
Prince William plans to take Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on “at their own game” a royal expert has claimed. The future king is said to be raging over his feud with his brother and sister-in-law and is sick of having to hold back.
While the Queen has spent months trying to “smooth things over” between the warring brothers, William has decided to “change tack”.
“William had felt that the smoothing over hadn’t been working for quite a long time at that moment,” according to the Mail’s Charlotte Griffiths. “He felt decisive action was needed, that he needed to play them at their own game. The smoothing over that the Queen had been doing very diligently from the moment Meghan came on the scene just wasn’t paying off at all. So maybe he thought he’d try a different tact.”

I agree that it is notable that Prince William has left his fingerprints all over the recent chapters of the smear campaign against Prince Harry and Meghan. William, Jason Knauf and the Kensington Palace staff orchestrated the whole “Meghan bullied staff” issue which came out just before the Oprah interview aired. Usually, the Windsors are not *that* obvious about the campaigns they wage against individuals, especially against people within the royal family. William is trying something new. And it’s failing spectacularly. It’s revealing just how incompetent and childish the Windsors really are, and how the palace offices are being operated by utter clowns. But hey, William is being “decisive.” He’s a man of action. Terrible, petty actions. I can just see his lazy, clenched fists as he barks orders at sycophantic staffers to go harder against Meghan.

William you can play by yourself. My Duke and Duchess live their own lives and don’t play your silly games.
If one thing showed the past view days its how williams name will always be attached to the racism meghan faced. And that is not a good thing. So i don’t understand why he still going for this tactic. Lol meghan will be williams diana in the sense that if he continues this he will make himself irrevocably unpopular
‘Must! Divert! Attention! From! Marriage!’ (Repeat ad infinitum)
@Alexandria, I would argue that he is, in fact, playing himself. Again and again!😂
Oh dear. If this is true, he is the most non-self-aware and tone-deaf royal ever. He keeps crapping the bed and everything he touches turns to dust. He trended spectacularly in 4 different countries for misstep after misstep. He really needs to surround himself with non-sycophantic yes men.
I’m sorry to say that I’m glad this is happening to him: you’re right, he is being outed as the most out of touch person on the planet. **”Oh wait…planet…maybe I can get an Emmy…”** Uh, no, William: just NO.
Maybe he will do an interview. That would be even better than Andrew’s, I think.
Let us hope he does.
I am praying fervently that he does. Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake. The interview will expose him and make his father look great in comparison.
Oh, PLEASE do an interview!!!
It’s the only time I’d pay to see him, but pay I would!
HELL YEAH!! With Keen Guevera at his side. Or no…he’d ban her from the interview….definitely…!!
100% this!
When KP hired a crisis pr manager (just like Andrew) I projected this would come next (just like for Andrew). Now we gonna hearing things about the pr manager advising against the interview, then about her quitting – if she hasn’t done it already – and then the interview is coming.
Ok, I know I am being sarcastic, but these people are so difficult learners. They never learn from past mistakes. It is almost as if they are compulsively repeating them.
For the record, Andrew’s crisis manager quit because he couldn’t talk Andrew out of doing an interview. So, it’s not really a good measure of whether or not he’ll do an interview.
I don’t think William is going to do an interview. Charles and Andrew have both made that mistake. It was a disaster for both. William is unlikely to make that mistake.
That’s exactly what she said though – hire the crisis PR manager, decide to do an interview, PR manager quits because they advised against the interview, then the interview.
I don’t think William is going to do an interview at this point – what would it be about – how much he hated his SIL? But I would not be surprised if he wanted to do one after Oprah aired.
Even if crisis managers try to talk him out of it, such is their ego and sense of entitlement that they do not listen. The queen is about the only one who gets it right in that family.
He will never do an interview – I am sure he deems that ‘beneath’ him – to explain to the peons/serfs when God has ordained him to be FFK????? Won’t happen. Plus, Chucky is not stupid enough to let it happen.
I would encourage William to do an hour televised interview with Piers.
One can only hope!
Or Oprah, might get Emmy nom next year.
Or do one with Megyn Kelly. 🤣🤣🤣🤣😈
On that’s evil. And amazing. I would PAY to see it!
You want to see somebody’s head explode on TV, don’t you. Admit it.
In my fondest dreams, Wills is interviewed by Piers. It would be spectacular.
Who and where do I have to pay to see that!!!
Who and where do I have to pay to see that!!!
LOL, really Wills? You are so far behind the game it isn’t funny.
william will be the end of the monarchy as we know it.
his antics are backfiring badly, and somebody on his team needs to be real with him.
@ taris, no one will tell him that his antics are ruining his reputation. Everyone, including The Firm, Men in Grey Suits, BP, CH, and all across the world know that Harry is a better man that TOBB, even Kate Guevara knows this!! Everyone knows this except TOBB!! He will always see himself as the greater of the two brothers, he is too far superior to Harry, which we all know is rubbish.
I’m confused because I thought the Cambridges were already playing the Sussexes at their own game? How else do you explain (attempt at) copying the Sussex’s Instagram, the whole youtube channel in response to… actually I don’t remember what that was a response to. The Me You Can’t See? Netflix? Spotify? There’s also Kate copying Meghan’s fashion, making more speeches, rubbing elbows with Dr. Biden (diplomacy!). William taking on mental health as his cause (or something). Does he think that if he declares “time out, time out, I’m STARTING OVER,” the public will grant him a clean slate?
Maybe William will have more success with a royal TikTok account. Open the battle on another front, so to speak. He can show off his amazing dad dancing, and appropriate the work of black artists to show he’s Not Racist. How can he be racist if all these black artists are copying his Original Work?
LOL!
While the Sussex are thriving, Baldimort Incandescent is barely surviving. It must really hurt to know that after everything you did to them they are still standing and Happy together
Willie is standing on the playground by himself. Everyone’s gone home, the gate’s been locked, and the lights are off… and Little Willy is there…holding his balls…with no one to play with.
Best analogy. Thanks for the chuckle.
