One thing about Americans is we can see through bullshit and we don’t like entitled grifters. They could never hack it here and truly no one gives a shit about d list royals.

Good luck to our friends in the UK, they’re your problem now.

[🌸Mari E.🌸🐈‍⬛🐈 @mari_2527]

30 have passed, and it seems Lady Diana still hasn't found peace. There's always someone ready to sell a new version of her story: supposed friends, biographers, journalists, butlers, Harry, her youngest son, and now, once again, her own brother, Charles Spencer. Memories, private conversations, and intimate moments have been exploited time and again, turning Diana herself into a “PRODUCT” to generate headlines and make money. 🤑

Charles has every right to tell his own story and share his memories. What's questionable is that he presents himself as the definitive voice of a woman who died almost three decades ago. It's deeply contradictory to say you want to protect Diana's memory while, after her death, you repackage her life story for sale.

And since Charles Spencer intends to speak again “on behalf” of Diana, I suppose he will also recount the less comfortable chapters of his own relationship with her: when Diana sought his support and accommodation at Althorp and he refused, and the harsh words they exchanged in letters. Because telling “the truth” should also include that which doesn't reflect well on the author.

Diana already shared much of what she wanted to share while she was alive. Perhaps the best way to protect her legacy is not through another round of "revelations," but by allowing her to rest and remember her work and her good deeds.

And then there's William. His memories of Diana could fill entire books and be worth a fortune, but he has never put them up for sale or used his mother as a bargaining chip to gain money, headlines, sympathy, or public approval. He could tell you things that no friend, butler, biographer, or family member knows, and he has been consistent in how he chooses to speak about his mother and what to share of his grief at losing her. While others continue to exploit the figure of Diana, William protects what he experienced with his mother. That is the difference between remembering her and using her.

[FAN of the Prince & Princess of Wales @TribesBritannia]

No @RoyaNikkhah she is not Kate, has never been Kate and so it is not fine. Her name is Catherine, it is what she calls herself, it is what her loved ones call her. If you think we’re going to stand by and let you call her Queen Kate when she is crowned you’re dreaming.

[Dickie Arbiter LVO 🇬🇧 @RoyalDickie]

@hellomag Come on @hellomag - the lady you refer to became the Duchess of Cambridge on 29 April 2011 and the Princess of Wales on 9 September 2022. One day she will become Queen Consort to William, will you still call her Kate Middleton? Where is the respect or doesn't it count any more.

[Resting Dollface @RestingDollface]

We see you, Meghan Markle. The whole world sees you for who you really are.

Allegedly. #DontClick on Anything about Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, or the Sussex children. Enough.

The Impossible Standards the Media Places on William and Catherine

I’m genuinely baffled by the lengths some sections of the media will go to manufacture a negative narrative around Prince William and Catherine.

Nothing they do is ever enough.

When they keep their private life private, anonymous “sources” suddenly claim to know exactly what’s happening behind closed doors.

When they don’t respond to rumours, their silence is treated as confirmation.

When they carry out engagements, the coverage often shifts away from the cause they’re supporting and onto finding something to criticise instead.

When they prioritise their family, they’re accused of being work-shy.

When they don’t give the media access to their personal lives, stories appear to fill the silence anyway.

It’s a cycle that never seems to end.

William and Catherine have made one thing consistently clear throughout their marriage: their family life is private.

They haven’t sat down for tell-all interviews.

They haven’t written memoirs exposing private family conversations.

They haven’t turned personal relationships into content.

Yet instead of respecting that boundary, some commentators seem determined to invent a narrative anyway. Anonymous briefings become headlines. Speculation becomes “inside information.” Repetition turns rumours into accepted truth.

It’s exhausting to watch.

People also forget that William and Catherine don’t live remotely normal lives. Yes, they are privileged. No one disputes that. But privilege doesn’t mean they owe the public unlimited access to their marriage, their children, or every private decision they make.

Most of us can take our children to school without photographers waiting outside.

Most of us can visit relatives without it becoming international news.

Most of us can have a bad day without strangers dissecting every facial expression.

They can’t.

By all means, criticise William and Catherine when the criticism is deserved.

But criticise what they actually do, not the fictional versions created through anonymous “sources,” endless speculation, and narratives that seem determined to paint them in the worst possible light.

Privacy shouldn’t be treated as guilt.

Silence shouldn’t be treated as evidence.

And refusing to feed the media with personal drama shouldn’t make someone the villain.

[Yael Moussaieff @Yisraphat]

Yeah, but the media don’t even allow him to be those things. Even now, you all treat William as though he’s Harry’s parent rather than Harry’s sibling. You can barely mention Harry without the obligatory speech: war hero, Invictus, trauma. Funny how an ordinary squaddie who did a couple of tours is just doing his job, but Harry becomes a permanent war hero. And Invictus? It’s a brilliant project, but Harry didn’t create it alone. It came out of the Royal Foundation. William, Catherine and Harry championed it, while talented civil servants and staff did the painstaking work of building it. Most of you don’t afford William the same humanity. He lost his mother too. Yet nobody feels compelled to begin every conversation about William with the image of him walking behind Diana’s coffin. Nobody introduces him through the worst day of his childhood. And, frankly, 15 is tougher than 12 in many ways. At 15, William understood what was happening. He’d become his mother’s confidant. He watched the Panorama interview while at school as his family fell apart in public. That’s a different kind of trauma. Twelve is horrific too, but you’re still more protected from the adult world. Even people who dislike him frame everything through the language of his childhood, as though that settles every moral question about the man he is today. Meanwhile, George actually is 12. Where is this concern for him? It’s his mother whose medical privacy was invaded. It’s his mother who endured months of grotesque conspiracy theories. It’s his mother who was targeted by an online campaign that included fake images of her face bloodied and bruised, alongside the lie William had done it. So why endless obsession with preserving Harry as a little boy? What’s the point of endlessly revisiting 1997 if, with Harry’s help and a social media ecosystem that behaves like the worst tabloids, we’re recreating the same for George and Charlotte? Harry and Twitter have become the new tabloids. Then commentators package that outrage into podcasts, columns and YouTube videos because it pays. Is it because admitting Harry is just a muddled middle-aged man would mean admitting your own age too?
Harry is 41 years old. Thirty years later, someone should be saying, “Aren’t you glad you walked with your mother? That you protected her as much as you both could until the very end?” But no. 1997 was the year I started boarding school. I was 13.
I’m not 13 anymore. I’m 41. And I bet when I say it about myself, you immediately see how ridiculous it would be if people still treated 13-year-old me as the defining version of who I am. So why do you all do it with Harry?

