Did Prince Harry Hire A New Divorce Lawyer?!

Did Prince Harry just hire a new divorce lawyer, amidst rumours of a new marital crisis with Meghan Markle?!

Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Prince Harry Just Hired A New Divorce Lawyer!

People are sharing a Music Mundial article which claims that Prince Harry just hired a new divorce lawyer amidst rumours of “a new marital crisis” with Meghan Markle!

Here is the viral Music Mundial article. Please feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

Prince Harry reportedly hired a lawyer specializing in divorce proceedings

The marriage of Prince Harry of the United Kingdom and former actress Meghan Markle is being keenly followed by the British media after a recent wave of speculations claimed that the couple would be experiencing a new marital crisis. And today, a royal authority has confirmed that King Charles III’s youngest son would have retained a divorce attorney.

Lady Colin Campbell, a socialite and authority on the British royal family, has disclosed that the Duke of Sussex has retained a new attorney who specializes in divorce cases.

She also guarantees that the legal staff has experience handling divorce cases. She also highlights the couple’s stance in front of the media, where they refused to divulge their personal issues.

Along with this circumstance, there are current rumors from British media outlets like The Sun detailing the purported crisis the marriage is undergoing. According to the aforementioned media, Prince Harry would even stay the evenings in a hotel room that would be exclusively his.

No Evidence Prince Harry Hired A New Divorce Lawyer!

This is yet another example of celebrity FAKE NEWS created by Music Mundial to generate page views, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Prince Harry Reportedly Called In Lawyers Months Ago

Claims that Prince Harry is planning to divorce Meghan Markle have been circulating for months, even years!

This latest rumour is based on a GB News interview with Lady Colin Campbell on or about 26 May 2023, who was commenting on reports that Prince Harry reserved two hotel rooms for his personal use – near his home in Montecito, and another in Los Angeles.

She told GB News that she heard from “five totally reliable sources” that Prince Harry “called in the lawyers some months ago“.

There have been problems in the marriage supposedly for some time. I mean, I have heard from five totally reliable sources that Harry called in the lawyers some months ago.

Lady Campbell then goes on to state why this has not become public:

The problem is that the information doesn’t necessarily match up with their public face. But of course, their public face is to an extent slapped on for monetary gain.

And also if there are real problems in the marriage, which there do appear to be, Harry’s going to have a heck of a time extricating himself, because he has been very overt about all of his failings and all of his drug-taking.

However, Lady Campbell never said that Prince Harry actually hired any of the lawyers he “called in”. She also said that they were called in “months ago”.

It is possible that Prince Harry may have considered a divorce “months ago” and even “called in the lawyers” to consult them. But he evidently did not move on with those divorce plans, if they even existed.

Fact #2 : No Other Media Outlets Reported On Those Rumours

Celebrity rumours are common, and help pay the bills of many media outlets. However, no legitimate media outlets, not even celebrity websites like TMZ, reported that Prince Harry hired a divorce lawyer.

That’s likely because they looked into the rumour, and could not substantiate them. The only sources for this claim so far is Lady Colin Campbell, and even she did not claim that he actually hired a divorce lawyer!

Fact #3 : Music Mundial Does Not Offer Any Evidence

Music Mundial did not offer any evidence that Prince Harry hired a new divorce lawyer. Its claim that Lady Colin Campbell “disclosed that the Duke of Sussex has retained a new attorney who specialised in divorce cases” is not true.

As pointed out earlier, Lady Campbell only said that Prince Harry called in the lawyers many months ago. She never said that Prince Harry hired a divorce lawyer at that time, and certainly did not say that he hired “a new attorney”.

Fact #6 : This Is Just Music Mundial Fake News

This appears to be nothing more than yet another example of celebrity fake news posted by Music Mundial. Here are examples of Music Mundial fake news that I looked into:

Did Meghan Markle Have Affair With Chris Sanchez?!

Did Meghan Markle cheat on Prince Harry, by having an affair with her bodyguard Chris Sanchez?!

Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Meghan Markle Had Affair With Chris Sanchez!

People are sharing a Music Mundial article which claims that Meghan Markle cheated on Prince Harry, by having an affair with her bodyguard Chris Sanchez!

Here is the viral Music Mundial article. Please feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

Meghan Markle allegedly cheated on Prince Harry with a bodyguard named Chris Sánchez

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s marriage has been surrounded by controversies after multiple declarations against the royal family. However, something drew the attention of the media after it was revealed that Meghan Markle allegedly had an affair with her bodyguard.

The rumors first surfaced a couple of months ago. According to In Touch, the Duchess of Sussex had an affair with Christopher Sánchez, a bodyguard who has also worked with the former American presidents George Bush and Barack Obama. He started working for her a couple of months ago and it was love at first sight.

Sánchez is the vice president of Torchstone Global which specializes in risk mitigation and security. Thanks to this job, he was able to connect with the royal couple as Meghan Markle was looking for a bodyguard to protect her family after she and Harry moved to the United States to start a new life far away from the controversies of the royal family.

Christopher Sánchez has always worked in the security field and he has achieved great success being the bodyguard of important former presidents. According to American media, he quit his job when the rumors surfaced on the internet. As of today, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have not released any statement regarding the situation.

No Evidence Meghan Markle Had Affair With Chris Sanchez

This is yet another example of celebrity FAKE NEWS created by Music Mundial to generate page views, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : This Is Old Fake News

These claims that Meghan Markle cheated on Prince Harry by having an affair with Chris Sanchez isn’t even new. It’s been circulating since November 2022.

Fact #2 : In Touch Article Does Not Exist

The In Touch article on Meghan Markle cheating on Prince Harry with her bodyguard, Chris Sanchez does not exist.

If it existed in the past, it appears to have been deleted – another sign that it was probably false. Just like how Spanish sports publication El Desmarque recently deleted their false article claiming that Al-Nassr president called Cristiano Ronaldo a scam.

Fact #3 : No Legitimate Media Reported On Those Rumours

Celebrity rumours are common, and help pay the bills of many media outlets. However, no legitimate media outlets, not even celebrity websites like TMZ, reported on these rumours of an affair between Meghan Markle and her bodyguard, Chris Sanchez.

That’s likely because they looked into the rumour, and found nothing remotely believable. The only sources for this claim are no-name celebrity blogs referring to the same non-existent In Touch article.

Fact #3 : Chris Sanchez Is Still Part Of Their Security Team

Chris Sanchez is a former Secret Service agent, and the Vice President of the security firm, TorchStone Global. He is believed to have joined the security team protecting Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and their family sometime in 2021.

He was first seen publicly during the Sussexes’ visit to the Invictus Games at The Hague on Saturday, April 16, 2022. More recently, he was part of the security detail protecting them during the recent paparazzi chase in New York City in May 2023.

The fact that Chris Sanchez continues to work for the couple today shows that even Prince Harry does not believe in the rumours.

Fact #5 : Music Mundial Does Not Offer Any Evidence

Music Mundial did not offer even a single shred of evidence of an affair between Meghan Markle and Chris Sanchez.

Like many no-name celebrity blogs, it only refers to the non-existent In Touch article as the source.

Fact #6 : This Is Just Music Mundial Fake News

This appears to be nothing more than yet another example of celebrity fake news posted by Music Mundial. Here are examples of Music Mundial fake news that I looked into:

Uncle Roger Cancelled In China After Xi Jinping Joke!

Malaysian comedian Uncle Roger just got cancelled from Chinese social media platforms after making jokes about Xi Jinping and China!

Uncle Roger Cancelled In China After Xi Jinping Joke!

Uncle Roger just got cancelled from Chinese social media platforms after making jokes about Xi Jinping and China!

The Malaysian comedian, whose real name is Nigel Ng, said that his accounts on Bilibili and Weibo where he has 400,000 followers, were suspended due to a “violation of relevant laws and regulations“!

This crackdown by Chinese authorities came after he posted a video clip on Twitter and YouTube called “Uncle Roger about to get cancelled“.

In that video clip, which appears to be from an undated standup show, Uncle Roger cracked some jokes about China and Taiwan.

Uncle Roger : Are you from Boston?

Audience : Originally from Guangzhou.

Uncle Roger : Guangzhou, China. China, okay, China. Good country. Good country. Good country. Good country. Phew! We have to say that now, correct? All the phone listening. All the phone listening. This nephew got HUAWEI phone. They all listening.

Uncle Roger (tapping his phone) : All our phone tap into it. Long live President Xi. Long live President Xi. Phew! Uncle Roger social credit score going up. Nice.

Uncle Roger : Any niece and nephew from Taiwan?

[Audience woos]

Uncle Roger : Not a real… not a real country. I hope one day you rejoin the motherland. One China.

[Audience laughs]

Uncle Roger : No, don’t clap too hard. This not political show. No, don’t clap. Uncle Roger gonna get cancelled after tonight.

Uncle Roger (looking at audience member) : Nice. Go write good report for Uncle Roger, okay? Dear CCP, Uncle Roger good comrade. Good comrade. Don’t make him disappear, please.

Even though both Twitter and YouTube are not accessible in China, Chinese authorities apparently felt aggrieved enough to order the cancellation of Uncle Roger’s social media accounts in China.

Uncle Roger Proves Chinese Cancel Culture + Rides Controversy!

Despite being cancelled on Chinese social media, and losing access to thousands of his fans, this appears to be a deliberate and incredibly smart move by Nigel Ng.

Chinese comedian Li Haoshi (who goes by the stage name, House), was just arrested and fined $2.1 million for making a joke about a Xi Jinping slogan. So Nigel Ng is well aware of the danger of criticising Xi Jinping and/or the CCP government.

Yet, he deliberately dropped the video clip on Twitter and YouTube right after the Li Haoshi controversy exploded, with the title “Uncle Roger about to get cancelled“. And the CCP government in China took his bait, and promptly cancelled him.

In one swoop, Nigel made his Uncle Roger character famous worldwide. His cancellation is now international news, exposing millions of people to his jokes and character. His 400,000 Weibo fans are now a drop in the bucket. His two video clips have now been viewed MILLIONS of times!

And thanks to his newfound fame and reach, Nigel Ng should see a huge boost in pre-order of the full video which is set to be released on June 4, 2023.

By taking Nigel’s bait, the CCP government just showed the world how it does not operate according to the rule of law. Rather, the CCP government under President Xi Jinping operates autocratically using the rule by law. Anyone who offends Xi Jinping or the CCP government in any way, will get the law thrown at them, whether it is right or not.

The controversy also highlighted the difference between CCP-controlled mainland China, and democratic Taiwan. Even though Uncle Roger in the clip called Taiwan “not a real country”, he was not cancelled in Taiwan because Taiwan not only allows free speech, it protects that right in its constitution.

Nigel Ng certainly isn’t losing any sleep over getting cancelled by the CCP government in China, because he now lives in the United Kingdom where free speech is also protected. In fact, he just doubled down by reposting the video on Twitter, with the message “for some reason this clip got a ton of views this past weekend. I wonder why” together with a pre-order link for his full video.

I should point out that this is not Nigel Ng’s first rodeo with Chinese nationalists.. In January 2021, he was severely criticised on Weibo for collaborating with Chinese-American YouTuber Mike Chen, who is well-known for his critical views of the CCP government.

Even though both did not mention politics during their vote, the social media backlash forced Nigel to apologise for the collaboration, even acknowledging that the video created a “bad social impact”. At that time, he removed all videos involving Mike Chen – which drew criticism that he was too weak.

However, it appears that Nigel Ng may have grown some cojones since then. Good for him!

Comedian in China arrested + fined US$2.1 Million!

Leave a reply

A comedian in China was just arrested and fined US$2.1 million for using a CCP slogan created by Chinese President Xi Jinping in his joke!

China Arrests + Fines Comedian US$2.1 Million For CCP Joke!

In the communist utopia of China, comedian Li Haoshi (who goes by the stage name, House) was just arrested by police after being fined a whopping 14.67 million yuan, which works out to about US$2.1 million!

What dastardly crime did Li Haoshi / House commit to deserve such a massive fine, and arrest? Well, the Chinese comedian simply made a joke using a CCP slogan created by Chinese President Xi Jinping!

