I hope it's not true and assume it's just more BS. However, pulling the scope back and looking at recent events, including a clear distance between Harry and William, as well as the change of plan from the Sussex offices being based in Kensington, despite the move to Frogmore Cottage/Windsor, to Buckingham Palace, it would explain things that seem to have been happening. It seems the split would have been inevitable but the handling of it was not seamless and done in a way that looked like it had been well-planned in advance. There is no question that Harry and Catherine have been very fond of one another for years and years. I really do think it is probably just a bunch of tabloid BS--although it does have a bit of a different ring than some of the other stuff that's come out lately--but if true it would explain some things that have happened with their organizational structure that were a bit puzzling in the way they were handled. I must be having an off day - I’m not following your thinking here, especially the part about Harry and Catherine being fond of each other. Can you explain further?

never heard the expression or anything similar. i got the point that you were saying "you don't know what you're talking about annabella," but i didn't think your expression made any sense.
all good.
everyone knows that annabella says some pretty outrageous things and has done so for years.

I’ve been aware of this rumor for a while thru the Fug Girls (gofugyourself.com). Obviously I have no idea if it’s true or not. However, there have been man trips without Kate that involved pictures of Wills being friendly with other women. Pictures that in his position he should have been more aware would not look quite so innocent when the tabloids got hold of them. I truly hope this is just rumor mongering. Even if Wills and Kate have an agreement, he looks like a shitty cheater if the public doesn’t know she’s agreed to it. Their lives are lived in the public sphere, this shouldn't be a surprise to them that anything out of the ordinary is going to be speculated upon.

I must be having an off day - I’m not following your thinking here, especially the part about Harry and Catherine being fond of each other. Can you explain further? Sure. I follow the Royal Family pretty closely. I am a big fan of the Queen and also of Harry and Meghan especially. But also William and Catherine. Because of that, I pay close attention to their announcements. Before any of this happened, I noticed an abrupt change from the original plan, which was for Harry and Meghan to keep their offices at Kensington Palace, to completely separating from Kensington Palace and establishing a new office at Buckingham Palace. There are any number of reasons why that bit of loose footedness occurred. The tabloids were abuzz about it being that Meghan and Catherine hated each other or some such. I never really believed that and still don't. I still think the rumors about William's supposed infidelity are likely BS. They are being reported somewhat differently than all the dumb Meghan and Catherine hogwash, but there could be legitimate reasons for that. What I am suggesting is that if the rumors are true, and again I think they are likely BS, that scenario fits the hamfisted way the separation of the royal houses ended up. Harry and Catherine have been very close over the years. If it came out, as has been suggested, that William was being unfaithful to her, I can easily see this upsetting him very much. I can also see him (and Meghan) wanting to distance themselves from that. Again--I still think it's probably just more tabloid BS. But I do find it interesting that the scenario explains the weirdness that has taken place in the last several months about the separation of the Sussex and Cambridge brands. There is no question in my mind that something happened. It's probably not because of this allegation about William. But what I have watched would be explained by that scenario.

I read the title and though-what sport /competition has he been cheating at? What a sheltered life I have.....hahahahahaha Yep. My mind went to the college scandals and that evidence must have been found that he cheated to get into college.... I'm just relieved I'm not the only who's brain went there FIRST! ETA No I don't believe any of it.. I also think like someone said about her having help with the kids. I know when they did the interviews or her and Will, was that they wanted to be very much hands on parents. So a little of each, especially for social engagments without kids.

Is this sarcasm? I don’t understand what your original comment meant, either, so it wasn’t sarcasm. I can’t tell if you’re agreeing with Annabella or mocking what she said. I took “you don’t half talk a load of shite” to mean she is saying something true, like “you don’t talk shit,” so you talk truth.

Yep. My mind went to the college scandals and that evidence must have been found that he cheated to get into college.... LOL.. the thought of William cheating on his wife didn't even enter my mind for a second.. He lived through all that crap... I just can't imagine he would fall into that.. Eh, I know plenty of people who watched and lived the terrible fall out from a parent cheating, including the deep pain (and sometimes poverty that followed a divorce) adn stlll went on to cheat themselves. In fact, I've seen more people from that background cheat than NOT cheat. A famous example is, of course, Angelina Jolie, who gave many interviews on how she would NEVER EVER NEVER be a cheater or be involved as "the other woman" due to watching what happened with her parents. And we all know how all of her moral high ground crumbled to dust when Brad Pitt came into her orbit. So that idea is not a sufficient reason to believe William would not cheat. I'd be more likely to believe he would not cheat because he seems far too smart to think he could get away with it. Also, he knows how much the Windsor brand and longevity depends on the public loving him and his family, so I cannot see him jeopardizing that for a poke, even a long-term poke.

It might not be a usage you understand, but it was clearly English, so the question was unnecessary too, at least in that form. ’don’t half’ is analogous to ‘really’, used for emphasis. ”you don’t half look like Angelina Jolie” = “you really look like Angelina Jolie” “I don’t half fancy you” = “I really fancy you” Fancy a drink after work? “Not half!” = “you bet / heck yes”

It’s spoken, pretty much, in an exasperated manner, probably while shaking the head and with an intake of breath. It’s really an insult but it can be said in fun too so it could be said jokingly between two friends. The tone is important. ETA jennyap has shown other uses for the term. I am referring to the specific used here.

I apologise to those who did not understand what I thought was a pretty universal phrase. My bad. (Which I believe is an Americanism now also widely used elsewhere in the English-speaking world. Despite the fact that grammatically it is completely nonsensical. ) As other UK Peas have said, it’s a common expression used in British English, even used in the title of a popular TV comedy of the 1970s “It Ain't Half Hot Mum". 'You don’t half' means 'you really do'. But I refuse to believe that anyone could be unaware what 'shite' is!

In which case, it would probably have been better to say "that’s a phrase I’ve never come across - what does it mean?" Remember, this is an international board, not just an American one.
