Prince William will feel ‘enormously satisfied’ when he removes the Sussexes’ titles

Whenever the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have traveled to another country, the Windsors immediately try to impose their talking points on Harry and Meghan. Many royal reporters talk about it openly at this point, that the palace WhatsApp lights up with “reactions” to the Sussexes doing this or that. Additionally, Prince William inevitably throws a huge tantrum, usually along the lines “when William is king, he’s going to take away their titles and order them to never travel or do philanthropic work ever again!!” A few weeks ago, the Sussexes were in Jordan, and I kept track of all of the royal panic attacks over their trip. What was interesting is that Buckingham Palace seemingly didn’t bother to talk about the Jordanian visit, probably because William was so clearly having a week-long spiral about it. Well, guess who is STILL furious?

The royal family was caught off guard by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s recent trip to Jordan, according to sources, who say it’s especially triggering for Prince William to see his sister-in-law, 44, shamelessly copying Princess Diana.

During their two-day tour, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex — whose office said that members of the monarchy were informed of their travel plans, per People — met with Syrian refugees and medical evacuees from Gaza, and visited the King Hussein Cancer Centre in Amman.

“William doesn’t buy that [Meghan’s] sincere in any of this,” a source tells In Touch. “In his view, this whole Diana 2.0 act is all about boosting her image and ultimately her bank account. It sickens him that his brother would encourage this. What’s even worse in his view is that she’s clearly trying to get a leg up by doing this so-called humanitarian tour while the family is in the midst of the worst crisis in modern history,” the source says of the scandal surrounding Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.

Another thing that “enrages” William, 43, is that the Sussexes are “being allowed to trade off royal status and badmouth the institution at the same time,” adds the source.

As In Touch previously reported, King Charles III might be happy to put up with Harry, 41, and Meghan using their ‘HRH’ titles despite no longer being working members of the royal family, but his heir isn’t. William “can’t wait to put a stop to it the moment he becomes king,” reveals the source. “He’s adamant that his first order of business will be to strip them of their titles and says it’s going to be enormously satisfying for him when he’s finally able to accomplish what his father is refusing to do.”

[From In Touch Weekly]

I know it’s In Touch, blah blah blah, but it sounds exactly like what William’s allies brief to the Daily Mail, Times and Telegraph. I also believe that William has been rocking and rage-crying in a corner for years and promising himself that it will feel so, so good to “punish” the Sussexes once he’s Scooter King. In fact, I absolutely believe “punishing Harry & Meghan” is the only reason why William even wants to be king. As for the whining about “Diana 2.0” – all Meghan did was spend time with refugees, addicts, kids and people with devastating injuries. She wasn’t trying to be Diana. Meghan was just… herself. Her compassionate, empathetic self. The Sussexes made the visit to Jordan alongside WHO’s senior staff and they did so because they had already donated $500K to the programs they visited. AND their trip brought in more donations.

  1. Jes says:

    I just cannot understand how his face got this way.

  2. Jais says:

    You know what? William needs to shut his mouth about whether a WOC comes across as sincere or not.

  3. Me at home says:

    What a nasty, horrible article. From Jason’s mouth to InTouch’s pages–the mag should be ashamed.

    Just because William and Kate hate their jobs doesn’t mean everyone does. Meghan has years of philanthropic work behind her, starting when she was a teenager and way before she married in.

  4. Teddy says:

    Poor Bill. It’s going to eat a new hole in his soul when he removes the titles (if he indeed can) and Harry is still charismatic, H&M are still happy, thriving, and madly in love, and they are still rock-star famous.

    • windyriver says:

      Absolutely. There’s also a bit of irony in a member of the RF accusing someone of boosting their bank account via overseas trips; though on the other hand, they would be the ones to know…

    • Ciotog says:

      To paraphrase a speech I once heard, the Sussexes don’t need titles to share their special brand of magic.

