Richard Eden: The Sussexes ‘increased the danger of attacks’ on the Windsors

Prince William, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle attend an Anzac Day Service

One of the most bonkers things about covering royal race relations was the slow realization that, in the UK, the press tends to blame racists and victims of racism equally. There’s a sense of “wow, that person is terribly racist, but how dare someone point that out.” This was magnified by everything about and around the Duchess of Sussex. Meghan was victimized by blatant racism and racist dog whistles from the very start. She and Harry were targeted by a racist press, which then incited more racist bullsh-t against the Sussexes. There were absolutely moments when I was sure that the Windsors, the British media and many British people wanted to do very real harm to Meghan. And whenever she or Harry pointed any of that out, they were attacked for calling out racism, for being “woke,” for being troublemakers, for being too sensitive. It was like it was their fault for… being victimized. Anyway…

Imagine the kind of moronic train of thought that goes into this. Meghan and Harry fled this toxic country – as there were open moves to exile them “to Africa” – and managed to survive and thrive in America, even without royal protection, and even with the UK press openly harassing them and talking about how Meghan needed to die for the good of the royal family. Literally!! And now Harry and Meghan are being blamed for *talking* about how they were victimized by racism and… they’re being blamed for what exactly? As I said, it’s moronic.

One good thing did come out of Eden’s tweet – people kept bringing up Prince William’s alleged affair with Rose Hanbury:

    Richard Eden is rightfully getting dragged on Twitter, and of course he is complaining about cancel culture.

    • Elizabeth Regina says:

      He is an evil weasel who poked a hornet’s nest. The good thing about the hashtag being changed is that more eyes are now looking at the new hashtag for starters. Also a few more independent reporters are coming out and having their say. KARMA,

    • Andrew's Nemesis says:

      He’s absolutely batshit crazy as well as evil, racist and misogynistic. Utter tool.

      • BothSidesNow says:

        He is!! In fact, they are pointing out his own reports of W’s adultery several years ago. Eden is truly a vile man.

        As I was falling down the rabbit hole of Twitter with #princewilliamaffair, I saw a post that mentioned Kaiser@CB, but I lost WiFi for an hour, though I copied it, it was lost during the loss. I was so excited to see it mentioned. But alas, it is further down than I am willing to go this late in the day. But it seems that those on Salty Island of Petty do read CB, as Kaisers handle was underlined in red!!

      • Feeshalori says:

        @BSN, this is the link you posted in the other thread, I hope this is what you meant.

    • Emma says:

      Wow, because reality is exactly the opposite of what Eden is saying. The Windsors put Harry and Meghan in danger by collaborating with racist attacks on them in the press and then by cutting them off with no security or funding. By contrast, Harry and Meghan have been very careful.

      • Jais says:

        It’s really crazy how the racists and their supporters just want to be seen as the victims.

      • Duch says:

        Yes, this. When I read the title of the article I thought it was about the press creating more likelihood of attacks against H and M. Finally, I thought. I should have known better – here’s another thing H and M have done against the RF. So ridiculous. It’s like when everyone blamed Obama for anything and everything.

    • Chelle says:

      He’s just a paid troll.

    • Speaking of being dragged on Twitter how is no one talking about the fact that PrinceWilliamAffair is trending right now?!??

    • Babz says:

      I reported that Tweet to Twitter yesterday, as did many others, and got the usual “this does not fit our guidelines “ garbage. 🙄

  2. Kalana says:

    Twitter is removing William from the trending hashtags. This is ridiculous. They gave Murky Meg a blue check and give so much racist and misogynistic abuse free reign but they’re hiding Prince William’s affair.

    Oh and Kate fired a staffer for arranging a trip for Will and Rose. Does that count as workplace bullying?

    • Chloe says:

      Multiple users have complained to twitter about meghan hating content that is literally recommended to them. But they were quick to hide the prince william affair trend. Where is that free speech?

      • Yinyang says:

        Can it be that wills paid Twitter, if that’s the case it’s nice the working Brits are paying their hard earned money to bash an innocent women and protect the useless rf instead of going towards their own families and children’s future. Freedom of speech is null there.

      • Villanelle says:

        Chloe, come on. You’re smarter than that. Twitter can decide what they want about published speech, they’re not a government entity. Free speech is not protected (yeesh).

      • Villanelle says:

    • truthSF says:

      They tried, but it didn’t take. Now more and more ppl (esp blue checks) are posting with that hashtag! #princewilliamaffair is trending and it’s picking up speed quickly. It went from 17.8K tweets to 23K in less than an hour. Expect it to trend all day!

      • Kalana says:

        They’re modifying it so it only says Prince William, both in the UK and the US. This is bullshit.

        How does Baldimort have so much power? What else is being covered up?

      • Laura-Lee MacDonald says:

        My husband, who knows only what celebrity gossip I tell him, (and he only pretends to listen to be polite as I am still wfh and have lost my office gossip sphere), but is very active on science Twitter is now fully versed on the entire affair debacle, including the Vanity Fair edits. If my husband knows……the whole world knows. Heh heh heh.

      • ArtHistorian says:

        @Kalana – because a significant and powerful part of the British establishment want the monarchy to continue. William IS the future of the British monarchy – and he can’t afford any dirt to stick to him because of that, and because his father is so unpopular and other members are embroiled in serious scandal (Andrew). That is why he (and his wife) is so protected and embiggened – and I don’t think this will change unless there’ll be a broad, popular and loud resistance to the monarchy in Britain.

        Harry and Meghan leaving (and doing the Oprah interview) actually did damage the British monarchy. They may not have intended to – but the very act of leaving was damaging to the institution that is supposedly the pinnacle of British society. If a member born, especially a very popular one, into it voluntarily leaves and is visibly happy about it, that reveals something negative about the institution. The interview the went on to put the spotlight on the institution in a very damaging way (rightly so).

      • Duch says:

        Wait @arthistorian the way that comment was written, it makes it sound like h and m didn’t intend to damage the institution, but *they* did. I think the genesis was not them leaving, but all the lies and attacks and rejection and lack of support that caused them to leave. If the institution was harmed, it was self-inflicted.

      • windyriver says:

        @AH – what you say is definitely true. But also, Harry leaving – Harry, who was the real workhorse, and was conveniently available for so many years to be thrown under the bus to cover for Will – has left Will increasingly exposed for what he is and what he lacks, and vulnerable in a way he hasn’t been before. And that’s doing damage as well. What kind of people are these, that others are supposed to look up to and support? No one has picked up the slack re: work, and after two years gone, attempting to drag Harry/Meghan, living in CA, into RF related issues as cover looks more and more ridiculous.

      • ArtHistorian says:

        @Dutch – the very act of leaving did damage the institution, and while it is true that they left because they were ill treated. So there’s an amount of self-inflicted damage. But let’s not ignore that the choices of Harry and Meghan hasn’t done damage to the institution. They’ve been driven to make those choices but they were active choices with consequences. Let’s not forget the fact that the reason the BRF thought they could mistreat Meghan was because it never occurred to them that Harry would leave with her. I don’t think they actively want to inflict damage to the institution but they’ve been put in a position where their choices actually do damage. I’m especially thinking about the Oprah interview. The damage they do is telling the truth about what they were put through – and the BRF can only blame themselves for that. They could have just left them alone.

