AA I absolutely love you but I can't do the Meghan thing again. We (here) all know that she wasn't the one spreading wild rumors or fucking up Kate and Will's PR. They shot themselves in the foot with no assistance from Montecito and we don't need to litigate it yet again.

I think that these disinformation spreaders always start with a kernel of truth. "The BRF sucks at PR." And then they blow it wiiiiide open. "The BRF has killed Kate and the family is playing Weekend at Bernie's with her." They take the private thoughts of a small number of assholes and make them come across as deeply held beliefs of millions. Then if you hear from an actual person with those beliefs (who feels vindicated in expressing those opinions now), it confirms the impression that there are millions of people who think this. They don't create the divisions, but they deepen them. The fire would exist without the lighter fluid, but the lighter fluid makes it a whole lot worse.

It was in direct response to someone else saying Russia was doing it and then being accused of not reading things right. I will go back to not posting because I hate having to post police my own post because people want to read me a way

angelashly , I didn't take your post to be about anyone here but about SM in general, which is nothing new, only ramped up again since the Where is Kate? buzz started heating up. As always, it's a poor attempt by the media and some Kate/BRF fans to deflect and blame from the BRF's very terrible PR game.

Clearly this isn’t the place for the “and” conversation either. angelashly your initial post after mine didn’t say anything about Twitter, hence my confusion. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Russia is absolutely launching disinformation campaigns in countries that are allied with Ukraine, including the US and UK. I thought everyone had some understanding of that. Putin was KGB and should never be underestimated. So they will try to disrupt and bend mainstream media sources in those countries around whatever topics are above the fold. It so happens that they latched onto the Kate story because it's been a big deal.
The idea that the Sussexes were spreading rumors is laughable and therefore not worth time or attention. Russian interference in election years, trying to get us to disbelieve everything, is legitimate.
Also Twitter is a cesspool now so I won't give credence to either camp over there, Sussex or Wales.

Eagles The royal family, at the end of the day, has no bearing on my life. I watch them from afar, thanks to the American Revolution and all that, and go about my day. The disinformation thing is something that has and will continue to have a huge effect on all our lives. I’m not saying nor have ever said that the BRF didn’t fuck up utterly. I’ve been doing that in this thread for years, including when Meghan and Harry were still there, for the bujo. I just thought after eleventy pages of “god the royal family sucks” we were all on the same page about that and it didn’t need to restated. At least we’ll always have Andrew as a unity horse here.

Speaking of, the Netflix movie about Andrew’s BBC interview comes out next week. Rufus Sewell looks unrecognizable as Andrew except for his beautiful eyes. It’s really fucking up my internal attraction to him.

I had to look away from the screen. The very fine man candy that is Rufus Sewell as Prince Pedo is more than I can bear.

Charles made it out for Easter service and did a surprise walk about. The Waleses were absent.

Not surprising that the Wales were absent; people magazine had been reporting this since the video
Not happy that Pedo is slowly being reintegrated into royal life

They confirmed Charles was going to church with a much smaller group days ago, and since the video it was known that the Wales family was going to be at Anmer.

Ok, my Twitter feed is going nuts with Getty putting a note with the video of Kate saying “it may not adhere to Getty’s editorial policy.” So does that mean it is AI?

This is a lot of nonsense. How do they (Twitter conspiracy theorists, let’s call them what they are) know it’s a not standard legal disclaimer unless they have looked through every Getty third-party release? Any reputable news outlet will identify when an image or video source as contributed if they didn’t create it. I imagine Getty is being even more careful about that now to cover their asses after the Photoshop situation.
WaPo has an article about this saying they offered it to several AI experts who say it is most likely not AI generated.
You need a better Twitter feed. 🤷♀️
