Back in 2012, veryprinceharry was contacted by the media about her knowledge of Harry’s Facebook profile.
Prince Harry's Fans Harassed for Secrets on 'Spike Wells' Facebook Account?
A week after photos emerged of Prince Harry romping in the nude with naked women at a Las Vegas hotel, it appears the British royal has suspended his Facebook account. Diehard fans of the 27-year-old monarch have been facing a barrage of questions from journalists as a result of the news.
Prince Harry reportedly temporarily shutdown a Facebook account he has been using for four years under the name "Spike Wells," based on his nickname. The news came Monday amid reports of continued fallout over images that were published on the Internet last week showing Prince William's young brother in the buff.
In addition to temporarily suspending his account, friends of the red hair royal have also momentarily put their accounts on the social network on lock.
It was reported by fans of Harry that Arthur Landon and Tom Inskip had followed the prince's lead by freezing their Facebook accounts. RadarOline described Landon and Inskip as Prince Harry's "confidantes." The pair were with the prince in Vegas and could be trying to avoid any more revealing images or incriminating comments from becoming public.
A fan of the British royal on Tumblr with the username "MrHarryWales" shared early Monday his observations of the Facebook accounts belonging to a few royals and their associates.
"Chelsy Davy has changed her facebook to timeline and she posted 2 cover photos that follow below," the fan noted, sharing the images.
"And for some weird reason the button to send her a message is available to me… not that I'm going to send her anything but still.. that's pretty exciting. I found James Middleton Facebook account and his cover photo (of his timeline) looks a bit weird. Cressida Bonas has not changed her profile picture for a picture of her in [V]egas so I guess she didn't go. That's it guys," the Tumblr fan concluded.
As word spread of Prince Harry's social network account being frozen, fans online were hit with questions, apparently from journalists begging to know details about the royal's "Spike Wells" Facebook profile, on which he reportedly had 400 friends.
Another fan going by the name "VeryPrinceHarry" on Tumblr was also apparently hit with unwanted attention from members of the media, based on messages of consolation from admirers of the prince.
"Oh my God, those journalist's messages! 'Don't worry, I won't tell the world' lol. That's the point of journalism! To inform the public! Oh goodness...but I'm glad they're contacting you, someone who does their research, instead of a blog that just dislikes Harry. Hopefully they'll stop pestering you soon," the person wrote.
Another message of support read: "You should not listen to the hate coward people send you on anon. You didn't do anything wrong, you refused to help fans to find Harry's FB so why would help those despicable journalists!! People really need to think before insulting you, you only posted a few pictures to us, the fans, and if you wanted them to get to a journalist you could have sold the link a long time ago !! And to finish, I'd like to say that I really respect you for respecting his privacy."
"VeryPrinceHarry" is the online name for an English university student named Emma who just may be Prince Harry's number one fan. Her Tumblr account on the young prince is chock full of photos of he and his family from throughout the years, as well as comments from other fans of the British royal.
In addition to a "Spike Wells" Facebook account, there is also a protected "Spike Wells" Twitter account, which may or may not belong to the 27-year-old prince. It features a photo of Prince Harry and the bio line: "I am an ordinary guy with an extraordinary life."
Since the images were published online of Prince Harry in the buff, debate has raged as to whether the outgoing monarch had crossed the line. It was also reported that officials at Wynn Resorts in Vegas where Harry stayed were investigating his visit. The young prince's girlfriend, Cressida Bonas, has also reportedly called it quits, and his role in the military might possibly be affected as well.
Prince Harry's fans, which include members of the British military, have resoundingly come to his defense. A Facebook page was even launched to show support for Prince Harry, having attracted 9,9000 members as of Monday afternoon. The administrator of the page calls on fans to "support Prince Harry with a naked salute!" The images uploaded by fans have, predictably, followed the command to a tee.

An article on Monday, Aug. 27, 2012, about Prince Harry's Facebook account incorrectly identified Tumblr user "MrHarryWales" as the fan who may have leaked information, or broke the news, about the account's existence and it being temporarily suspended. Emma later went on to feature in a documentary series called ‘The Royals’ on UK Channel 5 and later Netflix.
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 ...
In 2014 a blog called farthurlandon was created where it mocked Harry's friend Arthur Landon and accused him of all sorts of things like lying about charities and just being a douche. It also posted pictures from Arthur's social media. Arthur found the blog and threatened to expose their identity and got the lawyers involved. The following is a copy of worldofaristocrats post about the legal side of it and in support of Farthur. There’s the legal docs etc linked in this! They're super interesting and include screenshots of the blog. Does your privacy really matters on Tumblr? On the 6th of November 2014, a British Celebrity by the name of Arthur Timothy Landon filed a motion for discovery ( 1 ) against Tumblr to reveal the identity of one of its bloggers. The Petitioner (Mr Landon) states the blogger in question ( farthurlandon ) has been defaming him and used copyrighted materials on the blog in question. While most individuals would have just contact Tumblr or th...
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...
