hello :) could you maybe explain a little bit how dan wootton blackmailed louis?

ugh sorry for taking a while to get to this. The problem is I feel like the only two ways to answer this are by spending a week and a half of full time labor sifting through old posts and evidence to get every detail right and lay out an airtight case, or to halfass something very serious, and so I felt a little stuck. So since I can't seem to find a good halfway point, apologies but here is the half assed version, if you want to get into it more I invite you to do your own deep dive or talk to other people, but here's how I remember things. Louis has almost never on video explicitly said things about Larry not being real and/or anything negative about fans and their theories (mostly the opposite), up until the last couple years when he obviously decided to make a major change he didn't talk about Freddie much at all let alone saying he was his kid, honestly not that much about Eleanor even; except for in two major interviews with Dan Wootton, each of which lined up with a serious traumatic Tomlinson family event that they managed to keep out of the tabloids until the very end (Jay's illness and Fizzy's struggles with substance abuse). After the fact of those events a lot of small things that didn't make sense at the time came together to look very much like Louis traded those interviews (and those answers) for having his family's private matters kept private. Story trading of this kind is a publicly known real thing that happens, and there were various clues that suggested he was being leaned on about those stories to lend legitimacy to the idea that it was something that happened in these cases. Given what we know about Dan Wootton and how he operates even before the recent flood of information and even more now, I think it's more than likely that he has been holding the threat of outing Louis (as he has done to many other public figures) over his head for over a decade, and has used his family's tragic struggles to get Louis to dance like a fucking puppet for him and I will REJOICE at his downfall when it comes whether it is now or 20 years from now... because someday it will, he has made too many enemies to stay above it forever

I have mixed feelings on both of them but interesting...🤔

Happy 28th! 🎊🎊

Well that’s worth a celebration!!!!! 🎉🍾

You’ve seen this? Just an example how some people close to Louis actually don’t praise Simon (or Dan Wootton) 🤩

Good for her. It’s nice to see.

King Charles withdrew £700K in funding for a trial year in Canada over a royal cash-for-leaks scandal involving Dan Wootton, when Prince Harry included the name of Prince William’s aide in a legal action linking the Firm to payouts from the Sun for stories.

Prince William’s aide was receiving money in exchange for stories about Harry, Meghan’s and baby Archie.

Byline Times has uncovered photographic evidence of Wootton, the aide and the aide’s partner at a lavish private birthday party Wootton threw for his close friends in a £1,675-a-night hotel suite.

Byline Times confirmed everything Prince Harry has said about the Royal Family and the tabloids sordid relationship

"The royal household had thought the threat of exposure would force Harry and Meghan to return to the UK, where their profile could be controlled preventing them from eclipsing the future King."

[houseofbrat]

I knew that video had nothing to do with Kate's "cancer."

Dan may still be bitter about getting fired from the Daily Mail, but he has had sources in KP since the Megxit times...

Even still, making a video to "defend her marriage" means that your marriage isn't that strong, is it?

Such reporting is not only uniquely evil, given what Catherine is coming through (surely it’s her right to outline to the world her cancer journey however she damn well pleases), it also completely ignores the reality of why she has felt the most intense pressure to make clear to the world she remains madly in love with William and their marriage is in a strong place. Indeed, the reality, as I’m about to outline, is that William and Catherine only ever released the video because of the ugly rumours spread about their marriage by Harry and Meghan, their allies in the media, and gang of internet trolls the Sussex Squad.

Yeah, it's so "strong" that she needed to do a video snuggling up to her husband, so we can all repost those same images later on when their reputations blow up in their faces.

Somehow, Will & Kate did not feel the need to "defend" their marriage in 2023? Or 2022? Or 2021? Or even after the Oprah interview? Or after Harry's book? Or the Netflix series?

Gee, what changed?

Was The Year of the Water Rabbit too hard on these two bums? Did something significant happen regarding a Water Rabbit?

Will & Kate, your transformation into the Prince & Princess of OWN GOALS is complete.