The fine was issued by the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism, which concluded that his show was “a plot amounting to a serious insult to the People’s Liberation Army, and creates a bad social influence“.

We will never allow any company or individual to wantonly slander the glorious image of the People’s Liberation Army on a stage in the [Chinese] capital, never allow the people’s deep feelings for the soldiers to be hurt, and never allow serious subjects to be turned into entertainment.

What a glorious statement indeed by the most noble bureau of culture in China!

The Bureau confiscated RMB 1.32 million in “illegal proceeds” from the entertainment company representing House, and fined it RMB 13.35 million. The company was also banned from performing in Beijing indefinitely.

But that was not the end. On Wednesday, May 17, the Chaoyang branch of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau stated that an investigation was opened against Li Haoshi / House for making “derogatory remarks against the People’s Liberation Army”.

On the morning of Thursday, May 18, the comedian was arrested by the police. There has been no word on his whereabouts since then.

The US$2.1 Million CCP Joke That Made China Mad!

So what exactly was the world’s most expensive joke all about?

During his show in Beijing on Saturday, Li Haoshi / House spoke about how he adopted two stray dogs since moving to Shanghai. He joked that when they chased after a squirrel one day, he was reminded of these eight words:

作风优良，能打胜仗
Good style of work, capable of winning battles

That was a flipped version of the slogan that was coined by Chinese President Xi Jinping in 2013, when he set out a list of qualities he wanted from the People’s Liberation Army (PLA)

建设一支听党指挥能打胜仗作风优良的人民军队
Build a people’s army that obeys the party’s command and can win battles with a good style of work

In the audio shared to Weibo, his audience can be heard laughing at the joke. Unfortunately, it went viral and caught the attention of Chinese nationalists and then the CCP government.

His joke was deemed to be insulting because “dogs” and “stray dogs” are used as insults in China. It is also common for Chinese netizens to also use insults like “American lapdogs”, for example.

In other words, his joke was perceived to be insulting both President Xi Jinping (who coined the slogan), and the PLA by referring to its soldiers as “stray dogs” that can win battles with a good style of work.

At military parades, especially when Xi Jinping is watching, PLA soldiers will often shout the slogan:

听党指挥，能打胜仗，作风优良！
Follow the Party’s command, capable of winning battles, with excellent conduct!

Now, such jokes may be par for the course in many free, democratic societies, but Li Haoshi / House appeared to have forgotten that China under the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is neither free nor democratic.

If he made the same joke using a slogan by Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen, he would have gotten only laughs, because Taiwan is free and democratic. Unfortunately, he made a joke about the CCP and the PLA. Even worse, he made a joke about something Xi Jinping said, and that was the ultimate sin that anyone in mainland China can commit.

Li Haoshi / House and his company were not the only casualties of this expensive joke. Three other comedy companies suspended all of their performances as a result of this controversy :

Danli Ren Comedy (单立人喜剧),
Owl Comedy (猫头鹰喜剧), and
Xiaosheng Comedy Club (笑生喜剧脱口秀俱乐部)

Even more startling – a 34 year-old woman surnamed Shi was detained by police in Dalian city, after she posted a comment online, asking “Why should House be banned? Aren’t all soldier brothers also dog brothers?”

This goes to show just how closely the CCP government monitors speech in China, and how swiftly and mercilessly it strikes at people who even deigns to mock its authority.

Former exec: China has backdoor access to TikTok data!

Leave a reply

A former top ByteDance executive is alleging that the China has backdoor access to all TikTok data!

Former Exec : China Has Backdoor Access To TikTok Data!

A former top executive at ByteDance – TikTok’s parent company, has just claimed that it built a “backdoor channel” in its code to allow the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) supreme access to user data in TikTok.

This revelation came as part of the lawsuit that Roger Yu Yintao, filed against ByteDance for wrongful termination from his job as head of engineering in the United States. He says he worked there from August 2017 till November 2018.

In his lawsuit filed on May 12 at the San Francisco Superior Court, Roger Yu alleges that he was fired from his job for his “observation and reporting of illegal conduct” at ByteDance to his supervisors.

He said he observed ByteDance being “responsive to the CCP’s requests” to share, elevate, or even remove content”, describing the company as “a useful propaganda tool for the Chinese Communist Party”, and is engaged in a “culture of lawlessness”.

More shockingly, he claimed that the CCP has a special office in ByteDance, sometimes referred to as the “Committee”. Its task was allegedly to monitor ByteDance, and advise it on how to advance “core Communist values”.

He also claimed that the CCP “Committee” can demote content it viewed as unfavourable to China’s interests, and even has a “death switch” to turn off Chinese versions of its apps.

Roger Yu also claimed that he “saw the backdoor channel in the code”. If true, such a backdoor would give China and the CCP government unfettered access to all data in TikTok, no matter where the data is located.

The Committee maintained supreme access to all the company data, even data stored in the United States.

Roger Yu Yintao (left) and ByteDance founder, Zhang Yiming, at ByteDance, 2015

Allegedly, ByteDance was “aware that if the Chinese government’s backdoor was removed from the international / US version of the app, the Chinese government would, it feared, ban the company’s valuable Chinese-version apps”.

Roger Yu also accused ByteDance of scraping data from its competitors – mainly Instagram and Snapchat, without users’ permission. He claimed that ByteDance used software to “systematically” collect videos from its competitors, and repost them to its own platform using fake accounts, without their creators’ permission.

ByteDance Denies Allegations Of Backdoor Access For China

A ByteDance spokesperson has denied the allegations laid out in Roger Yu Jintao’s lawsuit, claiming that he only worked for a short time on an unrelated app called Flipagram, which was discontinued for business reasons.

We plan to vigorously oppose what we believe are baseless claims and allegations in this complaint.

Mr. Yu worked for ByteDance Inc. for less than a year and his employment ended in July 2018.

According to earlier reporting of Roger Yu Yintao’s lawsuit, he realised that ByteDance had been engaged for years in a “worldwide scheme” to steal and profit from content created on other platforms soon after he began his job.

In response to those allegations, the ByteDance spokesperson said that the company is “committed to respecting the intellectual property of other companies, and we acquire data in accordance with industry practices and our global policy.”

Did Joe Biden Insult Britain With Coronation Snub?!

Leave a reply

Did Joe Biden insult Britain by refusing to attend the Coronation of King Charles III?!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Joe Biden Insulted Britain With Coronation Snub!

Donald Trump keeps criticising President Joe Biden for refusing to attend the Coronation of King Charles III!

Donald Trump : Joe Biden should have been at the Coronation of King Charles III. Is that really so much to ask? The people of the U.K. are greatly insulted. No wonder we are losing support all over the World. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!

Donald Trump : Certainly, he should be here as our representative of our country. I was very surprised, I think it’s very disrespectful for him not to be here. I don’t think he can do it physically.

Truth : Joe Biden Did Not Insult Britain With Coronation Absence!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created by Donald Trump, and spread by MAGA conservatives, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : US Presidents Have Never Gone To Coronations

First, let me just point out that no sitting US president has ever attended a British coronation since the country gained its independence in 1776.

Before the reign of Queen Victoria, the US-UK relationship was adversarial because of the American Revolution and the War of 1812. Even when relations improved, President Martin Van Buren did not attend when Queen Victoria ascended the throne.

Fact #2 : It Was Not Practical To Attend In The Past

In President Van Buren’s case, it was not practical for him to attend Queen Victoria’s coronation because it was simply too troublesome to travel such a long distance for the ceremony.

Even when it came to the coronation of King George VI in 1937, it was not practical for President Franklin D. Roosevelt to attend.

It only became somewhat practical to travel for such ceremonies when transatlantic air travel started in 1939.

Fact #3 : US Presidents Always Send Representatives

Despite cultivating a relationship during World War 2, President Dwight Eisenhower also chose to keep to tradition, and did not attend the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.

Instead, he sent three representatives instead – California governor Earl Warren, former Secretary of State George Marshall, and the chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff Omar Bradley.

For the coronation of King Charles III, President Biden chose to send his wife, First Lady Dr. Jill Biden, and one of his granddaughters, Finnegan Biden, to represent him and the United States.

Fact #4 : Joe Biden Congratulated King Charles In Advance

On April 4, 2023, President Joe Biden congratulated King Charles on his upcoming Coronation, and informed him that he would be sending his wife, First Lady Jill Biden to attend on behalf of the United States.

He also conveyed his desire to meet with King Charles in the United Kingdom at a future date.

President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. spoke today with King Charles III, underscoring the strength of the relationship between our countries and the friendship between our peoples. The President congratulated the King on his upcoming Coronation and informed him that First Lady Jill Biden looks forward to attending on behalf of the United States. The President also conveyed his desire to meet with the King in the United Kingdom at a future date.

Fact #5 : King Charles Invited Biden For A State Visit

On April 5, 2023, King Charles invited President Joe Biden to the United Kingdom for a state visit, which Biden accepted.

That invitation came during a conversation between King Charles and President Biden the day earlier. White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre said:

The president was appreciative of the offer by the King and looks forward to that state visit.

She also said that a specific date or timeline for the state visit has not been determined, but that it would be “in the near future”.

Fact #6 : Donald Trump Wasn’t Even Invited

Donald Trump is likely to be annoyed and upset that King Charles did not even invite him to the Coronation. That could explain his need to keep criticising Biden for not attending, even though he was formally invited.

Trump is often outspoken about his “closeness” to Queen Elizabeth II, and other world leaders and celebrities in general. To be snubbed for such a major event must have been a real dent to his considerable ego.

Fact #7 : This Is Just Fake News About Joe Biden

This is just another example of political fake news to smear Joe Biden, and here are other examples:

Did ICC Just Issue Arrest Warrant For Joe Biden?!

Did the ICC (International Criminal Court) just issue an arrest warrant for President Joe Biden for attacking the Nord Stream pipelines?!

Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : ICC Just Issued Arrest Warrant For President Joe Biden!

People are sharing a YouTube video which shows the ICC (International Criminal Court) issuing an arrest warrant for President Joe Biden for his role in the destruction of the Nord Stream pipelines!

BREAKING NEWS!! Arrest Warrant Issued For President Biden For Nord Stream

How To Be A Hypocrite From AlienJacket Show How The Actions Of The West Divides The World Instead Of Bring It Together.

Truth : ICC Did Not Issue Arrest Warrant For President Joe Biden!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created by pro-Russia activists, and promoted / shared by the Chinese 50 Cent Army (wumao, 五毛) and pro-CCP netizens, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : This Video Was From July 2022

While this video is being presented as new – “Breaking News!!“, it is actually more than 9 months old.

I traced the video to the opening statement of ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim A. A. Khan QC, which was recorded on July 14, 2022.

Fact #2 : ICC Called For Cooperation Into Ukraine War Crimes Probe

In the original video, ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan was speaking at the Ukraine Accountability Conference in The Hague, where he called for “an overarching strategy” to bring the perpetrators of war crimes in Ukraine to justice.

The simple truth is that, as we speak, children, women and men, the young and the old, are living in terror.

Just in case you are wondering – the Ukraine Accountability Conference was held to coordinate efforts to create a coherent approach in ensuring accountability for war crimes committed in Ukraine.

Fact #3 : Viral Video Features A Fake “Satire” Voice-Over

The video is real, but the original audio was replaced by a fake “satire” voice-over. Karim Khan spoke English in the original video, so there was no need for a translator.

The fake video creator actually mentioned this in the video’s title, but intentionally made the extra long to reduce visibility of that disclaimer. The fake news creator also mentioned the use of a fake voice-over in the description:

BREAKING NEWS!! Arrest Warrant Issued For President Biden For Nord Stream (Satire Interpreter Voice)

How To Be A Hypocrite From AlienJacket Show How The Actions Of The West Divides The World Instead Of Bring It Together. Satire Interpreter Voice To Show What An Alternate Reality Would Look Like Or Prefer. Again, Satire Satire Satire!

