As a fan of Steely Dan, I can only hope that whenever the news comes out, The Royal Scam will be the background music. I can’t ima0gine what everyone was thinking - news like this can’t be hidden long-term. Much less damage will be done, I think, if it turns out to be a surrogacy situation rather than imaginary children. I would think that the immediate revocation of titles and places in the line of succession would have to take place. And I understand that Elba is lovely, if remote.
You're right it can't be hidden long term. It's interesting in the comments now many readers are now openly saying the children don't exist or are from surrogates.
If the Stoats admit their children are from surrogates, the RF will remove the titles that the Stoats have managed to get for them through blackmailing the RF. This will undo everything the Stoats have been fraudulently given - titles and places in the LoS. Not going to happen, and the RF would have some very difficult questions to answer.
The Stoats can keep up the Flatpack fraud indefinitely. People can speculate all they like but if the Stoats maintain they've got 2 Royal children it will hold. No matter how ludicrous the parties, pre-school hours away, other toddlers calling Legless 'Your Royal Highness'. All this is designed to pressurise Chuck, as the RF are the ones with the problem here and not the Stoats, and the Stoats will hold their nerve and demand money.
I'm trying to think how it could pan out with least damage to the Monarchy, and thought long ago that honesty would be the best policy. Come clean and get rid of the blackmailers. The Ho could say she was forced into deception by the RF. Whatever happens, the Ho will have a back-up plan and receipts and tie them up in knots for ever, unless the RF put their hands up and come up with a sensible explanation as to why they went along with the fraud. Free themselves and us, once and for all. The advantage of this now as opposed to even 2 years ago is that the Stoats have been exposed as corrupt and evil, trashing all their relatives except inmate Snakebite.
Medical confidentiality as a reason for the scam will not wash on a matter of constitutional importance like this. For medical confidentiality in normal everyday life like for us, the case would have to be examined and there would have to be real children for such confidentiality to apply. In the case of our Royal Family strict rules and protocols apply, but they've been made a joke of and our Monarchy has been brought into disrepute.
People would understand and the RF would weather the storm, and
this is how Chuck should grow a pair. Not sitting the Stoat 10 rows back and not toasting Fffarrke.
"Fatty" Soames, in charge of handling the Stoats, please tell Chuck and William and Catherine. Come clean.
Not calling him "Fatty" as an insult, this has always been his nickname.
