Almost a year ago exactly, Prince William went to a private event at the exclusive, members-only club Oswalds in Mayfair. The trip was notable because William’s wife was not with him, and because he was seen in the company of a mystery blonde. I argued at the time that William is too much of a secret squirrel to actually bring his mistress or side-chick out in public, even in a private-yet-social setting. But I do understand that the mystery blonde was mentioned for a reason, and maybe I got it wrong! Maybe William is dumb enough to carry on an affair this way. We certainly know he’s an idiot. Speaking of, William went to the same private club last night for a charity event, and it feels notable that the Daily Mail mentioned the name of an attractive blonde aristocrat:
Prince William enjoyed a rare night out as he attended a charity event at an exclusive Mayfair private members’ club last night. The Prince of Wales was photographed leaving Oswald’s in central London after the charity event in honour of bereaved children.
Others to attend the event included the Queen’s nephew David Linley and Lady Maria Balfour.
Oswald’s is the most exclusive of London’s private members’ clubs, with the Queen Consort and Boris Johnson and his wife Carrie among those who frequent the venue.
William was without the Princess of Wales for his outing – but accompanied by this security guards. He dressed smartly in a blue suit, with a smart white shirt and dark blue tie.
Others in attendance included Prince William’s cousin, David Linley, who is Princess Margaret’s son. The Queen’s nephew, who is professionally known as David Linley, was spotted emerging from Oswald’s with a friend. The father-of-two became an eligible divorcee following the end of his 26-year marriage to Serena — the daughter of multi-millionaire landowner the 12th Earl of Harrington, Viscount Petersham — in 2020. He has two children, Charles, 22, Viscount Linley, and Lady Margarita Armstrong-Jones, who was a bridesmaid at the Prince and Princess of Wales’ wedding.
Lady Mary Balfour is an aristocrat by birth, the daughter of a count. She’s also married, from what I can see. There’s no mention of her husband in this reporting. I think the Mail is trying to give plausible deniability here, perhaps suggesting that Mary might be involved with David Linley, not William. It does feel… interesting. Two appearances at Oswalds, a year apart, with William going solo, and hanging out with blonde women. Hm.
Royal night out! Prince William is handsome in a blue suit at private member's club in Mayfair https://t.co/knzsjRls8d

Handsome in blue? 🙃 🤡 😂
This man can’t wear a suit to save his life!
At least his clothing is “smart”
LOL
@Dee, but was the tie also “smart”?? The people need to know these things.
Ok, what am I missing here? The suit looks fine to me. I don’t like William so I don’t think anything would make him look great to me, but I’m also failing to see what’s really wrong here. Does the suit really look that bad or are we in a situation where we don’t like someone to the point of their breathing getting on our nerves?
Yeah, I’m never a huge fan of how shiny his suits always appear to be, but I think this may be a “bitch eating crackers” moment for some. It actually looks better tailored than his usual suits, because he doesn’t have the typical moose knuckle going either.
@dee(2) I don’t think the shine in the blue suit is terrible in these pics but that top pic in the black?! Omg. It looks like it’s a cheap fabric that’s been pressed too many times with an overly hot iron.
The blue suit looks nice to me. He’s lanky and in good shape so I generallly think he looks good in his suits despite how loathsome he is. That black suit on top is off though.
The suit is ill-fitting and not tailored. The shoulders and pants look tight but not in a good way because the tailoring is not good. More in a “I gained weight and probably should have gone a size up” kind of way instead of a “fashion tight clothes” kind of way.
Sure Jan.
For me it’s “handsome”. I don’t think this man in handsome at all in anything so it has nothing to do with the suit, it’s just his face.
Yeah, that was quite clear from a reading comprehension aspect. The Daily Mail post said, “Prince William is handsome in a blue suit…” I mean, @Cel2495’s remark was also a clear response to that. Some are being obtuse it seems. If someone disagrees and thinks William is in fact “handsome” then just say so.
He looks better than usual in those photos though! Probably because he looks genuinely happy. He never looks like that around Kate….
Did he get highlights? He seems blonder than usual. Hmm.
He definitely looks tan as though he recently went somewhere warm & sunny. Hmmmm……
He does look better in the tux pic. Tan and maybe a little more hair? Still the clenched fists tho.
He’s always scowling around Kate. In these pics he has his eyebrows raised a lot, which gives him less of a 5 head. I do the same thing in the mirror when I’m getting ready in the morning. 😂
I’m seriously wondering if separating from Kate has anything to do with his hair growth.
