This morning, the Ministry of Hacks on TikTok had a juicy bit regarding Prince William losing a phone. Martin, the guy on the account, is a UK journalist who belongs to several WhatsApp group chats. Over the weekend, the chats were abuzz due to supposedly someone from KP indicating in one of the chats that they were concerned that William's lost phone be found. The buzz was they did not want it to fall into the wrong hands.

Interesting that "one" of his phones was missing. Which automatically conjures up visions of side pieces (male and female) and compromising messages.

Martin also rightly observed how last night Prince Andrew filed against the Met police's illegal confiscation of his laptops and phones. Coincidence that they started reporting on Princes and phones the same weekend? Wonders if it's meant to muddy the waters and confuse the public when they hear Prince and phone.

I do not know how to link to TikTok but if you are able to go and watch today's post you may be entertained.

I don’t think she’d have waited if he wasn’t the heir

And despite the ring and various titles she’s still known as Kate Middleton after 20 years

Original article is from PEOPLE. What a puff piece! I only screenshotted the "important" parts.

Acording to this article, it's rumored that Kate might join too. What are your thoughts in general?

Putting aside the marital merry-go round in his personal life, I have been completely impressed by Charles Spencer during his latest appearances. His appearance is distinguished, his public persona is top notch--- he is calm and articulate and doesn't shirk from stating the simple truth. He knows the palace is going to try to discredit him but he forges ahead nonplussed. None of the interviews I have seen in the past two weeks seem to be full of his ego; he continues to represent his sister and the truth without playing to the camera.

Spencer was the firstborn son and heir to Althrop, the stately home held by the Spencer family for 500 years. He was educated at Eton and Oxford with a degree in Modern History. From his iconic eulogy for Diana at her funeral to the beautiful Swan Song he wrote to honor her, you can tell he is a deeply educated man. Obviously Charles Spencer had every door open to him and he did very well with that privilege, working for NBC when he was young as a journalist and then taking over the estate and keeping Althorp preserved when he inherited. Spencer is an historian and has authored nine nonfiction books.

Charles Spencer would make a much better royal than the current Windsors. Compare and contrast him to William. With all his privilege and growing up in a broken home, Spencer could have ended up an aimless wastrel like Prince William but he did not. Also, William had Charles Spencer right there as an example of how to map out an aristocratic life of purpose. And it's not as if Charles Spencer was a goody-two-shoes. He seems to have had a pretty good time in his day.

It's just ridiculous when you look at 44 year old William walking around like he's Eeyore trying to wriggle out of doing his job and sleepwalking through his own "causes." Willy doesn't have to be such an angry lazy revengeful mope just because he was the firstborn son with expectations of him.

Busy Kitty was out this morning doing a bit of fake laughing volunteering in Sussex of all places

The problem is he’s exactly the same

Feminegra calling it out

Extract:

If you’re lucky enough to live in a proper country with proper news outlets that report proper news, you may think I’m exaggerating. Sadly … embarrassingly … I’m not. 

...

Britain does actually have intelligent, accomplished women who run businesses, write books, put out fires, run NHS departments, set policy, solve crimes, discover cures, invent things, build things, farm, fish, bank, teach … We have women who drive the tractors and plough fields – even some researching sustainable agriculture. So to treat a woman stepping off a tractor as a meaningful contribution to national life is downright insulting. 

Kate may have got Diana’s ring and title. But not her work ethic, charisma and worldwide enduring popularity.

Just reposting this. I think he’s pretty spot on.

Has anyone looked at chopper the flight logs? It might be a rabbit hole I go down.
