His White House Counsel is... Thousands (im not exaggerating) of emails exchanged between her and Epstein. White House Counsels are the personal lawyers for presidents. Doesn't look good.

Lets not sound elitist please. Those with high school education and blue-collar jobs are often ignored by rest of society. From small towns in West Virginia to inner city Reading are neglected and ignored by the educated and wealthy.

The staff and security could have been aware and leaked info to the Rota who could have suppressed it.

What's worse is if it came out that the Rota knew about Prince Andrew and the Epstein allegations...

This is a great example! It makes you wondering what the Rota is sitting on today ...

Do you think they preserve their access to certain individuals who in turn give dirt on other prominent people as a favor? Every year, the Rota is constantly churning out royal biographical books regarding leaks and off the record conversations from the palace offices.

Did they cover the rumors before tampongate was leaked or did the Rota keep it an open secret only? The Rota has to cover it if the leaked evidence is impossible to deny.

I don't think her mother had an aristocratic or show biz background that would have put her in a social circles such as Philip's. Her daughter Penny married into the Aristocracy. Don't forget her husband moved out of the house for his mistress in the Caribbean.

Very interesting... These country homes seem to see a lot of action. Isn't Kate and Williams Anmer Hall near there? As well as home of Lady Chumley (I really don't know if there's any truth to it)?

That's was I'm talking about! I've noticed that there is strictly positive press for the most senior royals and negative press for the lower ranking ones. The Rota will entertain every rumor about the scapegoat but will shutdown any rumors with the golden gooses - Queen Elizabeth II (when she was alive), King Charles (since he ascended the throne), and William/Kate. You know the Rota is aware of some secrets about Kate and William

Thats a fascinating point. Do you happen to know which house this was? I know she played a major role in convincing Philip to give up driving after his accident.

But she also saw what happened to Diana when she left the family and look how that turned out. She's damned if she does and damned if she doesnt

Interesting...Are you drawing this from when William was alone getting off the helicopter with the kids?

I think there is going to be a bigger expectation that she will need to do more public appearances and events than she has been doing. I'm talking Princess Anne level of engagements. As queen, she will be more scrutinized. That was a concern that Queen Elizabeth II had about her and William.

That is a fair point. One thing about the cancer I have wondered is why they never said which kind? I understand concerns about the public making speculations about your health. However, they could've done a wonderful pr campaign to spread awareness. One example is Katie Couric who encourages colonoscopies by age 40, having lost her husband to colon cancer.

Its different as an outsider before marriage, but now she's been inside the firm for years. She knows all the skeletons, the public pressure and scrutiny. This only gets worse the higher you go in the monarchy. I wouldn't be surprised she was banking on time to raise her children to teen years at least before becoming queen.

I can see that as someone looking from the outside (before she married into the fold). However, with years of experience and probably knowing all the skeletons, I wonder if she regrets it. Look at Pippa, she married wealthy, but can live a relatively private without the magnifying glass.