He has very bad posture
Because it’s the Fail, the mention of Lady Balfour **twice** is highly suggestive. I can see Bulliam’s cousin acting as his wingman to, as Kaiser puts it, lend plausible deniability. I’m just enjoying the Wails’ pursuing their solo interests more and more openly. 😁
I felt that they said David Linley was there with a friend, he is now an eligible divorcee after separating from his wife, because they wanted to say that about William but can’t.
Technically Williams not divorced but I think they are in practise.
In May, David was dating a colleague of Christie’s Auction House, Isabelle de La Bruyere. There was an article in the Fail.
I believe Baldemort is having an affair with a blonde but I do not believe the blonde is Lady Maria Alice Jubilee Balfour Wigan who married Charles Wigan in 2006.
Jubilee? One of her names is Jubilee???? I do not understand these aristos.
They only mentioned Lady Maria once and then left readers to infer that David Linley’s “friend” was Lady Maria. So much twisting and turning – they name Linley and give us an entire biography on him – the name Lady Maria and then…silence.
The pictures of this Lady Maria person show her with her arm around some guy…
“A rare night out” seems an odd way to describe a charity event. Aren’t charity events supposed to be the RF’s “work”? Lady Balfour seems to be active in charity and seems like a decent person so hopefully that is why she is mentioned and nothing to do with PW. And, yes, PW would flaunt something in public. In 2016 when he skipped the Commonwealth Service for a guy trip, he was photographed dancing with a woman at a club.
@equality says:
“And, yes, PW would flaunt something in public. In 2016 when he skipped the Commonwealth Service for a guy trip, he was photographed dancing with a woman at a club.
Aaaaah but that was 2016….just when the britshidtrags were getting angsty about still having to coddle Bulliam and were sneakily beginning to reveal his nasty underbelly.
But THEN, who entered the royal picture? Exactly! 2016 also began the sanctification of the then-cambridges and, concurrently, the demonization of M.
I think it’s odd that she’s mentioned at all because it’s not like most people know who she is. It would stink if she was truly there just for the charity aspect but was dragged into implications that she might be seeing William. Like let her work unless there truly is more to the story.
That being said I could see William being arrogant enough to think he could hide in plain sight if he has someone else.
Well, it is the DM, they love their aristos & royals. I’m guessing maybe Maria, David, and Billy Boy were the only titled people there, hence the slavish mentioning of their names multiple times throughout the article & no one else’s.
But, but, but….. William and Kate had lunch together in a pub, in Windsor. They are a warm and loving couple. I’m dizzy from the spinning.
A nameless pub with no photos!
He really needs to upp his suit game. His clothes always look cheap & ill fitting. I’m sure Charles, who always looks quite dapper could help
Charles always looks a little unkempt and his clothes don’t seem to fit. It’s interesting that we all see something different. I think that the vile William usually looks pretty decent in his clothes and the vile Charles looks like he rolled around on the floor a couple times before he left the house/palace/castle.
Charles does have very good tailors. It isn’t until you look at full-length photos that you see Charles has the same proportions as Kate (very long torso, short legs).
I think Alexander McQueen worked as a Savile Row tailor at some point, hence being such a great cutter (unlike Burton). He did some of C’s suits and used to write swear words on the linings. Something like that.
Harry looks better in a suit…
W is not broad shouldered- unless they pad the jacket..
Judging from T shirt pics of both…
Shots of Kate in the past few mths- have her looking sad….Something is going on…
The DM is getting antsy they need dirt from somewhere, anywhere! I saw on the Crown they said they sat on the Tampon tapes for three years. I just Know they have some serious dirt on Wills. He better deliver soon.
There! The tabloids have some serious mistress inside dirt on Bullyiam that they can only share through innuendoes. The family man legend is safe, for now.
This is the happiest he’s looked in a while. While I don’t subscribe in general to the living separate lives story, the fact that he’s in London and probably spent the night at KP without Kate leaves one to wonder🤔.
I noticed something was different right away, but it took a second look to spot it. He’s smiling for a change.
“Rare night out” is how they describe all of his many nights out.
I don’t get how you hold a charity event at a members only private club. So you have to be a member of the club to attend for charity? This must be another odd British aristo thing.
Think of it like a country club in the US. Members can pay to host events like weddings or fundraisers and invite people who aren’t members to attend. But a non-member couldn’t host an event there.