  5. Hypocrisy says:

    Good luck removing those titles when they can’t even seem to remove Andy’s… willy continually sounds like he has the emotional maturity of a toddler and it isn’t a good look for a grown *ss adult. People are booing him and calling him and the left overs “Parasites” and he’s still raging on about the Sussex’s, it’s just bizarre how he just continues this self destructive behavior.

    • sunniside up says:

      If Harry refuses to just give them up then it will have to go through Parliament. can’t see the politicians wanting to give it parliamentary time, what a waste when there are serious problems to be sorted. Of course if the titles are removed for no particular reason then William is going to be accused of being a racist and he won’t like that. Or is he so angry he doesn’t care.

    • Dee(2) says:

      Yeah it’ll be interesting to see the person that stands up in Parliament to argue that Harry, Meghan, and their children ( included one that has been to the UK one time), who have been accused of zero crimes and don’t have any taxpayer funding are equally deserving of losing their titles as Andrew.

      As for William, he’ll never be satisfied. He thought he was going to be satisfied running them out the country, he thought that he was going to be satisfied preventing them from having security, he thought he was going to be satisfied by engineering the loss of one of Harry’s charities. At some point he’s going to realize that the hole that’s in his soul will not be filled by his vendetta against his brother, and his brothers family.

      • Lady D says:

        I doubt he will ever come to that realization. He’s going to spend his life trying to come up with a suitable punishment for his brother, and fail every time.

      • Adventure says:

        Dee(2) This is such a great comment. Thank you for articulating exactly what I was thinking. Thank you for your thoughtful response. It really made my day.

  6. Amy Bee says:

    I have no doubt that the source for this unhinged piece is somebody from the British press. It kind of sounds like Richard Eden.

  7. SIde Eye says:

    He needs to read the room and for some reason he can’t. Stop talking. Just stop. Your uncle is a known pedo protected for decades by your institution. The support for the monarchy is at all time low. You yourself generate low interest, low engagement, and are described as work shy. The peasants and the proletariat have had it with whiny billionaires and their pissing contests and petty, wholly manufactured problems. People cannot keep their lights on. Children are hungry. And WW3 is raging – it is now a conflict involving more than a dozen countries.

    Seriously STFU about how mad you are that you brother exposed you for the bully you are. GROW UP – you are an entitled petulant brat, always have been. There’s a video of you throwing a tantrum cause Princess Diana is telling you Harry is going to get something that you won’t and you’re falling out screaming like a psycho, and even for a toddler who missed his nap the tantrum is disturbing levels of jealousy, rage, and pettiness towards your own brother. This is why your mother said you were not suited to be King. She was right.

    You are behaving the same way now. STOP. TALKING. You want to have the impact your brother has on the world try developing an ounce of real empathy. Try working. Try acknowledging how incredibly privileged you are and SHOW UP FOR WORK.

    • Becks1 says:

      *standing ovation*

      YES. He just needs to stop. Its like what we were talking about yesterday with Omid’s comment about how its a bad look for the future king – this doesn’t make William look strong or like a leader. It makes him look like a petulant spoiled brat who spends his days obsessing over his happy and healthy brother and doesn’t care about anything else.

    • Nic919 says:

      The Parliament has to remove the titles so even saying William can decide this is dumb. But also the UK government has real issues to deal with including a war.

      Billy needs therapy more than anything else.

  8. MSS says:

    I know that they don’t understand, but it’s kind of concerning how people who put out these kinds of articles don’t get that this doesn’t make William look good or strong, it makes him look sad and pathetic. They’re basically admitting at this point that William only wants to do that purely out of spite, not because Meghan and Harry have objectively done anything wrong.

    • Lamb Chop says:

      Oh I disagree, they know. But willileaks keeps putting out these stories which he WANTS printed, so they’re printed.

      It’s 💯 emperors new clothes. Everyone knows but no one is willing to say.

    • Becks1 says:

      Yes, you and @SideEye above you really nailed this. this makes him look so so bad. He clearly doesn’t realize it, but it does.

      Also, in this current climate where Andrew is living on the king’s property and is still HRH Prince Andrew Duke of York (even if he’s not officially using those titles) – someone in william’s camp (or William himself) decided now was a good time to go on another rage briefing about HARRY’S title!?!?!

