The House of Windsor: Tabloid Edition Part 3

The Crown Jewels…. A Little Girl Lost

The British Press. A pack of relentless ill mannered mouth breathers notorious for their bumbling through the streets in pursuit of celebrity prey which they can torment with their foul and obnoxious questions endless insults and fruitless attempts to illicit photo worthy reactions. If they had two brain cells between them all they’d still be fighting for third place.

This band of asinine clowns answer to their tabloid overlords like starved street mutts desperate for any sign of praise that might move them up the ladder of journalistic depravity. If they were half as smart as they thought, they were they would be twice as smart as they actually are.

The simple truth of it all is that for all their talk, their overt gesturing, their shouting, exclaiming yelling and boasting. For all the trap and foul-smelling fodder that they spew the simple truth remains. You cannot sprinkle bullshit with sugar and make it a cupcake. While they try and try and try again their constant shifting and shuffling in the realm of the obscenely false narratives only moves them closer to the celebrity host position of children’s story hour at that local library.

This is the nightmare that awaits anyone who is … well… lets be honest crazy enough to become part of the British Royal Family. You have to be either on the far side of love… completely enamored, besotted, totally love struck…. Or…. Wicked crazy with social ambition. This is the pack of fans that will follow your every move, chase you down the streets, spy on you from the bushes, chase your car, peak through your windows, or jump out of your trash. There is no limit to their methods. Undercover, in your face, at your work, your school, your church. Wherever you go they will follow, chase, pursue and seek you out. This is the life of Diana Princess of Wales, Catherine Middleton, Meghan The Duchess of Sussex, Chelsy Davy, Cressida Bonas, Caroline Flack, Jecca Craig, Olivia Hunt, Isabella Calthorpe.

Their endless relentless attempts to capture that one career altering moment have been nothing but childish. If the press corps thought, they were brilliant in their attempts to track down and hound the would be potential royal brides of Prince Harry and Prince William through the early 2000’s they’re scheming didn’t come close to that of future brides Camilla Parker Bowles and Catherine Middleton.

Now we could get into Kate’s background, where she’s from, where she went to school etc… but lets be honest that is what google is for and really it doesn’t matter and no one cares. We could go over all that and all the things she’s done or not done… but again… is it relative to the conversation. No. Kate met William at St. Andrew’s University in Scotland. She wasn’t originally supposed to be there though. She had already been accepted sorted her classes and made arrangements for her housing for the University of Edinburgh. A more prestigious university to be fair. Instead, she changed to St. Andrew’s signed up for Art History and took a gap year.

Why? Because that is what William did. She even enrolled in the same courses. To her credit she stuck with Art History after William changed his courses to Geography (poor lad couldn’t stay awake in lectures). Once she got William in her sights she didn’t let go. In fact, the two dated off and on for ten years before they married. This included two very public break ups, but Kate maintained her relentless pursuit of William until finally he popped the question. This insanely long courtship earned her the press nickname Waity Katie.

Now it’s rather self serving of the press corps to slap insulting nicknames on their prey but if they had actually stopped to think about it, the reality was that it wasn’t Kate who deserved the mocking. It was William. You have to seriously ask yourself…. What was he waiting for? The reality is no man waits ten years to propose to a woman unless…. 1. He’s already married to someone else 2. He’s settling because nothing better has come along 3. Everyone else turned him down or 4. The man isn’t straight but has to pretend he is.

Now arranged marriages are nothing new to the nobility, the royals or even the upper middle class in the UK. Its something that while considered somewhat old fashioned from “back then” it still occurs. Many of the high society couples in the UK are friends with benefits and not much more. In a society where everything is available at your fingertips and social profiles are everything there are probably more “accepted” marriages then there are “romantic” ones in these circles.

In the case of the royals the benefits are many. Money, fame, “supposed” power. Yes “supposed” we all know they don’t have any real authority or power and the few things they can have a say over are more traditional than they are relevant. But there are the jewels, the crowns, the tiaras. The ballgowns, the fancy cars and carriages, private planes, palaces and castles. It all seems so magical. Seems so. The real purpose of the Royals these days is to bring awareness to charities, raise funds and promote causes. If you are a humanitarian at heart, you’re in the right place. Especially if you actually love the person you married. If you don’t really care much about that bit and you thought the person you married was amazing in the beginning but have learned the feelings aren’t shared. Well… you’re screwed. And if you already have children together, then you’re as trapped as your partner. So, what happens when it all starts to go south?

Fast forward past all the wedding nonsense, the intros to the role (still learning after all these years) the photo opportunities, the awkward pregnancies with the more awkward christenings, the moving to yet another residence and finally… FINALLY after all that you’re settled into the role… (no still learning. Okay well sort of there) … the routine becomes well routine. And your husband gets bored. What then?

