VIDEO: The Five Biggest Haircut Trends of 2020<doc-sep>Even though Meghan Markle is about to make worldwide news by giving birth to the seventh in line to the British throne, Prince William, her second-in-line brother-in-law, has been a top trending topic over the past week. But William’s name hasn’t been a Twitter favorite because he looked kingly on a recent royal visit to New Zealand or because he and wife Kate Middleton celebrated their eighth wedding anniversary Monday. 🎊 8 years ago today — thank you for your lovely messages on The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding anniversary! pic.twitter.com/jDiIk7bs2V — Kensington Palace (@KensingtonRoyal) April 29, 2019 The 36-year-old future king instead has earned unflattering hashtags for what’s been dubbed by some publications as “the Turnip drama.” This drama centers on an unsubstantiated but persistent and sensational rumor that William may have become too friendly — or even had an affair — with an aristocratic country neighbor while Kate was pregnant with their third child. Fueling the anti-William sentiment and hashtags are people’s grievances that most of the U.K. media ignored William’s alleged indiscretions — all the while feverishly publishing negative stories about the American-born Meghan, saying she’s too “demanding,” or the cause of tensions between her and Kate or between her husband Prince Harry and William. Indeed, the grievances have given rise to conspiracy theories that push the idea that William himself, or people in his camp, have been playing “courtier games,” in the words of Lainey Gossip. These “junior minds” have been leaking negative stories about Meghan, either to quash her and Harry’s growing popularity or to distract attention from William’s alleged bad behavior. The cheating rumor first made its way into a few U.K. publications in late March, and then into some mainstream U.S. publications in early April. Incidentally, the root vegetable reference comes from “turnip toffs,” the improbable name of the posh social circle that William, Kate and neighbor Rose Cholmondeley belong to in rural Norfolk. Cholmondeley, a former model, is the wife of David Rocksavage, the Marquess of Cholmondeley, and she and her once-good friend Kate had some kind of falling out, tabloids reported. Nothing new or substantial has been reported for several weeks about the cheating rumor, or about Kate and Rose Cholmondeley’s damaged friendship. But the rumor hasn’t gone away, and it prompted an explosion of unflattering Twitter posts about William late last week, driven by concerns about a “double standard” in how the media covers him versus his sister-in-law, Lainey Gossip reported.

First, the rumor is pretty intriguing gossip, but it also keeps roiling because of how the royals have “badly mishandled their media,” especially in the past six months, Lainey Gossip said. After Harry and Meghan wed in a globally televised wedding in May 2018, their popularity exploded. In the fall, after announcing they were expecting and enjoying a successful royal tour to Australia, New Zealand the Pacific islands, their “rock star” status was “undeniable,” Lainey Gossip added. Then things started to turn. After Prince Charles’ 70th birthday in November, reports began to focus on Meghan allegedly making demands about which tiara to wear at her wedding, or sending Kate off crying during a dress fitting. The media also picked apart the former TV actress’s trendy, California tastes in food, her more “modern” approach to being a royal and her celebrity friends, as a way to differentiate between her and the more traditionally British Kate.

Harry has since started his own household, separate from his brother’s at Kensington Palace, and Harry and Meghan have moved from London to Frogmore Cottage, on the grounds of Windsor Castle, and recently launched their own Instagram account. Over the past week, “palace insiders,” perhaps playing more “courtier games,” have floated the story that the royal family is looking to have Harry and Meghan take up a new assignment that would send them abroad for several years, possibly to Africa. Depending on who is talking, this assignment could come with the positive spin of the royal family wanting to “harness” Harry and Meghan’s popularity to bring attention to important issues, according to an April 20 report in the Sunday Times in London. But others have told the Sunday Times that the assignment is intended push the newlyweds “out of the limelight” so they will stop overshadowing William and Kate. In a more recent report, Vanity Fair said Meghan and Harry’s overseas adventures most likely will consist of a series of short trips instead of a long-term move, and that they will wait to travel until 2020 at the earliest so that they have time at Frogmore Cottage with their new baby. “It’s worth pointing out that the Sussexes want to do this, this is being driven by them,” an apparently pro-Sussex source told Vanity Fair. Lainey Gossip noted that Meghan, who had been “taking (expletive) almost daily,” has found ways to clap back, using her celebrity experience to generate some positive headlines of her own, including about her baby shower in New York City with Serena Williams and Amal Clooney.<doc-sep>Ongoing rumors, slammed by the Royal family, about Prince William cheating on Kate Middleton, back when she was pregnant with the couple's third child have picked up speed and fans of the royal family are not having any of it. It's not clear what triggered these unfounded rumors. Prince William with Kate Middleton at St George's Chapel on April 21, 2019 in Windsor, England. (Photo by Eamonn M.

