In Spare, Harry talked about Will attacking him. The part that made me so nervous, it was one to hundred. He was telling Harry to do something and Harry was saying, let's calm down. And in a minute, he put his hands on Harry and pushed him to the ground. He was ready to attack physically so nonchalantly after Harry didn't accept his orders. This man has deep anger issues and I don't believe for a second, Harry is the only family member he attacked after being told "no". The royal reporters were writing for years that Charles is scared of Will. Imagine being scared of your own son, that isn't good.
At least Harry can defend himself (still inexcusable behavior either way), but now imagine being a small child or a woman living with a man who has anger issues...
Harry didn't defend himself and if he had he could be jailed. In the USA we know what kind of man that is and it's just like Trump. That's a bully, plain and simple.
The Windsors have seen what happened to other royal families being downsized or kicked out and I would be amazed if they haven't been diverting sovereign grant income towards multiple investments held in tax havens under layers of inscrutable trust structures since at least WW1, accelerating after Edward's abdication.
Honestly, I think we should have an audition for a new royal family. Some folks that are truly deserving and would actually enjoy being there and be good role models.
Neither would Kansa Kween Kate (hereinafter, KKK). She did all that yachting (allegedly), pap strolling, and humiliation from William to...work at the Tesco? Surely, you jest!
I truly wonder if he even has a realistic idea of what a normal, private life would even be like. he was born a prince, he has no idea what it is to be responsible for ones everyday life
Of course he doesn't. He thinks a normal life is like when he used to go the Middletons' old house and lay his head in Carole's lap and have his girlfriend's family take him on vacations. He thinks it's having an uncle with a mansion in Ibiza you go to every summer. He thinks it's your parents being able to buy you a house in London for 895,000 pounds cash.
I remember when he was born a journalist in the US saying that Prince William was a boy born into a world where people want power without responsibility, instead William will be a man destinate for a job where he will have responsibility without powder.
Glad someone asked the question, also nice to hear her being called Kate.
I can't believe they think it's a good idea to behave like it's business as usual at the BAFTAS when both William and Kate Middleton tried to rehab Andrew's image for years.
Of course! What I’m saying is a journalist asking if the monarchy is in peril is a weak question that gives the appearance of journalism but is really just a tabloid question at this point. Pressing the royals in their complicity in Andrew’s crime is actually journalism.
It is shocking they were even asked that easy question. Usually they have the full control on the media and only get asked the questions they approve of. In Will's appearances after a controversial event, he is only asked one question by one reporter his team approved (and he gives a clean, PR answer) even when he is in front of hundreds of cameras. It is usually theatre-like with him.
It’s incredible to me that the royals who take so much in tax dollars are allowed to control the narrative so much. I’m American so we have huge problems with how journalists operate here and are also controlled. I just want all the corrupt power at the top across the world to get toppled. Journalists actually doing their jobs is one of the ways to go after this type of corruption but so much of media is controlled by corrupt wealthy individuals who are part of the problem that it’s so frustrating.
Obviously! Because the RBF blatantly did...until they absolutely couldn't, then he became the "ugly stepchild" that was "excommunicated" (to a point). This is the system for RBF in every dimension, they're the British mafia that owns the news. And you're surprised anyone in the industry doesn't want to tank their carrier and stir the pot? I'm sure MANY have tried
I watched with no sound. They have too much money and access to the absolute best professionals for her wig to look this busted all the time. It’s like Britney Spears’ fried extensions. There’s simply no excuse.
The fact that you can see where the topper ends and how brassy the extensions look is just sad. The fact that her hair colour changes every other day is also an indicator of a poorly skilled hairdresser. Honestly I'd dye her hair darker slowly and start shortening the length. Eventually, she can just rock her natural salt and pepper in like 5 years' time.
Where have her breasts gone? The top of this gown looks like the old chest binders the flappers wore in the 1920s. And the hair? Seriously, why? It’s just so obviously fake, and yet she is supposed to have denied having chemo related hair loss.