This goes to show just how many people don’t bother to even read the title. Of course, when it comes to pro-Russia and pro-CCP netizens, who cares? If it is anti-America, it must be true.

Fact #4 : It Was Posted By A New “Parody” YouTube Account

The viral video was posted by a new YouTube account created on March 15, 2023. So far, this YouTube channel – AlienJacket, posted seven anti-Western videos – six of which are fake “parody” videos.

The only non-parody video is of Zambian politician Fred M’membe criticising the United States at China’s recent “democracy forum” – the the Second International Forum on Democracy.

Fact #5 : Unknown Who Destroyed Nord Stream 2 Pipelines

It is currently unknown who destroyed the Nord Stream 2 pipelines. As far as plausible reasons go, many countries had plausible reasons to destroy the Nord Stream pipelines:

US : To prevent allies in Europe from being held hostage by their reliance on cheap Russian gas.
UK : To encourage allies in Europe to support Ukraine in its fight against the Russian invasion.
Russia : To stop supplying Europe without breaking its gas supply contracts, and/or to divide Europe.
Ukraine : To unite Europe against Russia.

While motive is important, it is not evidence that a country has committed the crime. There has to be actual evidence that the US / UK / Russia / Ukraine did it.

Regardless of what armchair experts may claim, there is simply no conclusive evidence YET that any of those countries are responsible for the destruction of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines.

Did Kate Middleton Just Attack Prince Harry + Meghan?!

Did Kate Middleton just attack Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, and criticise their relationship?!

Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Kate Middleton Just Attacked Prince Harry + Meghan!

People are sharing a Music Mundial article which claims that Kate Middleton just attacked Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, and criticised their relationship!

Here is the viral Music Mundial article. Please feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

Kate Middleton attacks Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and criticizes their relationship

Kate Middleton is not afraid to speak her mind as she has reportedly let her opinion regarding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s relationship be known. As a result, it is highly unlikely that the two royal couples reconcile before King Charles III’s coronation.

The Princess of Wales is one of the most beloved and popular public royal figures and some have gone as far as calling her the new princess’ people. However, some people have claimed over the years that her personality and attitude in private are completely different.

In the last few years, there have been several reports that ensure that Kate has had many heated confrontations with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle because she allegedly cannot stand Meghan’s presence and still does not see her as a member of the royal family.

According to the Spanish newspaper MARCA, a source close to the family revealed that Kate feels irritated by Markle’s unhealthy obsession with money: “The way they see it, Meghan’s obsession with money seems to have rubbed off on Harry. In their eyes, Meghan seems very preoccupied with image and money and they find it very distasteful.”

Although it has already been confirmed that Meghan won’t attend the coronation ceremony, Harry will have to face his family, including Kate, after all the controversies and the international media will for sure be focused on all of them analyzing their behaviour.

Truth : Kate Middleton Did Not Attack Prince Harry + Meghan!

This is yet another example of celebrity FAKE NEWS created by Music Mundial to generate page views, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Kate Middleton Did Not Attack Prince Harry + Meghan Markle

First, let me just quickly say that Kate Middleton did not attack Prince Harry or Meghan Markle.

Music Mundial based that claim on a third-party source close to the family, who allegedly said that Kate feels “irritated by Meghan’s unhealthy obsession with money“.

Even if that quote is accurate, it only shows Kate Middleton’s personal opinion of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

It isn’t an attack on Prince Harry or Meghan herself, anymore than our personal opinion of the Avatar 2 movie is an attack on the movie, actors, and producers!

More importantly, this was revealed by a unanimous source (which has not been independently verified), and not Kate Middleton herself. So it was certainly not an “attack” by her in any way.

Fact #2 : Kate Middleton Did Not Criticise Their Relationship

Music Mundial did not offer any evidence that Kate Middleton criticised Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s relationship, so that claim is obviously false too.

Fact #3 : Radar Online Was The Source, Not MARCA

The source for the key quote in the Music Mundial article was not MARCA, but Radar Online. MARCA credited Radar Online for the quote:

The Duchess of Cambridge, Harry’s sister-in-law, is said to be irritated by Markle’s obsession over money.

“The way they see it, Meghan’s obsession with money seems to have rubbed off on Harry,” a source told Radar Online.

“In their eyes, Meghan seems very preoccupied with image and money and they find it very distasteful.”

As you can see, Radar Online was the source, not MARCA. If Music Mundial cannot even get this right…

Fact #4 : This Is Just Music Mundial Fake News

This appears to be nothing more than yet another example of celebrity fake news posted by Music Mundial. Here are examples of Music Mundial fake news that I looked into:

Did Germany accuse US of blowing up Nord Stream 2?!

Leave a reply

Did Germany just publicly accuse the US of blowing up Nord Stream 2 at the United Nations?!

Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Germany Accuses US Of Blowing Up Nord Stream 2!

People are sharing a YouTube video which shows Olaf Scholz, the Chancellor of Germany, publicly accusing the US of blowing up Nord Stream 2 at the United Nations!

BREAKING NEWS!!! Germany Accuses US Of Blowing Up Nord Stream 2.
Bravo – finally 👍👏

How To Be A Hypocrite Show How The Actions Of The West Divides The World Instead Of Bring It Together

Fierce and powerful recent speech of German Chancellor on Americans blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline, the aggressive using of Ukraine to start a war against Russia . ‘ We are the baddies’

Truth : Germany Did Not Accuse US Of Blowing Up Nord Stream 2!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created by pro-Russia activists, and promoted / shared by the Chinese 50 Cent Army (wumao, 五毛) and pro-CCP netizens, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Olaf Scholz Was Denouncing Russia’s Invasion Of Ukraine

I traced the video to a speech German Chancellor Olaf Scholz gave at the United Nations General Assembly’s 77th session on 20 September 2022

In the original, unedited video, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz did not accuse the US of blowing up the Nord Stream 2 pipelines. Instead, he denounced Russia’s invasion of Ukraine:

There is no justification whatsoever for Russia’s war of occupation against Ukraine. President Putin is waging this war with one single objective: to seize Ukraine. Self-determination, political independence do not count for him.

And there’s only one word for this – this is imperialism, plain and simple. The return of imperialism is not only a disaster for Europe, but also a disaster for our global peaceful order.

If we want this war to end, then we cannot be indifferent to how it ends. Putin will only give up his war and his imperialist ambitions if he realizes that he cannot wi.

This is why we will not accept a peace dictated by Russia. This is why we will not accept any pretentious referenda. And this is why Ukraine must be able to defend itself against Russia’s invasion.

Fact #2 : It Features A Fake “Satire” Voice-Over

The video is real, but the original audio was replaced by a fake male “satire” voice-over. The original, unedited video features a female interpreter, which you can view below.

BREAKING NEWS!!! Germany Accuses US Of Blowing Up Nord Stream 2. (Satire Interpreter Voice)

How To Be A Hypocrite Show How The Actions Of The West Divides The World Instead Of Bring It Together. Satire Interpreter Voice To Show What The Rest Of The World World Prefer.

This goes to show just how many people don’t bother to even read the title. Of course, when it comes to pro-Russia and pro-CCP netizens, who cares? If it is anti-America, it must be true.

Fact #3 : It Was Posted By A New “Parody” YouTube Account

The viral video was posted by a new YouTube account created on March 15, 2023.

So far, this YouTube channel – AlienJacket, posted six anti-Western videos – five of which are fake “parody” videos.

The only non-parody video is of Zambian politician Fred M’membe criticising the United States at China’s recent “democracy forum” – the the Second International Forum on Democracy.

Fact #4 : Unknown Who Destroyed Nord Stream 2 Pipelines

It is currently unknown who destroyed the Nord Stream 2 pipelines. As far as plausible reasons go, many countries had plausible reasons to destroy the Nord Stream pipelines:

US : To prevent allies in Europe from being held hostage by their reliance on cheap Russian gas.
UK : To encourage allies in Europe to support Ukraine in its fight against the Russian invasion.
Russia : To stop supplying Europe without breaking its gas supply contracts, and/or to divide Europe.
Ukraine : To unite Europe against Russia.

While motive is important, it is not evidence that a country has committed the crime. There has to be actual evidence that the US / UK / Russia / Ukraine did it.

Regardless of what armchair experts may claim, there is simply no conclusive evidence YET that any of those countries are responsible for the destruction of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines.

Did BMW MINI Give Ice-Cream Only To Foreigners In China?!

Leave a reply

Chinese netizens are calling for a boycott of BMW MINI, after claiming that it only gave free ice-cream to foreigners!

Chinese Netizens : BMW MINI Only Gives Ice-Cream To Foreigners!

On Thursday, 20 April 2023, Chinese netizens exploded over a viral video recorded a day earlier at the Shanghai International Automobile Industry Exhibition.

It showed BMW MINI employees giving free ice-cream to a foreigner, but refusing to give it to the Chinese man recording the video, and his girlfriend.

That led to claims that BMW MINI was discriminating against China, with many saying that it was insulting to China and its citizens. The story has since been spread across the Chinese diaspora and promoted in pro-CCP groups by the Chinese 50 Cent Army (wumao, 五毛).

In old days, there was sign “No dog and Chinese in the park”…. nowaday “No ice cream for Chinese”. Time passed, change a little only….

#BMW #Shanghai #MINI
Shanghai Station BMW MINI has racial discrimination, only giving ice cream to white men, not to Asian women, and arranging security guards to beat female anchors, resulting in gender discrimination🤮🤮

1,6 billion losses for #BMW 🤣for ice cream. it’s little bit expensive.don’t play with Chinese people next time👺

Did BMW Mini give free ice-cream to foreigners, but not Chinese citizens?! 🤨

BMW MINI Ice-Cream Fiasco Show True Character Of Chinese Netizens

Chinese netizens are crowing about the losses that BMW MINI sustained from this free ice-cream fiasco, saying that China will not bow to foreigners, and that it shows the “power” of the Chinese cancel culture.

The truth is – the whole BMW MINI ice-cream fiasco is much ado about nothing. Even worse – it exposed the true character of these Chinese netizens, showing the world just how petty and superficial they really are.

First, let me start by pointing out some salient facts about the BMW Mini ice-cream fiasco…

It Was A Car Exhibition In Shanghai

The incident happened at the Shanghai International Automobile Industry Exhibition, where MINI China had a booth.

Generally, people go there to view the latest car models, or prototypes. But it looks like some Chinese netizens go to these exhibitions for the freebies…

More importantly – most of the visitors there were Chinese citizens, not foreigners. Keep this in mind.

BMW MINI Gave Out 300 Ice-Cream Tubs Per Day

MINI China was giving out 300 tubs of ice-cream at its booth, over two days. So that’s a total of 600 tubs of ice-cream.

While some Chinese netizens have said that BMW MINI should not have given so few, or should have anticipated a higher demand, they should ask themselves if they are at the Mini booth to view its cars, or to demand freebies?

Even if BMW MINI brought in 1,000 tubs a day, they would likely run out as well, and these demanding guests would still have complained.

Most Ice-Cream Tubs Went To Chinese Guests

The vast majority of these free ice-cream tubs went to Chinese guests who visited the MINI booth, because it was a car show in Shanghai, where the vast majority of people are Chinese citizens!

Only a few tubs were reserved for BMW / MINI staff members at the car show, who happen to be foreigners. How many foreigners do you reckon will fly to Shanghai to check out the MINIs there?

A total of 600 ice creams were distributed to those who came to our booth through the MINI App. In fact, in addition to the 300 copies distributed each day, we also reserved a very small portion for our very hard-working colleagues on site, the 4-5 “foreigners” you see in the video are colleagues wearing staff badges.

It Was Chinese Ice-Cream

In fact, MINI China reserved those ice-cream tubs specifically for the foreign BMW / MINI executives to try, because the ice-cream was made by Shanghai ice-cream maker, Luneurs!

While many Chinese citizens can easily buy and enjoy ice-cream from Luneurs, this was likely the only opportunity for these foreigners to try ice-cream made by a famous Shanghai brand.

Instead of expressing pride that these foreigners were enjoying a local product, these Chinese netizens instead turned the whole incident into unnecessary drama… over free ice-cream.