[Peter Ford @newmrpford]

So sweet! But a bit confusing. Meghan will not accept an apology from her own ailing father for one indiscretion but is willing to go crawling back to the Royal family that she said was racist & gave her suicidal ideation. Now why would that be?

[HELLO! @hellomag]

In a world of royal rifts, Princess Kate and James Middleton are a masterclass in sibling loyalty https://t.co/zD3MTL3pFW

[Yael Moussaieff @Yisraphat]

When you want the world to know “your truth” and you’re paid millions to tell it, it stops being healing and becomes narcissism, attention-seeking, betrayal and an institutional power play. That’s not family. That’s using your family as content and trying to hurt others rather than help yourself. And by the way, if Meghan genuinely needed mental health support, you don’t call HR. She and Harry managed to do everything else they wanted. They kept plans secret, announced major life events on their own terms, and repeatedly bypassed the palace whenever it suited them. Yet when it came to picking up the phone to a doctor, suddenly she was powerless? That she had no agency except to call Human Resources? HR exists to support employees. The very existence of an HR department undermines the fantasy this was some medieval castle where Meghan was a voiceless princess locked in a tower. HR actually existed to protect the staff who said they felt bullied by Meghan. But the trapped-princess narrative was the one she believed she could sell, particularly to an American audience raised on Disney. Harry said he wanted a family, not an institution. Yet for six years he has repeatedly monetised private family matters, publicly abused relatives, and used the institution as a vehicle to damage the people inside it. What he seems to be realising too late is that the institution is the family, supported by staff. It was never some faceless machine. The people caught in the crossfire were his father, his brother, his sister-in-law, his grandparents and the wider family. Netflix didn’t pay them to expose an institution. It paid them to abuse a family. A family that has since endured serious illness. Catherine has never sold her truth. But what if her truth is that her sister-in-law’s public attacks caused immense emotional distress? What if William’s truth is that years of public terrorising took a devastating toll on the mother of his children? Everyone has “their truth.” Not everyone sells it.

Thank you to Ryley Thomass for taking the time to explain something that was evident to most of us who saw grace & courage in action by HRH as well as all those she met along the way including Ted & yourself.

[MissTeak. 🇬🇧 @sachah46]

Americans bleating about Harry not getting personal protection officers need to grasp two facts. First the risk to every VIP is assessed by RAVEC & recommendations made accordingly.
Second, Harry wants International Protected Person status because then the citizens of every country he’s in pay for his guards, he doesn’t. That means you, American citizens, would pay your taxes for protection for four individuals for the rest of their lives.
Harry has spent a fortune on protection & now he’s trying to make you pay instead. He’s using his children as blackmail.

The Princess of Wales has completed the gruelling Three Peaks Challenge in a bid to spread her message about life during and after cancer.  She started the endurance event on Saturday night and finished 24 hours later - cheered on by her family - for @royalmarsden

[The Prince and Princess of Wales @KensingtonRoyal]

Every year, hundreds of thousands of people in this country hear the words no one wants to hear. What follows is a path that tests every part of who we are: physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually. The challenges ripple outwards, touching families, friendships, work and the quiet moments we spend alone with our thoughts.

Cancer doesn’t just affect the body. It changes how you think and feel and profoundly affects every aspect of life. I know this personally, and that the journey through and beyond treatment requires more than medicine alone.

I have taken on the National Three Peaks Challenge, not simply as a physical endeavour but as a chance to explore life beyond diagnosis and to give something back. The Royal Marsden is a place that holds great meaning for me and whose care and expertise are life changing for so many people.

Through this challenge, I want to raise awareness for the deeper impact of serious illness and the importance of holistic healthcare. Every individual is different, and ensuring there is a whole person approach to care enables those living through cancer to manage the deeply personal challenge of diagnosis. Holistic therapies complement clinical pathways and support patients’ ability to maintain their wellbeing, resilience and quality of life during an exceptionally difficult time.  

We have an opportunity to reshape what the future of holistic cancer care looks like, enabling more people, nationwide, to access the kind of personalised support that can help make a meaningful difference during and after medical treatment.

This challenge will support the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, helping to transform access to, and understanding of, holistic care that will enhance recovery and healing for patients across the UK.

Healing, whether personal or collective, is not just about fixing what is wrong. It is about finding balance in how we live. Between effort and acceptance, between control and trust, between thinking and simply being. Because in the end, bravery isn’t just about pushing forward. It is about knowing how to stay grounded, connected and present, no matter the terrain, or landscape you are walking through.

Together, we can stand alongside everyone navigating life with cancer, ensuring no one faces this disease feeling unseen or unsupported.

Please know you are not alone.

Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.
