Robert Jobson’s latest royal book, Our King, has been widely and gleefully excerpted in the UK and America. In addition to being one of the most vile royal commentators, Jobson is pretty much devoted to spreading gossip straight from King Charles, Queen Camilla and their people. I had my doubts about that years ago, but I was wrong – everything coming out of Jobson’s mouth is explicitly or implicitly from C&C. Meaning, Charles and Camilla definitely want to push the Princess of Wales back, and the knives are out. It feels like C&C want to blame the larger Sussexit fallout on Kate in particular. Which is fascinating. But we shouldn’t sleep on the fact that Jobson also got some briefings about how Prince William is a short-tempered, impatient nutcase.
Prince William is not always the easiest person to work with, according to a new royal book.
“He can be difficult,” a senior royal household figure told author Robert Jobson for his recently released biography, “Our King: Charles III: The Man and the Monarch Revealed.“
“He is a driven person and that can make him impatient,” the source continued about the newly anointed Prince of Wales, 40.
The insider compared him to King Charles, 74, who apparently possesses more patience.
“That can make William short-tempered when dealing with Charles,” they added. “The Boss (Charles) has a temper, too, but it does not go on and on. He can get frustrated and flare up and then, in an instant, it is forgotten about. With William, it is rarely forgotten.”
Something interesting about Robert Jobson is that he churned out a biography of William last year, and he used much stronger language to describe William. In that book (William at 40), Jobson detailed how William can be “offhand and volatile” and that William has always lacked deference to his father, and that William was constantly losing his mind and throwing screaming tantrums in front of Charles and AT Charles. Jobson also reported in that book that everyone around William knows that he has a “notably short fuse” and he regularly screams at staff. But, you know, the Black duchess sent a jet-lagged email. Anyway… the Prince of Wales is “difficult.” A very Difficult Diva, always engorged with incandescent rage, always flying off the handle, always screaming and shrieking at everyone and everything. Oh, and he’s violent too.

- Britain’s Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge speak to employers, at the London Bridge Jobcentre, in London, Britain, September 15, 2020.
Williams driven? Driven to do what?
He is driven to cause hate and discontent to everyone around him especially his brother.
To get whatever he wants, of course.
Driven to return to the pub/rose gardening/couch to watch a match/back to bed to sleep it off.
Good question.
My first 😅.
All I can think of is “Clueless,” where Cher/William pouts, “I have direction.”
Let’s not insult Cher from Clueless in such a way. She was FAR more ambitious than Will. And didn’t throw temper tantrums.
Very good points, Ameerah.
Also, WIlliam doesn’t even have the option to go to the mall.
To tantrum regularly, as he is simply *turgid* with incandescent rage. 😑
Let’s be blunt about it: Workshy Wanderdick is patently unfit for the throne. He’s Kaiser Wilhelm levels of unhinged in the anger management department. He’s got Victoria’s genes, for sure.
The only thing William is driving is the monarchy, straight into the ground. Charles is digging the grave for it, William will plant it and add the headstone.
“Workshy Wonderdick“ is brilliant. Describes Pegs perfectly.
This gives me everlasting life!
That. Was. My. Absolute. First. Thought. Too.
Wtf is he driven to? Definitely isn’t being driven to therapy sessions. Quite sad actually. Anger is definitely ageing him something dreadful.
From William the Conqueror to William the Destroyer.
Driven to drive himself insane.
“He is a driven person and that can make him impatient.” Where is the evidence of that “drive”? He finally at 40 kind of halfway got involved with ES and halfway held an air ambulance job. It took him 10 years to marry the supposed love of his life. Where was that drive and impatience then? I like how he tries to spin that as positive for Will, but in Meghan any drive is slammed as ambition and being uppity. And where was that great patience of KC when pens wouldn’t obey him?
He’s “driven” to look better that Harry. I’m sure he’s screamed at people to come up with ways to make him look better and come up with vanity projects that make him look stately. And before that, when Charles controlled the purse strings, I’m sure he was “driven” to get the bulk of that money, over Harry.