Instead of capitalising on MINI China’s support of a local brand, Luneurs was forced to issue a public statement on Weibo that it had nothing to do with the BMW MINI free ice-cream drama.

The Two Girls Were Temporary Help

Like in many car shows, the models and booth staff are often temporary help hired for the show. It was the case with the two Chinese girls in the video – they were hired to distribute the free ice-cream to guests visiting the Mini booth.

It is important for me to point this out because they are local Chinese citizens, and have no reason to be biased against their fellow Chinese citizens.

In addition, they were not BMW MINI staff members, and were merely instructed to distribute most of the free ice-cream to guests, and reserve a few for BMW/MINI staff members.

For diligently doing their jobs, they were hounded by Chinese netizens who called them names for allegedly obeying foreigners, or helping foreigners bully the Chinese people, etc.

Not only are these Chinese netizens shameless in demanding freebies, they have also shown themselves to be disgusting bullies. MINI China even came out to defend the girls against these cyberbullies.

… the two ladies in the incident are also young people who have just entered society, can you please give them more tolerance and space?

IMHO, this BMW MINI ice-cream fiasco should serve as a lesson to all foreign brands trying to penetrate the Chinese market – don’t give them any freebies. As it is said, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

No one, but BMW MINI, thought of giving guests some ice-cream for visiting their booth. But instead of appreciating that small gesture, Chinese netizens made it all about them, them, them.

Never mind that it was a car exhibition where no one in their right mind would have expected free ice-cream, or free anything. Never mind that the vast majority of the free ice-cream went to Chinese guests. Never mind that it was two Chinese girls who distributed them.

No, these idiots believe that this is actual Western oppression of the Chinese people. They are a disgrace to China and the Chinese diaspora. The truth is – most Chinese people are not jingoistic cheapskates like these shameless Chinese netizens.

Even the infamously jingoistic former editor-in-chief of Global Times, Hu Xijin, came out to caution Chinese netizens against their excesses:

We shouldn’t excessively magnify a problem to become a question of principle or an ideological issue.

Let the staff learn their lessons and let their future events return to normal as much as possible. Let’s avoid other vendors getting nervous because of this.

Chinese citizens are free to boycott BMW MINI all they want for this “ice-cream fiasco”, but make no mistake – this fiasco does not cast BMW MINI in poor light. It actually shows just how shameless and disgusting some Chinese citizens can be.

China may have made great strides in improving the economic circumstances of its citizens, but it looks like there is much work to be done to improve the grace and thoughtfulness of some of its citizens… as well as their lack of self esteem.

Did Prince William Finally Dump Rose Hanbury?!

Did Prince William finally decide to dump his mistress, Rose Hanbury, before King Charles III’s coronation?!

Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Prince William Finally Decides To Dump Rose Hanbury!

People are sharing a Music Mundial article which claims that Prince William finally decided to dump his mistress, Rose Hanbury, before King Charles III’s coronation!

Here is the viral Music Mundial article. Please feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

Prince William has finally made a decision on his allegedly affair with Rose Hanbury

The novel starring Prince William and Kate Middleton, continues to give much to talk about despite the fact that now everything is focused on the coronation ceremony of King Charles III and, is that William has made a decision regarding his relationship with his alleged lover, Rose Hanbury, before the celebration of the monarch to be held on May 6.

Although the coronation of King Charles III is one of the most anticipated events for the British, this has been overshadowed by the recent news accusing Prince William of being unfaithful to Kate Middleton with Rose Hanbury and, it is presumed that the monarch has not come out to defend the Princess of Wales because the husband of the alleged lover of William will be his new secretary general.

Such situation has caused Kate Middleton to be somewhat furious, since no member of the crown has come out to defend her after learning of the rumors that Prince William was unfaithful to her since 2019 with Rose Hanbury.

For such reason and in the face of the wave of criticism, William has made a decision regarding the relationship he allegedly still maintains with his mistress to put it into action before the coronation of King Charles III and thus avoid greater problems in the future both with his wife and children, as well as with the English community.

After the multiple accusations and bad reviews that Prince William has received, he has tried to win back the hearts of all those who slandered him, so in the most recent events to which he has attended for the agenda of the monarchy, he has been seen more attentive and affectionate with Kate Middleton. For this reason, he has made the decision to cut the relationship he has with Rose Hanbury before the coronation of King Charles III.

According to some British media, Prince William prefers to cut all relationship with Rose Hanbury before the coronation of King Charles III, to avoid problems and discomfort with Kate Middleton and, it is well known that his alleged lover will be present at the ceremony because her husband is the new secretary of the monarch and therefore, both will have a preferential place in the event to be held next May.

Truth : Prince William Has No Reason To Dump Rose Hanbury!

This is yet another example of celebrity FAKE NEWS created by Music Mundial to generate page views, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Rose Hanbury Affair Rumour Started In 2019

For those who are trying to figure out what’s going on, here’s a quick recap.

Rumours of an affair between Prince William and Rose Hanbury started in April 2019, after American magazine In Touch claimed that Prince William cheated on Kate Middleton during her pregnancy with their third child, Prince Louis. Allegedly, Kate confronted William, who apparently “laughed it off saying there was nothing to it“.

British socialite and Times food critic, Giles Coren, also tweeted about the affair, claiming that it was an open secret.

Fact #2 : No Evidence Of Rose Hanbury Affair With Prince William

While it is possible that Prince William was or is having an affair with Rose Hanbury (anything is possible, after all), there never was any actual evidence an affair ever happened.

In fact, Daily Mail’s royal reporter, Richard Kay, called the In Touch claims fake news back then, and said that both Rose Hanbury and Kate Middleton considered taking legal action.

Both sides have considered legal action, but because none of the reports have been able to offer any evidence about what the so-called dispute is about, they have chosen to ignore it…. These hurtful rumors of a fallout are simply false.

Giles Cohen himself quickly deleted his infamous tweet, and later insisted on January 3, 2022 that he was drunk tweeting in jest!

You can read more about this in my earlier article, Are Prince William + Kate Middleton Getting A Divorce?!

Fact #3 : Music Mundial Provided No Evidence

As usual, Music Mundial offered ZERO evidence to back up its claims that Prince William finally decided to dump Rose Hanbury, especially after it claimed that Kate Middleton agreed to accept her, after Prince William demanded that she be part of the royal family!

Its claim that some British media said that Prince William prefers to “cut off all relationship with Rose Hanbury before the coronation of King Charles III, to avoid problems and discomfort with Kate Middleton” is utter nonsense. No British media ever reported such a ridiculous claim.

Fact #4 : Rose Hanbury’s Husband Was Appointed As Lord-in-Waiting

Music Mundial falsely claimed that King Charles III appointed Rose Hanbury’s husband as his “secretary” or “secretary general”. That’s easily proven false.

King Charles appointed Rose Hanbury’s husband – the 7th Marquess of Cholmondeley, David Cholmondeley, as his Lord-in-Waiting on 17 March 2023, not as his general secretary.

There is no such position as “secretary general”, only the position of “private secretary”. King Charles’ private secretary remains Sir Clive Alderman KCVO, who served in that capacity since 8 September 2022, and in the same capacity while he was Prince of Wales since 5 February 2015.

This “factual oddity” which Music Mundial keeps repeating suggests that the article may not have been written by an actual person. It is possible that Music Mundial is using an AI text generator like ChatGPT to create these fake articles.

Fact #5 : Rose Hanbury + Husband Are Guests At Coronation

Music Mundial claimed that Rose Hanbury’s husband has an important role at the coronation. That’s not true.

The Marquess of Cholmondeley and his wife, Rose Hanbury, were invited to the coronation like many others. But they play no actual role in the coronation procession. They were merely invited as guests, just like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Fact #6 : This Is Just Music Mundial Fake News

This appears to be nothing more than yet another example of celebrity fake news posted by Music Mundial. Here are examples of Music Mundial fake news that I looked into:

Are Prince William + Kate Out Of The Coronation?!

Are Prince William and Princess Kate Middleton leaving the coronation over their daughter’s birthday party?!

Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Prince William + Kate Middleton Are Out Of The Coronation!

People are sharing a Music Mundial article which claims that Prince William and Kate Middleton are leaving the coronation over their daughter’s birthday party!

Here is the viral Music Mundial article. Please feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

Prince William and Kate Middleton are leaving the coronation for this reason

The Duke and Duchess of Wales, Prince William and Kate Middleton, may be leaving the coronation of the King Charles III for this reason.

The coronation, which will take place on May 6, 2023, continues to face internal problems. The crown not only has to deal with daily criticisms from supporters of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who have been attacking the royal family and causing it to slowly crumble, but also with the revelation of secrets about some members that are not to the liking of many.

This time, it is Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton who are in the spotlight, as they have announced that they will be absent from the monarch’s coronation. On May 2, the eighth birthday of the Duke and Duchess of Wales’ daughter, Princess Charlotte, will be celebrated, and it appears that William and Kate will be preparing a surprise party for her at Adelaide Cottage, with a select group of the little girl’s friends.

This has presented a problem for the coronation, as the rehearsals for the coronation will take place a week before the big day. Rumor has it that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will not participate in the rehearsals because they will not miss the little Charlotte’s birthday party, and they will not be present at the rehearsal with King Charles III.

Prince William and Kate Middleton have stated that they will not allow their daughter’s birthday to be overshadowed by their grandfather’s coronation. Therefore, if they do not attend the rehearsals, it is likely that King Charles III will not allow them to participate in the event.

Show less

Truth : Prince William + Kate Middleton Are Not Out Of The Coronation!

This is yet another example of celebrity FAKE NEWS created by Music Mundial to generate page views, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : They Are Only Cutting One Rehearsal Day Short

Princess Charlotte was born on May 2, 2015, so her birthday falls just four days before King Charles III’s coronation on May 6. As it so happens, rehearsals for the coronation were scheduled for three days, between 2 May and 5 May in the ballroom at Buckingham Palace.

Due to their important role in the royal family and the coronation itself, both Prince William and Princess Catherine will attend the rehearsals. But they will cut short their rehearsals on May 2, to properly celebrate Princess Charlotte’s birthday.

William and Kate are very aware that it’s Princess Charlotte’s birthday on 2 May and don’t want it to get buried in coronation hype. They have ensured that Charlotte’s birthday will be celebrated properly during [the] coronation week.

Fact #2 : Prince Harry + Meghan Markle Won’t Be At Princess Charlotte’s Party

Music Mundial made some “drama” about how Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will not participate in the rehearsals as well, because they won’t want to miss Princess Charlotte’s birthday party.

That’s utter nonsense, because they had already announced that Meghan would be staying in their Montecito home in California to celebrate their son’s birthday on May 6.

In addition, Princess Charlotte’s birthday party will be a small one involving her friends:

Charlotte will be at school at Lambrook on that Tuesday so the plan is to collect her at the usual time and drive back to Windsor for a small party with her friends at Adelaide Cottage. It might even be a surprise party because staff have been told to keep it quiet.

Fact #3 : Prince Harry + Meghan Markle Were Never Meant To Be In Procession

Music Mundial also falsely claimed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle chose not to participate in the rehearsals.

The truth is – just like Prince Andrew, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, they were never meant to be part of the coronation procession, and thus had no need to be present for the rehearsals!

In fact, Prince Harry will play no part in the coronation procession on May 6, and will attend only as a guest. On top of that, he will be skipping the post-coronation concert and leaving right after the ceremony to fly back to California to belatedly celebrate his son’s birthday.

Fact #4 : King Charles Did Not Cut Them Out Of The Coronation

Music Mundial claimed, without evidence, that King Charles will likely not allow Prince William and Princess Catherine to attend the coronation since they didn’t attend the rehearsals.

That’s such a ridiculously ignorant and stupid claim that any royal fan will see through. Not only are Prince William and Princess Catherine attending the rehearsals, they play an important role in the procession!

Cutting them out of the procession would be a major scandal, and throw the coronation into disarray. Who would be so stupid as to do that? Who would be so stupid as to think that such a ridiculous thing would be possible?