If the game is living your best life, the Sussexes are winning.
Oh no booboo, you don’t go into a battle of wits half armed.
Best comment of the day!
And it’s Seraphina for the win! 🏆 William needs to take his tiny 🎻 and sit down. He’s way out of his league. The Sussexes’ ‘game’ is truthful compassion, hard work, and truly connecting with those they support’ ….things that has been proven to be way outside William’s comfort zone. House Sussex is ‘true grace under pressure.’ That William thinks living your best life and doing good work is a game says everything. I’m sure William is rampant with rage at Meghan that his own behavior has been called out for being a racist and poor sportsman. As we know, it’s ALWAYS about Meghan for William!
Lol, Seraphina! I was thinking “he does not realize his sister in law is considerably more educated, experienced, and intelligent than he is.”
Yesssss. But the clincher is that Harry has her, and Wittle Willie DOES NOT. That is what WW can not abide.
YASSSSSSSS!
Whoop! There it is!!
Boom! The problem is many half wits think they are smart.
‘Oh, a battle of wits. It’s a shame that you come unarmed. ‘ – Principal Newman
Great line from Santa Clause II.
Nota, you’re quote is more spot on for Willy – unarmed not half armed.
William is a stupid person’s idea of a clever person. Unfortunately, in this case, he is also the stupid person in question.
Never go against a Sussex when death is on the line!
William’s PR always wrecks, but your comment is divine!
Oh, he’s going to play the Sussex’s game, is he? Maybe he can raise $300 million for vaccines?
Exactly. What game does he think he is playing? Seems Harry and Meghan have said their truth and moved on. So is the game being public philanthropists and content creators for public good? Either way he is doing a piss-poor job at playing the game.
He clapped extra hard for NHS workers. That counts right?
But that would require some level of effort on his part and that is called WORK. Something Wills and Kate are allergic to and can only take in small, very small, dose.
I have given up hope of being surprised by Tweetle Dee and Tweedle Dunce. They lack empathy and emotional intelligence so it will always be about themselves.
They also lack a grasp on reality. They think that being FFK is enough. To be fair, it has been enough for a millennium, but now they have no real power and the public aren’t in awe. So, they get to wear borrowed jewels and wear honorary medals like in a movie, but they haven’t figured out how to put in the performance.
Agreed, and we also live in a very transparent world. We so much more that 100 years ago we never read about all this dysfunction. So They need to up their game. Won’t happen.
He couldn’t even get an Emmy nomination for his struggle documentary.
William thinks he’s Kasparov when all he’s got is arrogance and checkers practice. Harry and Meghan are out of his league completely.
He is definitely not smart. Harry has always gotten under his skin. It would bode well for him and his courtiers to keep quiet and let his brother live in peace. So far everyone who maliciously comes against the Sussexes gets a visit from Miss Karma.
I’d argue he’s playing an exceptionally bad game of tiddlywinks.
William & Kate ain’t got the RANGE to play at the level that Harry & Meghan inhabit organically…It’s not even in their psychological & emotional wheelhouse…what William & Kate are doing are playing themselves…and I am HERE FOR IT!!!
oh yes, please more Kate speeches about her passion projects! I think we’re all here for those.
And Kaiser, amazing photos chosen, as always! lol
If the plan was to play them at their own game the only one that lost was PWT.
Agreed. If this is his attempt at playing their game, he’s managed to fail spectacularly so far with every attempt. He buys bots for social media because he can’t compete with getting fans, lackluster you tube channel in an attempt to be relevant in social media because nobody wants to work with him, attempts to make it in the documentary industry where he just wants to be a face, charity prizes he barely capes for, just all failures for him because in reality he is lazy and incompetent.
He arrogantly believes that his titles will open all doors for whatever endgame he wants. He’s so protected that he doesn’t realize that entitlement alone won’t get you respect, or in his case, revenge, against his far more likeable, and naturally empatheic, brother and SIL. Deep down he knows he’s lost this war but just can’t let Harry live. Truly autocratic but also delusional.
So I see we’re pivoting back to the rage monster PR.
Little boy should NOT try to play, he can’t handle the grownups.
Also it’s completely ineffective. The best revenge is living well. If William really wanted to show that H+M were so terrible and the monarchy is better off without them, the best way to do that is to rise above the fray, wish them well, offer “no comment” when asked about them, and keep moving forward.
But of course, he is incapable of that and needs to give the press some chum to keep them off his back, so here we are.
Play them at their own game? So he’s going to work, be committed to his causes and show real tangible results that effect change? Wow that will really show them!
Also why he is acting against the monarch? Is that not a breach of whatever protocol is oh so important this week, he has just declared in a national newspaper that he has no diplomacy skills, is acting against his queen and fails to have any critical thinking skills or insight into a job he was literally born to do.
One has to wonder if he gets bad enough, will they exile him like the Duke of Windsor where he can’t do more damage to the Windsor brand. Because it’s genuinely getting to that point.
Wouldn’t it be ironic if HE and Kate were the ones exiled to Africa?
Lol: That’s exactly why he’ll fail at playing Harry’s game – he’ll never put in the work.
I also noticed that the article really emphasized how William was doing exactly the opposite of what the Queen wants. It was repeated several times. And why? What is he suddenly so mad about? Harry and Meghan haven’t done anything publicly since the statue unveiling, where the PR was about how the brothers are still not ready to make up because there’s been a lot of hurt, but they’re able to play nice and come together if they have to. And now suddenly, for no reason that anyone can ascertain, William is full of rage and freaking out in anger, deciding to fight extra hard against the Sussexes and go against what the Queen wants? He has some serious mood swings and seems to be set off by anything and nothing all at once.
He was trending, that’s why. This must have landed like a nuclear bomb in Kensington over the weekend, being called out over and over again on Twitter.
It isn’t in any way Meghan’s doing, but His Royal Haughtiness, Basher Billy can’t see that because the world only revolves around him. And his being openly mocked seems to be what set off this fresh new rage.