Bill is being trashed now. C and c are apparently using Jobson to get their message out. Chuck backing will has had consequences.
It is about their work ethic, or lack of, hinted first in the fail at the exact time the king announced that he intends to also occupy Windsor Castle at least two days per week.
WanK should have realised C&C play the long game. Divide them of possible allies in the Sussexes and then take WanK down too. Kate goes down first.
Yup. All those asslicking articles in People mag abt KKKhate “Preparing to be Kweeen”……….the sidepiece was only biding her time to get back at KKKhate. And now the time has come.
Pass the popcorn!
@ Seaflower, I see this as the same scenario as well with WanK and Keen have been playing checkers, C&C have been playing chess. They have been played right into C&C’s hands which has brought about righting the wrongs that have been laid at C’s “anointed by God” feet.
Those countless articles of WanK and Keen having played loose and free with who should be the next heir exposed their utmost greatest betrayal. C&C are simply bringing down the well deserved hammer upon W&K. They have no one to blame but themselves into running these ridiculous stories to the chosen gutter rats to spread that message too.
This has Camilla’s fingerprints all over it and Chuck’s sign off.
The War of the Roses 2.0 is off to a fine start.
All William has to do is keep reminding people of how Camilla got to be Queen.
Chuck has no patience. Where is the investigation of employees dealing with bill and Chuck temper tantrums.
Boggles the mind that literally everyone, he’ll even William himself, speak of how his is constantly engorged with rage at literally everyone around him but they won’t dare label him a bully or launch an investigation into workplace bullying.
And I doubt Harry is the first person he’s physically assaulted. Harry is just the only one who called him out. I’m sure he’s assaulted countless people, including Kate, but people keep covering for him. One of these days he’s going to go too far and they won’t be able to cover it up.
When did these stories start cropping up? I mean I know there have always been stories about William and his temper, but I feel like there was a shift maybe 3-5 years ago where we started hearing consistently that he was incandescent with rage, loses his temper all the time, yells at staff, etc. It feels like we’re just hearing more and more about how awful he is behind the scenes.
It calls to mind that tweet about how the Financial Times reporter couldn’t wait until they could report freely on William. The press knows something big about him and i wonder if it ties directly into his temper.
I feel like the rota really went to town pre Sussexit, reporting on William’s anger at Harry and Meghan’s “stunts and antics” and framing it as something righteous and just. The good son, angry at the injustice being done to the family by the wayward son.
In hindsight there were stories of him as a child being nicknamed “Basher Wills”, and Diana calling him her little thug. Frequently having tantrums, Stories of him looking under a teacher’s skirt, threatening his classmates that he would send his Knights after them, there is even video of him smacking Charles upside the head repeatedly. Then there was his head injury/skull fracture at 8 after getting hit in the head with a golf club by a friend. They say it was an accident while playing but at this rate, I wouldn’t be surprised if the friend did it on purpose because he was being a bully.
But the stories have definitely picked up in the last 5 years.
I remember at the height of Live Aid, and Bob Geldof’s fame, Princess Diana invited him to KP and introduced him to William who turned around and said told Bob Geldof that he was dirty!
There is a Vanity Fair profile from… wait for it… 2003! 🙂
This one says “incandescent with anger”, but close enough!
We…e…ellll @Becks1, those quieted but persistent stories about (at least 2) dead bodies of females turning up on the grounds of Sandringham, suggest that they met with a violent encounter.
And not only does the perpetrator(s) remain unknown, but many questions remain unasked and unanswered.
Just saying.
oh I know there have been stories about his temper forever, it just feels like over the past few years the press is basically just saying the quiet part out loud. Like @Harper said, it seemed to really pick up speed with Sussexit in that his anger and temper became his sole identity.
@Kingston I know, I come back to those stories sometimes too. That would certainly be something the press would like to report on but would be blocked.