See Kate thought out the whole university thing, she planned out the pursuit. She envisioned the role; she was prepared for the children and what kind of mom she would be. All that. She had it all planned out in her head. But…. The one thing she didn’t plan out was her husband getting bored. Or her husband looking elsewhere for excitement so to speak. As rumors of an affair and “alternative” sexual practices began to circulate amongst the more ambitious social climbing members of the press Kate managed to turn a somewhat blind eye so long as she was able to hold William’s attention in public. But as the eyes wandered further the interactions amongst them became more and more frosty. William began swatting away her hand, making faces, rolling his eyes, and moving away from her attempts to interact with him in front of the cameras. Behind the scenes rumors flew of heated arguments with objects being thrown. William was reported to be continuously incandescent with rage and short tempered.

Now watching these two over the years it’s clear there is a point where they purposely use their charities, events and even Harry to deflect from the growing discord in their relationship. Something that just couldn’t continue after Meghan arrived on the scene. Not only was Meghan a total and complete distraction for Harry but also for William who was a religious follower of Suits and clearly enamored with Meghan Markle. Looking at the photos of the early years of Harry and Meghan’s relationship and even their wedding the looks that William gives Meghan speak volumes as to what is on his mind. Kate for her part was cold, contentious and flippant with Meghan whenever their paths crossed.

That’s how it started. So how is it going? Well, we could say it was going well. If we knew if Kate was alive. See we can fast forward over the fighting the hate, the bullying the harassment and the eventual departure of the Sussex’s and stop somewhere right around November of 2023. In fact, right around November 30th 2023. This is when Omid Scobie’s book Endgame was released. And with it the naming of the individuals involved in the discussions about Prince Archie before his birth. The discussions of “concern” over his skin color and the impact that would have on the family. Now plenty of people argue it’s normal for family to talk about what a baby will look like. Yes…yes it is. It’s normal to guess what color hair, mothers or fathers, eyes… mothers or fathers, etc.… but to explicitly say that you are “concerned” over skin color and the “impact” it will have on the family reputation is not the same sort of thing. Curiosity normal… concern….. well call it what it is .. concern over skin color is flat out racist. There is no getting around it. The naming of King Charles and Kate Middleton by Piers Morgan on his talk show after a translation of the book suggested Charles was the perpetrator sent the international press into a frenzy. At the same time celebrity gossip columnists and insiders began circulating word that a couple in the family were due to announce their separation in January. Bets were quickly being placed on the Wales and the Tindall’s.

Now we could easily say at this point Kate is likely to be rather stressed after the release of her name in conjunction with the racism allegations. But that stress likely didn’t have much chance to settle before world of the Epstein files being released was announced. Like clockwork names started dropping and with them photographs. Including photos of Kate with Richard Branson who was named in the files, then stories that she had also slept with Prince Andrew also mentioned in the files and the main focus of a massive multi million-pound settlement to quiet one of the Epstein victims.

All this would be random gossip if it were not for the fact that Kate has disappeared. After the annual Christmas walk about a mad dash middle of the night police convoy from Sandringham to Kind Edward hospital on December 28th was captured on video and released to the public a random announcement is made about “planned stomach surgery” a prolonged hospital stay and an extensive recovery. The same time the King announces a surgical procedure and hospital stay. Followed by a cancer announcement, a mad dash visit from Harry, an army of press, announcers and family members dressed in black and the absence of family members for hospital visits. The extent of strange occurrences is far to numerous to get into yet again but the list of things that “don’t” match up with the “official” story is long, extensive and growing.

Kate is MIA. Not one photo of the photo op queen has been released. Her family has not been seen in public for some time (although miraculously today without having made any other statements regarding their sister her siblings are on Instagram enjoying beach vacations like nothing else is going on). They didn’t visit her in hospital and have not been seen in Windsor either. Kate is too ill to return to public duties for 4 to 9 months and requires 3 full time round the clock nurses but can travel back and forth from Windsor to Norfolk without issue to enjoy half term. But still no photos. No proof of anything other than sources beyond reproach who claim she was and possibly is still in a coma. We don’t know.

Let’s consider for a moment that the worst is true. That the rumors that she isn’t coming back are true. How did this happen? The palace says its not cancer. So, what abdominal surgery requires a two week hospital stay and a four to nine month recovery with round the clock nursing care? None. Organ transplants take less than that to recover from. You can make an entire human from a single cell to full term in that time period.

The Spanish press claims she had a hysterectomy that went bad and she was put in an induced coma (this is looking more and more true by the day folks) but…. If that is the case and she is out of the coma then its simply stitches and bits that are rejoined that need to heal. Hardly nine months worth of fuss. And why the round the clock nursing care? Care that looks very much like hospice care.

Stories are circulating. Very loud stories are circulating. Stories that suggest that much more than surgery has taken place. Stories that suggest injuries and a change in the line up. See there is another part of the story to consider. Kate moves by herself in circles. If you were to look at her history there are key factors in her life that are missing that you will clearly see in others. She has no friends. There are no girl friends for weekends away or nights out. There are no baby showers or events with a gang of long-time friends. She’s never pictured with friends. She’s only ever pictured with men. Friends of William, friends of Harry, high society men and alternative options. Kate has actually been described by fellow students, ex roommates, girlfriends of Harry and of Williams friends as mean, rude and uppity. Kate is what is referred to as a social climber. Which by modern day definition is an attention whore, someone who deliberately marries someone or seeks out friendships and relationships with individuals because they have something to offer them. For Kate it was William she locked onto and refused to let go. Social climbers never see any depth or intimacy in their friendships or their personal relationships. There is always a purpose an end goal to improve their standing. They are ambitious and competitive and are often high achievers in relation to their goal.

