Ever since Prince Harry RSVP’d to the coronation, Prince William has been flagrantly briefing the British media about his plans to snub his brother. William is “still furious with Harry,” you see, and William, as always, remains “irate” about all things Sussex. William planned to ignore Harry. William planned to never speak to Harry again. William will never, ever forgive Harry. William won’t even LOOK at Harry! Story after story, briefing after briefing, all about how much William hates the brother he physically assaulted. Now that Harry has outed William’s secret settlement from News Group Newspapers, suddenly the story is “how could Harry do this, Harry is destroying any chance to reconcile with William!!!” I sh-t you not.
The Duke of Sussex appears to have scuppered any hope of a reconciliation with his brother at the Coronation after claiming in court documents that the Prince of Wales received a secret payment from Rupert Murdoch’s company over phone hacking.
Prince William received a “huge sum” as part of a private settlement for being a victim of hacking, Prince Harry alleged in High Court papers made public on Tuesday as part of his case against the owners of the News of the World and The Sun. The payment, which the Telegraph understands was around £1 million, proves the existence of a “secret agreement” made between the Royal household and News Group Newspapers (NGN), made in part to help rehabilitate the Queen, the Duke claimed.
It is understood Prince William was completely unaware of the contents of his brother’s statement until it was made public just 12 days before the Coronation, when they will be reunited for the first time since the late Queen’s funeral.
The revelation of the secret payment will only serve to drive a deeper wedge between them. Sources close to both the Sussexes and the Waleses indicated that they did not expect any rapprochement when Prince Harry flies to the UK for the Coronation on May 6.
The Duke alleges that “NGN still settled [the Prince of Wales’] claim for a huge sum of money in 2020”. NGN denied any secret agreement with the palace. A spokesman offered no comment on the settlement. Although there are thought to have been negotiations with NGN in the run-up to Prince William’s settlement, royal sources have denied the existence of a formal pact.
So the Telegraph got the information about the size of William’s settlement how? £1 million is a lot more than most hacking victims received, although I would argue that William probably deserved much more. If only William had sued the Sun/NGN and been brave enough to testify in open court, he probably would have gotten much more. Of course, that would exposed all kinds of backroom deals between William, Kate, Charles, Camilla and the British media. As for Harry and William’s relationship – as I said, William had already made it abundantly clear that he’s too immature, too unwell, too compromised, too petty, too incandescent with rage to make peace with his only brother. Harry said okay and btw, FAFO.

Harry is planning to go right home
He needs to steer clear.of william.will is a lost cause.
Agreed, and from Spare and the promos and now this filing, I feel that Harry knows William is gone. I’m sure he is sad about that. How could he not be? It was clear throughout Spare that Harry loves Charles. I also think that Charles – an emotionally stunted man – loves Harry in his own way. And by that I mean the way he was taught by his parents, which is to prioritize literally everything above your child. But William? Nope. It’s over. And you just know there is more. We still have that text message from the Netflix series that so upset H&M. I want to know what it said.
It just that text message but all of the texts, voicemails and nasty comments Harry has received from his brother basically since birth. Can you imagine the abusive mess he has been subjected to from his brother
it’s so predictable but also still disappointing that basically all UK media (aside from the guardian) is taking this information and sacting as defenders of the monarchy and spinning this into only a family fight to make harry again the villain. if only they could thoughtfully discuss – hey what are the implications of public money, of public discourse, of media, of trust between the public and the monarchy – what about the prince of wales so blatantly putting his interests ahead of the interests of the people of his country.
By my count, that’s Willie’s 2,587,908,387th last straw.
I know right? I needed a laugh today.
My thoughts exactly. The gaslighting tank grows emptier and dimmer every time one of these stories comes out.
Geez, Wills is a big sook, now that he has been exposed, every which-way. All the underhanded deals that have been done over the years that he and Charles thought they was so clever to orchestrate and then obfuscate… They have shown themselves to be what we always thought they were – a pair of privileged spoilt too-rich man-babies, who can’t handle when reality hits. Wills has issued all these emotional threats that are getting more numerous by the day.. Eepeating all this garbage keeps it fresh in the press to continue to demonize Harry in Britain.