Success is the best revenge, clearly. The Sussexes holding their heads high and continuing to just *live happily* will continue to enrage a flailing William for years. Because that man gets more and more miserable (and seemingly insufferable) with each passing year.
I think it’s because Harry came, did what he came to do, wasn’t moody or irritable, and then went back, and now everyone knows the Sussexes probably won’t be seen or heard from until September at least.
William reminds me of a bully who wants his victims to fight back, he’s thrashing and yelling and they’ve just walked away and are ignoring him.
Makes the Queen look pretty much powerless. Will doesn’t listen to her about Harry and now Charles doesn’t respect her wishes about the Duke of Edinburgh title. Her courtiers don’t listen to her and shut up about Harry.
Weatherby, way to tell on himself then, geez. It’s so obvious because Harry and Meghan have literally done nothing in a while. They haven’t given any interviews, they haven’t announced anything, they haven’t launched a project, they haven’t spoken about their mental health or the royal family at all, and the last time we did see Harry and Will together it was awkward but fine, and the talking points were that they were fine, if distant. And now we get PWT yelling in a newspaper about how “I did many stupid/lazy/petulant/hypocritical things all on my own these past couple of weeks that led to the world rightfully calling me out, so now I’m…….. REALLY MAD AT MY BROTHER AND SISTER AND LAW AND WANT TO FIGHT THEM.” Huh. Okay…
Is this the press turning on Will a little bit? They’re out here in this article saying that the Queen wants peace between the brothers, that she’s been working on smoothing things over since Meghan came along. (Side note: A. That shows William DID have a problem with Meghan from the beginning. B. The Queen didn’t have a problem with Meghan despite all the reporting about her being so upset and mad all the time about the Sussexes. And C. The Queen has ALWAYS wanted things to work out with Meghan in the family rather than blow up.) And they’re not giving a single reason for WHY William is suddenly so mad and changing tact, going against the Queen. They’re writing this in the middle of of a days-long global Cambridge criticism storm, AND at a time when Meghan and Harry haven’t said or done anything, so there’s no context for what W could be enraged about besides his own bad press. Usually these articles come after the Sussexes do something, anything, and the writer will editorialize a lot about how what the Sussexes did is so unforgivable and that’s why the family is FORCED to be mad and hit back at them. They go out of their way to justify the smear campaign as they’re writing it. But the Sussexes did nothing this time, and the reporter isn’t telling us why it’s not only okay, but actually imperative, that William attempt to crush them.
It seems like the press is trying to tell us that William is unhinged, with a horrible temper, that he can’t take any criticism, and that he projects his anger out towards whichever target he feels like beating down at the moment, in direct opposition to what the literal Queen of England directs him to do, as a way to cover his own a** when he’s behaved poorly. That all the petulant, childish, undiplomatic, and hypocritical crap we’ve witnessed from him over the past week *is* real, and it’s his personality. Interesting.
Amy Too, I think it’s the media, too. I kept looking at the sources for the article and was admittedly surprised. My first thought was that Ma Mids had struck again–this is such a negative article about W and not just because of his temper. It states that he’s completely ignoring TQ? Ignoring TQ seems more of Ma Mids thing, you know, when she’s not just wanting K to be QC immediately. Very Interesting.
O Jeez will his crap never end. Can’t they find something for him to do that he won’t eff up. Like holding a watering can or something.
@Nina: my thoughts exactly!
As one who uses watering cans for my living, I respectfully request he stay far, far away from any plants. He may hold the can. He may not actually USE the can….
😉 Yeah, he’d probably mess that up.
@Shirleygail. My apologies, but just let him hold it not do anything with it. Just to keep him away from the really important stuff. Like maybe trying to save the world. He will most probably blow us all to hell like some comic book super villain.
In my country we call this behavior “madness in practice”. William, needs to sit down and eat chalk. He’s not smart at all.
@ Petra, I love that saying!! I think it suits TOBB to a tee!! TOBB, has some serious anger and personality issues as he cannot stand the fact that he was called out on his own hypocrisy and his truly apparent racist attitude. The fact that he is being raked over the coals is of his own doing.
Also, TOB, you could not hold a candle to what your charismatic, fabulously charming and down-to-earth that Harry has in spades! Just call it a day and lick your self inflicted wounds to someone who actually cares about your vendetta and your inability to be a diplomat of any substance.
Harry and Meghan have truly won this match, now move on with your next raging with anger campaign.
I don’t know who I feel more sorry for. William or the the tabloids projecting their hopes and dreams onto him because the Sussexes cut them off and because they have to make him interesting to even make money . This man and his wife are total puppets. Being in a rage about Harry and Meghan is not winning you any points sir 😂 If anything, their position is better than yours.
Jeez he’s still obsessed with the Sussexes (specially Meghan). Can he like,pay this much attention to his own duties, patronages,or even hobbies?
On the bright side, we’re getting the real face of Mr Incandescent drip by drip. Carry on Bill.☕
He’s smeared and attacked his brother and sister-in-law to the point that they left the country to get away from him. So if he plans to be even more villainous then what’s left for him to do? William needs to remember that you can’t fling mud on other people without getting some on yourself. Articles like this make him sound deranged. Not a good look FFK.
Well yes, because the “smoothing over” the Queen was doing wasn’t “paying off” so he took charge and got rid of H&M himself.
“William needs to remember that you can’t fling mud on other people without getting some on yourself. “. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Excellent comment, MsIam.
It sounds to me as if William has gone rogue and neither the Queen or Charles is capable of controlling him. ‘Ahhhh, Flight Control, we have a serious, UNFIXABLE malfunction.’ 🤦🏻♀️
Agreed. This just makes it seem like William is going to try to attack them even more and I dont know how its playing in England, but globally people are more and more rolling their eyes at him and soon its going to be even worse, people will be disgusted by him bc he does sound deranged.
