The RF would have a job proving they were in the dark. They're like the Borgias, secretive and powerful with spies everywhere and they know everything. They must have seen the press photos of the slipping, inflating, wobbling moonbump of all shapes and sizes. The baby that the babyshower was for vanished from its mother's tummy when she went out at night with her pimp, and reappeared inflated the next day.
Of course nobody said a word.
The RF never saw Fark before the Harkles left for Canada, yet they sent an imposter to South Africa to meet Tutu in September when Fark was supposed to be 4 months old but was at least twice that age. "Archie's Royal Tour!".
Senior working Royals they were. Royal Circus more like, cheap accommodation on fire and hiding from security by moving out to a different hotel as the oversized Fark had been returned to her parents.
Of course the Harkles were difficult and secretive from the outset, as what should have been a happy occasion for the family and the public was in fact a greedy and unlawful scam to make money.
The RF can't hide behind medical confidentiality
and give them titles in the LoS. If the children want secrecy and privacy, remove them from the RF altogether, that would be fine for us the public. Those entitled to take the Throne should be real people, not ghosts, and the RF has a duty to be honest.
The idea that Crazy Harry would die on the hill of his children's privacy, that without his noble intervention the Ho would have merched them to the hilt, is a joke. Harry has demanded and got titles and LoS places, while at the same time securing from the RF exemption from proof of life or proof of eligibility for the huge privileges the "children" hold. The Palace and the Harkles have got it both ways.
Not privacy, secrecy. This is illegal and they all know it, and this is making Chuck ill. The Harkles have aged him just as they aged his parents. The rot will stop at William and Catherine though as the Harkles have nothing on them.
