His mother wasn’t so ‘paranoid’ after all was she? Funny how all it takes is a little bit of poking into his life for once can suddenly change his viewpoint, strange that and funny, because he usually loves a bit of poking

"Having seen his mother go through quite a lot of that, the hounding of his mother, I think [Prince William] feels he's seeing elements of that being repeated again in terms of the demands and screeches at his wife over her medical privacy," Ms Nikkah said.

the only common aspect is that the press are interested.

If it's Kate looking OK and happy then I'll be happy for her, if it's anything else then what's changed. It's either bad news or more PR guff. Everyone at the very least has to at this point appreciate that not one word they say can be taken as anything but potential fiction. Royal Fam That Cried Wolf, and all that. I'll believe my own eyes but I don't believe anything they "say in a statement" and anyone who does at this point is exceptionally naive .

the notification that there will be an announcement, is in itself bollocks. It's just more of the same, and i find even the hint that there will be an announcement to be an utter nonsense.

On what planet do the BBC need prior notification that there will be an announcement, days in advance of the event

Good on SB
What people seem to fail to realise (being inherently tribalistic and polarised) is that I don't like or dislike William and Kate any more than Harry and Meghan... I've never been on any "side" other than fairness. I feel just as bad for Kate with the absolute sh**show she's being put through as part of this royal circus as I do for Meghan. And yes, Diana did get the same treatment. The only props I can give to Harry over William is that - as silly as things like "Spare" have been - no one can argue that he hasn't done his best to get his family away from it and do things on their own terms. But he always had more wiggle room to do that, not being the direct heir.

"People" (the GBP) will not readily accept Kate being flawed. Or human in any way. That's what we're seeing at play here.

The rumour has actually been floating around TikTok/Twitter etc. since at least Saturday.

Indeed or at the very least 20 or so years with the end of "old-school" terrestrial telly... and the last 5 or so totally irrelevant as most people no longer use television as their main news source full stop.

Strawman argument
A straw man fallacy (sometimes written as strawman) is the informal fallacy of refuting an argument different from the one actually under discussion, while not recognizing or acknowledging the distinction. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man".

non sequitur
[nɒn ˈsɛkwɪtə]
noun
a conclusion or statement that does not logically follow from the previous argument or statement.

I didn't think you could get any more bigheaded and know it all, but it appears there is growth for even more which is astounding.

Thanks for the copy pasta lol

Always room for a growth mindset. So this might be a good time to let you know that (apparently) you don't know what "copypasta" means either . It's not been a good day really has it.

How is that working out for him? He hasn’t succeeded in ‘getting away from it’, has he?’ He and Meghan cling on to their Royal status as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, when America does not even recognise titles. If they really wanted ‘away from it’ they would style themselves as simply Harry and Meghan and they wouldn’t have lumbered their children with the titles of Prince and Princess.

If they really wanted away from it they would have lived private lives instead of churning out controversial interviews, books and podcasts, shouting out gimme gimme more attention than those old Royals! Waaagh!
Now, everything they do is scrutinised, they have become trashy tabloid fodder, because that is what they opened themselves up to. They are laughing stocks and with the exception of Prince Andrew, the most disliked ‘Royals’. They have it much worse now than they ever had it as part of the ‘Firm’.
If that is what you call ‘getting away from it’?