        That’s what I mean by Harry and Meghan not wanting to damage the institution – but their choices have because they were driven to those choices. Just like Diana was driven to her choice to tell the truth about her marriage.

      • Deering24 says:

        ArtHistorian, the BRF bears complete responsibility for damaging itself. It didn’t need to harass Meghan; it didn’t need to sic the BP on her. And it could have opted for Harry’s half-in/half-out arrangement, but it just had to “win.” The BRF had choices every step of the way, but their choice was to deprive H&M of any options. In short, they fucked around and found out–and are getting exactly what they deserve.

      • BothSidesNow says:

        @ Deering24, I agree. I thought that it was extremely gracious of Harry and Meghan to offer the half in/out, considering how Meghan was treated, but they poo-poo’d that offer. Yes, the BRF are getting everything that they deserve as they set these wheels in motion. I think it’s actually quite stunning that they thought with all of Harry’s accomplishments that he has done as an adult would have given them a clear indication as to how well adjusted Harry is and how dedicated and devoted he is to causes that are close to his heart. Harry had created several initiatives on his own, on top of his patronages, yet they seemed to think that he wouldn’t walk away.

        Did they think he would fail and come running back to them?

        @ ArtHistorian, you are exactly right!! They never thought that Harry would walk away. But, W & K went too far, TQ and Chuck wouldn’t step in, as they should have, which started the wheels moving. I am certain that it was quite a shock to the BRF when it was first mentioned. We must remember that BRF has always depended on knowing, foolishly, that Harry would keep The Monarchy running smoothly once W was king. But, they underestimated Harry’s devotion and love for his wife and his son, at the time. Harry knew that he would stand by Meghan without hesitation, which the BRF gambled with and lost. You are absolutely right about the damage to the Monarchy, but it is all self inflicted, as you stated.
        Harry and Meghan had no choice, which is what no one in that family can understand and the fact that Harry is gloriously happy, with his brilliant and stunning wife, and his two gorgeous children, is what is making everyone on that Island go crazy with these relentless attacks that continue day after day, in my opinion regarding the attacks.

        Now they are stuck with a narcissistic, angry, rage-monster who happens to be married to a lazy, vile and incompetent stick figure! Plus, TQ is still in her bubble of denial and grief and Chuck is sleeping with one eye open at all hours of the night, and day as well.

        Then we have the Maxwell, who has been found guilty, which is wonderful as I think it will help VG’s case with PedoAndy.

        🎶It’s a wonderful day in the neighborhood, a wonderful day in the neighborhood …..🎶

      • RoyalBlue says:

        @Arthistorian, the royal family has damaged itself. In no way form and fashion did the Sussexes do any damage to that already damaged institution. They left to literally save their lives. William and Jason damaged the institution by underhanded activities, Charles damaged the institution by allowing William to run rampant. The Queen has allowed this damage of the institution to occur under her watch. Let’s put the blame for this where it rightfully belongs.

    • Elizabeth Regina says:

      The removal of the hashtag has backfired. Getting Twitter to intervene has been noticed and that’s all people are talking about. KP has just outed their invisible contract and the fact that they could actually have protected the Sussexes if they chose to. I’m sure Clarence House is rubbing their hands with glee.

      • Kalana says:

        No, now Twitter has modified the hashtag to remove the word affair so it looks like only Prince William is trending.

        Why are they doing this for him? Why is everyone so scared of William?

      • Jan90067 says:

        I *just* went in again (now on my computer – was on the iPad before) and #PrinceWilliamAffair is STILL up with now 420 comments. There are two more: #PrinceWilliamsAffair (with over 500) and #PrinceWilliam trending (with 120)

      • Jais says:

        Ok, Amanda Taylor on Twitter wrote:
        Every time #princewilliam has an affair, a hair follicle loses its wings.

        😂I’m sorry but that’s funny.

      • Babz says:

        @Jais, that was the first thing I retweeted this morning! That was an epic tweet!

      • Lorelei says:

        @Kalana, I just read your updated response explaining and am INFURIATED. This is so egregious that I have no words at the moment.

      • Mrs.Krabapple says:

        I don’t understand how removing the specific word “affair” from the hashtag helps William? Now, wouldn’t people who would normally skip a “gossipy” hashtag like #princewilliamaffair, be led to click on an innocent-looking #princewilliam and be faced with the SAME accusations? Unless they scrub every post, you can’t stop people from tweeting under the new hashtag? Maybe I just don’t understand how this works.

      • Jais says:

        I think you’re totally right @mrskrabapple, which makes it epically hilarious, omg.

      • Donna B. says:

        @ElizabethRegina You’re right. 😆😆😆

    • equality says:

      I have reported all types of nasty remarks and people on twitter, including those with blue checks and never hear back or see any results. Makes you wonder who is behind some of these accounts that get well protected.

    • Ginger says:

      It’s more proof that KP is behind these Megan hate accounts. The hashtag is trending in the US.

      • Marivic says:

        Yes I searched it and, as of this time, it’s the no.3 trending in the US.
        #princewilliamaffair. 29.8 k tweets

        No. 15 trending in the UK.
        #princewilliamaffair. 29.8 k tweets

    • ShazBot says:

      Uhh Kalana what is that story???

      • Sofia says:

        Someone on Twitter said that William apparently went away with Rose and when Kate found out, she fired the staff who organised it.

        It’s all *allegedly* of course.

      • JT says:

        Not only did Kate fire the staffer who arranged the trip, people are saying that Kate also blamed the departure of the woman on Meghan. Those stories about Meghan treating staff poorly are most likely about Kate being upset that the staff was facilitating William’s affairs. Im betting the real bully was Kate, just like the cry story was switched.

      • MsIam says:

        I wonder if that is the one who was fired right after she came back from her honeymoon? I remember there were all those stories about it like it was some big deal but no one really said why. And they did say she was let go because Meghan and Harry leaving made her redundant.

      • The Hench says:

        Yes, @MsIam – it is the one that was fired straight after coming back from her honeymoon. There was even a press article archly asking the question “Who fires someone straight after their honeymoon?”. KP tried to cover the story by saying the aide co-ordinated between H&M and K&W so the split to BP by H&M was the reason the aide lost her job – but the report was she was ‘fired’ not ‘let go’ or ‘made redundant’.

      • Nic919 says:

        As with everything, they have projected all they do onto Meghan. Kate firing staff because they did their job, which I am sure William asked them to do, is pretty despicable and she should be dealing with her cheating husband and not the staff who don’t have a choice but to do what he asks. She’s the bully here and I hope the terminated employees commenced litigation because there was no basis for her to do that.

      • Demi says:

        The tea is that an independent Scottish journalist confirmed not only the affair is true but known fact by everyone in the British media but the press can’t report on it because of court injunction .. Remember another journalist was saying” OMG I can’t wait till the papers can report on W freely” lol dirty laundry is about to be reveled

      • windyriver says:

        Remember, Harry and Meghan did fire Melissa Toubati, a friend of Jason who had gotten her the job with the Sussexes. (As Jason’s friend, we can made some educated guesses about what Toubati did to merit that). This occurred early, shortly before the wedding I think. I could see them getting the idea to merge this woman’s firing by Kate with Toubati’s firing, and dump it all on Meghan as bully, to cover for Kate, and get back at Meghan for Toubati. That would be right up Jason’s alley.