[grits-galraisedinthesouth]

Megyn Kelly is promoting the conspiracy that Catherine, The Princess of Wales, tried to deceive the public about her REAL appearance by using a photo from a Vogue Magazine covershoot in place of her REAL mother's day photograph. 🤡

Maybe Megyn Kelly should have searched the internet for compareable photos of the lovely Princess before sharing such an asinine theory 🤡

Dan Wootton's words about "Kate being very unwell" and feeling "embarrassed" did not help. He couldn't even accurately define the Queen's cancer diagnosis. How disappointing.

After speaking so freely about Catherine's serious illness, Dan also shared that (in his expert opinion) Catherine, as a member of the BRF, is NOT allowed to remain out of the public eye (on a medical leave of absence) for four (4) months. 🤡

I also learned from the Royal Rogue that Dan Wootton& Richard Eden both pushed affair lies.

Next time Megyn Kelly says "Kate Middleton" let her know we haven't seen her since April 29, 2011.

Princess of Wales

As if Megyn Kelly knows anything about posing &/or photography.🤡

[dearly]

after reading all the da.n W.oo.ten stuff, the only reason louis is still with these people, i think is good old blackmail.

the wattpad stuff was absolutely INSANE and i know i haven't been on here much but i feel like i barely saw anything about it-- even in the mainstream like it was buried like crazy....

for those unaware: dan wootton was credibly accused of extortion, catfishing, sexual harassment and blackmail. his alias was reported criminally for his offenses before it was revealed as his alias.

simon jones was/is bffs with wattpad. we know this, it was never a secret, they've been pretty happy to be public about it.

it's impossible for us to know if anything criminal was going on wrt louis, but it makes DW's bizarre obsessive behaviour around him all the more unsettling.

[statementlou]

There’s so many details and twists to Dan Wootton meddling with every member of 1D, but in particular Louis, but in terms of story trading I’ve always felt like the Lottie pictures of her doing cocaine was a complete set up. The photos were so clear and no one looked messy other than the obvious drug use. At the time I figured Lottie took those in exchange for worse photos not being released.

Yes; I've seen people speculate that it was a trade for keeping Fizzy out of the papers and the timing works. Whether or not the pic itself was taken for that purpose (I'm sure she actually did coke as did everyone else around, and looked very nice and well put together while doing so; one thing coke is great for is being able to drink lots without getting sloppy, and just generally I would say looking messy is not necessarily involved with casual drug use of any kind) it really fits into the picture we can form now, looking back, to think that it being published was given in return for silence about something else.

[trexalicious]

The latest from Dan Wooton...

[awesomefringey]

I never thought I'd have to say this. I like to think I'm a strong larrie. Which I am. But this constant shit talks that louis does about us, not once or twice but multiple times now, it's annoying tf out of me. I am out of twitter due to some reasons, and I have no idea what is going on in the fandom. Someone just told me louis stated in an interview that larries annoy him and talks bad an his "son" (a son who is literally the exception of all genetics studies that I did on my PhD paper and turned to look exactly like his mom's step father) I just. It's too much. And I'm highly, highly disappointed in louis.

Yet I try to love him, try to look past all these hurtful jabs he throws at us, but then he does it again. It's toxic af atp.

You are the one who feeds us stuff. You are the one who wrote the princess park line. You are the one who got fucking complementary tattoos. Now u blame us for falling. Splendid.

Sorry for the long ass anon I needed to vent

Yup that’s the gaslighting that frustrates a loooot of people.

In this case (I guess you’ve not seen it?), and I’m not trying to defend Louis or anything but it’s been pretty much the same sentiment since his Dan Wootton denial.

The answer wasn’t worse or better, just another version of “people will believe what they want to believe”. He put Freddie into the mix as a boundary (which fair, I don’t need this kid to be in the spotlight ever) but beyond that he shrugs it off as “it is what it is”.

If you’re not willing to stick around for that, I get it. 🩵

[twopoppies]

Hi Gina! How are you?

I stumbled on Twitter (thanks to the stupid 'For you' page), to Dan Wootton and surpising to no one he is a hardcore Trump supporter (isn't he British? Weird for him to be that involved..).