This article is confusing to me. Is it saying this is his new approach or referencing one he’s already taken? Only halfway through my first coffee…
You’d think this behavior (which will only get worse if he isn’t reined in), coupled with Brexit/economic troubles for a more and more isolated Britain, would be raising alarms for the British Govt. You’d think they’d start saying “words” to BP/CH about the kind of harm TOBB’s “diplomacy” and his more apparent malicious/racist actions against against H&M are doing to Britain’s status in the Commonwealth’s and the rest of the world’s eyes.
Jais: same. From what I can see, William hasn’t done much differently lately, there’s no ‘game’ to be played.
Why doesn’t he just do his jobs instead of worrying about what H&M are going to do? Even CH and BP don’t complain to the extent that KP does
I really do think William being protected and told he was special has really gotten to his head. I think jealously was the main cause of this breakdown of relations. Harry is more liked, respected, people want to work with him. William, not so much and it’s very obvious.
I do remember something coming out a couple of years ago, that TOBB was whining that “no one (in Hollywood) wanted to work with him” the way people lined up to work with Harry. He was only able to get Gaga to do that computer hookup with him about mental health, nothing bigger.
@TheOG -I remember that and it was in the context of “William is just so ahead of his time and wants to talk about mental health but its so taboo no celeb will talk about it.”
No, they just dont want to talk about it with you, Willileaks.
It must have really chapped his ass that Gaga played such a significant role in Harry’s project.
Right? He has no brain.
In the words from the lyrics from Wizard of Oz, “if I only had a brain…”
The Queen tried to get him to do that, with the whole “we’re not going to brief against the Sussexes anymore” but William just can’t help himself.
Charles has put some stuff out there but it hasnt been the constant barrage of anti Meghan hysteria we’re getting from KP.
And the thing is, if William just put his head down and worked, so much of this would go away. Harry and Meghan are always going to be more popular than him, he can’t change that – he needs to stop trying. He just needs to do his job and do it well. That can cover up so many flaws – we see that with Charles, we see that with Anne, hell we see that with the Queen, who can’t be criticized because of her “lifetime of service.”
But William hasnt figured that out yet.
Because William isn’t getting what he wants, so he isn’t going to stop this behavior. Throwing his toys out of the pram and screaming at the top of his lungs.
He has controlled and abused Harry most of their lives.
He wanted Harry and Meghan forced to stay, remain under his control, where Harry and Meghan did all the work while W&K took the money and the credit.
His next tactic was trying to banish them to ‘Africa’, because he perceives ‘Africa’ as made up of savannahs and hunting grounds where they’d never be heard from again.
He never wanted them free, wealthy, and global superstars.
Their silence is driving him (or the press who wrote this) crazy and I love it.
They are going crazy. They’re also pissed because they haven’t seen a picture of Lilli or know nothing about a potential christening and the rest of the family are bland and dull. I think the media are getting fed up because nothing has brought the Sussexes back or stopped the couple from thriving. I saw some random rumor on Australian tv about Tom cruise wanting to recruit the Sussexes into Scientology. It wasn’t the least believable, random and reeked of desperation. That when I realized that they are starving and bitter.
The only ones that Crazy Tiny Tom has been around has been TOBB, when at Wimbledon. CTT hasn’t been anywhere near the Sussexes, and I doubt he has their contact info lol
The Sussexes just escaped one cult, they won’t be sucked into another one! (Not that the TC report is true anyway.)
The Brit Media wanting to monetize Lili and Archie with pictures gets on my last nerve. The media is not owed a damn thing, let them clamor for more Cambridge kid photos.
Do they possibly imagine this is a good look for the ffk?
I am flabbergasted by the behavior of the royal family since Harry and Meghan left. I mean, really.
Taken as a whole, annus insanus.
More like Anus Insanus
The more desperate TOBB is, the more insane he is exposed for who he truly is behind the gilded gates.
It’s not a good look when you can’t make the difference between what is coming from the different royal household and what the newspapers write as clickbait articles.
It’s the press projecting their own will onto William at this point. They’re seeing the bullying thing didn’t quite work and they’re worried the Windsors might cool off the feud.
The press always uses the Queen and William like that. The problem is that it isn’t getting them the results they want which is for Harry and Meghan to be punished but also them returning on their hands and knees with their tail between their legs asking for forgiveness. The hubris of the press has been their downfall because they aren’t used to anyone fighting them every step of the way, the way the Sussexes have. Getting them to heel has been their goal for years now and still not even using Thomas Markle, taking away their security, abusing and smearing them, nothing has worked. They’ll forever be traumatized.
sometimes i wonder as well if maybe it’s just the press fiddling their thumbs when there’s no news, so they decide to repeat this tired crap about william and his incandescent rage. i mean, surely even the clowns at KP must know how bad this looks? or maybe not.
This too. It’s the summer and the Sussexes are quiet and they haven’t shown a picture of Lilli and or a christening update , which the media is also pissed about. That why they keep concern trolling about their podcast and Netflix deal because they want content. I know when Harry and Meghan announced their time off, the sound of frustration was heard all the way from Fleet Street.
After the way he got dragged he still going to do this? Its really smarter for him not to be so obviously linked to the racism meghan faced but i guess baldy wants his name attached to that loud & proud.
i think William should give Peirs an all access type interview, let peirs follow him around for a week, interspersed with sit downs, i reckon that would be a hit
Oh yes, please. They can sit on benches in a lovely garden – the bloated, oily toad and the dessicated dimwit. It would be horrible and I’d watch the hell out of it. It might even get an Emmy nod.
You KNOW TOBB would have it in front of the Diana statue.
“I”M the “important” son!! Look at ME!!!!! Look at MEEEE!!!”
Better yet, a BAFTA nod, and he wouldn’t bother to show up.
And no one is going to watch it. I think the problem for William is that no one really cares about his documentaries or life without being revolved around his more charismatic brother. Also, Piers don’t want an interview with him. It’s Meghan he’s after. That whole media wants the Sussexes. They already have William and Kate where they want them.They know his secrets and they have access to their events and children. They want what they can’t have and it’s in California.
“dessicated dimwit” I’m loving your alliteration!