      • purplecupcakes says:

        Evil Kate back at it with her racist “lets let the biracial woman take the blame” again. 100% that woman needs a psych eval.

    • Andrew's Nemesis says:

      I’m SO enjoying Twitter right now. #PrinceWilliamAffair

    • The Hench says:

      Deleted.

    • Jan90067 says:

      Hmmm…. this tweet comment about Bitter Brother going away with his Rose Bush *allegedly* *snicker*, Kate finding out and firing staff, Meghan being blamed for staff leaving… remember Meghan DID say in the Oprah interview that “Kate was going through some things” and “isn’t a bad person”. That *could* be what was being referred to at the time.

      Of course, we all know NOW just how much KHate has been contributing to the smearing SINCE and NOW.

    • Mrs.Krabapple says:

      So if there’s a thread #williamaffair about some other guy named William (not a prince) would that be allowed?

    • Mrs.Krabapple says:

      As the internet (and other technology) evolves, “regular” newspapers and news sources become less and less popular/necessary. William won’t be king for a long time, and by then there may be no royal rota for him to control.

  3. Amy Bee says:

    It was a moronic and racist tweet and I’m glad he and William are getting a backlash. The press knows who the racist royal is but they’ve decided to sit on that story just like they do with William’s affair.

    • Elizabeth Regina says:

      Richard and many rota rats do not know when to stop. Much like their bosses, oversmearing is a tried and tested tactic of theirs. Sadly they all don’t seem to think things through and they overestimate their influence whilst underestimating the backlash and implosion. KP, BP and CH need to call off their attack dogs. They are doing way more harm to brand royal with their incompetent PR tactics.

      • Chloe says:

        I wish the affair would trend every time the rota rats take meghans name in their mouth. Expect a story coming in 3…2…1…

    • Mrs.Krabapple says:

      “Who the racist royal is” — um, that makes it sound like it’s just *one.* I think “who the racist royals are” would be more accurate?

  4. Chloe says:

    The most interesting thing about the prince william affair hashtag is twitter trying to suppress it.

    • truthSF says:

      Not anymore!! Too bad for Rat Eden and Bulliam!!🥴

    • Jais says:

      How do people know that Twitter tried to suppress it? Sorry, just don’t know how it works. Do tweets disappear?

      • Jay says:

        Apparently while the hashtag “prince william affair” is trending everywhere else, it’s been mysteriously shortened to just “prince william”, at least for UK users. So perhaps they were hoping to make it seem like William himself was trending, but as always with this crew, the cover up is more damaging than the crime.

        Also, isn’t Eden the originator of the “rural rival” story in the first place? And now he’s basically revived it in the guise of racist concern trolling. Is he just spectacularly bad at his job? With friends like these, who needs enemies, huh William?

      • swirlmamad says:

        I was just searching #princewilliamaffair and it is a treat this gloomy morning 😂 Apparently they’ve been changing #princewilliamaffair to just #princewilliam….but someone pointed out that when you click that it still goes to tweets about the affair. These people are dumber than a box of rocks. LMAO!

      • Red Snapper says:

        I’m Canadian. I was up at 3 am scrolling the hashtag, it was trending top five, and then *poof* it just disappeared from the trending list. Of course, the squad saw it too…

      • Kacy says:

        With an super-injunction in place, Twitter may not have had a legal choice but to shorten the hashtag.

  5. Badgerette86 says:

    #princewilliamaffair is trending at #3 stateside 🙂

  6. Hirut says:

    I am in the Uk and # when I look on Twitter the #princewilliamaffair is still visible to me, and still trending but others are saying that it’s not. Good, serve him and that racist owl looking creep Richard Eden.

  7. FancyPants says:

    Well kudos to everybody who predicted Meghan would be blamed for the Windsor castle crossbow intruder. They really did find a way. Sigh.

    • Duch says:

      I hadn’t yet made that connection. That seems very sadly correct.

    • Mrs.Krabapple says:

      In my imagination, that was an angry father coming after Andrew. Why is Andrew’s crimes not a cause for security concerns?

      • Jais says:

        On point. You’re so right. Why didn’t a royal reporter tweet that it was vengeance for andrew’s victims that led someone to wield a crossbow. But nah clearly it’s Meghan’s fault.

  8. Miss M says:

    William and his people don’t get it. Nobody would care about his affair if he wasn’t a (alleged) racist (but definite) hypocrite

    • swirlmamad says:

      And trying and FAILING to portray himself as the most loving, devoted husband and father of the year. Too bad your bro’s the one who’s got that persona on lock for real, Willy boy.

      • SharonA says:

        There’s some women now posting what a loving supportive husband Wills is and that pic of them looking at each other, what did they say ‘festive glance’ (?) thus proving that after 10 years, they’re just as in love as ever!

    • Babz says:

      I made a comment on Twitter yesterday that it’s screamingly obvious that there is no one in the courtier world who can think strategically, especially at KP. They ricochet from mistake to mistake, making things worse, and when they try to course correct, they completely fumble it. They simply are not smart people. I really think that this hashtag suppression effort on their part is about to blow up the story they have tried so hard hide. Karma is moving in quickly…

    • Sue E Generis says:

      More than that. It was Meghan who was forced to be scapegoat to distract from his affair (s). That ‘s when everything ramped up to defcon 5 and she became suicidal. Then the horrific, vengeful way she and Harry were cast out because she refused to be his whipping boy. The whole thing is absolutely vile. William’s cheating is the least of it.

  9. Digital Unicorn says:

    He’s trending on UK Twitter at the moment due to both his lawyers and Twitter trying to shut down talk of his affair s racism.

    Twitter is also pointing out that the super injunction he has only applies in England. Come one European or Scottish media. Drop all the tea.

    Also seems Kate sacked the PA who organised rose trimming trips and then blamed Meghan.

    • JT says:

      She was taking her anger out on the PAs over William and then Meghan gets the blame. So who was really terrorizing the staff and bringing them to tears? They never gave a specific example of what Meg did, probably because it was Kate that was bullying staffers. A journalist has also pointed out that Kate always knew about William side pieces but she didn’t care. She wants to be queen.

      • Kalana says:

        Kate is a known bully and mean girl and William is a bully as well. Yet we were supposed to believe that somehow Megan was the bully.

      • Nic919 says:

        Projection as always. Everything Meghan was accused of doing has been done by Kate and William. Catherine Quinn left right when her two years ended. That woman was well qualified and knew a toxic work environment when she saw one.

      • Jan90067 says:

        Kate WAS a side piece in Uni first, until that infamous catwalk in the hiked up sheer skirt. She *supposedly* didn’t care about affairs as long as he was discrete. Rose became VERY public when Kate tried to “get rid” of her in their soc. circle (which showed her just exactly where *she* (Kate) was in their social order, even as FFQC.

        Wasn’t Louis the makeup/bandaid baby from the Rose Bush affair? Will always said he only wanted two…and voila! Heeeeere’s Louis!

      • Nic919 says:

        Louis happened after the ski trip in Verbier where William was caught on video dancing with women. The rose affair story came out in 2019 after louis was born.