Anyways, it just made me think of the media people who always wrote against Larry or always got the "exclusives" like him or Pierce Morgan, are always conservative people, anti anything progressive and overall really bad people. Could it be because they are easily bought by managements like Modest or Syco to do or say x things? It's no coincidence that the profiles are so similar.

Ugh. I just scrolled his feed. Everything there is so repulsive. And yes, completely unsurprising. You might be right… they’re generally people whose morals are easily swayed as long as things are beneficial to them. I can’t stand Piers Morgan, but oddly enough he did seem to come around to being clued in on Palestine (at least last time I checked).

[theiconicmeghanmarkle]

What a coincidence that random and clearly made up stories about Harry and Meghan are doing the rounds, just as a certain "journalist" has serious allegations levelled against him...how curious 🤔

Kate Middleton’s appearance at Wimbledon on Sunday delighted tennis and royal fans, but it may be some time before we see Kate in public again. According to royal sources, Prince William and Princess Kate are planning to spend most of the summer “below the radar” at their Norfolk bolthole now that Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are out of school and Kate continues her course of preventative chemotherapy. While Kensington Palace would not give details on the family’s plans for the summer, a royal source confirmed that the Wales family are now “on summer break.” Sources close to the family say that although they will not be traveling abroad this summer while Kate undergoes treatment, they are excited to visit King Charles and Queen Camilla in Scotland next month. Sunday’s appearance at Wimbledon is likely to be Kate’s last official engagement until later this year.

16 JULY 2024: Will & Kate are looking to hire a new Assistant Private Secretary that can speak "conversational Welsh." [archive link]

Although the new hire would be responsible for Prince William and Catherine's public engagements in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, the future King and Queen want their new Assistant Private Secretary to specifically focus on Wales and believe it is "essential" that they speak conversational Welsh. [...] Almost two years after taking on their Wales titles, and after a testing year so far with The Princess' major abdominal surgery and cancer diagnosis, it appears Prince William and Catherine are driving forward with their plans, seeking "specific expertise on Welsh communities, affairs, government, and business". Handled by the largest executive search firm in the United Kingdom, Odgers Berndtson has posted a job advert for an Assistant Private Secretary ("APS"), Wales & UK on behalf of Kensington Palace.

24 JULY 2024: Victoria Ward, The Telegraph, "Prince William refuses to reveal how much tax he pays." [archive link]

The Prince of Wales has chosen not to reveal how much tax he pays on the private income he receives from his vast property portfolio, marking a notable change in approach from when his father was heir to the throne. Prince William’s Duchy of Cornwall estate, the billion-pound business empire he inherited on the death of his grandmother, Elizabeth II, generated profits of £23.6 million in the last financial year. He is understood to pay income tax on the full amount, less household costs, which have also not been disclosed.

26 JULY 2024: Robert Jobson's book excerpt in The Daily Mail, "How the Queen and Charles clashed with William after he refused to stop flying his young family around Britain in his helicopter." [archive link]

One courtier explained: 'The King's relationship with both his sons has been difficult over the years. Even now he is King, with the Prince of Wales, there can be differences of opinion and tensions. Of course, they love each other, but they clash, and sometimes William needs handling with kid gloves.' Another courtier confirmed: 'You have to check first which way the wind is blowing with the prince. They don't see eye to eye on several issues, but why should they? [Prince William's] moment in the top job will come — perhaps he would do well to remember it is not yet. This is His Majesty's time.' When he loses his temper, William is a bit of a shouter — and his father tends to give as good as he gets. The difference these days is that their arguments usually blow over quite quickly. One recent source of disagreement is William's stubborn refusal to take his father's advice on safeguarding the succession. Earlier this year, the King had raised concerns with his son about the wisdom of William using his helicopter to fly his entire family around the country.