What wills fails to realize is that when Harry concludes his business in England, he will go back to his happy life in California raise his family and do his work and probably continue to collect accolades. He and Meghan will do work that is meaningful for them. Wills’ guts are constantly churning with the rage. He carries inside him, but he is actually impotent and knows there is very little he can do about his brother, beyond issuing his childish, emotional threats. Wills is stuck now. This is going to be his life until it’s his turn to wear the crown, if that day ever comes. He and his wife don’t look all that happy, but then they wouldn’t be the first Royal couple to have a loveless marriage.
They pushed Harry out and he got out and made a life elsewhere in the sunshine and they don’t like that Because he was meant to come crawling back to the fold after a year or so of playing independent Duke.
You must have plenty of bridges on the salty isle, another one is burning! LOL
Yup, and all the olive branches have been used up. Maybe for kindling to burn the bridges? Who knows.
🤣🤣🤣
Or one could say, William’s secret settlement in 2020, that aided NGN in all their other phone hacking cases with members of the public, ruins any chances of reconciliation with Harry. Seems like a matter of perspective. How dare Harry be against phone hacking!
Thats one of the things that people are outraged on on SM that Cains deal potentially had an effect on the others who had cases against the paper for phone hacking – remember one of the victims was a young girl who had been murdered (Millie Dowler).
There is no coming back for either of the Wails – their brand is done and no amount of ‘keep calm and carry on’ will save it.
Good.
Exactly. The BM is proving a pact with the spin they put on every story. A balanced report would examine all angles.
The corruption at the highest levels of the Crown and Her Majesty’s government requires an investigation. Did the Prime Minister sanction this agreement and what other information of a government nature was implicated, discussed and revealed? This isn’t just a private agreement it is an agreement by the British Crown to forego litigation of secrets and other information that might be deleterious to the efficiency and reliability and reputations of Her Majesty. Who knew what snd when did they know it snd would it affect judgement and subject someone of note to blackmail
Apparently the settlement is thought to be around £1mill and he is being burned on SM – I wonder what else Harry will drop about his brother and his dealings with the tabloids. He has the tea and receipts, Cain and Unable better watch out.
Harry knows his relationship with his brother will never be normal or functional hence why I think he is focusing on his relationship with his father.
Charles already sold out Harry. Harry is apparently not as trusting of his father as he used to be to pit it mildly. Charles planning the coronation on Archie birthday. The frogmore debacle and Charles not saying a word when j a b b a talked of Archie being dangled from balcony.
Agreed @tessa. I think he knows how stunted and complicit his family is, particularly his father and brother. There will be no love lost between any of them.
charles picked his nasty side-piece over his son. those royals truly are in-bred imbeciles. thank goodness for Diana’s gene pool.
Last week everyone including me kept saying all the bad press was to start the push to divorce Kate. I wonder after this if Kate is ready to divorce William before he gets everything taken away from him. If she was smart she would before there isn’t any money for her to get in a divorce.
Why do they even try to write these stories as if Harry wants to reconcile with William? I know they live in an alternate reality when it comes to the Sussexes, but what about all of these lawsuits, Meghan not coming to the coronation, and Harry dipping in and out and describing his relationship as space with his brother make you think he cares? I think the media is getting really worried. They were before but now I think they realize the shine is definitely off for the Wales’ and their kids and doesn’t gather the interest it once did. I barely heard a peep about those birthday pics. This summer is going to be wild between KP and BP with leaked stories.
Once Harry ties up the loose ends with this lawsuit and the fancy hat parade, he can peace out and let William and Charles actively go to war with each other. Right now, they should be giving him a pay out for being an interesting distraction.
William and Charles already seem to be at war to me, with the royal racist letters leak. I just wonder who will destroy whom first.
In my opinion, William is both stupid and slow. He doesn’t stand a chance.
So true. Pegs seems like an incredibly dim bulb.
Maybe William should have behaved better.
With #PrinceWilliamExposed trending on Twitter, it seems more people are picking up on this story
I don’t think Harry really gives a sh!t at this point.
Harry is finally waking up to the levels of abuse incl financial abuse his family perpetuated on him.