      • Marivic says:

        This William affair could perhaps be the reason why Kate has suddenly looked anorexic/bulimic, old and haggard. Any wife could suffer mental health issues and loss of self-confidence/self-worth if her husband is a two-timer and maintains an ongoing affair. And she’s exactly that. Wow. Kate should find the courage to stand up for herself against William’s cruelty. Being queen is not worth it if in the process you lose yourself and your dignity. Good William is being publicly undressed for the savage person that he is. #Princewilliamaffair

      • SarahLee says:

        I think she knows and doesn’t truly care, BUT she also doesn’t want to be embarrassed. Keep it discreet like Phillip and the would probably be just fine with a little Rose gardening.

    • swirlmamad says:

      So this is what Meghan meant when she said that Kate was “going through some things” at the time of the crying lie and why she blew up and made MEGHAN cry. She was going through some things, all right. Whew.

      • aftershocks says:

        I have no pity for mean girl Kate Guevara. She thought she got what she wanted in Will, so she should just continue to deal with the karmic spoils. They deserve each other! Both of them are petty, insecure, and mean-spirited, all the while constantly pretending to be what they are NOT!

        Kate’s legendary shopping sprees and facial treatments should continue to pacify her. That is, if she needs further pacification beyond the Dame Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order medal the Queen bestowed upon her in 2019 for putting up with Wandering Willy’s preening peen trimming rosebushes in Norfolk.

  10. equality says:

    Interesting viewpoint based on ONE person trying to get in ONE castle. The actual perpetrator has already said it was because of the Amristar Massacre. NOTHING to do with H&M. The RF’s own past colonization and history coming back to roost. Eden is full of it and HE is the one, along with the Windsors, increasing the danger of attacks on H&M.

    • SarahLee says:

      Yeah, but Sikhs are dark-skinned, so clearly they can blame the bi-racial Dutchess. Eyeroll…

    If I understand correctly he’s also confirming it was William who made the comment about what Archie’s skin would look like. That’s the real take-away from this!

  12. Over it says:

    This is beyond vile and racist as heck. They are actively trying to get crazy ass racist people to do the Sussex’s in . As an American paying taxes and a highly visible person in the public eye, surly the American authorities should do something about this. Like collect Richard Eden and lock his ass up for putting a target on the Sussex’s back. I pray for the, every night they no harm comes to them because if ever one family needs it, it’s Harry and Meghan.

  13. Sofia says:

    Oh we’ve gone from linking her to fuelling war by eating avocados to trying to link her to someone wanting to kill the queen. Hope he didn’t break his back making that stretch.

  14. Tessa says:

    The royals caused their own damage. William’s meddling and his giving Harry unwanted advice was a huge factor in the problem. The Queen or Charles did not try to contain this problem before it got out of control.

      ^^ Yep @Tessa! Dumbness on the part of Betty, Chuck, and the grey men, that will go down in history. I would include Andrew too because it was his and Chuck’s dislike of Sir Christopher Geidt (the Queen’s private secretary for over 10 years) which got Geidt pushed out, and Chuck’s ineffectual suck-up, Sir Edward Young installed. The Queen is to blame for this too because she allowed her sons to have their way in kicking Geidt out. As compensation, the Queen gave Geidt additional honors and sent him to be an administrator at the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust (which I believe was Geidt’s brainchild — the QCT was ostensibly put together and launched in 2016 for Harry to have an active, influential role after he was forced to leave the military).

      Geidt is said to have been very effective in resolving constant arguments between Chuck and his sons. Geidt also frowned on Andrew’s behavior and made efforts to contain him. Being the originator of a plan to bring all the competing palaces under one umbrella, turned out to be Geidt’s downfall. Andrew, Chuck, and Wills did not want this consolidation to happen (that’s how dumb they all are).

      Meanwhile, Geidt is a smart man, and he appeared to appreciate Meghan, but the coup against Geidt was initiated in August 2017, prior to M&H’s engagement announcement. Thus the loss of Geidt at BP’s helm hastened the butthead mistakes and the ongoing downfall of the monarchy.

    How stupid is it that Richard Eden is “genuinely worried” about the royal family’s security. Trying to blame H&M. I wonder how many sleepless nights Richard Eden suffered as a result. Also, Bill’s looking for a new royal fiction writer, apparently Richard Eden is busy looking to beef up security for the royal family.

  16. girl_ninja says:

    I was so angry and scared for the Sussexs that I reported the tweet. He is a hateful and evil man and I hope his dog whistling days come to and end soon.

    I had no idea that the #princewilliamaffair hashtag was a thing and that it was trending. Good. I’m happy to push it along. Welcome to Jupiter in Pisces folks.

    • Babz says:

      See my comment above…I reported him too, and got the Twitter “does not violate our guidelines” message.

  17. Tessa says:

    The royals were threatened well before Meghan and Harry were around. An attempt was made on the Queen’s life at a Trooping of the Color ceremony in 1981, an attempt was made to kidnap Princess Anne, and someone actually got into BP into the Queen’s room (he had mental health issues). And Mountbatten was actually assassinated. Eden needs to check out some royal history books.

    • HeatherC says:

      Although Meghan wasn’t born yet, I’m sure it was all her fault in anticipation of her arrival into the world.

    • Agreatreckoning says:

      Eden’s iniquity knows no bounds. Effin gobshite.

      Yes, he apparently has forgotten the history of intruders on palace grounds. The link mentions the one you brought up @Tessa. He shimmied up a drain pipe.

    • Demi says:

      There was a shooting incident too during the 90s when a person from the crowds in Australia fired bullets while Prince Charles was on stage but he was quickly caught that’s why royals need security they are always targeted because of their wealth&privilage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2emW_LvxmY
      Also there was a creep in the crowd who tried to grab princess Diana it’s all been recorded

      • Emma says:

        They’re (often) targeted because they’re leeches from a long line of murderous colonial leeches. That was the problem with Mountbatten especially, who did his best to tyrannize India. I’m not here for whitewashing that as “oh they’re wealthy and privileged.”

  18. blackfemmebot says:

    I so badly want this to mark a turning point in how the BM deals with Bulliam and the entire RF. Burger King only trends for the worst reasons ie: racism, not congratulating Italy, affair, etc so maybe the engagement the Rota rats are in desperate need of could actually come from them finally telling the truth about Wills?

    • Kalana says:

      I still can’t believe William was such a petulant little child about congratulating Italy. He was only at the match because of his role and he couldn’t even behave appropriately. He doesn’t take his job seriously at all.

      • Tessa says:

        Not a role model for his elder son. Little George had to witness this. when he was at that game with his parents I am sorry for George, Charlotte, and Louis.

      • Jaded says:

        Didn’t he take off without visiting the English team and giving them some post-match support? I really hope the damn finally breaks on multiple issues because this dude is beyond toxic and deserves a very public slagging.

  19. aquarius64 says:

    Eden is getting dragged for taking the public for stupid and lacking critical thinking skills. Billy might as well as come clean with his mess; for what makes him think enemies of the UK don’t know his dirt and waiting for the right moment to drop it?

  20. Snuffles says:

    So….I was just in a Twitter space discussing the affair and it was abruptly shut down. And they have now removed the trending hashtag in the US as well.

    Also removed was a tweet from a Norfolk resident that strongly hinted that Prince William is involved in some Eyes Wide Shut type of activities. 👀

    • Kalana says:

      I don’t know if I believe that tweet though. That guy didn’t seem like a Turnip Toff.

      • Snuffles says:

        He didn’t claim to be. Just that he was part of group of pervs that did perrvy shit undercover.