I cannot wait to see all of Will’s dirty deeds exposed one day. And they will be. Ma Middleton is off her rocker if she thinks she will be protected for her part in the smear campaign. She was there to see all of Chuck, Di, and Camilla’s dirty secrets splashed all over the headlines and it was ugly. Now with social media, it will be one hundred times worse. Will and Kate have a vague fear of what it will be like, but they have to live through it to see how bad it gets. Or, here’s an idea. They can just look and see what the tabs did to Meghan and see their future.
Was looking back at past articles from 2015-2017 from celebitchy and it was surprising how many of these same writers were going in on William and Kate. Richard Kay actually wrote about how William was petulant and known for treating his staff badly. Katie Nichols also. So all these people are writing knowing full well who William is. The switch when Meghan came on to the scene is crazy. So Kate and William had felt it some before.
Seems to me some intrepid gossip writer should re-post these stories, headlines and bylines proudly displayed, along with the first 2 paragraphs (which usually contain the entire story anyway).
Should be fun to confuse readers (as we sometimes are) trying to figure out “is this new?” “where’s the full story?”
LMFAO
He is obsessed with them (or just Meghan?) and it’s very concerning. Like I’ve said, he needs therapy STAT! And all of this negative, petty energy, while H&M are minding their business in California, taking care of their babies and chickens and not worried about Wills. He needs to do his jobs and not be worried about them or playing some one-sided game.
the only one engaging in any kind of game is William himself. he just looks increasingly pathetic with every passing day trying to engage his brother and sister-in-law who, like cream, have risen to the top.
I do find it interesting that Wootton made it clear 2 years ago that William was behind stories like banning Meghan from certain jewels when others were blaming the royal households generally for the palace negativity towards her.
But now Lacey’s update to his book really wants to drive home the point that Kate was wary about her from the start & claims Will is behind things like kicking them out of KP& briefing on Meghan bullying claims. Hard to see why they want him out there. William has got to have more to him than the antagonist in Meghan’s story.
I think the press (and KP) see the narrative as Meghan is the antagonist in William’s story. And that may play well to the racists – but the problem is that is a story about a rich white man punching down at a WoC. To non-royalists and anti-racists, that is yet another story of a super privileged man who’s punching down on a woman who belongs to a minority. The first narrative may have many takers in the UK but it certainly doesn’t fly with a global audience.
As an American a lot of it seems anti-American and snobbish so that offends me also. I realize America is not perfect but the Brits aren’t perfect by any means either and we are supposed to be allies.
@equality – it is anti-American and snobbish. I’m Canadian and more than once have been referred to by Brits as a “colonial” which rankled me no end. Also, William’s deliberate snub of the Italian team and the Italian president after the win was unconscionably rude and only furthers the truth that he’s a condescending, smug little wanker who thinks he’s all that and a bag of chips. He needs to develop some diplomatic skillz STAT.
@ Jaded, ah, how right you are but you are missing the point. TOBB has zero interest in becoming diplomatic or show an ounce of hospitality to anyone other than himself and his current interests. TOBB is pushing 40, and he has no desire to learn what is expected of him as he has been coddled his entire life and the narcissism in him could not possibly imagine for a moment that he is not fit to be FFK!
Who released this to , accurately, blame all the smear campaign on TOB? Ch or bp? Did Liz or Chuck see the backlash and let it be known the elegant prince is behind the smear campaign?
Excellent point. Someones crisis manager is being subtle.
Now that I think about it, maybe that’s the case. When did that article come out about Charles being “desperate to have dinner with Harry”? Was it before or after William’s dragging on Twitter? Best time to punch someone is when they are already down. Game of Thrones, lol, taking out Edward and William at the same time.
Game? It isn’t a game.. Not at all.
Its absolutely a bargain basement game of thrones, but for real.
And they don’t really win anything
What’s he going to do ? Point his egg head at them and say die? Nobody gives a flying F what Willy wants. Willy needs to learn and I think this week showed him that his bald ass can’t always get what he wants. So he can just go f himself because no one else wants to
.
.
“…raging over his feud with his brother and sister-in-law and is sick of having to hold back” .. when exactly did he hold back now?
Of all the effing things he could been doing, like I don’t know.. work???, he’s still hellbent on this stupid feud with his brother and sister in law. Still focused on making a fool out of himself and expose how vile he, the RF and Firm are, instead of actually trying do to something useful for the people. Unbelievable.
Also, he could never take H&M at their own game, as he said, for that he would have to WORK.
He is trump raging when doctors spoke at corona virus updates or Jared was on a magazine cover. The similarities are everywhere. Look at what trump tried to do to our country, don’t underestimate what damage that level of narcissism can do.
What does he mean “beat them at their own game”? The Sussexes are out, they’re happy, and aren’t coming back. They’re doing their own thing in CA and don’t care what he does as king as he keeps their names out his mouth.
What exactly has TOB done? I mean if he’s implemented his plan, it’s already a failure because who knows wtf he’s done.
And baldemort has no game, his ass is wack.
I hope this blows up in his and the Royal Family’s face.
And what game is that? Is it cooperating with Robert Lacey on his book? I don’t think that has been very successful. I do think he wanted to use an England victory in his one-sided competition with Harry. Thankfully that didn’t happen so we’ll have to see what he has planned besides more smearing of Harry and Meghan.
Totally. Max foster had an article that made clear that an England win was going to be a great PR moment for William. Probably a chance to get reflected glory images like the queen & her handing over the winning trophy to Bobby Moore at the 1966 World Cup. William probably would have (without irony) praised the diversity of the winning team. the government would have gaslit POC in Britain about how this win shows no institutional racism/no barriers to success in Global Britain etc. no doubt the petty rota would have had digs at Harry about not being there during England’s glorious moment lol.
Perhaps that’s why Will wasn’t in the mood to hang around after England lost.
Did you see the photo of the three cambridges when the match was over? Khate clutching her pearls, poor George tired and sad, and william looked FURIOUS. Not bummed out, not disappointed – just looked like he wanted to rage! He was pissed he lost his moment of glory.