Absolutely, I’ve set foot in various London members clubs for work events when I’d never be welcome in most of them otherwise!
Yeah the mention of Lady Balfour seems deliberate. The second year in a row at the same event sans Kate? It’s a deliberate inclusion.
I tried to see if she resembled the mysterious blonde from last year’s event but she looks a bit different.
I don’t think it’s about an affair. I think there’s shady deals going on at these private clubs but the Mail can’t talk about so they write about it in a weird way. Notice there’s no info about the charity involved.
Maybe they’re raising money for the Human Fund! 🤣
They are ALWAYS raising money for the Human Fund, lol
Late to the game as usual-but Lady Maria B has a daughter w type 1 diabetes so she began a charity to help young children diagnosed be support for one another. That’s why she was there this year and last…
I know he is divorced but I thought David was allegedly Gay ?..
Anyway that lady is pictured in de DM very elegantly dressed and the type Will used to.date in his earlier years , just saying.!!
David Linley is acknowledge, in many circles, to be bisexual like his father.
It truly is such a special skill-set to be able to decipher rota rat speak. I am impressed with you all, once again. It is striking how different William looks in this photo, contrasted with how miserable he and Kate both look around each other. Here is my theory: William is bisexual. I’m not saying it matters whether he is or isn’t, nor do I think he was there with his second cousin David Linley as his date, that would be ridiculous. I am saying, David and Maria are convenient covers for distracting the public away from whatever William is getting up to. We know how misogynistic the rats are. They would not hesitate to sacrifice the reputation of a woman and stir up speculation about her unfairly. But like it was with Camilla and Charles, whoever the actual AP is will be protected, and we won’t hear about him or her, just like we didn’t hear about Camilla until Diana’s book came out in 1992. Adding to my bisexual theory, if you go back and look at the photos of David Rocksavage and William greeting each other, while a clueless Kate and a humiliated looking Rose greet each other, it will jump out at you that his affair was likely with Rocksavage, not Rose. Every time I see that photo, I just want to give Rose a hug. You know these aristo men are not honest and upfront with their wives, because otherwise, I doubt any of them would agree to marry and produce heirs for them. Affairs and sexuality aside, William is becoming a monster, just like Charles and Uncle Andrew. William wouldn’t be THAT unhinged and angry at losing his scapegoats, H&M, unless he really had a lot to hide.
“David Linley, professionally known as David Linley”
Great editing, DM!
Right?! It’s so bad that it’s actually funny.
I’m laughing thinking of how, according to the Fail, he might introduce himself.
“Hello. Lovely to meet you. I’m David Linley. But in professional circles, I go by David Linley” 😂
Their tweet also states that the event was at a “private member’s club,” as if it has just one member.
I wonder who’s member it was
The charity was Child Bereavement. This event was in the court circular. William probably stayed at KP after the event.
So it would have made sense for Kate to go to this particular event, considering the nature of her “work.”
I wonder if he will make the KP apartment more man-cave and bachelor-pad-ish now that the old ball and chain is out at AC.
I assume Burger King blocked off his calendar this week to sit home and binge watch The Crown and then rage and throw things at the telly because they dared to defy his order to never show the Panorama interview again.
One thing I find interesting is that Kate and Wills were never a socialite couple with their own set. It feels like he socializes with the in crowd on his own, while Kate is never part of it.
All of Kate’s ‘friends’ are actually William’s friends. She met them through him. It’s evident she ain’t apart of that set, no matter how many times she loves to pretend she is. It strikes me that she lives a rather sad and lonely life with only her mother to meddle in. Oh well!
True. The infamous Tatler article pointed out Kate has few friends. No come back on that from KP. It’s a dangerous situation, because the less of an independent life you have in a marriage, the greater the chances are of becoming victim to your spouse’s friends supporting the bad behaviour of just one side or gaslighting you in a combined effort. She is essentially a hostage to fortune. She has her family, of course, but that’s not enough for a grown woman IMO, esp when her mother would be telling her to put up with anything bad at all costs.
Kate’s apparent friendlessness (except for that one we only see around her birthday every year) makes me really sad for her, because IDK what I’d do without my girlfriends, and I actually have a husband who doesn’t openly despise me.
Kate was so devoted to landing William that it seems like she wouldn’t allow herself to get close to anyone; she appears to (still!) automatically view other women as opponents or competitors, and I find that to be such a depressing way to go through life.