    • Nic919 says:

      The stories about Kate’s feet got removed so it’s clear William is just fine with this stuff. He could easily put out something saying he’s not going to remove titles from his brother, but he wants this out there to feed the racists.

  9. Lamb Chop says:

    I love this article for his crisis manager.

    Imagine dealing with a raging moron who doesn’t even know his kinglyness won’t let him strip titles, or bully a woc any more than he’s done for 8 years?

    How absolutely pathetic and impotent is raging Willy. I love all of this for impotent Will. Cry harder in Jason’s lap you pathetic worm.

    • Gabby says:

      Ah yes, the crisis manager. Where IS she?

      She needs some kind of Cesar Milan for distracted princes, and force him to focus. Like maybe fix those decrepit duchy properties and do right by his tenants.

      • Lamb Chop says:

        The obvious issue with willy and Kate especially is the work done by pr people, comms, crisis managers or whatever role, are approved by them (willy-nilly really). He refuses to get out of his own way (future king dontcha know!). How do you explain any common sense strategy to a narcissistic raging pustulent boil on baldy backside? That’s why professionals leave.

      • Gabby says:

        I’m dying at “pustulent boil on baldy backside”. Thank you for that.

  10. No Peg will not be “enormously satisfied when he takes Harry’s title”. The goalpost will move and he will be incandescent with rage that Harry still exists. Peg the jealous does not see how unhinged that this makes him look! Grow up Peg and get some therapy!!

    • Teagirl says:

      Exactly. Even if he were able to have the titles removed (he can’t, it needs Parliament) it would not fill the terrible hole in his soul. He’ll hate Harry just as much. While Harry & Meghan exist and are happy, William will rage. If H&M aren’t there, his corrosive malice will be transferred to A&L. It’s truly frightening.

  11. Shiela Kerr says:

    Titles does not make you charismatic, empathetic or authentic. Leaving the toxicity of Harry’s birth family has not changed their values and losing titles will not. The Sussexes are change makers and will continue to leverage their names to assist those where they can. What they bring to a table is not just the title but their charisma, philanthropy, empathy and authenticity.

  12. Jan says:

    By now most people know that Cain cannot take away tittles, only Parliament can do that.
    Pedo Andy was bribe to give up his.j)

    • Jais says:

      But can’t he take the hrh titles by just writing a LP? The ducal ones need parliament.

      • Becks1 says:

        He can take away HRH (and maybe even the Prince) by writing a LP. but again – that hasn’t been done for Andrew so its hard to justify it for Harry. I mean William won’t care, but some of the people at the palace who are watching the protests and online chatter about this might care.

      • Lamb Chop says:

        As far as I know, the hrh is a style. He can’t take the sussex titles, which seems to be the burr in his arse. So Harry goes from Prince Harry, DOS. To Harry, DOS. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️. I doubt Harry himself would care at this point. At one stage he fought for his children’s rights. But sadly willy-nilly will be king sooner than imagined. He knows his brother is a narcissistic psychopath and how things will end. Im sure he’s fine with all of that.

      • Jais says:

        But didn’t Charles actually write an LP stripping Andrew of his hrh Prince styling? Or am I wrong on that? Thank y’all bc I’m constantly trying to understand. The Sussex titles are what need parliament.

      • Mayp says:

        @jais, yes, it was presented in the press that Charles issued Letters Patent removing Andrew’s HRH styling and princely title. But this didn’t happen for a week or two after it was announced that Andrew was no longer a Prince.

      • Jais says:

        Okay, that’s what I thought. So he did eventually write the LP. I’ve got this conversation going on in the other thread about the York sisters with @mad. But basically, here’s the thing. William will not go through parliament so Harry and Meghan will always be the duke and Duchess of Sussex and Archie can inherit that, not Lili. But as soon as William is king, he can easily write an LP and remove the hrh prince/princess stylings from Harry, Archie, Lili, Beatrice and Eugenie. That means that all of them will be known as just Archie or just Lili or just Harry. The duke/duchess titles, bc that needs parliament, will remain for the Sussexes but that will be it. When William is talking about taking titles in the press it’s really about stylings. And he seems keen to do it. And I think Harry and Meghan are aware that will happen. And again, I’ve possibly gotten it wrong but I’m pretty sure that’s right?

