As much as Kate and Carole only want G/C/L to marry aristos, the aristo set have them sussed out. They know what kind of person Kate is (as well as her mother), and will be damned in they allow her to become their kids' mother-in-law. They'll loathe her the same way they do Camilla. She will the reason that the cycle repeats and the Wales kids—or at least George—can't find spouses either.

Mother Hyacinth and Baby Wisteria are status anxiety incarnate. Think of reports of how they've behaved toward palace staff, and look at how they behave at events. Grinning and fake laughing maniacally at nothing when no one else around them is, desperate to be seen and venerated... they'll want George to marry an aristo girl but heaven help her if she is beautiful, smart, charismatic, hard-working or any combination of those. Kate will not tolerate being outshone, and those of you who remember her lunging at Meghan at Liz's funeral know she can get *vicious*.

Aristo daughters have status and money, and no need to marry into a brutal institution that is facing severely diminished popularity and already murdered a beloved one of their own. They don't need a bullying, hypercritical mother-in-law or grandmother-in-law that will make their daughters' lives miserable by launching press attacks against them or depriving them of adequate security just because they committed the unforgivable sin of being good at their job and outperforming someone whose laziness is unmatched.

Now that the Sussex children are a target for the nut jobs, the comment from u/Minute-Mushroom-5710 reminded me of this passage from Harry’s Spare. The last sentence on this page. 😕

They ignore credible threats. They ignore their protests. It will never be enough for the haters. The Palaces won’t call off their attack dogs.

This is Diana all over again. So many echoes in the lead up to her death. 😞

Prince Louis Is Emerging as the Royal Family’s Ultimate ‘Secret Weapon,’ Insiders Claim

>Prince Louis may be the youngest of the Prince and Princess of Wales’ three children, but royal insiders reportedly believe he’s quickly becoming one of the monarchy’s greatest assets. Following his recent appearance at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow alongside his family, royal watchers were smitten with the eight-year-old, who delighted the crowd with his cheerful personality and unmatched cuteness. Now, palace insiders are seemingly embracing Louis’ natural charisma. Insiders told Rob Shuter on Naughty But Nice that the palace views him as an important part of the monarchy’s future, with a senior source reportedly noting, “Louis is media gold. You can’t manufacture that kind of charisma.”

>They added, “He genuinely loves meeting people, lights up in a crowd, and never looks like he’s performing. What you see is exactly who he is.” Meanwhile, another insider reportedly described the young prince as “the Crown’s secret weapon,” explaining that each of Prince William and Princess Kate’s children brings something different to the table and they are all sincerely valuable for the royal family’s future. Highlighting all of their unique personalities, a source close to the royal family explained, “George represents duty. Charlotte brings confidence. But Louis? He brings joy. Within seconds, he can make people smile, and that’s an extraordinary gift for a modern royal.”

>The report claims the Palace sees value in allowing the public to watch the Wales children gradually grow into their royal roles. Rather than shielding them entirely from public life, William and Middleton have carefully selected family appearances, striking a balance between protecting their children’s privacy and preparing them for future responsibilities. As another palace insider noted, “The Palace believes familiarity builds trust. People feel like they’ve watched these children grow up, and that connection matters.”

>In fact, another source reported that, despite his growing popularity, insiders insist Kensington Palace has no intention of overexposing the young royal. They explained, “This wasn’t a one-off. The Palace knows exactly what it has in Prince Louis, and you’ll be seeing a lot more of him in the years ahead.” While Prince William and Princess Kate remain committed to giving all three of their children as normal a childhood as possible, the report suggests Prince Louis’ effortless ability to connect with the public could make him one of the royal family’s most valuable ambassadors in the years to come.

yes. the "secret weapon" is 8 year child.

and they used to say the same things about prince harry,

Can‘t find the now scrubbed article on Prince William trespassing on somebody else’s land, but found this gem instead. 🪶 (second screenshot)

The “asset“ who doesn’t work is actually a liability. It’s upside down world and embiggening time again for lazy Kate.

Quite a good representative of rats (a colony? a plague? a swarm?) in the article: Nicholl, Chard, Bedell Smith, Fitzwilliams, Fordwich, Mayer.

Thought Charles’ first duty was to the nation and the people who fund him (like what his mother said at her accession speech), not to the lazy two.

“William is the one carrying an ever-growing share of the actual work and popularity of the monarchy.”

😂😅🤣

“And what can William and Kate do? Not much, if we’re honest, until William is King.”

WORK, EMILY, WORK!!!

Scooter boy needs to have a massive dose of the Protestant work ethic which made Britain great.

So if Willy and Lazy feel defeated and humiliated, all I can say is good, and may they feel more of it. Hope they’re shamed into doing more royal “work” instead of idling, holidaying and backstabbing.

”There is still huge mistrust between the Sussexes and Buckingham Palace.”

I’m sure the feeling’s mutual. The Sussexes aren’t as stupid as the Wales’s.

I posed the question about where Uncle Gary was in another thread - and the Daily Rats listened without fail!

So it looks like while Murdoch owns William, Rothermere owns the Middletons. Which manages the Palace leak succession for Rothermere. Carole’s more than an adequate replacement for Camilla when Chuck croaks.

Oh leaky leak, the Palaces are ruled by press barons while the public pays for them. 💦

Now, we know how these things go. If you want a drama-free transition, you don’t announce a resignation or sacking on a MONDAY. You do it on a FRIDAY afternoon 😂

Why? Because the news cycle has the rest of the week to digest and to analyse this story.

And I think Clive has been placed out there - the modern equivalent of being hung, drawn and quartered.

It’s messy, it’s Shakespearean, it’s Machiavellian and Clive is getting a taste of his own medicine he has meted out over the last two decades.

There are several suspects I have in mind on who did the final push - Camilla’s rat, Toby; and/or Clive’s successor Theo.

But could it be Chuck himself? Though he does pride himself on having clean hands.

Anyway, Clive should have plenty of time to write his books - both fiction and non-fiction 😂 Dickie Arbiter lost it when he got dismissed from QE2’s household and became undignified, so I suspect Clive will avoid the talking rat circuit.

Removing Clive may well appease Harry, but it gives Willy a huge advantage and Willy may hire him if Jason can live with it. But perhaps, Clive’s ego is such, that he wouldn’t want to take orders from the idle parasites.

Re: photo, that’s him in his smarmy patronising stance showing Zelenskyy the way to Chuck. Pure waspy behaviour.
