The ‘targeted hate campaign’ against the Middletons will lead to increased security

Carole and Michael Middleton haven’t been seen at any public events since their business collapsed in late May and early June. Party Pieces fell deeply in debt, owing creditors, banks and local businesses over £2.6 million. Carole and Michael Middleton have refused to pay Party Pieces’ debts, and so they’ve spent the past five months hiding out in their £5 million manor home in Bucklebury. Which is probably why two different “malicious poster campaigns” have sprung up in the village. Someone has gone around, posting laminated fliers all around town, criticizing the Middletons for not paying their debts. Then last week, a second poster campaign began – a woman named Molly has posted fliers all over the village, saying that because Party Pieces screwed over so many local vendors, she was fired and had to turn to Only Fans to make money. Throughout this saga, we’ve been told repeatedly that villagers think the poster campaigns are awful. Now the Sun claims that Bucklebury might invest in some additional security to stop people from hanging up fliers about the con artist Middletons.

Villagers are seeking volunteers to boost security and help net poster pests targeting the Princess of Wales’s parents. More helpers are wanted to take part in Neighbourhood Watch schemes.

Several positions are up for grabs in the West Berkshire village of Bucklebury — home to Kate’s parents Carole and Michael Middleton and her sister Pippa’s farm.

An ad in next month’s edition of the parish magazine says: “We are looking for more people to set up or fill Neighbourhood Watch schemes.”

It lists the streets with vacant positions.

One local said: “We need to catch whoever is doing this. While posters on trees may seem harmless, falling victim to a targeted hate campaign must feel intimidating for the Middletons.”

The Sun told yesterday how scores of posters of a scantily clad OnlyFans model were pinned to trees and telegraph poles. The Middletons have faced a malicious campaign since their Party Pieces business went under this summer with £2.6million in debts. The OnlyFans model, named Molly, 23, claimed she asked pals to put up the posters. She said she turned to stripping online after allegedly being let go by a company she claims was left out of pocket when Party Pieces went bust.

[From The Sun]

“Falling victim to a targeted hate campaign must feel intimidating for the Middletons…” This is not a “targeted hate campaign.” It’s a form of nonviolent activism against two local, civilian bigwigs who screwed over local businesses and left a trail of financial destruction in their wake. A “targeted hate campaign” was what Carole Middleton orchestrated against the Duchess of Sussex in 2018 and 2019. Much of that hate campaign came from the Windsors, of course, but Carole was running her own operation out of Bucklebury too, which makes this even more pointed. Carole’s reputation has collapsed alongside her financial house of cards. Everything about Kate’s shady origin story is in question. Carole can’t come back from any of this, no matter how many dumb “neighborhood watch” groups are put together. What are they going to do if they catch the people hanging the fliers?

    The tables are turning. I have my popcorn ready!

    There are quite a few news-worthy stories out now exposing people for who they really are. The Middletons will not be the exception. We are now in the truth-telling era.

    • Concern Fae says:

      I’m loving it! So Agatha Christie! There was a wave of poison pen letter writing cases in the early 20th century and they became common as plot drivers in mystery novels. Of course, there’s only one person getting the attention here and they are truthful. But it still feels very much like one of those murder in the village shows.

      Here’s a link to an episode of the SheDunnit podcast on poison pen letter cases, including links to novels and articles about real life cases: https://shedunnitshow.com/poisonpen/

      • Nic919 says:

        I saw Wicked Little Letters with Olivia Coleman and it is based on a real life poison pen situation. Excellent film and worth watching when it comes out.

  2. theRobinsons says:

    Instead of paying for increased security… pay off their creditors and the threats of hanging posters will most likely end. Common sense.

    • Delphine says:

      This is a good point but I don’t think the extra security is being paid. It looks like they’re all volunteers.

      • EggplantPeggie says:

        Let’s hope the ORGANIZERS of the Middleton publicity WILL VOLUNTEER to be ON THE WATCH! And let’s hope they get paid! LOL

    • Becks1 says:

      they’re not even paying for the increased security though! The town is asking for volunteers!