      • Becks1 says:

        @Mayp yes you’re right!! I had completely forgotten about that. Clearly done after people realized uhhh he’s still HRH prince. But Charles did actually do it (which probably stung when he was arrested as Mr. Mountbatten-Windsor, haha.)

      • Becks1 says:

        @Jais no, that’s right. We’ve been talking about it for years lol. william can remove the HRH prince/ss styling via letters patent. He cannot remove the dukedom without parliament.

        Honestly, I think it would fail in parliament but I think he’ll try.

  13. line says:

    I believe it is truly not useful to republish this type of article, as it is a very old matter—an overused narrative that keeps repeating itself in a loop. William and his friends are foolish and racist.

    Removing the title of the Sussexes would also mean removing Andrew’s title, who is literally a pedophile, as well as the titles of the York daughters. It would also lead the public to demand the removal of the titles of all those who are not active members of the family and, by a ripple effect, even those of Charlotte and Louis, since they are regarded merely as spares.

    It would also mean the end of the Middletons’ hopes of receiving titles.

    • sunniside up says:

      I would be very surprised if the Middletons do expect titles, they have been around long enough to know that the parents of married ins don’t get them. There is no precedence that I have heard of. Of course, in the past the RF would never have accepted Kate, a commoner. It would have had to be a morganatic marriage, with no titles for the wife and children, and no inheritance of position. As was in the case of George IV

    • Chrissy says:

      He’s never been known to think things through, has he? His rage and impulsivity seems to be his default and as someone in his mid-forties with his platform, why is no one around him telling him how this lunacy is being perceived by the public?

  14. Anne-Marie says:

    It takes Parliament to remove titles, don’t imagine Willy having a hissy fit will warrant this. Remember when tabloids announced that they would lose all value if they didn’t attend the Coronation Meghan didn’t attend and their life continues successfully

  15. aquarius64 says:

    On what grounds would William take thr Sussex titles? I don’t think I was exposed to be a bigoted jackass would hold up in court. Unc Andy is getting removed from the line of sucession because UK national security may have been compromised. And doesn’t Parliament take titles?

  16. Rai says:

    One day, someone will explain to me how stripping the titles impacts their lives. Or improves the BRF standings and reputation. It’s not even strategic. These people are not the best and brightest.

  17. Eurydice says:

    William, dude, “the worst crisis in modern history” is self-inflicted. Whether H&M have titles or not, whether they travel or not, it won’t change the mess your family has made.

    But really, where is the crisis manager in all of this? William has been spiraling ever since Charles and Kate were diagnosed. He’s a mental and physical wreck.

  18. Emma says:

    And then what, William?

    You’ll still be you. They’ll still be them: rich, happy, free (in fact, probably freer). The titles aren’t what makes them, they make themselves. You need only look to your wife, holder of an inconic title, to realise it was the person who made it so, not the title.

  19. Sue says:

    What a sad, miserable life it must be to live with such spite.

  20. sunniside up says:

    According to this story William is a nasty vindictive person. Not the making of a soft diplomat.

  21. Chaine says:

    Why is he such a horrible person??? What is wrong with “copying” Princess Diana, if that imitation takes the form of doing charitable and humanitarian work to make the world better for women and children and refugees??? Shouldn’t we all be copying, then?

    • Elly says:

      Yes, you’d think he would be proud to have anyone emulating his mother.

    • Beverley says:

      Peg undoubtedly feels like his wife should be the only one who’s compared to Diana. He’s probably embarrassed and frustrated that Keen is wholly incapable of living up to his mother’s legacy.

  22. DianeS says:

    How petty and sad.