William literally made a deal with Murdoch that he’d be untouchable but that Harry would be game. And even stopped him suing to maintain the rules of engagement of Harry as spare and also to stop Harry gaining compensation to leave.
The whole thing is so sickening.
Also Charles has effectively done the same thing. He was aware of his brothers predelictions but waited until his mother had begun to decline and then resurrected Andrews case when he became defacto Regent and was making his bid for Kingship.
Disgusting people.
William, he’s just not that into you.
The way I laughed when I read this. A++ would cackle again. Cheers for that, Shawna!
To Mary Pester ‘cause we know she’ll be reading: Lots of love to you from all of us, we know it’s hard right now. Whenever strength allows, if you’d allow us to donate to a cherished cause in your honor, just pipe up on any thread and let us know what/where. ❤️
(And friends, it’d be lovely if you can help amplify anything she says whenever and wherever it pops up – it may be difficult for her to post much right now. Thanks!)
I will be sure to do that. I hope she is doing well and staying positive. Many well wishes for you Mary Pester!
❤️ to MP
Sure, will do the same. Many well wishes and hugs to Mary Pester from Texas!
I would love to do something like that! Huge hugs to you Mary Pester!
Huge hugs to Mary Pester. Take care of you and know we’re all thinking of you and sending positive thoughts and prayers your way.
Big love to you, Mary Pester.
Oh no
I do believe in his heart of hearts Harry would like a brother relationship with William and a father relationship with his father as he has indicated on multiple occasions. But I do believe in his heart of hearts he has had to accept this is not going to happen and is not looking for William to talk to him at the coronation. I believe Integrity is far too important to Harry to sacrifice that for a relationship with his father and brother. I also believe both William and Charles are far too compromised to ever be able to accept Harry now. I expect this relationship is done now because Harry has chosen the right path, the correct path in getting accountability for the trauma he and his wife were subjected to. I continue to wish the Sussexes well.
Harry won’t even see his family at the coronation. He will see them across the room while it happens. But he will stay somewhere safe away from them before. And will slip out into a car when its over and leave without ever being close to them. At least that’s what I hope will happen for his own safety.
The fact that Harry was not sticking around after the coronation should have been the clue that he wasn’t going for a reconciliation.
I do hope Harry will be safe when he comes to the UK for the coronation, a lot of people are going to be cross with him. He’s so brave, doing the right thing. I feel like this is the tip of the iceberg and the revelations will only gain momentum as we go…
I honestly believe he’ll be totally safe during the coronation (at least physically). The last thing Charles wants is anything overshadowing his big moment. Although I’m sure there will be endless attempts to pull some shady shit from the moment Harry steps foot on British soil until his airplane exits UK airspace.
@Snuffles, I’m not worried about him being at the coronation, I’m worried about when he goes home to the US. Diana was safe in London!!!
@Snuffles. That’s my fear too, that William or Charles will order some harm to come to Harry while he’s in London. I still believe that Diana’s death is on KFC’s hands. William hates Harry to the point of madness, it seems. Mad men are capable of anything.
@MaryPester, it’s good to see you here posting. 😊
Hard agree with Beverley.
Said something to this effect on another thread, but: Harry knows he’s walking into a lions den, and both he and Meghan think strategically and keep receipts. I hope it never comes to this and they all stay safe, but it wouldn’t surprise me if there’s a devastating contingency plan: if something happens to anyone in the Sussex family, Oprah gets the unabridged 800-page manuscript of Spare, keys to a safety deposit box with ALL the evidence, etc. Or something even better.
Harry is smart enough to have a Dead Man’s Switch to keep Meghan and the kids protected should anything happen to him. I just hope it never has to be used.
Mary Pester, you’re posting. See above where there’s a post to you. I agree that Harry will be safe in the UK–they’re not that stupid. If his travels arrangements aren’t leaked, he’ll be back home before anyone knows it.
I’m so happy that you feel well enough to post. Keep fighting the good fight!
It’s been interesting to see the royalists twist themselves in knots trying to explain why William took hush money from the Sun. It’s clear that William had not moved on as they had claimed and wanted restitution as much as Harry does.