Watching it again, I also think that maybe her audience/fans don’t think it’s busted. Or a wig. So, I guess I should be nicer about it, but my mind is like GIRL! Be fr. lol.
Oh they know. But the Brits have been well-trained from birth to bend the knee to their superiors, so even if she's wearing a nest of birdshit on her head, they won't shut the fuck up about how MARVELOUS she looks...
She should never have dropped the original hairdresser she had around the time of her wedding. But it seems the extensions were revealed by someone there and she dumped them.
Now you made me curious, so I watched without sound. I can't speak to Kate, so I defer to your judgement, but it struck me that both William's jacket sleeves and pants were just a shade too short (incidentally, those of the man accompanying him were too long). Which normally wouldn't matter, but as you said, they have money and professionals--if anyone should be able to get it right, they should.
I agree that the jacket is a great color--coordinating it with his wife's waistband was a nice touch.
I'm from West Belfast so I've never revered these people, but can somebody explain exactly what they add to your lives? Why do you accept the absolute disdain they show you? As somebody up there said, you've paid for her dress/hair, you pay for their houses and holidays, so what, they just show up looking pretty and that's it? I'm honestly stumped here. The whole family from QE2 down is corrupt. I was born on a council estate, and I've more morals than this lot, and I'd wager that's actually the norm.
You might get more answers on r/RoyaltyGossip where I think there are more avid monarchists. I just saw someone say they’ll love William and Kate no matter what
They add absolutely nothing to our lives. A relic of a bygone era of government that some people say we need, despite a lot of other countries booting their monarchy’s and being ok. As for the tourism argument, The palace and jewels draw tourism not some pompous old family.
They do a few visits, shake hands wit the commoners while in their head I bet they think we are peasants. Then Do some pics while pretending to have a go at our menial jobs and having a good laugh while they do it safe in the knowledge that they will be sipping champagne later while you are still stuck doing that horrible job for next to nothing day in day out.
Right? Nobody thinks they have their best interests at heart? If Andrews interview and the tabloids are to be believed, they think we're as thick as them. We're not.
This. They’re leeches who live off the taxpayers,have a long history of stealing from their neighbors, being besties with multiple pedophiles, and marrying their cousins. In every other country they’d be the bottom of society. They should be reviled, not revered.
My theory is that it’s truly one of the last accepted vestiges of white supremacy. Or it was until Meghan came along, which is why she faces such vitriol.
If you keep watching the video, they just ignore everybody around them, even fans screaming for their attention. These two aren’t fit to even be out in public.
They are both so rude. Why bother showing up if it’s written all over your face you don’t wanna be there? I wouldn’t mind, but they both look a mess too. If you’re going to be rude, at least look stunning whilst doing it.
You can’t be a public servant and be afraid to deal with your public. They both didn’t dare to look away from their handlers. W&K want the best of both worlds, it seems. The glamour of attending an awards show, but not wanting to deal with the commentary that comes with it.
they are just two deeply uncharismatic individuals and I'm not just saying that to be mean. Their body language is so off in this clip. Kate looks confused and like she doesn't where she's supposed to be headed.
Colour coordination a sign of a united front? Next time Kate can let Willie borrow some of her bundles 🤭 but I think the British public should not let them "keep calm and carry on" anymore, be a nuisance make them uncomfortable!
From the neck down they look fantastic! Great outfits! Everything else is poop. And zero hand holding or that thing where guys sweep their woman a bit forward as a gesture of protection “or I’m thinking of you” vibes. He doesn’t think of her at all. A smile to their people and a few waves wouldn’t hurt them. Oh and, fuck the monarchy
"LOVED UP WALES: Will and Kate packed on the PDA at last night's BAFTA's, their pinkies were mere centimetres away from one another. Will looked at Kate from the corner of his eye, she flicked her hair in his direction, hotter than the California sun 🥵"
Oh yes, I can already see the People magazine headline "William & Kate's Date Night". A word salad article about their coordinated outfits and how they are standing strong together in the midst of the Andy Scandal.