Needless to say – NO ONE else, but Music Mundial, is claiming that King Charles wants to cut them out of the coronation.

Fact #5 : This Is Just Music Mundial Fake News

As usual, Music Mundial offered ZERO evidence to back up its claims that Prince William and Princess Catherine are leaving the coronation.

Jho Low Paid $20 Million For Photo With The Obamas!

Jho Low paid a cool $20 million for a single photo with the Obamas, but guess how much he paid to influence the Trump Administration?!

Jho Low Paid $20 Million For Photo With The Obamas!

On Tuesday, 18 April 2023, Prakazrel “Pras” Michel – a member of the Fugees, together with Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean, testified in his own defence against charges of criminal conspiracy, foreign lobbying and campaign finance crimes.

Pras Michel stands accused of conspiring with fugitive Malaysian financier, Jho Low, to influence the Obama and Trump administrations. During his trial in Washington, D.C., Pras Michel revealed how Jho Low hired him to be a “celebrity surrogate” in order to finagle that photo with the Obamas.

Michel described Jho Low as a “wealthy man willing to do anything, spend any type of money” to get his photo with President Barack Obama, but that Low’s reputation made him “too hot” get an invited to fundraising events. He himself witnessed Low’s wild lifestyle, which was filled with celebrities, models, night clubs, and free-flowing cash.

My understanding is that the campaign thought he was too hot. They didn’t want the optics at that time. At that point, Jho Low was a party guy – Vegas, champagne, parties with Paris Hilton. The campaign just didn’t want that.

Michel told Low that he would try to help him get that photo with the Obamas, but for a price.

I basically asked for US$1 million to begin to think about how I would get this photo. I was going to try.

Jho Low would end up paying Pras Michel $20 million over nine months, before the fugitive tycoon finally got his wish – a photograph with President Barack Obama, and First Lady Michelle Obama, at the 2012 White House Christmas party!

The photo with the Obamas may have cost Jho Low $20 million, but prosecutors claim that Pras Michel pocketed $18 million of the money, and funnelled $2 million into Barack Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign.

Jho Low Paid $70 Million To Influence Trump Administration!

If you are shocked by how much Jho Low paid to get that single photo with Barack and Michelle Obama, you will be shocked by how much he paid to influence the Trump Administration!

Prosecutors alleged that Jho Low paid Michel, 50, another $70 million to lobby the Trump Administration to drop its civil and criminal investigation of Low in the 1MDB scandal, as well as have Miles Guo Wengui, a Chinese billionaire dissident, extradited to China!

Jho Low was indicted in 2021 together with Pras Michel by a federal grand jJury, but remains at large and is believed to be in China.

The indictment issued Thursday by a grand jury in Washington accuses Low and Michel of conspiring with Broidy, a woman named Nickie Lum Davis and others “to engage in undisclosed lobbying campaigns at the direction of Low and the Vice Minister of Public Security for the People’s Republic of China, respectively,” according to the Justice Department.

The goals of those campaigns were “both to have the 1MDB embezzlement investigation and forfeiture proceedings involving Low and others dropped and to have a Chinese dissident sent back to China.”

If convicted, Jho Low faces a maximum penalty of five to 10 years in prison, per count, while Pras Michel could face a range of maximum penalties from five to 20 years in prison, per count.

Are Prince Harry + Meghan Markle Getting A Divorce?!

Are Prince Harry and Meghan Markle getting a divorce?!

Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Prince Harry + Meghan Markle Are Getting A Divorce!

People are sharing a Music Mundial article which claims that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are getting a divorce!

Here is the viral Music Mundial article. Please feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly getting divorced for the following reason

The confirmation of Prince Harry‘s attendance to the coronation of his father, King Charles III of the United Kingdom, would be bringing new and serious problems in his marriage with Meghan Markle. And according to recent rumors, the former actress would be very upset by the decision made by her husband, so she would be completely disappointed and intends to separate.

According to a source close to the British royalty, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are facing a new marital crisis, given the initiative of the Prince to accept to attend the coronation of his father, despite all the internal conflict between them.

Buckingham Palace confirmed the attendance of the King’s youngest son on Wednesday, through a statement, where they also said that Meghan will stay in the United States taking care of her two children; Archie and Lilibeth Diana.

However, the situation between the two would not be peaceful, since the former interpreter had the intention that neither of them would be present at the event, which would be a clear message against the crown and the alleged injustices that both have been denouncing since 2020.

The British newspaper The Sun claimed that Harry has been having numerous secret conversations with his father. And according to what they have managed to investigate, he maintains a lively desire to be able to fix the differences between the two poles.

However, the Duchess of Sussex’s ideas were completely different; she wanted her family to remain distant from the crown until the members of the royal family apologize to her for everything she experienced while living in Buckingham.

For these reasons, it is now speculated that the marriage between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle is again in jeopardy. And this time, the problem could cause serious consequences.

Truth : Prince Harry + Meghan Markle Are Not Getting A Divorce!

This is yet another example of celebrity FAKE NEWS created by Music Mundial to generate page views, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Prince Harry + Meghan Decided On Coronation Attendance

First, I think it is important to note that both Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, decided that Prince Harry should go on his own. Their spokesperson issued this statement:

The Duke of Sussex will attend the Coronation service at Westminster Abbey on May 6th. The Duchess of Sussex will remain in California with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

This was a decision by both Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, not Prince Harry alone. In fact, sources close to the Sussexes claim that it was Meghan who decided not to attend the coronation because her children won’t be playing a part in the day’s events. Plus, it would be Archie’s fourth birthday, and he deserved more fun than “something as stuffy as a coronation”.

The truth of the matter is the duchess was never likely to attend the coronation. The mood from California was that she felt increasingly put in an impossible position and there’s a fair sense of relief that the situation is resolved after so much speculation and uncertainty.

So claiming that Meghan would divorce Prince Harry because he decided to go to the Coronation without him is laughably false.

Fact #2 : No Evidence Prince Harry + Meghan Markle Are Getting A Divorce

Just to be clear – there is ZERO EVIDENCE that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are getting a divorce for ANY reason.

For one thing – the British media as well as celebrity and royal family bloggers would have reported on this incessantly, and so would the mainstream media globally. After all, they are both celebrities!

Yet, no one reported even the rumour of a separation, never mind a divorce? That’s because it’s utter nonsense.

More so when it is already known that Prince Harry wants to only attend the Coronation ceremony at Westminster Abbey on the morning of May 8, so he can head straight back to California to rejoin Meghan and their two children.

Regardless of what we may think of the couple, Harry and Meghan appear to be lockstep in whatever they do, and dislike being apart, even for events like the coronation.

Fact #3 : Meghan Markle Was An Actress, Not Interpreter

Music Mundial bizarrely called Meghan Markle a former interpreter. Meghan Markle was never an interpreter.

She was an actress, who did some modelling jobs, as well as a freelance calligrapher and taught bookbinding, before she joined the TV show, Suits.

This “factual oddity” suggests that the article may not have been written by an actual person. It is possible that Music Mundial is using an AI text generator like ChatGPT to create these fake articles.

Fact #4 : Prince Harry + Meghan Never Lived In Buckingham Palace

Music Mundial oddly claimed that Meghan Markle once lived in Buckingham Palace, just as it once falsely claimed that Kate Middleton lived there too.

Prince Harry and Meghan lived at the Nottingham Cottage after they got married, before moving to Frogmore Cottage which Queen Elizabeth II gave them.

Fact #5 : This Is Just Music Mundial Fake News

As usual, Music Mundial offered ZERO evidence to back up its claims that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are getting a divorce.

This appears to be nothing more than yet another example of celebrity fake news posted by Music Mundial. Here are examples of Music Mundial fake news that I looked into:

Did Meghan Markle just separate from Prince Harry, after getting banned from the British royal family?!

Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Meghan Markle Separates From Prince Harry After Being Banned!

People are sharing a Music Mundial article which claims that Meghan Markle just separated from Prince Harry after getting banned from the British royal family!

Here is the viral Music Mundial article. Please feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

Meghan Markle separates from Prince Harry after being banned from royal family

Meghan Markle is in the eye of the storm after it was revealed that she has been banned from the British royal family, the same to which belongs her distinguished husband, Prince Harry, and who is said to be separating because of the differences that both have around their internal conflict with the crown. However, Buckingham Palace confirmed that the prince will be attending the coronation, but without the presence of his wife.

In recent days, a source close to the royal family assured that Meghan Markle is upset with Prince Harry after confirming his attendance to the coronation of King Charles III. For this reason, the former interpreter would be at the moment distanced from her new husband.

The Duchess of Sussex is very upset, since her idea was that both she and Harry would not make an appearance at this event, which will be held from May 6th to May 8th and from now on, it is predicted to be an event widely commented by all the controversy behind the royals.

Last Wednesday, it was a statement made by Buckingham Palace that confirmed the attendance of the monarch’s youngest son. From there, the media quickly began to inquire about the background of the attendance.

As we all know, Harry has also been very active in attacking his family, since for him, the acts and injustices he experienced there with Meghan, were really unjustifiable.

However, there is talk that the prince will also have a meeting with his father and his older brother, Prince William. Their efforts are linked to try to fix the differences between the two poles, and in this way, try to appease the whole scandal.

Meanwhile, at Meghan Markle’s residence in California, United States, they are making preparations for the birthday of their son Archie, who will have his birthday on the same day of his grandfather’s coronation, so Prince Harry will celebrate another year of his son’s life from the United Kingdom.

First, I think it is important to note that both Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, were invited to King Charles III’s coronation. It was up to them whether to attend, or not.

Another example is the curiously odd claim that Prince Harry would be spending another year of his son’s life from the United Kingdom, when a real person would have said he would be spending another birthday away from his son, or celebrating it afar in the United Kingdom.

Fact #4 : Meghan Was Not Banned From Royal Family

Music Mundial’s claim that Meghan Markle was banned from the royal family is baseless. In fact, its article doesn’t even attempt to lie about it – it completely made no mention of it.

The fact that she was invited to the coronation of her father-in-law, King Charles III, showed that she was never banned from the royal family.

If anything, it was Prince Harry and Meghan who chose to remove themselves from the royal family, when they announced on 8 January 2020 that they would “step back as senior members of the British royal family” and become financially independent.

As a result, they lost a lot of privileges as non-working royals, but it was their own choice. And they were never banned from royal family.

Fact #5 : This Is Just Music Mundial Fake News

As usual, Music Mundial offered ZERO evidence to back up its claims that Meghan Markle separated from Prince Harry, or that she was banned from the royal family.

Claim : Meghan Markle Stripped Of Royal Title + Banned From UK!

People are sharing a Music Mundial article which claims that Meghan Markle was just stripped of her royal title, and banned from the United Kingdom!

Meghan Markle is stripped from her royal title and is banned from the United Kingdom

Meghan Markle has been officially banned from King Charles III’s coronation guest list. Earlier this week, Buckingham Palace confirmed Prince Harry’s attendance and that he will be going alone. Royals experts believe that Meghan’s absence means she has been stripped from her royal title.

The rivalry between Markle and the royal family is growing exponentially after the royal family decided to ban Meghan Markle from King Charles III and Camilla Parker’s coronation ceremony. It looks like they’re doing everything in their power to avoid her at all costs. Even if King Charles III is trying to reunite his family, it looks like the controversies will continue.

According to a source close to the family, these measures are a clear act of retaliation against the Duchess of Sussex for her accusations and declarations against the royal family. It was also reported that many members of the royalty did not want her to show up.

Meghan is going to be in California with her children. However, the British people strongly believe there’s more to it and something must be happing behind the scenes. This also gives Meghan another opportunity of attacking the royal family by revealing more shocking details about their private life.

Truth : Meghan Markle Was Not Stripped Of Royal Title / Banned From UK!

Fact #1 : Prince Harry + Meghan Were Invited To Coronation

First, I think it is important to note that both Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, were invited to King Charles III’s coronation. It was up to them whether to attend, or not.

An immediate decision on whether the Duke and Duchess will attend will not be disclosed by us at this time.