      • Nic919 says:

        I think the mask might be due to Covid restrictions. And there is a ton of staff at these places so they would see him visit. There are never any secrets when you have staff at your home.

      • Sofia says:

        @Nic919: Your last line reminds me of that scene in Bridgerton where they go “if you want gossip on somebody, ask the staff because they hear and see everything” or something like that

    • Merricat says:

      That’s so interesting, Snuffles, and also the bald truth about the media protection extended to some rf members but not others.

    • Mslove says:

      Why anyone worries about the RF security when apparently they control twitter is ludicrous. Also twitter caving to the RF in front of the whole world is ludicrous.

    • Snuffles says:

      @nic919

      No… he used a term, that was explained in the Twitter Spaces, that indicated that the mask wasn’t about COVID, it was about hiding one’s identity while engaged in perverse activity that seems to be going down in Norfolk.

    • notasugarhere says:

      EWS would be no surprise, given Kate’s ‘friendship’ with a racist woman who runs for-profit orgies in stately homes.

    • Lucy says:

      Snuffles, that made me shot take when I read it!
      This, by far, it’s my favorite thread though. https://mobile.twitter.com/PaganTrelawney/status/1476280706221359108
      I mean, it connects the dots most clearly about some of the unusual back stories and how they’re reported/not reported. Although, are Rose’s twins older than George? I remember when she got engaged, she and her sister had been dating a father and son set of aristocracy. Messy.

      • Babz says:

        Pagan is the best! I bookmarked that bad boy!! Thanks for sharing the link. I follow her, but hadn’t seen this yet.

    • ArtHistorian says:

      I went down the rabbit hole and now I know what “dogging” is. If this rumour is true then William is freakier than I thought.

  21. mariahlee says:

    That little gremlin is obsessed with Meghan omg. Piers without the platform. I think it’s karmically dangerous to root for the downfall or exposure of a marriage, so I’ve nothing to say on that. But it is interesting how during the time of the affair rumors, it seemed propping up Kate became a priority for the Firm/press, and of course destroying Meghan was apart of that. It’s cynical, but I could believe that was K’s reward for remaining a dutiful wife.

    • The Hench says:

      There was a comedy edited shot on Twitter of Kate wearing her sash over her evening gown. On the sash was printed “I got this award for ignoring the affair”.

      • Nic919 says:

        It’s literally true though. She was in hiding in the spring of 2019 once the story came out and didn’t show her face until after we heard about the super special royal Victorian order for tolerating a cheating husband.

  22. ML says:

    Um, the WINDSORS “increased the danger of attacks” on the SUSSEXES. So the Sussexes left in order to be safe.

  23. Jay says:

    Oof, I kind of love that the Scottish journalist is pointing out that he is not subject to an English injunction. The Cambridge’s charm offensive there doesn’t seem to have been a success, pity.

    Perhaps they’ll find that they don’t have as much influence with European journalists, either, now that they’ve more or less severed those ties.

    It would be supremely fitting (and entertaining) if William’s support for the conservatives and their Brexit blew up in his face in just this way.

    • Nic919 says:

      I think a Scottish and American journalist need to join up and report on this actual story. Not the affair but the cover up while mentioning the affair. The level of repression of this story in England and the UK in general is no different than what they complain happens in China or North Korea. Britons might want to know that their tyrannical future future king abuses power to hide his personal affairs.

      • Jais says:

        Agree @jay and love how he mentions that he lives in Scotland so the injunction doesn’t apply. @nic919, it must be a super injunction though in that they can’t even mention that there is one. If so, it explains why journalists in the UK don’t even go there at all. Just looked up super-injunctions and one of the only ways to even learn about its existence is that someone outside its jurisdiction reports on it. Possibly someone in Scotland. However, there is also something called an interdict, which is the Scottish version of a super injunction and it depends on whether one was applied for in Scotland or not. It’s possible one was. The only way to know is if someone in Scotland does report on it and it’s not taken down. Apparently this happened in the Giggs case when an affair was being hidden by a super injunction but the interdict in Scotland was not applied for and so the Sunday Herald reported on the affair. Of course none of this applies to journalists in the states or Europe.

      • Nic919 says:

        So that means a Canadian or American journalist should report on this story. UK law holds no weight in either jurisdiction. Super injunctions are concepts that go against any democracy with supposed freedom of press. There are already laws in place for state secrets and marital infidelity is nowhere near that level of importance.

    • Demi says:

      I’m not a lawyer but I did some googling apparently, this super injunction cost lots of money too..

      “One aspect that makes super injunctions so rare is the sheer cost of getting one granted making them a privilege of the wealthy and famous. Such is the urgency they require specialist lawyers to work at the drop of the hat, with fees for the initial injunction costing around £50,000 alone. These fees can extend to £200,000 once you factor in the follow-up court appearance making them out of reach for all but the higher echelons of society.”

      So Wills could be using taxpayers’ money to prevent the papers from reporting on his affair :O + all those helicopter trips to rose bushes that affair& keeping it secret could be funded by public money that’s a whole layer of shadiness why the public isn’t demanding transparency they have the right to know all about this.

  24. Beech says:

    Whoa there’s a “Palestinian AF” woman on Twitter discussing the issue. She’s not having any of the garbage lodged from the Cambridge. @Lexialex

    Wow…Clarence House must be rubbing his hands together and cackling wickedly at this sh*tshow.

    • Nyro says:

      His mouthpiece Robert Jobson shaded Middleton Vanilli’s kindergarten recital the other day. I’m sure Sausage Fingers can’t believe his luck this morning with Richard Eden’s friendly fire towards his own master. It’s trending everywhere! Lots of “like father, like son” tweets.😂

  26. Nyro says:

    Thanks to Richard’s vile tweet, #PrinceWilliamAffair is trending again. I think it might even be trending on a larger scale than it did a few years ago. He shoulda just sat there and ate his food. 😂😂 These people will never learn. They can’t accept that the days of trying to ruin, or even end, Meghan’s life is over. We will always come for that family if they themselves or the British press come for her like this.

  27. aquarius64 says:

    What is this obsession about William not wanting anyone to know he cheated on Kate? Charles is proof adultery will not cost him the throne. Unless it’s more, like an affair resulted in an outside child. That child couldn’t impact the succession due to circumstances of birth, but the embarrassment factor is great I guess.

    • Sofia says:

      I think it’s because William has this “family man who married his college sweetheart” image and an affair will shatter that. And it’s the only thing he’s got going for him, if we’re being honest so unlike Charles, who fell back on his charities/work along with a very long and expensive PR campaign, William doesn’t work much and he doesn’t strike me as someone who will play the long game of building his image up again.

      • Nyro says:

        Yep. His supposedly stable and wholesome family life is the only reason why the British general public is always like “Just skip Charles and give it to William, please”. He’s supposed to be the very opposite of Charles, a steady family man who loves his wife and keeps his nose out of politics. Truth is, he’s also a big time cheater who treats his wife poorly and he’s deeper into right wing politics than Charles ever was into lefty causes.

      • Bren says:

        “family man who married his college sweetheart” – Yep, that’s all William has to lean on because he’s done absolutely nothing of worth in his adult life except be a bully with a birthright. When the family man image goes away he instantly becomes no better than his father. Not even being Diana’s son will save him.

      • Tessa says:

        He is not remotely Diana’s son anymore. He has some Spencer features but he lacks Diana’s warmth.