  23. lanne says:

    No, he won’t feel satisfied. He will be the literal King of England and he’ll never be satisfied. The only thing that seems to give him any sense of meaning in his life, the only passion he’s ever shown about anything, is his hatred of his brother. Until he takes every single thing his brother has and stomps on it, destroys every relationship, tarnishes every achievement, he’ll never be happy. And even then, he’ll have the mad glee in the destruction, but then he’ll be left with bitter dissastisfaction. What’s next to break and destroy? He’ll never, ever be truly satisfied. He’s addicted to his hatred and his animus, but the only people he can really destroy are the people around him. That’s why I feel so sorry for his wife and kids at the end of the day. I’m no fan of his wife, but I don’t think she’s evil. I think she’s a petty, foolish, stupid woman who got exactly what she wished for and realized she’s married to a man who hates her (and likely hates everybody but himself). If William is even half of what he himself allows his team to advertise him to be–a selfish boor who refuses to work, feels entitled to public adulation because of who he is, feels incandescent rage toward his brother because his brother chose to live his own life outside the toxic petri dish of royal existence–he has to be deeply unpleasant to be around. This is someone who never has to regulate his own emotions, but everyone else has to regulate their around him. Imagine the worst tyrant father bellowing for his dinner at the end of the day, taking the biggest portion, refusing to clean up afterward, snapping at the kids to shut up at dinner–and then think of that person with an entire coterie of yes men around him catering to his every whim and agreeing with his every flawed opinion. Yikes for anyone having to live with someone like that.

    He has an entire media bound to him to make him look good and this is what they offer? He’s obsessed with taking titles from his brother? Not cleaning up the environment or homelessness or whatever cause he’s cosplaying? Not even making things right with his tenants on the Duchy of Cornwall lands? Not even his kids sports games? Or his vision for a new monarchy? Just “I hate the Sussexes?”

    • Eurydice says:

      Spot on. This is how he chooses to show strength, resolve and leadership?

      If he wasn’t PoW, he’d be raging in “the divorce came out of the blue” sub Reddit. And with the way the monarchy is going, that surprise “divorce” might come in a different way.

  24. GMHQ says:

    Scooter is at it again. Playing dress up king and asserting powers he does not have and won’t even have when he becomes king. He will be able to remove the HRH only, which is a style, not a title. Harry will be a prince as it is his birthright and a duke unless the parliament and the realms say otherwise. And all of this sniping is doing more damage to the monarchy, which already is under assault. Smart move, Willy!

  25. Tuesday says:

    He’s just mad because when Kate copies Diana, it’s only her clothes and jewelry and not her compassion, work ethic, or anything substantial. 🤷🏾‍♀️

  26. Harla says:

    “William doesn’t buy that [Meghan’s] sincere in any of this,” a source tells In Touch. “In his view, this whole Diana 2.0 act is all about boosting her image and ultimately her bank account. It sickens him that his brother would encourage this.” This is pretty rich coming from a man whose wife is regularly encouraged by aides to dress like Diana in order to get good press coverage. As has been said many times before, William really needs help.

  27. Blujfly says:

    William should spend a tenth of this energy on figuring out what he is going to do with his own spares and/or Louise and her brother. Peter Hunt pointed out after the “Sandringham summit” that the royals had allowed a golden opportunity to figure out a role for such people going forward. What is he going to do when the papers have a go at Charlotte or Louis when they get a job? (If the get a job?) who will be paying for the lavish vacations if they want to vacation the same way their mother did from 2006-2009? Kate once went to a Mustique twice in a month. Etc etc.

  28. Jay says:

    William “can’t wait to put a stop to it the moment he becomes king,” reveals the source.

    Put a stop to…his brother and his brother’s wife traveling outside of California? Put a stop to their independent humanitarian work? Put a stop to them being welcomed by notable world leaders and even the British embassy? How, exactly? None of these activities will be affected by the Sussexees’ titles ( or lack thereof).

    Another commenter last week (sorry, I can’t recall who) compared William’s actions to those of King Cnut trying to stop the tide, although I gather in that example the point of the story is supposed to illustrate the monarch’s humility and acceptance that he cannot control everything.