William, they don’t play games. they get on and thrive on their work and projects.
Beating the Sussexs’ at their own game would require he and Keen actually working. So…
WTF does that even mean? It was YOUR “game” from the get-go, William. Neither Harry nor Meghan leaked nasty, untrue stories to the press. YOU did that. That was unilaterally YOU, William. You have a bad character, like your great-uncle, David. Ugly games against your own brother and sister-in-law. And to put it very clearly, you owe a HUGE apology and you need to make amends. Queen Elizabeth 1 said, “I have the heart of a king and the stomach, too.” You have neither, William, and like the great Queen Elizabeth the First, neither are you a man.
It just comes across as generic unhinged wannabe supervillain blather.
@SenseofTheAbsurd. It does. Will’s “game” or playbook is similar to what Charlie Sheen did. And, Charlie did not end up “winning”.
Exactly! H&M were too busy working and surviving to play games.
So, his plan to get even with Harry and Meghan is:
a. Announce his intentions to work against his grandmother, the queen, who evidently wants to ” smooth things over” with the Sussexes
b. Admit that not only is he aware of Harry and Meghan’s popularity and celebrity, but that he wants a piece of it – not to do good in the world, you understand, but for spite!
c. Totally discount the work that would have to underpin any effort to compete with his brother and sister in law. There’s no mention of any new initiatives or steps he will take.
If he wants to win this “game”, better get an understanding of the rules first.
All these people be crazy and petty. They be fighting over words and titles that mean nothing anymore. Why does William care what his brother is doing? Shouldn’t he be busy helping his grandma and dad run the country? They all need to let it go and live their best lives.
Kaiser you never disappoint me with your take. Just hilarious.
The one thing I never get about the Windsors is how they manage to be such a spectacularly dysfunctional monarchial family when Europe has so many examples of royal families who are happy and stable and functional and healthy that they could look to to see what they should be doing instead. It would be one thing if they were the only royal family around and didn’t understand what they were doing wrong, but they’re basically on the level with Monaco, a wretched hive Riviera version of Las Vegas, in terms of embarrassing social drama and dysfunction junction.
I mean, and these are just a few examples off the top of my head, but look at the royal families in Scandinavia. A recent example- the whole Danish royal family, extended included, came to watch the Euros, all the kids, and they wore jeans and sports jackets and team scarves, and they looked normal and happy together. A not so recent example- The Crown Princess of Sweden has a history of personal troubles, and she was allowed to be open about them and was able to get help and work through them, and her family totally supported her and now she’s happy and has a beautiful family with a commoner no one cared about her marrying and had a gorgeous wedding that was both an official royal wedding and allowed to be romantic and emotional at the same time without it embarrassing anyone. Imagine that. Even the Spanish royals, whose country faces a legit separatist movement and have had some scandals of their own, seem way more functional and professional than the Windsors.
I just don’t get how they’re so stubbornly stupid and petty all the time.
The answer is simple: they don’t have the life skills to be anything other than petty and stupid. The only one of them that had a inkling of “how to get through life with basic skills” left the family and now lives in California.
My bigger question is this: why has the British government enslaved this family and not made sure they had to skills to get by in life if there was ever a day without a monarchy? It’s as much on the government as it is on the family.
The House of Hannover/Saxo-Coburg Gotha/Windsor has been famously dysfunction since the early 18th century. So you def have patterns of dysfunction being inherited from generation to generation. Furthermore, the descendants of Victoria seem to have embraced philistinism, i.e. a sort of anti-intellectualism (the Queen’s parents were famously against education). Thirdly, the Windsors in general seem to be lacking in the intelligence department. Then there’s the issue of Empire, which really drink their own kool-aid (and they haven’t yet come to terms with the fact that the days of empire are gone – though I don’t think that is an issue that also plagues the British elite in general). Finally, unlike other Euro RFs, the familial relations between the Windsors seem to be mediated through their staff, which may have agendas of their own and who may meddle.
I think that the Windsors have allowed the institution of the monarchy to completely rule the family. I think that the distinction between the institution/family is difficult to navigate in general (there IS family conflict in both the Danish and Swedish RFs but not as toxic as in the BRF) – but the Windsors are stuck in an Edwardian time-pocket where royal and aristocratic family relations were quite formal – and the Scandinavia RFs in particular left that culture behind in the mid 20th century (both the Danish and the Swedish RFs were a lot like the Windsors in terms of family in the late 19th-early 20th centuries but they broke those patterns whereas the Windsors didn’t and that may very well be because of the longevity and influence of Queen Mary, the Queen Mother and now QEII).
So interesting. I hadn’t thought about the longevity angle holding them back. But when I think about it, out of the last 300+ years almost 200 of them are accounted for by 3 monarchs – George III, Victoria and QEII. That’s a lot of historical baggage.
I agree with this. Someone somewhere made the point that Charles and Diana were mismatched because she was a (reasonably) modern woman of the 80’s, while Charles wasn’t just substantially older than she was when they got married–but all his closest friends and advisors were even older than he was at the time. So while Diana was a basic Baby Boomer, Charles had the sensitivities and interests of someone from a different generation.
I think that’s what’s happening with the Windsors now. William seems like an Edwardian fuddy-duddy (polo and shooting and keeping the same narrow friend group for life) and Kate seems Victorian (hence the buttons and George in short pants and traditional gender roles and all of that), while Meghan and Harry are fresh and from the 21st century. That’s a huge culture clash.
And, to go further to ArtHistorian’s point, the Queen might be old but it seems that her style and influence still largely govern what goes on inside the royal households. She learned many of her ideas about her position and how to run her household from her own parents, who learned it from their parents, which means nobody inside BP or CH or KP knows how to deal with the modern world.
@Eurydice WOW! When you put it like that it’s pretty mind blowing. That’s like if the United States only had 4 presidents since it’s founding. Crazy. Yeah, it’s no wonder these people have such a hard time with change and modernity. Good lord.