So now she “has” William, but is obviously completely miserable, and possibly has no one aside from her mother (who has her own agenda— and it’s one that is often not in Kate’s best interest) who she can confide in. Yes, Kate is a terrible person in many ways, but I still feel badly for her if in fact she doesn’t have any close girlfriends, because I’d feel sorry for *anyone* in that situation.
IMO friends are so important, and it’s a completely different type of relationship than someone has with their family members or spouse. She’s missing out on something that could have made her entire life so much richer.
It’s 100% her loss, and it’s going to make it a lot harder for her when all of the kids start leaving the house. What will she be left with? Kate SUCKS, but I can’t help but feel sorry for her when thinking about the reality of her day-to-day life. Who does she talk to besides her mother or her staff members? She can’t very well vent about William to her jewelry, and her tiaras will never be able to offer her consoling advice. But it was very clearly her choice, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@Harper, I remember a very telling article about how the household staff at KP were excited after W&K’s marriage because they were expecting lots of soirées and entertaining. But then…nothing. They had nothing to do because Bill and Keen rarely hosted anything together. It would appear that TOB always preferred to socialize separately.
Wills too lazy to host he prefers to go to other peoples parties. Plus he’s paranoid about privacy and doesn’t want to let many people into his private sanctum.
@Lux I read that article too! It felt like back in the day the Queen had private balls and birthday parties that included her family and society friends. They looked like they had fun. C-Rex has always had a social set based at Highgrove with or without Di/Camilla. Whereas Will & Kate didn’t even bother with that supposed joint 40th birthday party. How dull!
I wonder if we’ll see positive changes in Kate once she’s had space and distance from an unhappy marriage and been able to lighten some of the burden of pretense. It would be great to see her become more confident and possibly, maybe, more interested in the larger world out there. (?)
@ PEANUT BUTTER
all of that sounds nice, but k8 is a nasty mean girl pining for her sil’s husband. She needs to move on from that episode in her life. That in my opinion is her biggest problem, unrequited love.
I don’t think Kate “pines” for Harry in the least. Just his attention. If you recall, she wasn’t crazy about any of his gfs.
Keen just wants to be the Keenest in all the land, the Keenest in the room, and wants all the attention of every male in sight to give her validation of her opinion of herself.
Yes she always flirted with every man, it was nothing personal, she just wanted every man to be attracted to her. I don’t think Harry was that different from the rest, except he was a prince, and Diana’s son, so she particularly wanted him to think she was hot. It doesn’t necessarily mean that she was crazy about him.
I doubt Kate will change and it will be about her outfits and trying to be center stage like dressing up in gold gowns and hitting some piano chords at a concert
Nah. She’s worked all her life to be married to William. She’s never going to come into her own unless she divorces that man and we all know that ain’t happening.
I mean it would be great to see any evidence of her being a kind person. Unfortunately, that evidence is nonexistent or sparse, esp in regards to her sil.
@Jais, ditto to everything you said ^^
The poor sausage needed a night off from being keen about the cost of living crisis…
@Jane, I’m lmfao
So now that William has his hands on his own little fortune, do you think these aristocratic ladies that refuses to be his wife might suddenly find him an appealing prospect? And if William finds himself a willing replacement for Kate, will he want to get “amicably” divorced? Or can they legally separate and openly date?
I just feel like that now William has bagged the Wales and Cornwall titles and money, he won’t feel the need to fake a happy marriage anymore. Especially, since the Queen is dead and half his family has divorced and remarried.
With Betty gone, there is probably a roll-out scheduled for the grown apart narrative, just like the year-long roll-out for the move to Windsor. There was that recent blurb from Katie Nicholl saying that Kate was stressed and the settling in at Windsor was harder than expected. I’m wondering if there will be a Kate stepping back for her mental health story emerging. Nicholl got the stressed Kate story from somewhere, and I thought she was considered Camp Middleton.
I used to think he and Waity will divorce but now I think he needs her for PR. She’s bamboozled the public with her “never puts a foot wrong” shtick so I think William realizes he needs that shine. He saw his father and Rottweiler getting egged and doesn’t want that same fate. So I think its separate lives for the foreseeable future.
The only thing William has going for him is his “family man” shtick. Without it, he’s just like his dad.
The thing is the schtick is spread by the BM. So, if PW decides to change the narrative, the BM will. Look how they went from calling her lazy and waity to building her up and tearing Meghan down. They did the same with Diana, built her up then spread rumors about her for Charles.
