you've been here for a long time so i think you might be able to help me with this… don't worry if you can't or that's it's rather random lol. what's all this fd [future duchess] fuss all about (harry i guess) - some history & background please? 😂 just gotta love they're using tarot and astrology to fuel their predictions as well… why ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i want to hear your perspective 🙂
claireofluxembourg:Back in the day, we had a flood of Henry fanfics with different storylines and shit, and that created a some sort of obsession of who would Henry’s wife be and what she would do, where did she come from and all those shennanigans so they created the acronym FD, which obviously means Future Duchess. Several blogs participated on them discussions about it, personally i never liked the term because they were putting this imaginary woman on a pedestal and if she didn’t turn out to be what they wanted, hell would break. 
And that’s what it happened cause I keep seeing that term popping up and down my dash when Henry is married to Meghan now, with a baby on the way. There is no Future Duchess no more, Meghan IS the Duchess of Sussex so keep talking about something like that is like basically wishing them apart, whatever way that happens and that’s not okay because as far as we are concerned, they are happily married, you cannot go and wish something bad to happen to someone’s marriage. That is an asshole thing to do tbh. Back then you can say it was “fun” cause we didn’t know but right now, keep fueling that, it’s not correct. If people want to keep writing fanfics that’s cool but taking that to a different context is not right whatsoever.
Hope that solved your doubt.

Another stroll down memory lane today bbs. This one’s about some Kate/Pippa fans who claimed to be in touch with Pippa. I was inspired to look into this moment again by anon and I know u guys love old tea. I actually had forgotten about the first part of this (before Camilla Tominey wrote a story about these girls). PART 1 So in Feb 2012 royallykate and pippadaily started teasing about something exciting that had happened. (I have no receipts from PD bc she deleted).  Ofc everyone starts freaking out But they kept everyone hanging for a whole day A day later, all was revealed! The gals had found a way to contact Pippa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (she deleted the tumblr post so this is all u get) Not only that - Pippa actually replied!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So everyone’s freaking out and congratulating them. And we finally get to hear what Pippa said (use your best yaya accent when u read these, really bring the image to life).  ...

The Rachel post (heavyarethecrowns)

Rachel has been the most talked about blogger in the fandom's history. This post will  compile EVERYTHING. Starting with the masterpost on who she is and leading onto the receipts. It's long, so buckle up.  1) WHO IS RACHEL? Rachel is the single most notorious member of the royal fandom. She’s disliked by an unbelievable amount of people for her lies, hypocrisy and misogyny.  Our story begins on the murky land called of the royal forums in the mid to late 2000s, where Rachel was a member of a few forums under the name Mousiekins. On these forums (namely Royal Dish, Royal Gossip and Secret Royal Forum), she said wonderful Christian (n.b. Rachel is a Christian) things about Kate Middleton as: “The sick, twisted part of me is glad she is going to be a Princess as I think it will be the classic case of “be careful what you wish for”. I want to see her being worked to the ground by the courtiers and ridiculed by the press. If she wants this job so bad let her ...

The Student

The story of the student is one of the most iconic because of its impact on the fandom at the time. In April-May 2012, infamous fandom member Rachel was notorious for making claims about her connections with friends of the royals and would sometimes drop unproven information. Meanwhile over on the ohnotheydidnt live journal, someone who I'll call G learnt about Rachel and her claims to have inside information.So G decided to start anoning Rachel asking if she’d heard about Harry dating a student and planting random bits of information. This student was created by G. Rachel said she had heard about the student and went on to confirm the things that her anon was telling her on the regular.There are no receipts from those blogs because both Rachel and the Student deleted those blogs. But here's mrharrywales discussing some of the details. The story escalated, not helped by the fact Harry was spotted in Oxford, leading people to speculate he was there to see the student. The fandom...