@ Kingston, I am unaware of these reports of two women having been found at the Sandringham estate. This bit of information is quite disturbing as The Met is always tooting it’s own horn for resolving cases…..
I am going to look this up as I have never heard about it. Thanks for the intriguing, and disturbing, information!!
Any head injury is serious. His was likely frontal /temporal and let me tell you from experience even ‘minor’ there is no minor head injury, causes huge changes with mood, lack of filter, temper, anger, violence you name it. I have a partner who had a minor head injury. Nothing minor. It also gets worse with age. And there’s a, real lack of filter which explains the weird things he blurts out. Of course he never got help for it. Pre existing anger issues makes it worse. H would know all this now as well. I’ve firmly believed for years this is why the H must be by his side talk happens. Also why he never was disciplined.
I wonder if there were some episodes in school where he had anger issues with other students. Of course the schools would cover that up.
Yes, he was constantly getting into fights and regularly threatening people, even his nanny.

There were mentions in Kenneth Rose’s diary about William turning into a spoilt brat back in the 1980s. K Rose was very close friends with the Queen Mother, the Duke of Kent, and Fergie. IIRC he felt Diana, the staff & family were too soft on William, whose behaviour was never corrected. Nobody ever expected Charles to be an involved parent.
@ Snuffles, many thanks for the article!! I was quite delighted by the comments referring the question of WanKs current behaviour now as well as how he hasn’t actually grown up since the age of 4. WanK is not looked upon too kindly along with his useless wife too. But that but if Kate earning the nickname “Beautiful Kate” within her first week of Uni…..what???? Where and who came up with that?? It’s sounds like a name she granted herself.
Wait, @Snuffles. I didn’t know about Will’s head injury. Armchair psychology: that explains his psychopathy, no? Neglect + trauma + brain injury = psycho https://www.irishtimes.com/news/study-finds-blow-to-head-may-cause-psychopathic-behaviour-study-1.240242
Billy Basher (Diana’s nickname for him) was a tantrum-throwing wanker as a toddler, the head injury at 8 years old may have exacerbated it but watch this, he was 3 or 4 at the time: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/5DrUTt9-OfU
My sister suffered a severe Traumatic Brain Injury in a car accident when she was 18 (she’s now 60). I am her Legal Guardian. Her personality has been “stuck” at age 18 ever since and sometimes reverts to even younger. She has many issues such as depression, anger, loss of inhibition, short term memory impairment and etc. She basically does what she wants, when she wants and says fuck off to anyone who tries to direct her otherwise. On the other hand, if she’s getting what she wants, she is jovial, fun to be around and sharp as a tack. Those who don’t know the situation wouldn’t realize what is going on and only think there is something a little “off” with her.
I firmly believe that W suffered the same when he was whacked with that golf club. Of course nothing was done to deal with W’s injury because god forbid “they” admit anything could be “wrong” with the heir apparent. This is a major indication of why H was supposed to be there to always “support” W.
@Puppy1 — First, I’m so sorry about your sister’s accident and subsequent problems. I too think that William’s injury has something to do with his adult behaviour, but he was a handful before that, hence the “Billy Basher” nickname Diana gave him when he was still a toddler. Add to that his parents’ chaotic marriage, contentious divorce, and his mother’s unfortunate death…well you have a whole cornucopia of resultant mental health issues. Unfortunately, because of him being the heir and cossetted all his life, he’s never going to admit to having serious psychological issues because he’s too self-important and arrogant, and until he does something REALLY serious he knows he can get away with being a conceited, lazy, entitled jerk for the rest of his life.
Puppy I understand completely. My partner had his head injury in middle age and most people don’t get it. He’s not as bad as your sister but it’s hard to live with at times. People laugh at some of the things he blurts out and he knows it’s not quite right. It’s hard for both of us. Dealing with the anger is very hard.
He’s a screaming mess because he’s so “driven” – uh huh. And Charles prefers to stab William in the back through the press than actually confronting him about his behavior. They deserve each other.
