Okay you impatient fucks lol William has always had a history of philandering. Kate was his side piece at Saint Andrews. His buddies called her “The Mattress”. Kate’s mom, Carol, raised her with the intention of bagging William. Kate was originally going to Cambridge - where it was assumed William would attend. But he took a gap year at the last minute and then it was announced he would be going to Saint Andrews. Kate declined her spot at Cambridge and took a gap year and applied to Saint Andrews to follow William. Her mother stalked the aristo set and discovered what house (dorm) William was going to live in and got Kate in the same dorm. She wormed her way into his set and became his fuck buddy. William continued to publicly date other gals and Kate would wait around for when he got bored and horny. They graduated and her first public appearance as his girlfriend was at their graduation. She waited around for ten years. William dated around but none of the aristocratic set wanted any part of being in the Royal Family. They finally got married and Kate did her duty and gave him the heir (George) and the spare (Charlotte). He continued to have affairs - a London attorney, a Swiss banker, a ballerina. She accepted it and wasn’t threatened because they weren’t any kind of social threat. After George was born, they lived in Norfolk at Amner Hall. It’s the country home of the aristocracy. Then he had an affair that was an actual threat because the other woman was real aristocracy. Her name is Rose Hanbury, Marchioness of Cholmondeley. Her husband, David, 7th Marquess of Cholmondeley. He is the Lord Great Chamberlain, which is a hereditary role and has been acting as the hereditary Lord Great Chamberlain to QEII since 1990 and carries the Imperial State Crown at the Opening of Parliament. The men in his family have held this role for ages and are therefore very close to the crown and Rose and David are the head bitches of the Norfolk set - known as the Turnip Toffs. When Kate found out she tried to pull rank and get the Hamburys frozen out but it backfired because even though Kate is a Duchess and future Queen Consort, she’s still a social climbing middle class striving commoner to true aristocrats. Louis, the third child, was Kate’s “reward” for turning a blind eye. A few weeks ago it was suddenly announced that Kate and William were pulling their kids from The Thomas Battersea School in London and moving to Adelaide Cottage on the grounds of Windsor Castle and sending the kids to Lambrook School. A very unexpected and unusual decision. But Windsor and the new school are much closer to her parents in Bucklebury, Berkshire. A 30 minute drive as opposed to the two hours from London. Adelaide Cottage is modest by royalty standards - four bedrooms and no servants quarters. It was also announced they were giving up their live in staff. Only Kate has been seen coming and going from Windsor and William seems to still be living in Apartment 1A in Kensington Palace. They have been arriving separately for their few joint appearances and both have been seen alone with the children with luggage and passing the kids back and forth. Articles have been referring to the kids in phrases like “Kate’s children, who she shares with William” - which is an unusual way to refer to children of an active marriage. The gossip is that Adelaide Cottage is Kate’s “separation home” and that they are living apart. And it was chosen so she could be close to her family - Pippa (Kate’s sister) and her husband and kids and James (Kate’s brother) and his wife also live in Bucklebery. The story is that William wants out but would not divorce while the Queen was alive. In the last month there have been a few stories touting William as a hands on dad and how he does much of the day to day parenting. Sooooooooo - Royal followers are reading the tea leaves and claiming that William and Kate are already separated and testing the waters on how the British public will react to another future king getting divorced. And now that the Queen has finally kicked off, expect to see more stories from the Royal Rota hinting at them having grown apart. They’ve been quiet on the topic out of respect for the Queen. Also, don’t expect King Charles to plan William’s investiture as Prince of Wales until a decision is made on whether they divorce. The Firm doesn’t want another Diana situation with a Princess of Wales and mother of the future king out of their control. TL;DR - William is a cheater and Kate is a doormat and word on the street is they’re already separated.