    • EggplantPeggie says:

      If there is any security paid, we need to know who is footing the bill, if they are – why not pay your debt like you said @TheRobinson instead of paying for security and if cash ends up being public, let’s see how they explain the expense!!! The audacity! I hope no commoner peasant volonteers will sign up for this BS – seriously???

  3. Agreed this is not a hate Champaign this is a pay your debts you lousy royal cult adjacent grifters. A hate Champaign is what was done to Meg. I bet the villagers have better things to do than look out for people putting up posters demanding money be returned to them.

  4. Shawna says:

    More free labor for the Middletons, got it.

    • Deering24 says:

      Now, now–the same gazillion folks who signed up to ring bells for Charles’ coronation will be lining up for this, no? 🤣😈

  5. ML says:

    “An ad in next month’s edition of the parish magazine says: “We are looking for more people to set up or fill Neighbourhood Watch schemes.””

    The parish magazine ad makes it sound like a certain type of person has issues with the posters.

  6. Jais says:

    I wonder if the next time we see the Middletons in public it will be at Kate’s Christmas Carole thing? That’s gonna be interesting. Imagine if posters ended up there?

  7. Becks1 says:

    Oh the poor targeted Middletons, someone is putting up posters stating……facts. Poor Carole!!!

    And they’re asking for volunteers, not even paying additional security, lol.

    • ML says:

      Unless they’re channeling the plot for Hot Fuzz.

      • Becks1 says:

        It really does seem like this is Hot Fuzz, Part 2.

        or maybe the groundwork for an episode of Midsomer Murders…..the neighborhood watch gets too big for its britches, they form a mob and kill the person they suspect of putting up the posters only to find its someone trying to take the posters down…..Barnaby comes in to save the day….

      • ML says:

        😁Which Barnaby?

      • Becks1 says:

        @ML I can’t help it, my heart lies with Tom, lol.

      • ML says:

        Mine too, Becks1☺️

    • Nic919 says:

      If they were damaging town property when putting up the posters I could see the issue, but the content of the posters is the truth. That’s why the police aren’t involved either because it’s not a crime to put posters complaining about a business that got out of paying its debts.

      • Green girl says:

        Good point, Nic. I can’t tell if the village is upset more by the damage (however slight) to property and the village’s reputation OR if it’s out of loyalty to the Middletons. Would they circle the wagons if this campaign happened to a random other family in the area?

        I am really interested in how the family is perceived in the village.

    • Cessily says:

      Saving my sympathy for those struggling because of the Middletons lies and greediness. I hope billboards pop up soon, what the Middletons have done is heartless.

    • VilleRose says:

      There’s nothing sexist, homophobic, racist, xenophobic, anti-Semitic, ableist etc. (you get my drift!) in these posters. The posters aren’t threatening the Middletons with violence or harm and I wouldn’t be on the poster’s side if they were advocating for it. If they were, I’m sure a police investigation would be underway. Is it traumatic and embarrassing for the Middletons? Sure. But I don’t think it qualifies as defamation since it’s the truth. Sometimes the truth hurts more than lies.

    • Eurydice says:

      And from the way the article is written – Seeking volunteers, positions are up for grabs, looking for more people, streets with vacant positions – it doesn’t sound like people are clamoring to volunteer.

  8. Amy Bee says:

    This sounds like a made up story plus the Sun is probably the ones behind the “targeted campaign”.

  9. aquarius64 says:

    William is sanctioning these articles. He’s punishing the Middletons for being duped into marrying a woman from a duplicitous background. The family has fallen out of royal favor.

    • Digital Unicorn says:

      Yeah – the fact that these story is NOT going away is very telling in itself. They have lost royal favour, esp from William. He is neither protecting them or his own wife.

      The knives really came out for them after the Jordanian royal wedding – there is footage on SM of Ma, Pippa and her husband mugging it up at one of the evening receptions. They were spotted in the live broadcast a few times. People tried to make out that the Mids were friends with the Jordanian RF because they once lived in Jordan but the reality is that they were there through James Matthews who IS a family friend of the Jordanians as they reportedly holiday regularly at his family’s resort in St Barts. I think it was James who got Ma her plus one and not the Wails.

      • Becks1 says:

        It is very interesting on a few levels, isn’t it?