He’s a mess, and he also needs meds and therapy. If he starts something during the Con-a-Nation, the security should carry him out, not Harry. Just think: George Iii, George IV, and Victoria. That madness gene hasn’t faded out.
OK now I kind of hope he starts something.
Will looks like George the third in profile photo
Hanoverian features. A powdered wig would complete the look.
He’s slowly turning into one of The Gentlemen from Buffy the Vampire Slayer
https://media.tenor.com/bpvBjUpNwfsAAAAC/buffy-the-vampire-slayer-the-gentlemen.gif
“Can’t even shout.
Can’t even cry.
The Gentlemen are coming by.
Looking in windows,
knocking on doors…
They need to take seven
and they might take yours…
Can’t call to mom.
Can’t say a word.
You’re gonna die screaming
but you won’t be heard.”
OMG, @Snuffles! Yes! Hush is my all-time favorite Buffy episode!
And you’re right. Striking resemblance.
william is driven so that makes his bad temper okay?? Let’s gloss over the fact for right now that he’s not driven, at all – but being “driven” doesnt give you a pass for losing your temper, being an ahole, and apparently holding grudges.
Anyway it does feel interesting that all the excerpted stories we’re reading from this book dont make W&K look good. the press is definitely yanking their chain a bit.
Yeah, William is “driven”. Sure, Jan.
from the time he was little, I always thought William looked like a descendent of Victoria. But all the stuff written about William gives a clear picture into some of Louis’ behavior.
You have to consider that for his entire life he’s been told how special he is, how he’s going to modernize, and save the monarchy that his father should be passed over to give him the reins, and he probably believes that hype. Unlike Philip and Charles, who were both literate well you have to consider that for his entire life he’s been told how special he is, how he’s going to modernize, and save the monarchy that his father should be passed over to give him the reins, and he probably believes that hype. Unlike Philip and Charles, who were both literate Well read intellectually curious I don’t sense the same passion for understanding and visionary qualities. He may have been pleasant on the eyes and can speak eloquently when the job asks for it, but I don’t sense the kind of drive needed to if you will. “change the world”
What?? How can you say Will isn’t driven? Think about it, how often does he really drive himself somewhere? He’s mostly driven places.
Technically true… LOL
I’m no big fan of Charles but I’ve thought for a long time William was the main abuser in that family. And as more and more anecdotes have come out in the last couple of years I’m more convinced. I kind of love that Charles and Camilla are throwing him to the Wolves.
Princess Margaret and Prince Philip were well-known for their short fuses. William seems to have absorbed it and ramped it up with the arrogance of knowing he is The Heir.
George 6 had rages, they were known as Berties’s nashes.
The previous two Earls Spencer were heavy drinkers who hit their wives.
Charles and Diana both screamed and shouted at each other, in front of William.
So he didn’t stand much chance really.
@Cairidh: and then sometimes when you grow up with that kind of violence you decide as an adult you don’t want to live that way or make your kids go through what you went through. Exhibit A: Harry.
George V had a VERY short fuse. His children, which included David the PoW, and his successor Prince George, were terrified of him and the king liked it that way. I think Prince John was the baby and was differently abled. And there were a couple of nannies who tormented the boys until they were found out and fired. So much anger in this family.
Even this sounds like some mild and vague criticism. He has a temper and holds a grudge. I’m sure he does but there are no real details or stories backing up these claims. Probably bc the stories are too bad to even go into.
Incandescent and bone are about to fade away in the years to come, during Camilla’s reign, sorry, Chuckie’s reign, and I love that for them. They overplayed their hands with that ‘skip Charles and make W&K king&queen’ crap for years.
And luckily George is still too young or they might just start putting out ‘skip Will & Airhead’ and go right to George because of Will’s unsuitable temperament.
Will inherited the sneering looks from his father the image of will showing his teeth looks like dad during the pen episode.