He and kHate only appeals to a certain demographic in the UK, the white middle class Tory/Brexit voter types – aka the Middle Englander. With kHate most of her ‘fans’ only comment on what she’s wearing not about what she’s doing (or lack of).
He isn’t really viewed as a family man – most people don’t really pay that much attention to him TBH. Whatever ‘shine’ she has doesn’t extend to him, purely because it doesn’t even make her ‘shine’ very well.
The tide is turning against the Monarchy, as many predicted it would after QE2 passed. The current political and social turmoil has made it happen faster than anyone expected. We the plebs were not very happy to hear that these 2 were given a 4th home, if they get ‘rooms’ in the castle that is going to be a bad bad move.
I know people who don’t like the Monarchy esp Chuck but they begrudgingly respect him for the work he has done with the Princes Trust and on environmental issues. He walks the walk and people see that – these 2…
She’s always been unpopular with most people in Britain. She had Fans after the wedding but that was mostly Americans and people from other countries, who hadn’t heard much about her before then.
In the uk she’s always been lazy flashing stalker Waity Katie.
It’s not so much that william needs her to make him look good – she’s always made him look bad by refusing to work. It’s that they think a divorce will cause a big scandal like with the last generation, and make him look worse.
I think Peggy has already found himself a replacement – the alleged Russian lawyer/businesswoman is already far more accomplished that Mutton and is more like Meghan (in terms of career, life etc..).
The closer he gets to the throne the more he will feel the need to compete with his brother – this is bad for kHate as she ain’t gonna cut it. I still think he will divorce her, it’s beyond obvious that are living very separate lives.
Her new ‘boldness’ comes from the new titles, money and perceived power (esp within the family hierarchy) and I think that its also a sign that she and Ma are prepared to fight to keep the marriage intact.
Who is this Russian lawyer/businesswoman? Please share!
Nancy, you are me from once upon a time. I had to ask who these women were! I think it was Becks1, Nic, Jaded who told me. Apparently, she is a blonde woman who looks much like one of his ex girlfriends, but isn’t. A very high flying city lawyer. It’s been going on for a long time. And that she has been photo’d with William inside cars on the way back from clubs, but then mysteriously photoshopped out. I’m not sure if she’s the peggington one. Please help, someone, if I’ve got this wrong!
I think the Russian lawyer/businesswoman is the one who very much resembles Jecca Craig.
Svetlana Ignatieva, chief operating officer of flora and fauna international which William is patron of.
To add to what sparrow said, information about this blonde lawyer or banker from London started to pop up when the Rose story was spread because more than one person said in general terms… I saw William with a woman in London, but it wasn’t Rose , or “I heard about another woman but not this Rose person”.
So maybe it’s two women that people are confusing, or maybe he’s like his father who was not only with Camilla, but also Kanga and another one whose name I forget.
@Nic919 – She was Eva Maria O’Neill and is the mother of Christopher O’Neill. Christopher O’Neill is married to Princess Madeleine of Sweden, Duchess of Hälsingland and Gästrikland.
It is also widely accepted that Charles had a “ding-dong” with the TV host Selina Scott in the late 1908s-early 1990s.
Ok, you amazing women–you provided the goods. And when I googled this name, guess what came up? https://www.celebitchy.com/767480/there_are_random_european_tabloid_reports_about_a_cambridge_separation/
Not sure how I even missed this. Of course Kaiser was all over it!
Hmmm I wonder if this is the same event as last year when he was papped with a mysterious blonde who was later outed on twitter as being the Russian businesswoman he has allegedly been pegging with for some time.
Same event but the mysterious blonde woman looks a bit different from Balfour.
“Prince William is handsome…” It’s the desperation on the part of the DM and W to sell him as handsome that’s so amusing to me. I guess this is part of the pre-Earths!t marketing but also a long-term strategy to make him more desirable now that the comb over has taken up official residence on his scalp.
That tie doesn’t work with the suit. He needs to ask Bill Nighy about suits. Although, let’s face it, a bad suit is the least of his problems.
I know he is divorced but I thought David was Gay ?..
Anyway that lady is pictured in de DM very like the type Will used to.date in his earlier years , just saying.!!
William always looks as if he believes he is the smartest man in the room and his words are scientific instructions on how to fight cancer.
lady Mary Balfour sister kinvara doesn’t believe in male primogeniture. That could make for some interesting dinner conversations! Though maybe they’re not doing much of dinner conversations..