        That the middletons company was allowed to go into administration at all in this fashion- one would have thought Charles would have least paid off the debts just so the company could be sold or whatever without this embarrassment – he may hate carole and the middletons but this is a bad look for Kate, who is supposedly the future queen and you would think someone in the firm would want to protect her from this. So very interesting that no one seems to feel that it is necessary.

        And then, debts aside, the fact that these stories are being run with some regularity is also very telling. oh sure its in the guise of “oh these posters!!! they’re so awful!” but they’re sure repeating the facts of the Middleton’s bankruptcy over and over again, arent they?

    • Sarah Westwood says:

      I’m loving it – karma

  10. SarahCS says:

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this episode of Midsomer Murders is shaping up to be GREAT. I’m also getting Vicar of Dibley vibes thinking about Parish Council meetings.

    • Deering24 says:

      Not to mention Father Brown. Or Death In Paradise. 🤣 Swear to God, these episodes practically are writing themselves.

      • Lucky Charm says:

        @DEERING24, “these episodes practically are writing themselves.” especially fortuitous given that there’s currently a writers strike.

  11. Mslove says:

    What are the volunteers gonna do? Dress in black & skulk around all night? This is hilarious. I hope the poster prowler ups his or her game and rents a billboard so everyone will see Carole’s shame.

  12. Lovely says:

    It’s funny how the Middleton conman family gets security for stealing money, while the son and family of the king doesn’t. Getting sick of all these double standards!

  13. Vanessa says:

    The nerve of these disgusting people Carol Middleton is not a victim of a hate campaign it is absurdity. Meghan continues to this day to be a victim of hate campaign Carol Middleton helped bully harass torment Meghan . This is a truth campaign this is karma coming for the Middleton for years they build themselves up as self made millionaires Carol used her status as the future king grandmother to get freebies and take advantage of every day actually hard working people.

  14. kelleybelle says:

    Now maybe they know how Meghan feels, the hypocritical social-climbing a-holes. Zero sympathy. CarolE was frothing at the mouth to let Tominey know that “Meghan made Kate cry.” These people are so sickenly evil and tone-deaf.

  15. The Duchess says:

    I’m sorry, but I find all of this to be completely hilarious. The chickens have truly come home to roost, Carole, now it’s time to pay the price! What I really want to know is where are her rich son-in-law’s? Not a peep from either of them? Surely you’d think Willy would come dashing in to at least provide some much needed ‘security’ for the grandparents of his children, right? I find his silence in particular to be extremely telling. He’s had enough of their grifting ways, just like he’s had enough of his erratic Meghan-obsessive wife.

    • Smart&Messy says:

      “Surely you’d think Willy would come dashing in to at least provide some much needed ‘security’ for the grandparents of his children, right?”

      Not if he doesn’t want the kids to be under Carole’s influence unsupervised. In that case, these stories come quite handy and sound a bit like Camilla’s shady approach.

  16. Lau says:

    Ah great we’ve entered the “we are the true victims in this story” of the PR campaign.

  17. Ginger says:

    The Middletons are so weak. They can’t handle even a little bit of bad press. I doubt the village is upset on the Middletons behalf, I don’t think they are that well liked. This is Carole being upset and ran to the tabloids calling it a “hate campaign” Meghan is the one that had a hate campaign. I’m glad Carole is getting hers. I hope it continues.

    • Unblinkered says:

      A typical English reaction to this would be to find it funny. The villagers are most likely highly amused that the Middletons have had their come-uppance.

  18. QuiteContrary says:

    LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

    This is too good.

  19. Libra says:

    Carole is looking very tired these days and photographs as appearing much older now. The tension in their home must be off the charts.

  20. Feebee says:

    If I was the poster fiend I’d simply join as a volunteer.

    This all seems a little silly. If the village is so supportive it only takes one person at time to remove a poster and move on with their day without making a huge song and dance about it.

  21. Cali says:

    The Middletons do not appear to be a particularly attractive family in the Christmas church. I hope the Wales children get their adult looks from another branch of the family tree.

  22. sammi says:

    The Middletons were granted planning permission (which would not have been allowed to anyone else) to build a ‘house’ in their grounds to host Security. They then sold that house for a big profit and moved to a larger establishment. Hey ho……..that’s how they work…Gifters.