So Music Mundial’s claim that Meghan Markle was officially banned from the coronation guest list is nonsensical and demonstrably false.

Fact #2 : Prince Harry Decided To Attend Coronation Alone

Music Mundial earlier falsely claimed that Prince Harry rejected King Charles’ invitation to his coronation. That didn’t obviously did not happen.

After waffling over the decision for weeks, the couple decided that Prince Harry should go on his own. Their spokesperson issued this statement:

The Duke of Sussex will attend the Coronation service at Westminster Abbey on May 6th. The Duchess of Sussex will remain in California with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

As you can see – this was a decision by both Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, not King Charles.

This puts to rest the false claim by Music Mundial that the royal family banned Meghan Markle from King Charles’ coronation. They were both invited, but she chose not to attend.

Fact #3 : Meghan Was Not Stripped Of Her Royal Title

No royal expert has ever claimed that Meghan Markle was stripped of her royal title. She is, and remains, the Duchess of Sussex by the virtue of her husband, Prince Harry, being the Duke of Sussex.

Meghan Markle joined the British royal family and became the Duchess of Sussex when she married Prince Harry on May 19, 2018. To lose that title, she would have to divorce herself from Prince Harry, or vice versa.

Even if he wanted to, King Charles himself has no power to strip Prince Harry or Meghan Markle of their titles. It takes an Act of Parliament in the United Kingdom to do that.

That was what happened in 1917, when King George V passed the Titles Deprivation Act to remove British titles of several German and Austrian royals during the First World War.

Naturally, none of that happened. This is just fake news.

Fact #4 : Meghan Markle Was Not Banned From United Kingdom

The British royal family is largely ceremonial, and has very little powers officially. Hence, it cannot ban any person from entering the United Kingdom.

That is the prerogative of the government of the United Kingdom, specifically the Home Office. Even then, the Home Office cannot simply ban Meghan Markle from entering the UK. After all, she is married to Prince Harry, and would have a spousal or family visa.

To ban her from entering the UK, the government must have legitimate reasons – if she demonstrably “engages in unacceptable behaviour” like fomenting hatred, or encouraging or glorifying terrorism, or committing war crimes.

There is simply no evidence that Meghan Markle is banned from the United Kingdom.

Fact #5 : Music Mundial Provided No Evidence

As usual, Music Mundial offered ZERO evidence to back up its claims that Meghan Markle has been stripped of her title and banned from the United Kingdom.

Music Mundial’s claim that royal experts believe that her absence from the coronation means Meghan Markle was stripped of her title is nonsensical. That’s as asinine as saying that her professional title will be stripped if you do not attend your father-in-law’s birthday party!

Its article also failed to mention that Meghan Markle is actually banned from entering the United Kingdom.

The viral videos were edited from the original footage, intentionally removing the segment which shows President Joe Biden greeting and shaking Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s hand.

White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates confirmed it on April 13, telling AFP:

The footage was dishonestly manipulated.

Fact #2 : Joe Biden Greeted + Spoke With Rishi Sunak

In the original video, US President Joe Biden is seen greeting and shaking UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, and exchanging words for a few seconds before saluting Lord Lieutenant of County Antrim, David McCorkell, King Charles III’s representative in Northern Ireland.

After greeting other people, Biden laid his hand on Sunak’s back, before going on to greet even more people. Biden later resumed his conversation with Rishi Sunak and David McCorkell on the tarmac for a minute or two, before The Beast (the US armoured Presidential limousine) arrived.

It is quite impossible for Joe Biden not to recognise Rishi Sunak, because they met and spoke with each other on several occasions, the most recent being a month ago!

On March 13, Rishi Sunak and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese joined Joe Biden at San Diego to mark the AUKUS deal. Sunak and Biden not only had a bilateral meeting, they also held a press conference together, in which he spoke of Sunak in familiar terms.

PRESIDENT BIDEN: I got a brief statement to talk about my friend here for a second.

First of all, I want to welcome him back to California. He’s a Stanford man, and he still has a home here in California. That’s why I’m being very nice to him, maybe he’ll invite me to his home here in California.

In fact, Joe Biden first met Rishi Sunak in November 2022, during the G20 summit. During their first bilateral meeting on 16 November 2022, President Biden congratulated Rishi Sunak for becoming the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

King Charles III officially expels Meghan Markle from British royal family

Today, the world of journalism has woken up to the news that King Charles III, in a statement, has left Meghan Markle aside from the British royal family. This, after it was confirmed that Prince Harry will attend only the official coronation ceremony, since his wife has not been invited and is not expected to meet again with the royals.

Today, Buckingham Palace has issued an official statement regarding the attendance of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to the official coronation of King Charles III, which is scheduled to be held from May 6th to 8th of this year.

After months of speculation, this is the first official statement that the British royals have given regarding the controversy over whether Harry and Meghan will attend the ceremony, despite all the accusations that the couple has made against several of its members, including the monarch, his wife Camilla Parker, Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton.

According to several reports from sources close to Buckingham Palace, the King has reportedly made the decision not to invite Meghan Markle to his coronation. And not only that, he would have let her know that she will not be invited to other events and ceremonies that in the future will be organized within the crown.

After this, several media claim that Meghan has been “de facto expelled” from the British royal family, since by not requiring her presence in such an important and historic event, it is a clear example that the monarch does not consider her welcome to his family.

The following details that may be revealed around the drama that King Charles III and the British royal family have generated after it was confirmed that Meghan Markle will not attend the coronation, could sponsor a new wave of attacks that could further affect the reputation of the royals.

First, I think it is important to note that Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex was informed that they would receive an invitation to King Charles III’s coronation.

On 5 March 2023, a spokesperson for the couple confirmed that they were informed that they were invited. However, the couple did not decide whether to attend.

An immediate decision on whether the Duke and Duchess will attend will not be disclosed by us at this time.

After waffling over the decision for weeks, the couple decided that Prince Harry should go on his own. Their spokesperson issued this statement:

The Duke of Sussex will attend the Coronation service at Westminster Abbey on May 6th. The Duchess of Sussex will remain in California with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

As you can see – this was a decision by both Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, not King Charles.

This puts to rest the false claim by Music Mundial that King Charles did not invite Meghan Markle to his coronation. He did, but she chose not to attend.

Fact #3 : King Charles Did Not Expel Meghan From Royal Family

Just to be clear, King Charles did not expel Meghan Markle, officially or unofficially, from the British royal family. This is not something the King can do.

Meghan Markle joined the British royal family when she married Prince Harry on May 19, 2018. For her to be “expelled” from the British royal family, she would have to divorce herself from Prince Harry, or vice versa. This is not up to the King.

In fact, it was Prince Harry and Meghan Markle who effectively expelled themselves as “working royals” when they announced on Instagram on 8 January 2020 that they would “step back as senior members of the British royal family” and become financially independent.

King Charles did not force them to do that. They made that decision by themselves, just like how they decided that Prince Harry should attend the coronation, but not Meghan Markle.

Fact #4 : Music Mundial Provided No Evidence

As usual, Music Mundial offered ZERO evidence to back up its claims that King Charles officially expelled Meghan Markle from the royal family.

Music Mundial’s claim that several media claimed that Meghan Markle was “de facto expelled” is not only unsubstantiated, it runs contrary to its claim that King Charles officially expelled her.

In fact, the British press has been very clear that it was the couple’s decision. No British press reported that it was King Charles who ordered Meghan Markle not to attend his coronation.

Claim : Prince Harry Rejected King Charles’ Coronation Invitation!

Prince Harry turns down King Charles III’s invitation to the coronation ceremony

Prince Harry recently arrived in the United King to attend the preliminary court hearings in his case against Associated Newspapers Ltd. His arrival in the country increased the tension between him and the royal family as he blamed them for some of the things that happened to him.

Despite this, there are reports that Harry also wanted to use this opportunity to reconcile with his father, King Charles III. Things didn’t go as he expected because he received a negative response and he was told that it is almost impossible to have a meeting due to Charles’ trip to Germany, something that upset Harry.

In addition, Prince William decided to go on vacation with his family after being notified his younger brother would be in London for a couple of weeks. William ran away in order to avoid his brother with whom he has not spoken for months due to the recent controversies.

According to the British press, the Duke of Sussex is planning on rejecting King Charles III’s invitation to the coronation ceremony which will take place on May 6 at Westminster Abbey. This might be the reason why Charles refused to have a private meeting and made Harry furious.

Truth : Prince Harry Will Attend King Charles III’s Coronation!

This is yet another example of celebrity FAKE NEWS created to generate page views, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Prince Harry Received Coronation Invitation In March!

First, I think it is important to note that Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex was informed that they would receive an invitation to King Charles III’s coronation on 6 May 2023.

On 5 March 2023, a spokesperson for the couple confirmed that Prince Harry received an email regarding the invitation:

I can confirm the Duke has recently received email correspondence from His Majesty’s office regarding the coronation.

As only about 2,000 guests are expected to be invited for the coronation, prospective guests were asked by email to save the date ahead of receiving the official invitations.

Fact #2 : Prince Harry Will Attend Coronation

When the couple announced that they would receive an invitation to the coronation ceremony, they said that they have not decided whether to attend.

An immediate decision on whether the Duke and Duchess will attend will not be disclosed by us at this time.

On 12 April 2023, Buckingham Palace announced that Prince Harry will attend King Charles III’s coronation, but Meghan will remain in the United States with their children.

Buckingham Palace is pleased to confirm that The Duke of Sussex will attend the Coronation Service at Westminster Abbey on May 6th. The Duchess of Sussex will remain in California with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

This puts to rest the false claim by Music Mundial that Prince Harry rejected the invitation to King Charles’ coronation.

Fact #3 : Prince Harry Wants To Meet His Family Before Deciding

In January 2023, Prince Harry told interviewer Tom Bradley, that he needed to have a face-to-face meeting with his family before attending. He also told another interviewer, Bryony Gordon, that he wanted “an apology” for his wife, Meghan.

When he flew to London to attend the court case against Associated Newspapers Ltd. (ANL), Prince Harry attempted to meet his father and Prince William. Unfortunately, neither were in London at that time, so Prince Harry never had the chance to have that “face to face meeting” with them.

Without that face-to-face meeting, it seemed likely that the Sussexes may ultimately decide not to attend the coronation ceremony. However, in the end, Prince Harry decided to attend.

Fact #4 : Music Mundial Provided No Evidence

As usual, Music Mundial offered ZERO evidence to back up its claims that Prince Harry turned down the invitation to King Charles’ coronation ceremony. In fact, its story does not even say that Prince Harry actually turned down the coronation invitation!

Its claim that British press reported that Prince Harry was planning to reject the invitation is also nonsense. The British press has been consistently pointing out that the couple continues to be evasive about whether they would attend the coronation.

No British press has reported that Prince Harry rejected the invitation to attend his father’s coronation. Only Music Mundial was making this claim. In the end, the worldwide media reported that Prince Harry would be attending the coronation.

Fact #5 : This Is Just Music Mundial Fake News

This appears to be nothing more than yet another example of celebrity fake news posted by Music Mundial. Here are examples of Music Mundial fake news that I looked into:

Did Meghan Demand Salary As Prince Harry’s Wife?!

Leave a reply

Did Meghan Markle demand to be paid a salary for marrying Prince Harry?!

Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Meghan Markle Demanded Salary For Marrying Prince Harry!

People are sharing a Music Mundial article which claims that Meghan Markle demanded to be paid a salary for marrying Prince Harry!

Here is the viral Music Mundial article. Please feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

Meghan Markle demanded to be paid a salary for being married to Prince Harry

Meghan Markle would have demanded that they cancel a large salary for being the official wife of Prince Harry, and belong to the royals, a fact that Prince Harry also supported, since so were the conditions of his brother, Prince William and his wife, Kate Middleton.

Soon, the coronation of King Charles III and Queen consort Camilla Parker will take place, where more than 2,000 guests from different positions will be present. However, there have been many controversies that have crossed out the great event, even before it is a complete reality.

New details about the life lived within the royal family have been revealed in the book “Our King: Charles III, the man and the monarch revealed“ (UK | US | AU), where more details of the fractured relationship between King Charles and Prince Harry were clarified.