Meanwhile, Kate Middleton and Prince Harry stepped out for the Anzac Day of Service of Commemoration and Thanksgiving at London’s Westminster Abbey on Thursday morning. Kate looked fabulous is a teal Catherine Walker dress coat which she paired with a matching feather-adorned Rosie Olivia fascinator.

And by royals, we mean the British royal family, of course, led by the indomitable Queen Elizabeth. It’s easy for us to forget sometimes that the Windsors are human given the extraordinary and often unimaginable lives they lead, but a few times over the course of the past century, we’ve been reminded that they still have flaws. It appears that the males in the royal family, for example, have had to contend with a few cheating allegations over the years.

Scroll down for details about the Windsor men's alleged tales of infidelity. Prince Philip’s rumored dalliance with a Russian ballerina. Source: Getty Images Article continues below advertisement In Netflix’s acclaimed series The Crown, it was implied that Queen Elizabeth’s husband engaged in a romance with real-life Russian ballerina, Galina Ulanova, in the 1950s. Claire Foy’s Elizabeth is even shown discovering a miniature portrait of the dancer in Philip’s briefcase. However, there’s no hard evidence to support that the now 97-year-old ever cheated on his wife with the brunette beauty. In fact, though Philip has been linked to several other women during his marriage to Elizabeth — including actress Pat Kirkwood — biographer Sammy Bedell Smith, who has written a book on the Queen, claims very few rumors regarding the former naval officer have been substantiated. Philip himself appeared to shoot down any notion of past infidelity when a journalist once brought up the subject. "Good God, woman," he reportedly said. "Have you ever stopped to think that for years, I have never moved anywhere without a policeman accompanying me? So how the hell could I get away with anything like that?" We also wouldn’t dare cross Queen Elizabeth... Prince Charles’ not-so-secret relationship with Camilla.

Though the future king first dated his mistress in the early ‘70s, he was forced to move on when she married her first husband in 1973. Eight years later, Charles finally tied the knot after a whirlwind romance with Lady Diana Spencer. They welcomed two children, William and Harry, but soon after, the Prince of Wales resumed a physical relationship with Camilla, though the exact timeline of their affair is unknown.

"Well, there were three of us in this marriage so it was a bit crowded," she explained at the time. Just months before her tragic death, the beloved royal opened up about the moment she learned that Charles was still in love with Camilla, which happened mere weeks before their wedding. Source: Getty Images Article continues below advertisement "I was still too immature to understand all the messages coming my way," she told The Mirror in 1997. "And then someone in his office told me that my husband has had a bracelet made for her. I walked into this man's office one day and I said, 'Ooh, what's in that parcel?' And he said 'Oh, you shouldn't look at that.' So I opened it and there was the bracelet. I was devastated, and I said 'Well, he's going to give it to her tonight.'" The revered philanthropist, who later died in a car crash at the age of 36, added, "He'd found the virgin, the sacrificial lamb — and in a way he was obsessed with me, but it was hot and cold, hot and cold, you never knew what mood it was going to be, up and down, up and down." Prince Charles went on to marry Camilla in a 2005 civil ceremony at Windsor Guildhall. The mother-of-two became the Duchess of Cornwall following their union.<doc-sep>
An ongoing rumor that Prince William cheated on Kate Middleton with her friend while she was pregnant with their 3rd child continues to pick up speed, and royals fans are not having it! Now, he’s being slammed online with viral memes. An unfounded rumor that Prince William, 36, cheated on Kate Middleton, 37, when she was pregnant with their third child, Louis, won’t go away and the internet has noticed. An outpouring of now viral memes and tweets has the Duke of Cambridge trending online — and, not for good reason. Out of all the wild reactions to the cheating allegations, one common theme happens to be those coming to Meghan Markle‘s defense. Why would the actress turned Duchess of Sussex be dragged into the drama, you ask? Twitter goers are claiming that she gets criticized over the smallest things, such as smiling the wrong way, while Prince William is painted as someone who can do no wrong. Fans are hammering William with negative messages over the ongoing rumor, which has been swirling for months in the US. However, the same can’t be said for the claims within the UK news cycle. William’s attorneys with London law firm Harbottle and Lewis shot down the cheating allegations when In Touch Weekly published a cover story about a claim that William cheated with their aristocratic neighbor, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley, Rose Hanbury, in a recent April edition of the magazine. The law firm also threatened legal action to British publications who report the story. “In addition to being false and highly damaging, the publication of false speculation in respect of our client’s private life also constitutes a breach of his privacy pursuant to Article 8 of the European Convention to Human Rights,” attorneys with London law firm, which has represented the royal family before, said in a letter that was sent to at least one British publication after the release of In Touch Weekly‘s cover story, according to the Daily Beast. Harbottle and Lewis has stated that there is no truth to the story, and the law firm is now threatening legal action against UK media outlets if they regurgitate the story about the long-standing rumor, according to the Daily Beast.