    • notasugarhere says:

      He has cheated on her for 20 years, so this affair is nothing new. Maybe there’s a financial penalty he has to pay to Keen/Carole every time his cheating goes public?

      • Snuffles says:

        Or if his mistress has his child? 🤔

      • Jaded says:

        From “Mad_Houri” on twitter:

        “Do I care if Royal family threw the Sussexes to the wolves, to hide the fact that Kate Middleton’s husband is the Norfolk Community Peen?”

  28. Over it says:

    Just when Willy thought he could ring in his new year on a happy note, Richard Eden had to go and start shit to protect Willy and look how it turned out for both of them . Not so happy new year you dumb bats.

  29. Eurydice says:

    So weird and hilarious, especially the part about how “genuinely worried” Eden is about something that was said 10 months ago. The only thing he’s worried about is that people will forget it and then he won’t have headlines.

    • Nyro says:

      He’s loving being part of the story and the derangers are too stupid to see it. He’s already reported on the affair previously. And if a brave reporter were to actually blows this story out of the water, Richard would be the first of the rota ratchets to try to capitalize off of it.

  30. NCWoman says:

    The danger to the BRF created by H&M is 1/1 millionth of the danger created by the BRF to H&M. The fascist white supremacists are a documented danger. The other side, not so much. This is like the R’s spreading fear of “antifa.”

  31. Kaydee says:

    He is being attacked on Twitter for this. #PrinceWilliamAffair is trending worldwide and there’s other gossip coming out of the woodwork about secret love child’s and more affairs. The roosters are coming home….

    • Nyro says:

      Apparently, they’re saying he has a little boy with Jecca. I’ve always felt that they’re covering up much more than a longtime affair with Rose. I think it’s much bigger, like an outside kid and being involved in some kind of racist organization or something.

      • Athena says:

        I read a tweet that says Rose’s daughter look a lot like Charlotte.

      • Harper says:

        Imagine Kate bugging Will for a third child and him saying no, and then her finding out that one of his other ladies had already given him baby #3 or #4. Burger King probably had to give Kate what she asked for or else and we have Louis as a result.

    • February pisces says:

      I defiantly think Willie has as many kids as Boris.

    • Nic919 says:

      I always wondered why a super injunction would be granted just for an affair, when Charles had his affairs reported on. It would have to be something more significant for a court to do this and a child would be a reason for it. Courts are more likely to issue publication bans when it comes to protecting the identity of children.

      • Lucy says:

        Nic19, that makes a lot of sense.
        This Twitter thread also raises some interesting questions re Rose and, well, most of her set up.
        https://mobile.twitter.com/PaganTrelawney/status/1476280706221359108

      • nic919 says:

        The twins are older than the daughter and Rose is well aware of the importance of heir and spare and so there is no way the boys are illegitimate. Not in a world where DNA tests are easily available.

        If there is a child out there I don’t think the mother is part of the aristo set. they would have access to birth control and abortions with ease. Also Rocksavage being bi / gay is not the same issue as it would have been decades ago.

        But I do wonder at a super injunction being granted because just an affair isn’t even the scandal they think it is and a court wouldn’t think so either, especially in light of what William’s own father faced. That is why I suspect there is a child involved in this somewhere, although not linked to Rose.

  32. Julia K says:

    In 1999, my husband was diagnosed with early stage cancer, so we spent a lot of time in waiting rooms of oncologists, surgeons, etc. I read a lot of waiting room “rag mags” as they were known then. No internet, tablets or such, just the printed word. I am positive that I read a “blurb” about Prince William and a Dubai princess engaging in inappropriate behavior, with princess being sent back home. Wm would have been 17 or so. I immediately forgot this until 2021 when the topic came up of what does the tabloid press know about Wm that he doesn’t want out there. I have searched all over the internet and can find zero reference to this brief blurb. Either I have a false memory or it has been wiped clean by what forces. Just putting this out there to see if anyone else may have seen this.

    • Nyro says:

      If you search for royal gossip around that time, I bet you anything you’d find some kind of embarrassing or cruel story about 15 year old Harry.

      • Julia K says:

        True, however I am discussing William, not Harry.

      • Jan90067 says:

        Julia, she’s referring to a story put out to draw attention *from* William *onto* Harry for distraction. Like throwing fresh, red meat to the wolf pack, so to speak. As we know, Harry’s purpose in life (up until he fled with Meg) was to be William (and Charles’) whipping boy.

      • Kkat says:

        Nyro is saying they erased it and you can find when it happened because harry would have gotten smeared to cover it.

      • Julia K says:

        Sorry. I misunderstood. Thanks for clarifying.

    • Babz says:

      When the affair rumors were bubbling up, there was also talk about Will being caught on a surveillance camera, having sex with someone in a stairwell. Supposedly, that was scrubbed from the Internet almost immediately when the story emerged. There are enough stories out there that, put together, paint a pretty damning picture of his actions. I think multitudes of chickens are coming home to roost. He deserves every bit of what’s coming to him.

    The projection and hypocrisy is so blatant. I’ve always wondered how Kate got away with living with Bill and the boys in uni and no one covered this. I guess that’s why we get endless stories about Meghan being an actress.

    • swirlmamad says:

      Good point…. wouldn’t it be considered “untoward” in those circles for a young woman to be living with a group of guys? They’d be saying all types of vile things about Meghan and “her reputation” had it been her living with a bunch of male roommates in her college days. But no…. of course it is perfectly acceptable for Little Miss Katie Keen. I think the whitewashing (no pun intended) and propping up almost irritates me the most.

      • Jaded says:

        She did have the nickname “the mattress” back in the day….*scratches chin and goes HMMMMM…*

      • WithTheAmerican says:

      • WithTheAmerican says:

  36. L4Frimaire says:

    This odious man is clearly upset that his employer losing so publicly to Meghan in court was blasted all over social media and picked up by mainstream media when they tried to bury their legal “apology”. He always hashtags Meghan, and only Meghan, in his nasty tweets and he is obviously hoping to either bring harm to her, especially since this legal victory. Couldn’t handle #MeghanMarkleWon trending globally, so he decided to sh*t stir and now he’s kicked a hornet’s nest. Twitter is all petty and snark, but there is also a lot of anger and frustration out there, but a fool like Eden doesn’t see that. What’s the expression, “ don’t start none, won’t be none”.

  37. Mrs.Krabapple says:

    So #princewilliamaffair trending means Kate will be getting a new Order from the queen and/or jewelry to go with her Christmas bracelet?

  38. crazyoldlady says:

    If the royal family did not go on – if it ended with Queen Elizabeth or Charles – what would that do to the system of peerage that is in place? That would die too right? No more Ladies, Earls, Duchesses, Countesses, etc………….. what would happen to that?? Is that why the royal family has such support in certain parts of society – because those people stand to lose too?? The House of Lords allows some seats to be inherited still right??? If the royal family is no more – the peerage can’t live much longer, right???

    • Duch says:

      I think it would live on just like you have counts and barons in Germany Italy (ask Edo) and France, etc. But it would be seen (eventually) as mostly buffoonery since the titles have no legal bearing. I imagine no House of Lords for them, no official titling, etc, etc.

      Interesting also to think about what it means for granted titles that allow seating in House of Lords, as well as granted orders/honors like OBE.