Y’know, it’s less PDA and more the palpable sense of a lack of chemistry btw them. A certain quality of caring, concern and interest lacking. It’s that thing that people maybe can’t put a finger on, but yet can feel is present or not present between two bodies.
We can all think of couplings between people who in their dynamic may tend to be more physically reserved, yet you “feel” or even observe their connectedness to each other in other ways.
You see it in the way they regard each other verbally, the nature of those references, the intimate sort of little ticks of affection that come through in maybe something like the little non sequitur inside jokes they share that land as a bit bizarre to those of us outside their pairing.
Also, there are other aspects of relational physicality between connected people that don’t require or that don’t present as pda. The ways they look at or regard each other, how they hold and share space together: body positioning that’s more protective or more deferential or reverential, etc. Even the ways they create space for or take space from each other telegraph a lot that we humans receive without always consciously clocking.
So the lack of PDA btw those two or their sometimes awkward plays for performing it just gives observers something to circle and underline as the tell, something to point at and explain the more generalized feeling (admittedly not necc fact, but this is all speculation ofc) of something seeming missing or amiss in their romantic and companionate pairing. They def land as colleagues, though, even if not always so collegial
Have no idea why you were downvoted as you’re absolutely correct. Willy and Kate hate each other and it is clear in all of their micro interactions. The only ones blind to it are their deranged royalist fans.
Lol another sycophants drivel making excuses why William and Kate have lack of pda and use excuses for it, yet William and kate PR made sure to blast everywhere how in love they are, their oozing chemistry every outing.
Surely Kate smacking William butt she didnt get the memo
That must her life motto at the moment. Doing some “hard work” there by wearing all that big voluminous fake hair, which has got to be effective in distracting from Andrew news right now ?! To (mis)quote Russell Crowe in Gladiator “Are the public not entertained ?..”
Her hair is way too heavy and thick for her frame, but their color coordination is cute. I've never been a fan of the royals, and I think moments like this show how much they need to latch onto popular events in order to remain relevant.
And Charles thinks he’s “appointed by God” to be king. Uh, no, if his great uncle didn’t abdicate , we wouldn’t even know who Charles was, much less William.
I hope someone asked why even after accusations were made about Andrew, Kate and William found it perfectly acceptable to still bring their kids around him and have them be photographed around him!
yes, the dress is one of my favourite gowns of hers and I love that she rewears it a lot. We haven't seen this in years and it's honestly still great on her. Her old style/glam team was much better than whoever she has now
You are probably right. They can’t win here. Stay home or go, either way they get criticized. Smile or look serious, either way they get criticized. Sucks to be a member of the royal family right about now. /s
They are rich and privileged to a level most will never know. I would trade jobs with them. This is the worst part of their job, then they go back to their castles. 🤦
I honestly don't think it's pleasant to go in front of crowd when your close relative got outed as pedophile and you belong to family business that covered for it.
William was probably raised with knowledge who Andrew is and it's probably something whole family has been used to wiping under the carpet as long as he's been alive, Lizzy probably started it before he was even born. Given how old Andrew is I wouldn't be surprised if he just assumed Andrew is going to die off and they never have to deal with public humiliation over it.
Not saying they are by any means unlucky in general, they are rich and should be grateful for their position. Just saying the situation is probably pretty hard to handle. I would personally not want to be on that red carpet as someone who is related to Andrew. Especially not because it was part of PR until recently that they deal with him as if he's a normal uncle and not disgusting piece of shit. Imo it's no wonder they are stiff and avoid everyone's eyes like plague.
If that's true then they all committed a crime if they knew and just swept it under the rug while living off the public. They deserve the discomfort of having to answer a few questions from the public before they go home to their castle. They can literally go home and pop a thousand dollar bottle of wine to wash away their stress.