I wouldn’t say all of those houses are completely functional.
The Swedish royal family? The sexist king keeps claiming his son should be heir. He gave the only title with a monetary benefit to his son’s son, when Victoria’s son Oscar was born months before and should have been given that title. The spare and his wife refuse to get off the royal dole. They’re the reason the king had to remove HRH’s from most of his grandchildren. The spare’s wife has also briefed against Princess Madeleine repeatedly for years. Now the tabloids attack Madeleine for leaving the country and not living off taxpayers.
Belgium has struggles with the second son and his public tantrums. And the previous king’s illegitimate daughter suing to get her rightful title and be welcomed into the family.
Norway? Martha-Louise and her Shady Shaman are not helping matters.
The Danish one, ArtHistorian can elaborate. Margrethe appears to have pulled strings to get her second son a military job outside of the country, because someone decided it was time to cut off the spare from royal duties. It should have been done before Joachim married the first time, but the DRF was happy to have the PR of a multiracial working royal on their books for a few years. If the spare wasn’t supposed to be a working royal as an adult, they should have made it clear to him 2-3 decades ago and shoved him out the door then.
Japan? The second son and his wife used (illegal) gender selection to have a son a decade+ after they had their two daughters. Right when Japan was discussion changing the inheritance laws and allowing the rightful heir, Princess Aiko, to be Empress.
Spain? I doubt Felipe is speaking to either of his sisters. Both are international scandals now.
And isn’t it something the that British royal family is still more dysfunctional than all of them combined?
The fact that the palace launched a “counter-attack” before even knowing what harry and Meghan were even going to say spoke volumes to me.
Only people with a lot to hide, living in fear of it coming out, would jump the gun like that.
The week before that interview was HILARIOUS. Those people in the UK were sweating bullets so bad. I can’t wait for the Queen to die – not because I want her to die- I just hope that’s when ALL of the tea gets spilled about that family and how messed up they are.
I think he’s going to do his own ‘tell all’ interview. The leaking is blowing up in his face and it just kills him that he isn’t the media darling that he fantasies that he is.
Keens been quiet foe a few days, benched again?
I have noticed the lack of “Kate is the peacemaker” stories
It’s best to let Little Willy be dragged to hell and back for his hypocrisy. Even Kate doesn’t want in on that because it’ll just highlight her own behavior. She’s actually showing some restraint and playing it smart for once. Willy got the spotlight he was wanting. Lol. But I’m sure this PR disaster will be spun as more reasons why William needs Keen for support.
Poor willie,
Harry came to the unveiling statue and smiling the whole time. Willie was waiting for harry to suck up to him or atleast show a sad or angry face at him so that the BM can crussified harry.
He wants to show off to H&M that he made England win during the EURO final. They had lost and his attempt to be a hero against racism backfire.
In his head these are all H&M faults. His dumb brain cant comprehend that he is a loser and cant compete with them. He need to win in this silly one sided competition.
Carole or lilibet need to tell willie that he had won and give a plastic medal or something. Willie cant tell the difference anyway.
I feel like this will be a trend for Willie going forward. Set up and fail while his brother succeeds. It almost feels like a comedic film if it weren’t so sad watching everyone’s trauma and suffering play out for all the world to see.
William is losing it and I for one am loving it. Does he have no one who is truly on his side? He is being dragged across social media. Does he not realize that he and he alone has outed himself as the instigator of the attacks against Meghan? His name is dirt internationally.
He appears increasingly unhinged and no amount of propping up by the Daily Mail is going to change international perceptions.
He drove his brother’s wife to the point of suicide and Dallas it a game? Whew this family is the worst. For Williams kids’ sake I hope this monarchy farce ends
Sounds like someone is desperate to veer public attention away from his very public diplomacy errors with Scotland, Australia and Italy in a short amount of time and his anti-racism tweet that was soundly criticized.
Where are the articles about Willyboy disrespecting Liz by ignoring the “smooth things over” request?
What exactly is this nonsense: “He felt decisive action was needed, that he needed to play them at their own game. The smoothing over that the Queen had been doing very diligently from the moment Meghan came on the scene just wasn’t paying off at all. So maybe he thought he’d try a different tact.”??
This is insanity.
Aka undermining the queen.
Yikes this is all such inept PR? Which makes me wonder… is this even from William or is someone trying to throw him under the bus?
Could Charles be behind this to put Wills in his place?
Could Kate be spreading this to muck up his image so he won’t leave her?
Could the RRs be laying the groundwork for a full on assault of the Cambs?
All of your points are relevant Rapunzel. I’ve felt that Charles has been spinning out enough rope for Wills to hang himself for some time now. Any day now he’s going to do something so appallingly stupid and embarrassing that the RRs won’t be able to cover it over. Kate and Carol(E) have been trying to push her image as peacemaker and best FFQC EVER for ages now but it’s like trying to polish a turd. And because the Sussexes have everything locked down so tightly, there’s really nothing the Rota can do but continue tilting at windmills with the same old false narratives or eventually turn on the Cambs because there’s so much they’re sitting on that, if revealed, would be disastrous for the BRF.
All of those are valid questions, Rapunzel. William has given all of them to be disenchanted with him (except Dan Wootton-that pairing and DW’s romanticizing of William is just f&cking off the walls). Charles pulled some d&ckhead moves with Harry & Meghan with $. I never had the impression Charles was ever actually jealous of their popularity. H & M’s work ethic and popularity made the monarchy look good & interesting – finally. Harry & Meghan got things done. Will & Kate really haven’t done anything notable with end results. A smear campaign and bullying allegations is what they’ve done. Lazy ass people that would be proven wrong with receipts. Tie that in with the Middleton/Wootton PR that W & K should be King & Queen now while having done nothing…like Jaded said, Charles is giving Will rope. Has KP/William ever put out a message like after the loss of my grandfather I’m here to support my grandmother and father in the future of the monarchy? Nope.