Why is William’s tux so weirdly shiny? Is it made of a silk faille?
It’s just bloody weird to caption a photo of the 40 year old heir to the throne as “handsome in a blue suit”. It’s not like he was in top hat and tails. Even so, the stroking of something is going on.
Maybe I’m being overly cynical and yes, I would not think twice if it was Kate and they remarked she looked beautiful in a whatever she had on. We expect that sort of superficiality over the women’s clothing.
Williams never done any real work. But he used to be super popular for his looks, so they cling onto that as something they can complement him for.
He’s never given them anything else to work with.
Kate is still not getting respect from the Ariosto’s and she never will. Although this is a miserable experience but because Kate was nasty to Meghan I don’t feel sorry for her.
How to do you know that? I don’t believe Kate is trying to befriend them since she doesn’t seem like a girl identified kind of person.
Kate made the fatal error of thinking her position outranks an aristocratic heritage. It doesn’t. She’s from a middle-class family who somehow made themselves rich (Uncle Hookers-n-Blow) and pushed their very middle-class daughter up the ladder to bag the FK. The aristos still look down on her as a parvenu and arriviste no matter how many titles she has, and have circled their wagons against her. She had 10 years to figure out what she was getting into before marrying William, and has had 10 more years as his wife and member of the BRF to make something of herself with the massive opportunities she’s been handed. The only reason I feel sorry for her is that she’s clearly unequipped and unable to deal with the responsibilities and pressures of her role and has succumbed to eating disorders to cope.
Kate did not want to work. She never had a career pre marriage and had one part time job for less than a year. I don’t feel sorry for her especially the way she acted towards Meghan. Will is not fond of work so she enables him.
Kate burned all her bridges with the aristocratic set when she tried to ostracize Rose Hansbury whose family is firmly established in those circles. IMO. She has been firmly reminded that she may the the future Queen but in those circles you keep quiet when your husband has a mistress. The same was true with Charles’s friends back in the day. Even though Diana came from a long well established aristocratic family. Her objection to Camilla was viewed negatively. Camilla was well established in Charles’s circle. Also. IMO. The Fail isn’t trying to expose William. Instead they are aiding him in establishing himself as a solo act. Also. I think we’ll be seeing more of David Linley. It was reported a while back that Charles wanted him to take over his charitable projects once he became King. He will be an unofficial working royal IMO.
I mean, she wasn’t reminded that she had to keep quiet when her husband has a mistress. She was painfully and embarrassingly reminded that, as a middle-class peasant, she doesn’t have the PEDIGREE or the class status required to square off against the aristocratic mistress, and win.
Imagine being told that by a group of snotty, inbred weirdos, and still desperately wanting to find your way into their group to the extent that you’ll openly behave like a racist f-ckhead to score yourself some points, and that’s still not enough for them to stop calling your mom Hyacinth Bucket and say you’re all Not Quite Our Class, Darling, or for your husband to be nice to you beyond the most perfunctory gestures.
Diana’s objection to Camilla was not viewed negatively, as much as it was viewed as baffling. Diana was expected, as the daughter of an aristocrat, to inherently understand that this is how things were done, and no one could figure out why she objected to anything if she was familiar with this and presumably supposed to accept it. And there was no love lost for Camilla. There was only the idea that welp, she was the mistress, so whatever.
Charles didn’t want Linley/Snowdon to take over the projects. William refused to take over The Prince (of Wales) Trust, Dumfries House, etc. so Charles *had* to find someone else. He moved a bunch of things under a new umbrella and put David in as a high-ranking officer.
@notasugarhere – I think David Linley/Snowdon will do an excellent job with The Prince (of Wales) Trust, Dumfries House, etc. I think it is wonderful that Baldemort Peggington was not interested and therefore will not be associated with The Prince (of Wales) Trust, Dumfries House, etc.
David Linley was in Epstein’s black book, so any rise in prominence on his part could come with a heaping side of scandal.
I remember seeing Simon Case name in Epstein book too.
We are making way too much out of this, we Americans. The club likely is an affiliate with the international rose test gardens. POW was merely giving a lecture on modern day rose trimming practices to the bourgeoisie. Nothing to see here folks. Very much not an adulterous husband.
😁
@Nicegirl – Excellent post! Could not have worded it better myself.