    I suppose for King William, the updated fable would involve him scootering over to the seashore and screaming incandescently at the tides to STOP RIGHT NOW until he is taken out to sea by the merciless waves.

  29. FancyPants says:

    He can try if he wants, but he is failing to look down the road and see that we might figure out that if we can remove any of their titles then we can remove ALL of their titles.

  30. FrenchJuliet says:

    I now realize that one BIG factor in the YEARS of abuse of H&M, especially Meghan , by the British Media, is the pathological character of William. His hatred towards Meghan is NOT normal. And since he is the heir and members of the Rota want to be in his good graces, all those Rota sycophants happily pile on Meghan. Nobody dares exert some restraint or offer balanced reporting.

    Yes, William looks absolutely pathetic with his obsession. But I confess being concerned. When he becomes King, he will have some power and especially power on the media to continue, amplify the abuse towards Meghan and towards his brother.

    I want King Charles to live as long as possible, so more and more people see the true nature of William before he becomes King. The more people realize William is unhinged, the less they’ll support anything he says or want… And the more they’ll look back at Harry’s version of things.

    Gosh I would really want for some seriously embarrassing things to come out about William, those things that « would make our nozes bleed»… , so his credibility and his « holier-than-you » attitude are crushed, for good. And his ability to do harm to good people is crushed with it.

    Come on Camilla… just this once, I will support your dirty games…

    • Graphinya Heather says:

      He hates Meghan, but he hates Harry more. As William’s looks began their decline, Harry was growing into his, and he got more attention.

      William did that whole air rescue thing part time, but Harry went to war.

      William goes to engagements and people have to get bussed in, people flock to Harry.

      William knows he has lost whatever rizz he may have had at one time (dependent, I believe, entirely on his hairline lol) while Harry’s is always growing (and is unrelated to his hairline).

      That’s not how it is supposed to be. Harry is supposed to come second in everything. Harry is supposed to stay in the shadows and do the grunt work so William can shine, but even when Harry was doing that, he got the attention. Invictus got Harry so many more accolades world wide than Earthshot will ever get William.

      And then Harry escaped. Proving he didn’t need the framework and machinations of the Firm to get anywhere, get attention, be successful.

      And that is just cognitive dissonance to the hairless heir. So in William’s mind, Harry has to if he won’t follow The Plan. Meghan coming into the picture and not being impressed by the trappings of the monarchy gave William just the excuse he needed. It’s a two for one for William.

  31. Moniquep says:

    For some time now I have been having this vision of William in a padded cell, curled up in the fetal position and sucking on his thumb. I really believe that if he ends up taking Harry’s titles and he finally sees that it had no effect on the Sussexes life and continued success, rather than giving him satisfaction, it will be the catalyst that sends him over the edge into real insanity. If I’m not mistaken, mental issues run in that family. William is dragging himself there, without anyone’s help.

  32. Elly says:

    William and Kate are actually more deserving of having their titles removed than Harry and Meghan.

  33. Nuks says:

    So you can’t wait until your father dies so that you can punish your brother. That’s your message? And your poisonous jealousy of your brother is more important than the pedophilia of your uncle. And you want to remind everyone about the concept of removing titles.

    Can no one get through to this guy how dangerous his messaging is? To himself?

    • lanne says:

      He’s not even a (somewhat) noble character like Othello, but he’s surrounded by Iagos pouring venom in his ear for their own reasons with the Grey Men. And they’re surrounded by Aarons from Titus Andronicus of the British media (Shakespeare’s worst play–Aaron is such a comically awful villian that he digs up the corpses of dead relatives to prop on the doorsteps of his enemies just for giggles). He’s surrounded by enablers of his worst impulses, each with terrible, selfish agendas of their own. It’s a witches caldron of toxicity bubbling and boiling in the British royal family.

  34. QuiteContrary says:

    “it’s especially triggering for Prince William to see his sister-in-law, 44, shamelessly copying Princess Diana.”