He is going to be the King George of the 21st century. King George lost the colonies in 1776 and PWT will lose the Commonwealth in 2021.
Realistically speaking, Queenie lost the Commonwealth and the Empire. The Commonwealth as it exists today is mainly a social club for countries that England uses to pretend it still has an Empire.
This is a surprisingly unflattering article about William. That his behavior is being pointed out so blatantly is shocking!
I’m really confused by this. Is this supposed to make William look good? He comes across as a vindictive, hypocritical jerk who can’t move on with his life. He thinks he can dump all his problems, jealousy and shortcomings into Meghan’s lap, and she ( and Harry), refuse, as they should. They are living their life, and he needs to do the same. Hope they continue to ignore his bs, and leave it to the lawyers when it’s necessary.I’m tired of the Cambridge’s. All this and they’re still boring AF.
Meanwhile Meghan is playing with her kids in her beautiful backyard in CA.
Agree with pleasure
Only W, his demented courtiers, and the self serving trashy BM would conclude that H&M are playing games here. W may be competing by himself with H but that’s about it. He will learn, or he will not. Either way, the Sussexes are building a humanitarian and business life based on integrity, hard work, and compassion. Try that, W, why don’t you?
No one wants a male King. A grandmotherly queen is one thing, but a white man struggling for alpha status is not a good look in the 21st century.
If I were advising him, it would be to lean into an ‘I’m a good father’ role, as it would set him apart from his own father, set a good example for the ‘future subjects’ to do well by their own kids, and bring the focus back into his small family. Partnering with Kate on parenting initiatives could help to shift gender stereotypes.
So much they could do. Hopefully they get some good advice too.
Anyone else thing ‘Me you can’t see’ was a suggestion from Harry to Will that he also seek out some good therapy?
Watcher, the problem with your suggestion is that I can’t see W & K partnering on anything successfully. That way leads to disaster. Perhaps he should do as you suggest, but alone not with K.
I reckon he thinks their “game” is calling out racism for clout, because the clueless git thinks everything is about fronting for popularity.
I bet he thinks he’s being *so* generous to the Black England players for even tweeting about the Euros at all.
Racism often comes from a place of deep insecurity, a fear that one would be nothing in a meritocracy. Now, wouldn’t someone whose prosperity is built on birthright also fear a meritocratic society? Wouldn’t they ‘condescend’ to pretend a belief in fairness to protect their own PR?
Side note on the Windsors – While watching the Euros with my family, my dad exclaimed “George still has his hair!”
I was like, “He’s seven…”. That’s all my dad knows about BRF. Baldness.
This is about the inquiry into bullying allegations against the Duchess of Sussex. TOB panicked before the Oprah interview and made allegations against Meghan. The interview focused on the reason they left rather than Bill’s antisocial behaviour towards the Duchess.
The announcement of a formal inquiry was made and an attempt to close it was met with intervention from the Duchess lawyer. Bill should have read the Magna Carta. As it stands those allegations would have to be formally proven with the results being available.
Whilst the Duchess did not confront him, she is using the law to challenge the allegations. She is asking for clarity and direct access to the accusations against her in order to answer them with factual information.
The press is probably aware and is trying to have plausible deniability by publishing this article. They are the euphemism for ‘Palace Sources’. They are pointing to the real source without revelation.
It is further alleged that two other members of his communication team ( Tories Operatives) has left KP employ.
The four recently departed staff members will claim they were following instructions if their reports are legally challenged.
All fingers are pointing to one individual.
What does he do? He attacks and further exposes his behaviour. Self-reporting at its best.
It is unclear that he realized the legal and moral implications of his behaviour as he plow forward while everything explodes around him.
Simply stated, the emperor has no clothes. No amount of finger pointing nor projection can change the reality.
As usual the competition and fight has been one-sided, as it should be.
Isnt it ironic in a schadenfreude kind of way, tho: H&M protected bullyiam by choosing not to name the culprit (whom many folks hv identified as Bullyiam while others say its Charles). So M&H protected him (while protecting themselves also, because can u imagine the uproar if they had named him? especially if they had no documentary evidence that could stand up in court if it got to that.
So this idiot was protected but he couldnt see it so there he is, outing himself every chance he gets. Dumbfcuk m0r0n. I think H knows his brother is impaired which is why he continues to say he loves him, despite his obvious cruelty.
Thank you, now it makes sense.
I’m sorry, I don’t get it. What are they doing that remotely resembles Harry and Meghan? Nothing I can see so I guess it was a failure.
Right? What exactly is this “game” that they believe H&M hv been “playing” and when do we get to see Bullyiam attempt to play this “game”? We’ve seen their pathetic attempts to copy H&M and the globe sees that its a laughable failure. So……whats going on?
TOB should figure out his own game before trying to beat someone else at theirs.
It’s early days still but it looks like the public has had it with his hypocrisy. Maybe Cain and Unable have both been benched.
It’s officially Silly Season (cucumber time) in the UK, the period lasting for a few summer months typified by the emergence of frivolous news stories in the media.
So I ‘m not surprised the media and the royals are launching their Summer distraction campaigns.
William should listen to his grandmother, make peace with the Sussexes and focus on his royal duties, support his father and be a good example to his children. Striving to be a celebrity is not his rightful path.
Well, somebody’s raging even harder as we speak. Meghan just won’t stop working and winning, dagnabbit!!!
“He felt decisive action was needed, that he needed to play them at their own game.”
So, work?
H&M don’t think about you.
This bobble head weirdo is exhausting. The UK press thinks these stories makes him seem “manly” or what ? I don’t get it . It’s obvious that he controlled the entire campaign of hate towards Meghan and Harry. And he can’t compete with them he is damaging his image more and more everyday . What a creep .
I wonder if William knows his admirers are dwindling and if that alone is turning him even more bitter and angry. Something is eating at him and I don’t believe it’s just H & M.
So, what is he gonna do? Ignore them ? Lol but he keeps talking about them !
I wish I will see the end of this – and all – monarchies and other inherited privileges.