A small part at Adelaide? Like Lili’s small party at FC? CopyKeening strikes again.
I keep fantasizing that something will happen at the fancy hat party that will set W off – resulting in a spectacular rage tantrum right there in front of everybody!
Maybe C & C are already on it – laying the groundwork.
Perhaps sitting W in a chair with a wobbly leg.
Or Rose’s son breaking away and running towards W mid-ceremony, arms outstretched, gleefully screaming, “Daddy! Daddy!”
So many possibilities.
Now that would truly overshadow Chuck’s big day! Them have a massive fight in the Abbey would be the last nail in the Monarchy’s coffin. Would love to see it.
That whole pen episode made me simultaneously drop my jaw and clench my teeth. Yep it was a stressful time, but Charles is definitely an entitled spoiled man. There are stories of him literally dropping papers off at his desk, that Mr. waste basket and him calling over servants to pick up the paper and put it in the ways can.
Charles, who loses his mind over leaky pens, has more patience than William. Let that sink in for a moment.
There is a difference between being easily frustrated and being prone to interpersonal anger. One is an emotional or physical overwhelm that gets triggered and once the energy is released, the episode is over. The other is someone with anger inside, who looks for people and situations to release it on.
I had a friend who worked in domestic violence counseling. She said there was a big difference between cases where there were fights over normal things that escalated and where someone came in angry, looking for a fight.
For years I kept getting assessed for depression, but didn’t have enough of the symptoms. Then I was finally diagnosed with ADHD. I learned that my crying jags weren’t because of sadness, but frustration. My ex used to think I was being malicious and faking being mad because it ended so quickly, but it was just a neurodiverse brain response.
I think one of the Windsor’s troubles is that they are a group of very different people, but trapped in always doing things the way they’ve always been done, instead of letting each person build the life and environment that suits them best.
Most of the tears I’ve shed over the years have been of frustration. People always assume I’m sad or overwhelmed, when really I am neither. Unless you count being sad that screaming and throwing things at some asshole is not socially acceptable, and overwhelmed at the consequences if I truly lose my sh*t in front of people.
@Concern Faye I can so relate to that!! I would have meltdowns if there was someone taking too long in front of me at the grocery store checkout before I was medicated! Now I smile and offer to help. Neurodiverse brains are not fun when you don’t understand them.
When is the Palace going to launch the bullying investigation against William?
Exactly Amy Bee. It’s consistently said that William has a temper & gets into rages. Yet we are to believe that Meghan who has a history of working & before 2018 had no reports of similar behaviour, is the one who had staff shaking in fear & is only royal who the palace decided to announce an HR review about?Disgusting really
Anyway more discussion on William’s temper really supports Harry’s account in Spare.
The royals are like the Republican party. Everything is projection of their own vices. And it’s interesting that not a soul has contradicted Harry’s account about William’s violent temper. They’ve only tried to justify it.
That’s what really gets me. Jobson’s book has so far told us the Camilla, Chuck, & Willy Boy are awful people, awful employers, awful bosses–they are terrible to encounter in the work place–yet it’s Meghan who caused people to shake & cry in her vicinity? Meghan who got investigated? The appalling hypocrisy–out & proud racism–of it all is just mind-boggling.
If rumours are to be believed, the press is sitting on a sh*t-ton of bad stuff about Willnot. I have a feeling that we’re going to see a definite ramp-up of negative stories about him once the Chuckathon is over. He may be fighting a tabloid briefing war with C&C and the Midds right now but the damn will burst on him one of these days.
I don’t think William looks healthy. And I don’t know whether it’s a loss of muscle tone, but he looks painfully thin. The hairline wouldn’t be an issue, but it emphasizes facial expressions. I looked at one picture and got an immediate flash of Voldemort and at this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if he had plans for Meghan and Harry. Their children having to go to uncle William for permission to marry I think he’s going to dish out a whole lot of hurting on those kids once they’re older.