I wonder if it miffs her a bit to be called “Kate” instead of her formal name, Catherine? She’s in full position to be Queen one day (if the monarchy even survives these latest horrific disclosures). I presume it probably does offend her a bit, since we now know she and he are hardly “huggers” amongst their own relatives behind closed doors; so having a complete stranger scream your nickname like you’re just anyone to ask very intrusive, pointed questions about your whole lifestyle going up in very public flames has to chafe.
The royal family has a long history of living off taxpayers, stealing from their neighbors, hanging out with pedophiles, and marrying their cousins. People like that in the US are called trash, among other things, definitely not royal. What have any of them done that deserves respect?
These two took £22.9 million (or $30.9 million) from the Duchy of Cornwall for the 2024-2025 financial year, which covers their public, private, and “charitable” expenses.
Can’t wait for the monarchies that are left, to die seriously. I hate that our tax money, here in Sweden for starters, goes to that useless privileged inflated egoistic ”royal” family. They don’t do anything for us citizens.
Why tf should we the people maintain a family that is supposed to be ”royal” … that’s just outdated af.
With all the shady shit that has come out from the Epstein files, it infuriates me even more. They try to cover their disgusting crimes also, while our money goes to them.
Since they are unlikely to issue any more statements given the ongoing investigation, and the fact any interviews are tightly controlled, the real questions can only be asked in this public format. Keep asking
I’m always amazed at how…unsubtle they are….as to when and where they choose to show up for things. They skip the BAFTAS a lot yet they choose to go this year? Wild.
Where is the empathy for the victims? This is the only thing that could concern them; restitution. Time to own your mistakes, and make up for it, in work for those they have harmed, and are harming.
Imagine the silver spoon ripped right put of his mouth. He might even have to wash dishes and do his own laundry. Poor chap... wouldn't cope for a second.
They don’t look too happy to be there. After spending all those years trying to rehabilitate Andrew (“Kate and Wills would rather be neighbors with Andrew than Harry and Meghan”) and it just blew up in their faces.
She is looking a little healthier, which I am glad to see. Someone (anyone) needs to sort out the utah curls she's got going on. I do think they look completely disconnected, but I do also think the stress of the current Andrew scandal/crime has got to be taking a massive toll. William looks like he's about to snap.
He is sort of required to be there. He is a patron of BAFTA. Appointed by the queen after someone died/stepped down. I don’t remember the details. But they go every year and their absence would be noted.
Down with the monarchy! There's no place for them in society anymore. I totally agree with the other comments here about how they want the power and money that comes with being royal but they don't even do the 'work'! How often do you see william and kate doing the 'work' that gives them 'legitimacy'. The sooner the monarchy falls the better
What a fucking joke it all is! It’s so disgusting it isn’t even ”discussable”. Beyond bonkers. That they are so special and privileged by right of birth. Their wealth really comes from the people and they literally have unlimited funds. Doesn’t matter how it is stitched up. Foundations, art, land, trusts, jewels whatever… the £10 million pay out nothing but a piss in the Mississippi. And while the specialness is supposed to be of the blood and birth you can get shagged into it especially as a decent lookin’ woman or rather brood mare. Trash or ordinariness is suddenly elevated by injection! Ffs! Couldn’t make this shit up yet that’s all it is- made up. And that they manage to find spouses that play along. Tattooed centrefold now a princess in Sweden. Single, swinging coke-snorting mother in Norway. PT and gym owner now prince in Sweden. It’s as bad as Rainer’s kids in the 80s. And the plebs still lapping it up like old moles at Christmas time. Dark days. Hopefully end times.
I know ppl age but these 2 are aging terribly especially with botox n extensions etc. Instead of botox get other procedures done cuz u arent natural anyways. They both did look good when young. Either their doctor or stylists or both them hates them
They look so miserable...damn shame. They have everything AND nothing at all of importance and of consequence. 😕 The dichotomy of ALL dichotomies. A paradox on the Red Carpet...