Projection again when in all reality it’s Harry that should be the one that’s upset about all the crap the Peg has done to him and Meg. Harry I believe is still just moving on.
Hahaha sure William sure!
But for real I think once William realizes that his attempts to destroy Harry are actually destroying him he’ll come running back to Harry.
Just watch!! Those briefing about William being stately and the bigger person are gonna be real funny after years of incandescent with rage.
All of this will push more people to want to abolish the monarchy. And if that happens, which I hope for. William will run to Harry to try to figure out how to live when everybody doesn’t bow down to him. It will take him awhile. Because he won’t want to admit he was wrong. But him not being a prince and then spouting off to someone and they punch him in the nose. Or throw eggs at him. He will high tail it to California to get advice. Just don’t know if Harry will give it or not.
I know this is a gossip site but at this point I think we have to admit that media is complicit. Monarchy, Scotus, Media, Politicians, conglomerates all appear so corrupt. It’s nice to see some downfall and exposure happening
The Monarchy coverage here has been great
Thanks Celebitchy and crew
Madchester, I agree that there is a lot of collusion going on with the media a big part of it. The best we all can do is to have a loud voice and VOTE. I think in the US there are going to be bigger and bigger protests.
The media needs to shown to be the propaganda tool that they are. Harry has taken on a huge effort with exposing the UK media. It’s not going to be pretty, and I think the only advice I have for the brf is, “brace, brace, brace.”
The crackhead commenters at the DM are now playing the “Royalty equals Privacy” card, while guzzling up all the stories about KCIII suitcases and Andrew’s payment to Virginia. They’re so embarrassing.
The comments on DM are not real. They’re just propaganda written by DM journalists and bots to make readers think that is what middle England think.
And bc DM online is free it has been such an effective tool.
I really hope that the USA bans the US version of the DM as it has also become really popular of late. If you don’t want the problems we have please get rid of it now….
Instead of the focus being on William’s corrupt bargain with Murdoch, The Telegraph chooses to tell us for the gazillionth time that William is so raged up that he will never, ever, ever, have anything to do with Harry again. There’s just no coming back from this horrible betrayal, they say repeatedly, in case you missed them all the other times.
Isn’t this the 2843748373th ruined attempt at reconciliation?
This all feels very “you can’t fire me, I QUIT!” Harry does not want a reconciliation with William at this point* so how william feels about it is all just a moot point anyway
*Do I think harry wants a reconciliation with William in general? I’m not sure anymore. a year ago i would have said “yes” but knowing that “reconciliation” would mean William acknowledging his actions, accepting how they hurt H&M and changing his behavior, things that would never happen anyway. But at this point Harry may have closed the door on William altogether.
@Becks1, this is my take too. I think things are too far gone. William continues to brief and rage against the Sussexes. Harry knows his brother best, he knows his issues (maybe even serious medical issues), and Harry’s likely aware that his racist brother could never, ever take accountability and apologize to Meghan. He’s probably already made peace with permanent estrangement from Will.
Wank— I am never speaking to you again Harold. This is the final straw. Infact straws are forever banned from you.
Harry__SPACE BALDIMORT SPACE.
Wank——why can’t he ever remember I am the other brother and I demand acknowledgment,
Harry———————————
Oh dear, prince peg has been outed 😂, in more ways than one. Wonder if the incandescent one has burst a blood vessel yet or is screaming around the Palace trying to find out who had the nerve to give Harry access to this information. Answer is YOU DID BULLYAM, you shared an office with your brother not only that, there is a paper trail that Harry’s solicitors would have had access to during discovery. You pampered little rage monster, get over yourself. You have been caught out. You took the pennies now pay the price. Harry couldn’t give two stuffs if your done with him. Because he has been done with you for years. Go cry to daddy and camzilla, then when they go red in the face, you will see that they KNEW this was coming out. Your allies are falling by the wayside and your on your own some ha!
Thank you all for your good wishes. I’m home, but unable to complete the trial due to a bad reaction to the new drug combination, but never mind, no more possible treatment for me, but hopefully it gave the doctors a few signposts
Yes, William got his hand caught in the cookie jar so time to reap the repercussions. Diana would be so totally ashamed of him and how he threw his brother to the wolves for his 30 pieces of silver. Sorry that the trial didn’t go well for you, Mary, but it’s good to see you back on the boards again. Hopefully the doctors will benefit from your participation.