Thanks everybody like 😂 and 💕
This idiot, amirite 🤦♀️
You got love the daily mail constantly hypocrite William rare night out this man went missing for 18 days last month. How is this a rare night out William and Kate are constantly gone for the public eye for weeks at time with no explanation what so ever for the press to act like William is just so busy .
I think it’s no coincidence that William always goes alone to this event and some others. I think it’s Kate boycotting folks who either snubbed her in the past or who help W with his sidebits. This is probably the loudest proclamation of marital discord we will see from Kate.
I think he doesn’t want her at this event, as she’s not generally welcome at Tusk events, the Diana unveiling, etc. When William wants her around, she rushes to attend – but he’s the one who decides whether or not she’s allowed at the event. Not does he want her (or the Club staff) getting the idea she’s allowed to horn in on his Club time.
I dont know if William would be so obvious as to ban Kate from Jecca’s events. (TUSK). I do believe Kate is mad at W’s little trip to Spain with J. But who knows what goes on. Clearly Rose is the one who caused the biggest threat/fight…since they actually moved away from her.
Rose was a problem for Kate because the toffs sided with Rose. It wasn’t the cheating, it was that Kate didn’t get to be Queen of the Toffs. I’m still thinking this Windsor move was a precursor to separation/divorce, to get Kate off his back and back to her mummy.
He has banned Kate from Tusk events previously. He went on a hunting trip with Jecca to Spain, Midds responded with a public papping of Kate taking George to Mustique at the same time. He scheduled the NYC and DC trip while she was pregnant the second time and claiming to be too sick to work. Oopsie, she’ll rally to play with celebs in NYC but he still banned her from his side trip to DC for Jecca. He missed their daughter’s first Easter to go to Jecca’s wedding reception. The Midds responded with a public pap stroll with the kids at Easter church. Their go-to pap, Tanna, called Jecca ‘William’s Camilla’. The Midds know Jecca is a big issue, and William has no problem choosing Jecca over Kate and the fam. They can protest all they want, he’ll keep picking Jecca (and whomever else he wants) whenever he wants.
“The Prince of Wales, seen without his wife Kate Middleton…” lol!! They’re still calling her Kate, she must be furious!
Anyhow, this is extremely sketchy, especially as it comes out this week, with the Crown and everything….
There are no Counts in the British peerage. Her father is an Earl.
Are there a lot of earls?
I wonder, because when the Rose rumours first started, someone on twitter attributed it to “the daughter of an earl.” And here we are again with a sketchy earl’s daughter.
There’s 191 according to Debretts.
IMO Charles and William, both wealthy, should be fitted for new suits. Charles wears the same grey suit unless he has several. He habitually keeps his hand in the jacket pocket, which results in fabric stretching. Men, unlike women, can wear the same outfit; changing the tie can create a different look. William is forty years old. Must he dress like an elder? Are they not permitted to wear a patterned tie? Harry wore the same blue or grey suit and occasionally the black one to special events as a working royal. The last time he wore a black suit, it was Dior which fitted him perfectly and looked as stunning as his wife. Clothes make the woman; they also make the man. Most women want their men to look as good as she does. British media spend so much time fawning over what the women wear and the value of the outfit from head to toe I suppose the men see no need to look exceptional.
Is it just me, or is anyone else confused on why a member of the royal family, the Prince of Wales no less, the next monarch, is attending a “charity event” at a “private, exclusive member’s-only club”? Like? Shouldn’t the charitable endeavours of the royal family be 100% out in the open, considering these people live tax payer funded lifestyles, and since William, as the next monarch, is going to be the constitutional head of state, an UNELECTED ONE at that?
Where is the accountability? Who knows wtf he got up to in that event? Does anyone know what this event was even for? Was this information published? Will it be published in the court circular? What was the money being raised for? What charity was being helped? Whey all the secrecy and the lies?
As his father so eloquently put it, “I will not be the first Prince of Wales to not have a mistress.”
My God, I think he’s re-growing his hair. He looks almost . . . handsome. Is it the injection of all the Duchy money or the ejection of Princess Kate in his life that has wrought this miracle? Soon, he will almost be f-ckable!
Almost. Almost . This is a joke, right?
🤢🤮
Looking at these pics I am starting to see Hugh Laurie as the Prince Regent in Season 3 of Blackadder, instead of William future king. lol
Hugh Laurie played an extremely funny idiotic, stupid, vain Prince Regent.
Honestly, I see this in William more and more.
The top suit(to me) looks a bit small with sleeves too short. Does he have kinda bad posture?