It seems that the refusal of King Charles III to cancel the personal expenses of the Duchess of Sussex was the main reason for the prince to decide to move away from his father, as the king said he did not have much money to meet one more expense.

The next monarch expressed that he could not cancel Meghan, because it was already enough to finance the growing family of Prince William, Kate Middleton and Queen consort Camilla Parker.

So the Duke and Duchess had no choice but to continue their lives supported by the money they received from the inheritance of Princess Diana, and their contracts on Netflix, for the series they launched in December last year, and Spotify, where the actress has her podcast project “Archetypes“.

After this, when the dukes decided to resign from their positions as royal members, King Charles III opted to evict them from their belongings in the castles, as was the cottage that had been a gift from Queen Elizabeth II. Hence the Duke of Sussex is now launching controversies against his father, as he has preferred to support his own wife and sister-in-law, leaving out of any benefit to his son, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Truth : Meghan Markle Did Not Demand Salary For Marrying Prince Harry!

This is yet another example of celebrity FAKE NEWS created to generate page views, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Our King: Charles III Has Not Been Released

First, I think it is important to note that Our King: Charles III – The Man And The Monarch Revealed (UK | US | AU) by Robert Jobson, has not been officially released.

It’s schedule to be released only on Thursday, 13 April 2023, but British tabloids were given early access for publicity purposes.

Hence, it is important to note that Music Mundial would not have access to the book, and would have to rely on what was published by British tabloids so far.

Fact #2 : Meghan Markle Did Not Demand Salary For Marrying Prince Harry

The upcoming book (UK | US | AU) is being serialised by the Daily Mail, and covered by other British media that received an early pre-release copy.

None of them claimed that Meghan Markle demanded a salary for marrying Prince Harry.

Fact #3 : It Was King Charles Who Refused To Put Meghan On Royal Payroll

What the Daily Mail and other British media have pointed out, is that the book (UK | US | AU) claimed that King Charles refused to put Meghan on the royal payroll if Prince Harry marries her.

At that time, Prince Harry just told them that he planned to marry Meghan Markle, and they were expected to be working royals.

Harry was hurt when he told his father he was planning to marry the actress and did not receive the response he may have hoped for.

First, William, who was present at this meeting, asked: ‘Are you sure, Harold?’

He said he was. Then Charles dropped a bombshell, saying he couldn’t afford to pay for Meghan in the future as well as for Camilla, and for William and Catherine and their young family. This infuriated Harry.

Fact #4 : Prince Harry + Meghan Exited Royal Life In January 2020

After being informed that Meghan would not be on the royal payroll, Prince Harry married Meghan Markle on May 19, 2018.

By 2019, the couple were planning to establish a second base in the US, Canada or Africa. As Christmas 2019 approached, Prince Harry told his father that he and Meghan no longer wished to serve as full-time working royals, but wanted to split their time between the UK and North America.

Prince Charles at that time listened, but eventually told his son that the idea was unworkable. Nevertheless, the couple unilaterally announced on Instagram on 8 January 2020 that they would “step back as senior members of the British royal family” and become financially independent.

Regardless of what one may think of the couple, there is no evidence that Meghan ever demanded a salary for marrying Prince Harry, before or after their marriage.

Fact #5 : This Is Just Music Mundial Fake News

As usual, Music Mundial offered ZERO evidence to back up its claims that Meghan Markle demanded a salary for marrying Prince Harry.

Did Kate Middleton Accept Prince William’s Mistress?!

Leave a reply

Did Kate Middleton just agree to accept Prince William’s mistress, Rose Hanbury?!

Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Kate Middleton Accepts Prince William’s Mistress!

People are sharing a Music Mundial article which claims that Kate Middleton just agreed to accept Prince William’s mistress, Rose Hanbury!

Here is the viral Music Mundial article. Please feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

Kate Middleton accepts Prince William’s mistress on one condition

Due to the major scandal that has led to the notion that her husband, Prince William, is having an affair with former model Rose Hanbury, the Princess of Wales Kate Middleton would have been in a precarious situation. Since then, it hasn’t ceased being discussed in the British and international media, but it appears that the future queen of the United Kingdom has finally chosen a choice that will benefit her.

El Heraldo says that a number of sources close to Buckingham Palace have revealed that Kate Middleton has agreed to Rose Hanbury and her family’s request to become a part of British aristocracy.

The press reported that the Princess of Wales agreed to the idea but added a crucial requirement to avoid going against her husband’s and King Charles III’s wishes for David Cholmondeley, the English noblewoman’s husband, to serve as the monarch’s general secretary.

Based on her image and standing within the monarchy, the future queen would have enforced the condition. According to“Critical Voices,” Kate Middleton requested that Rose Hanbury not receive a lot of media attention if she was going to participate in various events in front of her and her husband.

Kate Middleton, meanwhile, would already be aware of what transpired between Prince William and Rose Hanbury, so she would be accepting of her inclusion and oblivious to what occurred and possibly continues to occur at this very moment.

Show less

No Evidence Kate Middleton Accepts Prince William’s Mistress!

This is yet another example of celebrity FAKE NEWS created to generate page views, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Rose Hanbury Affair Rumour Started In 2019

For those who are trying to figure out what’s going on, here’s a quick recap.

British socialite and Times food critic, Giles Coren, also tweeted about the affair, claiming that it was an open secret.

Fact #2 : No Evidence Of Rose Hanbury Affair With Prince William

While it is possible that Prince William was or is still having an affair with Rose Hanbury (anything is possible, after all), there was no actual evidence to back up those claims.

In fact, Daily Mail’s royal reporter, Richard Kay, called the In Touch claims fake news back then, and said that both Rose Hanbury and Kate Middleton considered taking legal action.

Giles Cohen himself quickly deleted his infamous tweet, and later insisted on January 3, 2022 that he was drunk tweeting in jest!

You can read more about this in my earlier article, Are Prince William + Kate Middleton Getting A Divorce?!

Fact #3 : Music Mundial Provided No Evidence

As usual, Music Mundial offered ZERO evidence to back up its claims that Kate Middleton agreed to accept Rose Hanbury as part of the royal family, if she keeps out of the way.

In fact, its story that Kate Middleton divorced Prince William and moved out of Buckingham Palace was already shown to be false earlier!

Music Mundial also falsely claimed earlier that King Charles III appointed Rose Hanbury’s husband as his private secretary, even though it has already been publicly announced on 17 March that he was appointed as Lord-in-Waiting!

Music Mundial quoted Mexico’s El Heraldo as the source, but its latest article on Kate Middleton does not claim that Kate Middleton agreed to accept Rose Hanbury as Prince William’s mistress.

Fact #4 : Rose Hanbury’s Husband Was Appointed As Lord-in-Waiting

Music Mundial falsely claimed that King Charles III appointed Rose Hanbury’s husband as his “general secretary”. That’s easily proven false.

King Charles appointed Rose Hanbury’s husband – the 7th Marquess of Cholmondeley, David Cholmondeley, as his Lord-in-Waiting on 17 March 2023, not as his general secretary.

There is no such position as “general secretary”, only the position of “private secretary”. King Charles’ private secretary remains Sir Clive Alderman KCVO, who served in that capacity since 8 September 2022, and in the same capacity while he was Prince of Wales since 5 February 2015.

Fact #5 : Rose Hanbury Has No Control Over Media Attention

It is rather ludicrous for Music Mundial to claim that Kate Middleton requested that Rose Hanbury not receive media attention whenever she participates in public events with her and Prince William.

For one thing – Rose Hanbury has no control over the media. She cannot get them to reduce their coverage of her, especially when she is attending public events with her husband, who was just appointed at Lord-in-Waiting.

As a Lord-in-Waiting, the Marquess of Cholmondeley is expected to attend important state and royal events, as well as represent King Charles III at events that His Majesty is not able to attend… together with his wife!

Heck, even Kate Middleton and Prince William have no control over the media, or fake news websites like Music Mundial that keep creating fake stories about them!

It would be far more believable if Kate Middleton requested that Rose Hanbury keep away from public events completely!

Fact #6 : This Is Just Music Mundial Fake News

This appears to be nothing more than yet another example of celebrity fake news posted by Music Mundial. Here are examples of Music Mundial fake news that I looked into:

Was Prince William Caught Seducing Jacinda Ardern?!

Was Prince William just caught seducing Jacinda Ardern, the former Prime Minister of New Zealand?!

Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Prince William Was Just Caught Seducing Jacinda Ardern!

People are sharing a Music Mundial article which claims that Prince William was just caught seducing Jacinda Ardern, the former Prime Minister of New Zealand!

Here is the viral Music Mundial article. Please feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

Prince William is caught seducing a woman who was close friend of Meghan Markle in New Zealand

In a masterstroke, 40-year-old Prince William has just dealt a blow to Meghan Markle’s heart by assigning a seat on the board of one of his favorite organizations to 42-year-old Jacinda Ardern, the former prime minister of New Zealand, a former friend of the Sussex couple.

The former top New Zealander was a close friend of Meghan Markle‘s until the Sussexes spilled their confidences in the Netflix documentary. From then on, Ardern began to quickly distance herself from the couple, as she did not share either the form or substance of their comments or their way of involving her in the controversy.

Ardern’s anger with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex dates back to the Netflix Sussex documentary, when the former prime minister appeared in an interview she had been given more than two years ago for a collaboration between the Mandela Foundation, Blackwell & Ruth and Harry and Meghan’s Archewell Productions.

The New Zealand celebrity considered that her appearance was out of context and that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had used her image to try to give more credibility to the documentary. That situation marked Ardern’s estrangement and annoyance towards the couple.

Her resignation as prime minister of New Zealand last January due to personal reasons and emotional exhaustion, was the precise opportunity for Prince William to take advantage of the situation and deliver the death blow to the Sussex’s relationship with the political leader who guided the destinies of the Oceanic country.

The prince was captured having a seductive conversation with the woman to get her included in the crown. The former prime minister has just been appointed to the board of directors of the awards with which the Prince of Wales annually distinguishes those who promote environmental activities and care for the planet.

Truth : Prince William Was NOT Caught Seducing Jacinda Ardern!

This is yet another example of celebrity FAKE NEWS created to generate page views, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : That Is An Old Photo

First, let me just point out that the photo that Music Mundial used to “prove” that Prince William was recently caught seducing Jacinda Ardern is almost 4 years old!

It was taken on Thursday, 25 April 2019 at the ANZAC commemorations in New Zealand, just after the Christchurch mosque attacks.

Fact #2 : The Photo Was Cropped

The photo appears to have been cropped to convey the perception that Prince William was having an intimate moment with Jacinda Ardern.

The actual photo was taken by Australian Associated Press photographer, David Rowlands, and is larger – showing them with other people right next to them.

Fact #3 : Prince William Was Not Seducing Jacinda Ardern

Music Mundial claims that Prince William was “captured having a seductive conversation” with Jacinda Ardern.

The truth is – Jacinda Ardern greeted Prince William with a traditional Māori hongi (nose press) when he arrived to attend a service in Auckland. They then travelled to Christchurch to meet with survivors of the two mosque attacks.

Prince William didn’t just share the intimate hongi with Jacinda Ardern. He also greeted other people with the hongi, including this former ANZAC serviceman.

Fact #4 : No Evidence Jacinda Ardern + Meghan Markle Are Close Friends

There is no basis for the claim that Jacinda Ardern and Meghan Markle are close friends.

Jacinda Ardern first met Prince Harry and Meghan Markle when they toured New Zealand in 2018, and appeared to have forged a friendship, or at least, an appreciated of one another.

They then met on several occasions, including a private meeting at Kensington Palace in 2019. However, there is no evidence that they are particularly “close friends”.

In fact, when Harry and Meghan released their “Live to Lead” Netflix docuseries in December 2022, the New Jacinda Ardern distanced herself from their project, to the extent of issuing a statement that she was not aware of their involvement when her interview was shot.