    • Sofia says:

      Yeah. I imagine if the monarchy goes, so does the peerage. Of course that won’t stop them from continuing to use their titles, it just won’t have any legal meaning to it like it does now. Hence why I don’t think the monarchy will be abolished (but greatly reduce yes) because too many people want to keep the peerage system going.

    • L4Frimaire says:

      I got into an argument with a royalist friend where I basically said the UK will not be getting rid of their monarchy, ( not my business, don’t live there, not my government). However, I did ask why they couldn’t transfer it to another royal house if the Windsor’s turn out to be duds. For example, they ran out of Tudors and Stuart’s, so moved on to the Hanoverians. If things really became untenable, there are lots of descendants of Victoria out there. She didn’t like that possibility. Anyway, these aren’t elected officials, who are well protected and will continue to be. A new PR blitz will be hatched, and they’ll continue to attack the whistleblowers, while making themselves the victims of their own misdeeds.

  39. Lionel says:

    I’m not on Twitter and don’t really know how it works, so forgive the dumb question but … Twitter’s an American company. Sure it must have worldwide offices and servers and whatnot, but wouldn’t a major decision like censoring a trending phrase have to go to the highest (American) levels? Why would the Twitter execs care about protecting the BRF?

    • Mslove says:

      Exactly, why is twitter protecting the BRF, William in particular? Other commenters have pointed out that Charles affairs were reported on. This situation is very strange.

    • Sid says:

      I suspect KP pays a lot of advertising money to Twitter. I have noticed that whenever KP has some sort of event that is supposed to grab attention, it never really trends on Twitter organically. It’s always in a paid advertising slot on the sidebar. So it might be that Twitter doesn’t want to lose a paying customer.

  42. Lady Digby says:

    An affair would blow up his ideal marriage to uni sweetheart image but if it is true that he covered it up with a super injunction and then got minions throwing his SIL to the tabs as distraction and that became public in UK then his reputation is irreparable. But then Prince Charles cheated and married his mistress and he will be King. No UK newspaper will disregard a super injunction and also establishment have a vested interest in maintaining the monarchy. Only foreign newspaper and Scotland could print the story should the disgruntled PA who got iced by Kate want to spill tea, maybe like helpful Jason she has emails and texts that she didn’t delete?!

  43. ChattyCath says:

    It was the staff who called her The Mattress. He called and she was collected with an overnight bag. Not once did she disobey. How cheap! And her attitude in aristocratic circles is a joke. It’s considered very twee and middle class to expect sexual exclusiveness. She’s got the Title what more does she want?

  44. Beech says:

    It appears Twitter has yanked it. Kicking pebbles.

  45. Beech says:

    Scouring Twitter and it’s gone, sad. There are tweets here and there so in a sense Prince William is trending in it’s own way including a Tik Toker’s account of KP blocking her. Because. She said “he’s just like his father” on tiktok in 2019 when the first rose trimming came out. 🤣. Dang!

  46. Mrs.Krabapple says:

    Didn’t US Weekly essentially confirm the affair? Excerpts:

    Fortunately, the speculation turned out to be a good thing for the couple, who have been married since April 2011. “It forced her and William to sit back and examine their relationship, which they realized they should have been doing more often,” the pal tells Us.

    A second source tells Us that the future queen consort, 37, and William, 36, are “determined to pull through it and are doing a great job at getting their marriage back on track again.”

    I mean, if there was no affair, why would their marriage need to “get back on track again”?

  47. Nyro says:

    This sentiment right here is why the British establishment, including the media, are doing whatever it takes to protect William.

    And now I’m seeing that some of the more, er, fervent William fans are trying to change the hashtag to “Prince William is kind/ Prince William is a king” which is hilariously funny because not only is it likely to piss off Charles (the actual future king in waiting) but it also vividly reminded me of the mocking “Weasley is our king” song from the Harry Potter books. You know, “Weasley is our king, he always let’s the quaffle in, he cannot block a single thing” etc etc.

    • Agreatreckoning says:

      Those “fans” are something else. I saw some of the entertaining excuse making regarding the #PrinceWilliamaffair. Jealousy over Kate’s piano performance hahahahaha. That two people who tweeted about the affair were “found” to have made it up even though the BM had published stories about before the tweets. Someone claimed it couldn’t be true because they thought Kate was prettier than Rose.

      The BM constantly put Meghan, Duchess of Sussex in danger with their attacks on her. The Fail’s Ruth Style’s Straight Outta Compton article was just the beginning.

    Circling back to the “Queen is worried about William’s helicopter flights” stories a short while ago. At the time, I thought that story would be used as a cover GENERALLY to explain why William and Kate are seen living separate lives and not traveling together. But now I wonder if “the queen’s concern” was over William SPECIFICALLY using the helicopter during the Covid lockdown to visit his “special friend(s)”? As in, the queen’s message to William was that William was being reckless in his affairs (and the “helicopter” was the code word)?

    I’m on the hashtag right now (2:51pm EST) and Twitter has failed to suppress it, lol
    Also, if you go to #RoseHanbury there’s a TON of stuff there too

    • swirlmamad says:

      It’s getting wild now…just saw the following tweet:

      “The only reason we even know about #PrinceWilliamsAffair is because someone at The Sun wanted to remind Kate that she isn’t as blue blooded as her husband’s affair partner. And that’s the rub folks.”

      Damn, peeps are getting SAVAGE now….and I’m here for allllllllll of it. You reap what you sow, Keen and Mean.

    Message to Rose – do not allow the KP PR folks to convince you to walk six feet behind William and a grinning Kate on her birthday walk to and from church. It didn’t convince any one last time and it certainly won’t work this time. You looked miserable doing it. So own your truth. The world doesn’t care about your alleged affair with William, people are just fed up with the constant attack on Meghan and how her life is being endangered. If Richard Eden had stuck to the fact of this recent security breach your name would not be all over the internet today. Is this guy worth this? Him and his insecure juvenile wife?
    Take your power back Rose. Pull a Jeff Besos, own your story and tell it yourself.

  52. Red Weather Tiger says:

    “Norfolk Community Peen” was soooo good (someone posted it upthread). I also enjoyed seeing Kate called “Felicia Keys,” but yeah…she doesn’t deserve to be humiliated for his actions, biut because she helped cover for him AND blame the Sussexes, it is what it is.

  53. Margaret says:

    She knows, and yahoo are trending the affair.

    I’m bracing myself for some staffer to go to a non UK outlet and spill all. Billy if your extramarital hookups are recorded on a cell phone camcorder you’re done son.

  55. Donna B. says:

    😆😆😆😆 The Sussex Supporters are the BOMB! I’ve never seen so much “info” or “intel” coming out on Twitter about this family. People are “ratting” out old Billy Boy; confirming his affairs; and his other “outings”. Some “reporters” have taken it directly to the Cambridge’s. KP (& London Twitter) can’t shut down the whole Internet or twitter. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    • Nyro says:

      I’m someone who’s been following this stuff since Meghan came onto the scene yet even I learned some a lot today. I had no idea that Rose and her much older husband were engaged, married, and then had a baby all in a three day span! Total arranged marriage to cover for the baby’s biological dad. Amazing. You can’t tell me that if Harry, married or not, was rumored to be romantically involved with a woman who then turns up pregnant and is married barely 48 hours before the baby arrives, that it wouldn’t have been front page news. Like, are you kidding me?!