I guess this is their response to all the “skip Charles for William” stories. Charles is the more “mature and patient” asshole so its better for him to be in charge. Slowly but surely Charles and Crocmilla are vanquishing all of their enemies: Diana being erased, Meddletons going broke, Kate being outed as a mean girl and blamed for the Sussexes leaving, William as being lazy, bad tempered and uncontrollable. Harry and Meghan have been the thorns in their side as every tactic they’ve tried so far to ruin them has backfired. But I’m sure they’ll keep trying.
Crocmilla! I love it.
i go back and forth between pitying William and criticizing him. Like Harry, he’s clearly had a lot of childhood trauma. never really had an outsider support him and show him how twisted his family is (Kate wants to GET IN, not out and will endure a lot to be a Princess), and now has to step further into this sideshow of a monarchy. he has temper tantrums bc he’s clearly never learned or processed his feelings from childhood and people also never corrected him. add on what he thinks is his brother throwing him under the bus and he’s just gonna get worse. there’s no winner in this battle of brothers. just the result of really bad parenting and toxic environment.
William’s life/personality is a perfect storm of toxicity. Let’s start with genetics. Windsor have a history of very bad, uncontrollable tempers. While Diana was pregnant with him, she attempted suicide by throwing herself down the stairs while 4 months pregnant with him. So, if that incident didn’t do something to the fetus, the fact that she was severely distressed during her entire pregnancy with him because of Charles and his cheating and cold heart might have caused some damage. Then add to the fact that because he’s the heir he was rarely disciplined and never learned better behavior. He was spoiled by everyone around him, treated better than his own brother and was told everyday of his life that he’s anointed by God to rule an empire. A childhood of dealing with feuding parents and a broken home. Throw in a traumatic head injury at 8 years old. A traumatic loss at 15 losing Diana. Never given any help or therapy to deal with said loss because that’s beneath royalty (these are the same people who hid away disabled cousins and claimed they died so no one would think the Windsor gene pool was less than perfect). A continued lifetime of spoiling and entitlement. Was preyed upon and grifted by a social climbing family who probably bilked him of his inheritance. Then, the sun of all sins, a bi-racial American divorcee arrives and shows him up immediately and thus rocking his sense of superiority he was fed his entire life. Then she “steals” his personal workhorse/scapegoat and now he has no cover anymore and is left with nothing but pure rage.
Excellent analysis of the trouble with William, Snuffles. 👏👏👏
Witnesses said Diana fell down a few steps not a whole stair case. She had.bruises no damage to the baby
The concussion could have done the damage.
Brilliant.
Exactly this.
I agree that he clearly has unresolved anger issues that obviously stem from his childhood but the guy is in his 40’s now. There has to come a point in life where you honestly assess any toxicity or disfunction from your past and try to deal with it to gain peace & personal growth.
Loads of us have had to face this self-healing stage in adulthood because of toxic families/parents, most of us without the luxury (at least here in the UK) of any professional therapeutic help. He really just needs to grow up & be responsible for his own responses to life’s ups & downs. If he continues to hang on to all that internalised anger & fear he will end up suffering serious stress related illnesses as he gets older.
The big difference is the rest of us have bills to pay, so we’ve learned to moderate our behavior. He has the security of his position to shield him from most consequences that would force him into any sort of self-reflection.
Narcissists will never admit they have a mental health problem. They blame everyone around them for their shortcomings, and will throw anyone under the bus who dares to cross them or try to explain that their behaviour is unacceptable. Self-healing is simply not something they would ever contemplate, you have to have a conscience and integrity to do that, things that Bulliam is totally lacking.
I have enormous sympathy for his childhood but he is 40. At this point, he has to have responsibility over his behaviour and actions instead of hiding behind “awful childhood”.