    What DOESN’T trigger William? It would be a shorter list.

    Still, it takes a special kind of incandescent and clueless to assert that Meghan is insincere and merely copying Diana. She was a United Nations Women advocate in 2015 and in 2017, she wrote an essay on period shaming based on her experience visiting India as an ambassador for World Vision. She was a humanitarian BEFORE she married Harry.

    William is so full of spite and fury that he is going to drive himself into a full-on nervous breakdown. Hey crisis manager: Start managing your boy.

  35. ThatGirlThere says:

    Even if he succeeds in ripping Harry and Meghan’s titles from them he will still not be happy. His jealousy and envy of his brother will be a relentless torment, eating away at him until his miserable life finally flickers out.

  36. Lilly (with the double-L) says:

    I really doubt he’ll feel “satisfied.” He’ll feel whatever payoff it is that colonizers get when they believe they’re slighted, or otherwise minorly inconvenienced. They keep chasing the feelings and it never looks like it is satisfying. We see the unbecoming effect on their looks. It ain’t happiness or an enviable glow. In the meantime: what did you know and when, scooter? As BAFTA “president” will you speak out?

  37. Over it says:

    I wish Harry would take those titles to the post office, mail them to Parasite Willy the thumb and tell him to stick them up his pegging aZzz. like I am so desperately tired of this bald headed demon and his punk ass

  38. Pugsley'sMom says:

    I would love to know how the every-day British people really feel about all this. Also, I believe his Crisis Manager is putting out AI generated videos of William “talking eloquently and in length” about the state of the world, blah blah, which I saw a reference to in a Reel on Facebook. I did not see the actual video but the Reel comments were insane with “love” for “hero” William and “William . Has anybody seen the actual video, or the Reel on Facebook? I believe this is it https://www.facebook.com/share/p/17yVdS82bq/.

  39. mightymolly says:

    You’re gonna tell Americans what we can call our own royalty? ROFLMAO!

  40. Snuffles says:

    Prince William seems desperate to strip Harry and Meghan, and even their children, of their titles, as if that’s the last thing the institution can take from them. The palace and much of the media seem convinced that Harry and Meghan’s success only exists because of those titles.

    But that assumption says more about the royal mindset than about Harry and Meghan.

    The monarchy is built on the belief that titles are what make someone important. If Harry and Meghan lost theirs and still thrived, still invited by governments, still successful, still influential, that would expose something uncomfortable: the titles might not actually be what gives them power.

    And for someone raised to believe he was special because he was anointed by the system, that realization could be far more destabilizing than anything Harry and Meghan have done.

    Is it possible that InTouch published this because they WANT everyone to see that William is a sociopath, focused on all the wrong things in his family and country? Because the press corps knows the stuff that would “make your eyes bleed,” but they can’t say it? So instead they publish articles like this, which KP (wrongly) thinks make their boy look strong and decisive, but which InTouch knows that normal people will read as exactly the opposite.

    Because nobody at InTouch thinks this makes William look sane and kingly. Right?

    You know, there’s a precedent for this. Edward VIII was a very popular prince of wales and someone with apparent panache and a combination of aristocratic hauteur and — oddly enough — a common touch, he was popular with the highborn people he was surrounded by, but also, with normal people who encountered him, he had a huge following. It was like you’d rolled William and Harry into one. By all accounts, when he abdicated, it was a national trauma. Everyone blamed Wallis Simpson, of course, but it transpired that he really was someone of weak character, poor judgment, self-involved, self-indulgent, extravagant, spiteful, and sybaritic. His brother was so traumatised by his warped childhood, he had a severe stutter and no one thought he was up to the task of being king, but he was dogged under pressure, selfless, and mostly even-keeled, but for flashes of temper, and frustration, and extremely humble. So George VI ended up being incredibly popular and a palpable influence on Elizabeth II. But the first-born was a broken reed. I’m really wondering if they keep allowing these stories to circulate as a form of malicious compliance, to show Parliament just how utterly insane William is, so that when they get around to taking titles away, the first one they take is his.