27 JULY 2024: People magazine (US), "Prince William and King Charles Clashed Over Use of Helicopter for Kate Middleton and Their Children, New Book Claims". [archive link]

According to Robert Jobson's soon-to-be-released biography, Catherine, The Princess of Wales, the King, 75, “raised concerns” with William, 42, over his helicopter use with Kate Middleton and their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, that sparked a tense disagreement between the pair.  In an excerpt from Jobson’s book, per The Daily Mail, King Charles brought up his worries on the matter after coming to terms with his mortality following his cancer diagnosis, which was announced in February. The King even presented experienced pilot William with “a formal document acknowledging the risks involved and taking full responsibility for his actions” amid their dispute, the new book claims.   Charles’ concerns echoed that of his late mother Queen Elizabeth, who previously requested William not fly with his family on a helicopter from Kensington Palace to his former residence of Anmer Hall in Norfolk, which is a 115-mile journey, according to Robson.  [...] It is also understood that the palace has fully evaluated the risk of the family flying together, compared with implementing a policy where separate travel assets are provided for one or more members of The Prince and Princess of Wales’ family.

It is thought the smaller Wales family are unlikely to travel this year to Tresco, a small island off the coast of Cornwall, where they have often spent summer holidays. However, The Daily Beast has been told that the couple are aiming to be in Balmoral either for the opening of the grouse-shooting season on Aug. 12 or shortly thereafter. William and Kate both shoot. One friend of the couple told The Daily Beast: “Kate has been exceptionally open and honest about her health. Making two appearances before the summer break, at Wimbledon and Trooping the Colour, was a clear signal that she is doing well. That is what we are hearing privately as well—it’s not over but there is lots of optimism, lots of positivity.” [...] Another source, a Buckingham Palace insider, said they understood there was no sense that Kate was expected to be back on duty for the traditionally busy period of royal engagements that kicks off in the first week of September and runs through to Christmas.

11 AUGUST 2024: William & Kate appear for less than ten seconds in a video message for Team GB with multiple celebrity appearances, after the end of the Olympics.

13 AUGUST 2024: Lucie Heath writes about the Duchy of Cornwall.

The Duchy of Cornwall’s largest single landholding is 27,300 hectares on Dartmoor, which accounts for approximately one third of the National Park. Last year the Government published an independent review of Dartmoor, which concluded the landscape was “not in a good state”. Dr Alexander Lees, a biodiversity expert at Manchester Metropolitan University, said the Duchy of Cornwall has a big part to play in turning things around at Dartmoor and other sites it owns. “As one of Britain’s biggest landowners, the Duchy of Cornwall is in a position of strength to combat the entwined biodiversity and climate crises. However, massive additional investment in conservation is needed across these landholdings,” he said. Dr Lee said: “clearly there is a need to generate income to leverage restoration and rewilding across the estate”, but added it is “questionable” that some of this income comes from a car dealership when the Duchy has promoted reduced car use through its flagship Poundbury housing estate in Dorset.

What most will not appreciate is that Catherine had actually been unwell for some time in the run up to her initial abdominal surgery in January (further details of which have not been made public yet by Kensington Palace). It was only after that ‘planned’ operation, of course, which left her in hospital for two weeks, that her cancer was discovered.

Tusk Trust CEO says William wants to introduce his children to Africa.

"He is very knowledgeable and passionate about conservation and the environment,” Mayhew said. “He has a particular love for Africa. He has been incredibly supportive as our patron and proactive in supporting us. We find ourselves incredibly lucky.” Mayhew plans to meet up with Prince William in Cape Town, South Africa, when the Prince of Wales hosts the fourth annual Earthshot Prize Awards there in November. Soon enough, the Prince of Wales will want to introduce his three children — Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis — to the continent, Mayhew said. “I think it won’t be long before, you know, he will want to introduce them to Africa,” he said.