I think Eena’s reply is bang on. Most people have to learn to moderate their behaviour by adulthood. William has never had to as he is insulated from consequences of his actions. He doesn’t have to keep a job to financially support himself, he doesn’t have to worry about alienating people around him. He doesn’t care about the feelings of any staff and they dare not report William. There is no downside in William’s tantrums. Now, C and C are going to teach him that there’s always a bigger dog. Camilla as queen is settling old scores and vanquishing all who objected to the side piece.
i think you guys are underestimating the toll years of bad parenting and trauma does to a person. in the same way, william has trauma from his parents divorce, death of his mother, and arguably different than harry bc he had to play intermediary for his parents. harry is in his 30s and only recently started the journey to healing. something that insidiously affects your life for all of your childhood, adolescence and even now is nothing u can just “snap” out of or moderate. he hasn’t learned bc he continues to be in that toxic AF environment.
My concern is for the children. What have they witnessed with these rage-fests? What kind of trauma are they dealing with? I really feel sorry for those three little ones.
Probably the same trauma that William and Harry witnessed. Even before the divorce there were stories about how Charles and Diana argued, just like with William and Kate.
Now that we’ve learned so much about W’s outrageous temper and violent tendencies, it makes me love Meghan even more because she was bold enough to tell W to get his finger out of her face during a heated confrontation. Hahahaha! Damn! You know K’s jaw dropped and a corgi fainted.
LOL!
I would have paid good money to have seen that go down!
To me, this sounds a lot like Charles justifying his own reign by saying that his heir is too young (actually he’s 40), too hotheaded and rash to take on the job of monarch. As if he’ll somehow mellow with age.
I´m wondering if he has some kind of personality disorder. The reports from the last years do not sound like a temper but something more.
And for Kate, to live with a person with a person with an untereated personality disorder, she has either has to be the strongest person ever, been broken or be the same kind of person, otherwise she woud not be able to stay.
Sounds like Narcissism to me. Particularly the “it’s never my fault” attitude. Narcissists can’t admit fault.
He’s a classic NPD — tempermental, intimidating, manipulative, deceitful, and they’ll throw anyone under the bus who dares to cross them. They lack a sense of empathy and remorse, and characteristics like integrity and respect for others are foreign to them. They are classic bullies. I can see him crashing and burning at some point if he keeps up the briefing and leaking against C&C and the Midds. They and the tabloids will turn on him and open Pandora’s box.
@Jaded a perfect, intelligent assessment and description of NPD. I was raised by a narcissist and then married one. You cannot win against one. They negate your self worth via their deceptive gaslighting and they rewrite their and your own history by their total insistence on their own version of events. It is only now, In my 60s, that I have educated myself, done a huge amount of work, and am finally, hopefully, becoming free. Love to all of you who have lived it too x
I didn’t realize “driven” meant jealous and bitter.
Oh willllly, karma is calling, or should I say Camilla. Ha, you, through your crazed hatred and jealousy of your brother are having to face life without your whipping boy and you don’t have anywhere to turn do you. Your pathological tendency to rage, scream and smash is out in the open now. What a pity you were able to quash that video of you screaming at that poor man who DARED to take a video of you screaming at Kate. See this is the thing with bullies and rage monsters, you can only stay hidden for so long, and now your OUT in all your incandescent self. I remember Ken Wharf your body guard who made several complaints about your behaviour and called you a petulant child. Seems you have remained in that state your whole life. Does your valet carry a supply of tranquillisers for you, or just a straight jacket?. Is that why you no longer live with your wife and children! Come on willy fess up, your a 3 year old in a 40 year old body. How does it feel to know your being fed to the tabloid wolves. Quick call your brother, because he has had experience of it ALL of his life, BUT don’t be surprised by his “Foxtrot Oscar”, reply
Watch this Mary Pester…some things never change. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/5DrUTt9-OfU
@JADED, yep history keeps repeating itself. The rage monster grew into a BIG rage monster
Ha! ‘Foxtrot Oscar’! Took me a minute, but I got it! 😉
I wonder the real secret on William is he is not only a cheater but a wife beater? Domestic violence will never be forgiven. As much as I loath Kate she doesn’t deserve that.