I planted two peony bushes this morning. They were called Patience and Love. I renamed them Mary and Pester. One of them is pink, the other bright white. I wish you well, Mary.
@LADY D, that is so lovely of you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I absolutely LOVE PEONY X
Hugs to you Mary ❤
I really hope the tabloids turn on WanK and the vile C’s once this is done and dusted. They must be sitting on a treasure trove of scandals, and now that Harry’s opened up Pandora’s Box they’ll want their pound of flesh.
Sending you a virtual hug Mary Pester!
I’m glad you’re home, Mary. Hugs.
Mary Pester, I wonder if KFC has been expecting this? You gotta wonder. I agree with you that Fails should have expected this to come out. There was no way it could be hidden. I love that for him.
I’m glad you’re home. I hope you have a lovely view from your window. Hugs.
So nice to see you post, Mary Pester. 😊💜
Hugs, Mary Pester ❤️
“(R)oyal sources have denied the existence of a formal pact…” to delay settlement/apology with the express purpose of undermining others’ hacking claims in court.
What about an “informal” pact? You know, like the “invisible contract” with the Press?
It is stunning to me that the British Media does not recognize that Prince Harry has feelings too. Why is it so difficult to acknowledge that Prince Harry has been done wrong ALL of his life? Why is it that Prince Harry is expected to kow-tow to Charles, William, Camilla and Kate? I am SO glad that he kept his wedding vows-the forsaking all other part- and got his beautiful wife and family out of dodge. I hope Prince Harry feels like Spring and Summer for the rest of his days!
For an heir to the throne to sell out for £1 million is just pathetic. It also makes me think that William really must’ve reached peak Scooby Doo villain when Meghan won her case – not only did she win despite him sending his little minion to help the other side, but I’m sure her payout made his look like chump change. The public might not know for sure how much she got, but I’m sure he does. Just shaking his fists at the sky, incandescent at yet another loss. That’s why the war against the Sussexes rages on, despite them leaving the UK – Will and his dad just can’t stop taking Ls, and with every embarrassment they blame the Sussexes even more and the campaign continues. Finish him, Harry!
I don’t believe its only 1 million pounds. ANy one know Who exactly was the first “reporter” to quote that specific amount? i saw one of the rota (that woman camillia?) say 1 million yesterday in a article.
why would William sell out himself for only 1 million let alone “Harold” who he hates. ?
*IF* that was the amount, it wouldn’t have been all he got. Meaning, say he made a deal with The Sun to feed them info about Harry/Meghan, stop Harry from filing charges, and The Sun also stopped sniffing around William’s many affairs.
At the heart of this sad state of affairs is self-interest even at the expense of even a close relative. Now that Harry has chosen to move beyond the abusive relationship with his unaware brother, the leak is about a threat and projection of William’s emotions on Harry.
It is clear that Harry does not want to be a part of a toxic relationship with his brother, that is the only scenario as present so there will be no reconciliation.
He has trampled on his brother with no regard to his feelings, but to collude with people like Murdoch.
Now the cover is blown and once again we have headline evidence of the kind of journalistic operation that is run by the 92-year-old billionaire: it does dreadful things, it covers them up and when cornered it buys its way out.
“In the US, Murdoch journalists told lies that assisted an attempted coup d’état. In the UK, Murdoch journalists, illegally and for well over a decade, tapped into the mobile voicemails of everyone who was in the news – up to and including very senior members of the royal family.
It’s an ugly picture, lending weight to the view that Murdoch is more like a Mafia boss than a person who is, in the legal phrase, ‘fit and proper’ to oversee a news media organisation.”
This is an excerpt from “News of William’s hacking payout reminds us what kind of operation Rupert Murdoch runs” by Brian Cathcart.
He is the future constitutional Head of State dealing with the media in this manner and his response is this…
What a joke!!
I’m still gobsmacked that the message to the UK is ‘it’s ok to break the law and be utterly amoral as long as no one ever finds out? Disgusting.