Despite the bravado in their game play this is actually a sign of low self esteem and their tendency to constantly compare themselves to others around them and those who they wish to emulate. Because they are using the people around them to build their self esteem, they never form lasting deep relationships with anyone. They are also more inclined to accept behavior and character traits in their partners that would be otherwise considered undesirable. Which would explain why Kate has not only endlessly pursued William but also stuck with him despite his horrific temper, narcissistic personality traits, history of physical altercations, his heavy drinking and clear growing disdain for her. (we’ve got a massive discussion on William’s behavior, character, Nostradamus prophecies and future of the monarchy coming up and it’s a doozie so I won’t elaborate too much here).

It hasn’t been without issue. Kate has repeatedly over the past five years shown repeated injuries to her hands, increasing weight loss, rapid aging and lack luster hair and complexion. Her behavior has been more erratic and bizarre and her mannerisms manic. She has increasingly been copying Meghan’s fashion, accessories and interests while trying to copy her body language. The result is a very frantic and manic display of erratic and inappropriate behavior.

While questions have been raised repeatedly over the wasting appearance of the Princess of Wales no amount of intervention has taken place. Rather her behavior and appearance instead of being questioned are simply photoshopped online by her would be fans who claim, “she’s fine”. Behind the curtain there are those wonderful “sources, aids, friends and trusted staff” who claim knowledge of mental health issues, eating disorders and general desperation. This would be one of those times when the British Press could actually put their snooping and obnoxiously loud mouths to purpose and rather than bury the truth of the matter address it head on. How often have we been told that this Royal or that Royal said or did this to raise awareness for a particular cause. Kate has purported to be a supporter of mental health initiatives for years. Actions speak louder than words here and while I cannot say with absolute certainty where she stands on the issues regarding mental health, she has shown little to no support to Invictus veterans, Harry, or Meghan who have all been vocal and upfront about their struggles. In fact, Kate has made several rather scandalous comments in regard to mental health treatments and therapies that would suggest that perhaps she is not as on board as she would like us to believe, something that would not surprise me if she herself is struggling to cope behind the scenes.

There is absolutely little doubt that with all that has transpired over the last two years with the passing of the Queen, the “changing of the guard” so to speak and the ongoing endless harassment of the Sussex’s by the press and the one-sided competition for attention of the Wales there is an unhealthy atmosphere brewing through both Kensington and Buckingham Palace. Rumors and actual video evidence of William’s excessive drinking (what was that the other day at the investiture ceremony???) have given the best evidence yet that rumors of mental health and domestic issues in the Wales home may not be far off the mark. The international press corps reporting on the possibility of self or otherwise inflicted harm during a dispute over divorce proceedings does not seem so entirely off the mark. (Unconfirmed folks don’t take that for gospel, no one knows for sure except those involved and they aren’t talking… they aren’t even going out in public….).

The discussions of bipolar disorder, anorexia, alcoholism and extensive behavior outbursts are growing more and more on the international scene. If these stories are to be believed then the departure of the Sussex’s seems to have launched the Wales household into a dizzying frenzied attempt to grasp at everything while reaching nothing. The curse of the sons of the monarch is ever more present today than it has ever been in the past. William like many of his predecessors has been raised to believe that his brother is less than…. Less deserving, less important, less capable, less intelligent, less successful…. Less than in every respect. Because of this William has also spent his life believing that it was Harry’s role to “do” for William. It was Harry’s role to fill in when needed, to do the tasks that were undesirable, to allow William to take credit and glory for anything that Harry managed to bring attention to. William truly believed because he was raised to believe that Harry would always be there to “solve” all of William’s problems. Harry was never supposed to succeed on his own, his wife was never supposed to be anything other than less than William’s wife.

William for his part has actually brought all this to pass. Harry’s leaving was a direct result of how he was treated by his family and by the press and the public. It was also a direct result of William not standing up for him or his family to the British Media. The result is now this spiral of events which has culminated in this strange disappearance and behavior of the Prince and Princess of Wales. Williams jealousy of Harry’s freedom, his anger at his departure, his jealousy of Meghan and his ongoing disputes with his father and stepmother have made for a very anxious, angry and distant prince who seems more and more ill at ease in public each time he manages to venture out. If his recent appearance rocking swaying and staggering at the investiture ceremony and all night partying at the air ambulance fundraiser is any indication of goings on behind the scenes then we must really ask….. Where is Kate? Is she okay? We don’t need to know the specific details. But proven up to date photos wouldn’t be so much to ask. And if there is trouble in paradise then perhaps this is one time where the Wales should take advice from the Spares…… “To make that decision to receive help is not a sign of weakness. In today’s world, more than ever, it is a sign of strength,” Prince Harry