I think its more like a whos afraid of virginia woolf scenario with the couple taunting and insulting each other.
Good analogy. I wouldn’t be surprised if he pushes her around sometimes, but he reserves his fists for his brother.
It’s the tale of two cities. One when he’s writing a book he wants people to buy and one when they want to ostracize the Sussexes. In this instance two things can’t be true.
My theory has long been that all of Charles’s dithering and spinelessness on Harry and Meghan is because he is terrified of William. All of the worst shit about snubbing them at the Coronation and how much William hates Harry is also coming from William.
Charles can’t handle conflict and so he keeps giving in, but on the other hand probably wants a relationship with his kinder, gentler son — the one who isn’t a rage maniac and who has tried hard to deal with the trauma from his mother’s death.
Camilla said once William had a terrible temper and was always screaming at Charles, as I am sure he does to Kate. Charles looks defeated and unwell, and Kate looks miserable and is literally wasting away and rarely seen. Interesting.
He’s a grown-up Joffrey!
Kate squared up to Meghan before the walkabout and was again confrontational letting them take their seats at the funeral while TOB was trying to play nice in public. She can’t self regulate in public around Meghan but for PR purposes TOB does. However behind the scenes TOB shoves, pushes, grabs and screams at family members. He is a sneaky coward who would immediately call for his bodyguards if anybody he was pushing defended themselves. He is his own worst enemy and the Chubbly will see him piping hot and spoiling for a fight. If his trousers rip like a loud fart when he kneels to pay homage to dad and stepmum then even the archbishop of Canterbury will not be safe from his fury! I can see him kicking corgis live on TV if anything upsets him on the 6th!
So Willy is unhinged. It’s disgusting that the royal rota know this, but still keep minimizing his assault of Harry.
Unaccountability is the biggest enabler of bad behavior.
It is fun to watch these “senior” royals turning on each other. Nice break from the H&M hit pieces. C & C’s courtiers have always leaked and briefed against Charles’ sons. Charles and William have never been close. Diana said long ago that as William had a trickier character and Charles was closer to Harry. No matter how many reinvented Fab Four portraits they release, nobody is buying the solidarity story. Happy that H&M are far away. These remaining backstabbing royals all deserve one another.
Screaming and throwing things at your wife is emotional and physical abuse. I don’t understand why the British people don’t care that William abuses his wife. I know from the stories that Kate does the same abuse back at him, but William is a male who served in the military, and his wife is a stick who is no match for him physically. I am appalled at the way the British public doesn’t care. Even if nobody cares about Kate, what about the kids who have to grow up in an abusive home?
We are not supposed to talk about that don’t you know? That’s why they hate Harry for exposing all the fuckery that goes on in that family. And he didn’t even tell it all. So yeah it seems like nobody cares about how things are but only how things look.
It is worth bearing in mind that, if this is what we’re hearing about William (pretty consistently) from pro-royal sources, then the reality will be 10 times worse.
And I’m reminded of that Times writer who tweeted that he wished they could tell the truth about William (not Charles, but William).
There have been so many stories about him doing the rounds over the years, which have all been sat on.
I’m no particular fan of Charles, but William is going to be so much worse as king.
Driven is the euphemism for unexamined out-of-control anger and rage.
Good to know.
Did Jobson put anything about Charles in his book about Charles? It seems to be about everyone else.
@Gabby. I was wondering this too. There seems to be very little being reported on from this book that is actually about the stated subject matter – ‘Our King’.
I’ll never know for sure though because I’d literally eat the £20 note asking price before buying it and putting money in that vile bully’s bank account.
So, elder abuse?! Got it.
Driven by demons, hate, greed, boredom, infidelity, selfishness, envy and laziness. Did I leave anything out?
This is what K&W get after years campaigning to have Charles to abdicate in Williams favor. This is just the beginning now that M&H are living their best lives.
Are we hearing this because since the queen turned 90 and passed away, there’s a power struggle between C&C and PW?