      • SwirlmamaD says:

        Whew, chile…the tea is SCALDING hot. Keep it coming!

      • February pisces says:

        I think Willie definitely fathered roses baby and organised her marriage the marquess of cholmondeley who is rumoured to be gay. He’s also twenty years older than her and never married so was probably looking for a beard and an heir anyway. For aristo men who are married and father babies illegitimately, they still want their kids to have titles, so Willie knowing his spawn would grow up titled and still inherit an estate probably helps him sleep at night.

      • Lucy says:

        And her husband lives in France most of the time. In a house he co-owns with a man who got in trouble for defrauding an elderly heiress, I think to one of the makeup companies.

        I don’t want to drag Rose into it all, honestly, but the puzzle pieces hardly ever fall in place like this. Kate firing staff, I saw a tweet that suggested Meghan told Kate she didn’t need to put up with William’s shenanigans.

        That would Explain the rage, and pure gusto they’ve dedicated to this.

      • A says:

        Okay, while the tea is scalding hot abt Rose and her children…honestly, I don’t know if I really buy it. People need to understand that Rose and her sister, and their mother, have been social climbing in a way that would put Carole Middleton to shame. Rose’s sister, Marina, also married a much older titled aristocrat, who, get this, proposed to her 3 weeks after they met…on Facebook messenger. And on top of that, Rose was dating Marina’s husband’s son, who was around the same age.

        After her daughters got married, Rose’s mother said something like, she was happy to see them marry well, i.e., marry much older men with titles. The vibe I always got from them is that they were the aristocratic version of Kate and Pippa, with an equally thirsty, social climbing mother.

        The other reason I don’t buy that Rose’s kids are William’s is that I don’t honestly think he’s ever properly been linked with her before her marriage to her husband. I got the impression from the articles I read about her going back to that time period that her and William ran in completely different circles. Rose was the hard partying type, but her family’s circle of friends just never seemed to overlap with that of William’s, outside of the fact that Rose’s grandmother participated in the Queen’s coronation. Rose and her sister always seemed to run with a more continental European set, somehow. Considering how many of William’s affairs were talked about in the tabloids, I don’t think this would have escaped anyone’s notice. Esp if it got to the point of pregnancy.

        My theory (completely without proof btw) is that Rose essentially did the aristocratic version of baby trap her much older, single, heirless husband, and he saw an opportunity to secure the future of his title, and took it, and got two sons for his troubles. They were hooking up for months before she got pregnant.

      • L4Frimaire says:

        A lot of this affair speculation is a bit ridiculous and over the top. William is a sleaze, not surprised if he has extramarital activities, but a lot of this seems like a game of Twitter telephone. However, Eden opened this Pandora’s box with his nasty tweet and it was him who wrote the original “Rural Rival” gossip blurb which was definitely about something beyond wives falling out.

    • Elle says:

      The rage is frightening, and seemingly neverending

  56. Fanciful says:

    The best part is now Bulliam and McMutton will blame this piece of crap Richard Eden for this mess. They all deserve it. I hope every time someone dumps on the sussexes unnecessarily that will happen. turn the tables.

  57. Marivic says:

    You’re all correct. The #princewilliamaffair has abruptly disappeared. From no. 3 trending in UK and US it just suddenly was erased from the list of trending topics. There’s no trace. Wow! Twitter is in cahoots with William and his rota cohorts. Twitter has touched a sensitive nerve in William and the truth hurts him much.

  58. JRenee says:

    Just wow…if this is just the tip of the iceberg, who are these women lining up to sleep with…Prince William?

  59. blunt talker says:

    When these so-called royal writers play fair then this would not happen-I heard not a one of them say anything when Charles pulled the security from the Sussexes when they were in Canada-From his own son and grandson-no one screaming at Charles not to do this-They to let me know which members of the royal family are complete angels and never does anything wrong-Meghan and Harry said it-they cover up for all other royal members except Meghan and Harry-could not correct misleading statements or events that smeared the Sussexes-I don’t give a rats ass about what they feel the Sussex family did wrong-when they never played fairly from the begining-true journalists relay all facts and let the chips fall where they may-no family should have control over what is and isnot printed-DICTATORSHIP

  60. Margaret says:

    Maybe andrews misdeeds could have been the issue, and the queen shielding him. Why is it the Sussexes?. Same old bs, different day.

  61. A says:

    What honestly bothers me the most about all of this, and I think I speak for a lot of the people who instigated this hashtag and discussion on Twitter as well, isn’t the affair rumours on its own. I don’t care what Baldy and his wife get up to. The monarchy has had much worse individuals in the direct line of succession, and largely survived to tell the tale (King Edward the VII for example). Compared to all that, Baldy’s indiscretions are admirably discreet.

    What bothers people is the way in which he, and the palace machinery at large, keep his affairs discreet. They do it by villainizing someone else, in order to cover up Baldy’s follies. That’s not okay. That is unacceptable. This has been a regrettable strategy that the royal family has adopted in the last few generations. One of the components of the strategy against Edward VIII was by presenting him as an irresponsible ladies man who had dalliances with married and divorced women in the aristocracy, and refused to settle down. They compared him to the Duke of York, the Queen’s father, who had a picturesque family in comparison to the Prince of Wales. Pitting sibling against sibling became the policy of the family at large, to protect the more “valued” individual. The Queen vs. Princess Margaret, Diana vs. Fergie, William vs. Harry. The good, responsible one, vs. the bad, irresponsible one.

    This is what’s not okay. What became especially egregious is that Meghan became the target that William used to hide his own affairs. He encouraged the dangerous racism against her in the press. He’s still doing that even now. Having an affair, not being faithful–all of that would honestly be fine, and maybe even forgiveable, if you just own up to your sh-t. But William had to make someone else look bad to make himself look good. So did Kate. When your good press is bought using lies and slander against someone who sincerely did nothing wrong, that’s just appalling in a way I can’t even describe. Nobody gives a sh-t who William sticks his community peen into. Just don’t lie about someone else to cover up the fact that you’re the community peen. That’s just terrible.

    Add to this the fact that he’s been going after the press using legal threats to get them to censor themselves and stop them from printing the facts, and that makes it even worse. What sort of a system of govt allows for an unelected representative to have this much power and say over what the press can and can’t print? And William isn’t even the monarch yet! How dare he threaten the Tatler into removing parts of the article that they wrote about Kate? How dare he try to threaten the BBC, his country’s publicly funded, PUBLIC broadcaster, into showing him a documentary so that he can go through it and remove anything objectionable? How dare he threaten people in the press and on Twitter to stay silent about his behaviour? He’s not even an elected official. He’s a glorified welfare recipient. What right does he have to go around doing these things, using taxpayer money, no less?

    For me, the last bit is the real reason why I’m so disgusted. Own your sh-t William. Say you’re the Norfolk Community Peen with a full chest, why don’t you? Esp since you don’t seem to have any issues being public about so much.

  62. Marivic says:

    @A, you are right. YouTube and majority of social media platforms are talking bad about Meghan and Harry. It’s downright disheartening how hate is encouraged and monetized. The Royal family and the British media are the instigators of this racist and hate campaign. And they’re taking it onto the global stage (US tour, partnering with global media organizations, etc ) because they know many people around the world can see through their BS and support the Sussexes. The British conspiracy led by William, with the philandering scepter, is out to burn and destroy them by hook or by crook. This has got to stop.