17 AUGUST 2024: Natasha Anderson, Daily Mail, reports on how Will, Kate, George, Charlotte, and Louis, spent the day at a large Nerf battle. [archive link]

The Royal family had a bit of a rumble last weekend as the Prince and Princess of Wales faced off against their children in a Nerf battle. Prince George, 11, Princes Charlotte, nine, and six-year-old Prince Louis joined in the festivities at the Gone Wild Festival at Holkham Hall, Norfolk for a high-intensity Nerf war with toy guns and smoke bombs. Excitable and 'unforgettable' Louis ran around yelling 'Nerf or nothing, let's do this!', according to Norfolk Nerf Parties boss Georgina Barron. The Princess of Wales, who has been battling cancer, even 'grabbed a Nerf gun, ran around, and played stuck in the mud with her kids', Ms Barron added, noting that hosting the family was the 'biggest honour' and 'unforgettable'. Ms Barron said the royals, who were not photographed at the event, had wanted to enjoy a 'wholesome family day like any other normal family'. Kensington Palace has been approached for comment.

The Princess of Wales has rapidly ascended the Royal ranks, becoming a favourite among the Royal Family due to her sense of humour and evident respect for her role. Even during her cancer treatment, she has displayed nothing but strength and determination. Kate, once shy and reserved, has transformed into a confident, playful, and occasionally assertive figure, commanding as much public respect as King Charles or Prince William could ever wish for. This trust that the King places in his "darling daughter-in-law" reportedly leads to her frequently being asked for her opinion due to her relatability.

The royals headed to the Peter Jones store on King's Road which is said to be one of Charlotte's favourite stores. A source told The Sun: "There is a really warm connection between Sophie and her great-niece, which is very touching."

Asked about the reports that Harry would not be invited to William’s coronation, the source said: “I believe it 100 percent. Why would William and Kate want all the distraction and circus that his presence would bring? I suspect that William will see Harry one more time in his life in the flesh—at their father’s funeral.” A former Buckingham Palace staffer told The Daily Beast: “Planning for William’s coronation is well underway, and as I understand it there are no plans to invite Harry. It’s hardly surprising when you look at how poisoned the well has become.”

On Aug. 22, Kensington Palace announced that the Prince of Wales, 42, will visit the Homelessness: Reframed exhibit at the Saatchi Gallery in London on Sept. 5. The display highlights the complexities of homelessness across the U.K. and offers the public an opportunity to better understand the stories of individuals who have been affected. Homelessness: Reframed is a collaboration between Prince William's Homewards program, which he launched with the Royal Foundation in June 2023 to help end homelessness for good, the Saatchi Gallery and the Eleven Eleven Foundation. The presentation opened on Aug. 7, and Prince William will visit before it closes on Sept. 20.

Her appearance had been in doubt after she missed the final Trooping rehearsal the weekend prior to the celebration, with confirmation that she would attend only given at 6pm the evening before.  [...] And now, Kate has been seen in public for the third time since revealing that she has cancer - just two weeks after her video message praising Team GB.  The royal appeared in high spirits as she was pictured arriving for Sunday service with her husband William at Crathie Kirk today.  William drove the car, smiling as he chatted with his wife and opting for a navy blue suit for the occasion.  The Princess sported the same hat she donned last year for a Sunday church service, when she donned a beige tartan Marlborough trench coat from Holland Cooper with  dark brown wool felt fedora with feathers.

28 AUGUST 2024: The Daily Mail's royal editor, Rebecca English, confirms that William "never planned to" attend the Earthshot Prize Innovation Summit in September 2024.

29 AUGUST 2024: Matt Wilkinson, The Sun, reports that both William and Harry attended their uncle's funeral in Norfolk, "Warring Prince William and Harry REUNITE at their uncle’s funeral after Duke of Sussex makes secret dash to UK" [archive link]

The Duke of Sussex, 39, flew from his US home to join his brother, 42, at the service for Lord Robert Fellowes. A local in Snettisham, Norfolk, said: “We never saw them speak to each other and they kept their distance.” The princes both “discreetly” attended the funeral for Lord Fellowes — who was their mother Diana’s brother-in-law. They were said to have kept their distance from each other and sat at the back of the church. Sources close to US-based Harry had previously claimed he would not attend. But a close family friend said they were “very happy to confirm both princes were there”. Another source told how they only saw them at the end of the service at St Mary’s Church. They said: “I didn’t know they were there. They arrived very discreetly.” One local said: “William and Harry were both there but we never saw them speak to each other and they were keeping their distance.”