Fact #5 : Jacinda Ardern Advised Prince William Before He Founded Earthshot Prize

There is no evidence that Prince William appointed Jacinda Ardern to the board of trustees for his Earthshot Prize charity, in order to drive her away from Meghan Markle.

After all, Jacinda Ardern already appeared to have distanced herself from Harry and Meghan after they released their Netflix docuseries in December 2022.

In fact, Prince William pointed out that she was well-suited to the board of trustees, as she was one of the first people he spoke to, and it was her advice and encouragement that led him to establish the charity.

It is an honour to welcome Jacinda to The Earthshot Prize team. Her life-long commitment to supporting sustainable and environmental solutions, along with her experience as Prime Minister of New Zealand, will bring a rich infusion of new thinking to our mission.

Four years ago, before The Earthshot Prize even had a name, Jacinda was one of the first people I spoke to, and her encouragement and advice was crucial to the prize’s early success. I am hugely grateful to her for joining us as she takes the next steps in her career.

Fact #6 : This Is Just Music Mundial Fake News

As usual, Music Mundial offered ZERO evidence to back up its claims that Prince William had a seductive conversation with Jacinda Ardern, or that her appointed was to drive a wedge between Jacinda and Meghan.

Buckingham Palace Seized Prince Harry’s Properties?!

Leave a reply

Did Buckingham Palace just seize all of Prince Harry’s properties in the United Kingdom?!

Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Buckingham Palace Seized Prince Harry’s UK Properties!

People are sharing a Music Mundial article which claims that Buckingham Palace just seized Prince Harry’s properties in the United Kingdom!

Here is the viral Music Mundial article. Please feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

Buckingham Palace seized Prince Harry’s properties in the United Kingdom

Prince Harry continues to suffer the consequences of giving up on his royal title and duties after moving out from Buckingham Palace. According to the British press, the royal family has already planned the possible expropriation of Prince Harry’s properties and the outcome will be devastating for the prince’s worth.

Due to the bad press that Harry has brought to the family, King Charles III decided to evict him from his residence, Frogmore Cottage, and give it to Prince Andrew. This is where the Duke of Sussex lived with Meghan Markle while they were still official royal members.

A few days ago, Prince Harry landed in the United Kingdom to represent himself in court due to a lawsuit against the Daily Mail. Journalists of the British newspaper have allegedly hacked his phone to get private information about him and publish it without his permission. However, he also wanted to use this opportunity to reconcile with his family after the multiple controversies they have had.

Despite Harry’s intentions, he was not welcomed in Buckingham Palace because Charles is busy with his coronation that will take place in a few weeks. However, the media believes he wanted to have a private meeting with him to discuss the situation regarding his residency at Frogmore Cottage.

Show less

Truth : Buckingham Palace Did Not Seize Prince Harry’s UK Properties!

This is yet another example of celebrity FAKE NEWS created to generate page views, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Prince Harry Exited Royal Life In January 2020

First, let me just offer some perspective, and a quick recap on what has been called Megxit.

Prince Harry married Meghan Markle (born Rachel Meghan Markle on 4 August 1981) on May 19, 2018, after which they lived at Nottingham Cottage which is located within the grounds of Kensington Palace.

Queen Elizabeth II gave the couple Frogmore Cottage, which is located in the Home Park of Windsor Castle, as a wedding gift. They then renovated it at great expense using the Sovereign Grant.

By 2019, the couple were planning to establish a second base in the US, Canada or Africa. That culminated in their Instagram announcement on 8 January 2020 that they will “step back as senior members of the British royal family” and become financially independent.

Fact #2 : Prince Harry Lost Many Privileges + Frogmore Cottage After Megxit

It is important to remember Megxit, because Prince Harry and Meghan Markle came to an agreement with Queen Elizabeth II that:

the couple would no longer represent the Queen.
Prince Harry will no longer represent the royal family at military ceremonies and cease duties for all British military appointments
they will retain the Royal Highness style, but will not use it.
they will no longer be paid by the British taxpayer
they will pay a commercial rent for Frogmore Cottage, and repay its £2.4 million renovation costs

Fact #3 : Prince Harry Does Not Own Any UK Property

Prince Harry and Meghan only owned one property in the United Kingdom, but that was in the past, when Queen Elizabeth II gave the couple Frogmore Cottage.

However, the Megxit agreement took back ownership of Frogmore from them, returning it to the Crown Estate by Spring 2020. They also repaid the cost of renovating Frogmore Cottage.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex continued to use Frogmore Cottage as their UK residence, as tenants who paid a commercial rent to the Crown Estate.

So Music Mundial’s claim that the British royal family intends to expropriate Prince Harry’s properties in the UK is nonsense. Frogmore Cottage ceased to belong to Harry and Meghan in 2020, and they owned no other property in the United Kingdom.

Fact #4 : Frogmore Cottage Eviction Notice Was Issued In January 2023

The story of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex getting evicted from Frogmore Cottage isn’t new.

Prince Harry published his controversial memoir, Spare, on 10 January 2023. Days later, King Charles ordered Buckingham Palace to issue an eviction notice to Harry and Meghan.

Frogmore Cottage was then reportedly offered to Prince Andrew, the Duke of York who is currently living in nearby Royal Lodge, in Windsor Great Park, Berkshire.

I should point out that it is only possible to evict Prince Harry and Meghan from Frogmore Cottage because it no longer belonged to them, but to the Crown Estate.

The couple was reportedly given until the coronation of King Charles III to fully-vacate Frogmore Cottage.

Fact #5 : Music Mundial Offered No Evidence

As usual, Music Mundial offered ZERO evidence to back up its claims that the British royal family is seizing Prince Harry’s properties in the United Kingdom.

Its claims that the British press reported on this is nonsense. A quick check will reveal that no British media, or celebrity blog, reported on the seizure of Prince Harry’s UK properties.

Is Prince William’s alleged mistress, Rose Hanbury, now part of British royalty, after ousting Kate Middleton?!

Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Rose Hanbury Now Royalty, Ousting Kate Middleton!

People are sharing a Music Mundial article which claims that Prince William’s alleged mistress, Rose Hanbury, has been accepted into the royal family, and has replaced Kate Middleton!

Here is the viral Music Mundial article. Please feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

Prince William’s alleged mistress to be part of royalty and Kate Middleton decides to walk away

In recent days, it has been revealed that Rose Hanbury, the alleged mistress of the future monarch of the United Kingdom, will have a much more active presence in the crown, which would not have pleased the Princess of Wales. The scandal that befalls the marriage of Kate Middleton and Prince William continues to take root in the daily lives of the members of the British royal family.

David Cholmondeley, Rose Hanbury’s husband, has recently been promoted to Lord-in-Waiting, which is a post akin to King Charles III’s top-secret status, according to information made public by the British newspaper Daily Mail.

Because of this, the Duchess of Cholmondeley will now be much more visible inside Buckingham Palace, which will not excite the Princess of Wales, who is already weary of all the controversy that the incident has sparked.

Prior to a few weeks, a royal family-related insider confirmed that Kate was no longer residing at Buckingham Palace. But it was thought that the king might have been following protocol prior to the formal coronation, which would take place on May 6.

The future queen consort has kept her position by making no statements about the matter that has harmed her husband’s reputation, but various media outlets have speculated about the potential attitude she may be facing at this time.

Kate Middleton is still engaged in a variety of tasks on behalf of the Crown in the interim. One of them would be connected to a gathering that Rose Hanbury and her husband are likely to join. This hasn’t been formally verified, though.

Although the rumor still carries a lot of weight and has made a lot of commotion, Kate Middleton’s marriage to Prince William has suffered as a result.

While it is possible that Prince William was or is still having an affair with Rose Hanbury (anything is possible, after all), there was no actual evidence to back up those claims.

In fact, Daily Mail’s royal reporter, Richard Kay, called the In Touch claims fake news back then, and said that both Rose Hanbury and Kate Middleton considered taking legal action.

Giles Cohen himself quickly deleted his infamous tweet, and later insisted on January 3, 2022 that he was drunk tweeting in jest!

You can read more about this in my earlier article, Are Prince William + Kate Middleton Getting A Divorce?!

Fact #3 : Music Mundial Offered No Evidence

For its part, Music Mundial offered ZERO evidence to back up its claims that Rose Hanbury is now part of the royal family, and has ousted Kate Middleton!

In fact, its story that Kate Middleton divorced Prince William and moved out of Buckingham Palace was already shown to be false earlier!

Fact #4 : Lord-in-Waiting Appointment Does Not Make Rose Hanbury Royalty

Music Mundial appears to claim that Rose Hanbury has been accepted into the British royal family because her husband – the 7th Marquess of Cholmondeley, David Cholmondeley, was appointed as King Charles III’s Lord-in-Waiting.

That is utter nonsense. King Charles appointed the Marquess of Cholmondeley as his Lord-in-Waiting, but that does not make his wife, Rose Hanbury, part of the royal family. Just like how hiring a driver does not make his wife part of your family!

Fact #5 : Kate Middleton Did Not Live In Buckingham Palace

The claim that Kate Middleton moved out of Buckingham Palace is easily dismissed, because she doesn’t even live there.

When in London, Prince William and Kate Middleton live in Apartment 1A in the Kensington Palace. But in June 2022, they moved to the Adelaide Cottage in Windsor, to be closer to their children’s school in Berkshire.

They still maintain their home and offices in the Kensington Palace for whenever they are in London, but for most parts, they now live in Windsor.

Fact #6 : This Is Just Music Mundial Fake News

This appears to be nothing more than yet another example of celebrity fake news posted by Music Mundial. Here are examples of Music Mundial fake news that I looked into:

Prince William Wants Rose Hanbury Accepted Into Royal Family?!

Leave a reply

Is Prince William asking for Rose Hanbury to be accepted into the British royal family?!

Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Prince William Wants Rose Hanbury Accepted Into Royal Family!

People are sharing a Music Mundial article which claims that Prince William wants Rose Hanbury to be accepted into the British royal family!

Here is the viral Music Mundial article. Please feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

Prince William wants Rose Hanbury to be accepted into the royal family

Prince William continues to be in the headlines of the local newspapers. According to a source close to the royal family, the Prince of Wales wants Rose Hanbury to be accepted into the family. However, King Charles III had already made the first move and hired Rose Hanbury’s husband as his new private secretary.

Earlier this week, it was revealed that Charles decided to hire David Cholmondely. The British people received the news with skepticism and were left wondering about the consequences this situation could cause in regard to William and Kate Middleton’s marriage.

Royal experts think this is a clear master plan by Buckingham Palace to put all the rumors regarding William’s infidelities to rest. It looks like he wants to make sure that Rose Hanbury is accepted by the royal family to show everyone that nothing happened between them.

Meanwhile, Kate Middleton keeps gaining popularity among the public and she’s on track to becoming the most popularmember of British royalty around the world. In addition, she continues to successfully fulfill her duties as the Princess of Wales which made the people love her even more.

Prince William is trying to follow in Kate’s footsteps despite the multiple rumors that are currently tainting his image. The heir to the British throne is focused on working on his legacy as the next king of the United Kingdom.

No Evidence Prince William Wants Rose Hanbury Accepted Into Royal Family!

This is yet another example of celebrity FAKE NEWS created to generate page views, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Rose Hanbury Affair Rumour Started In 2019

For those who are trying to figure out what’s going on, here’s a quick recap.

British socialite and Times food critic, Giles Coren, also tweeted about the affair, claiming that it was an open secret:

Yes. it is an affair. i haven’t read thee piece but i know about the affair. everyone knows about the affair, darling. even us jews. (although admittedly i’m quite a posh jew – if such a thing exists.

Fact #2 : No Evidence Of Rose Hanbury Affair With Prince William

While it is possible that Prince William was or is still having an affair with Rose Hanbury (anything is possible, after all), there was no actual evidence to back up those claims.

In fact, Daily Mail’s royal reporter, Richard Kay, called the In Touch claims fake news back then, and said that both Rose Hanbury and Kate Middleton considered taking legal action.

Giles Cohen himself quickly deleted his infamous tweet, and later insisted on January 3, 2022 that he was drunk tweeting in jest!

Fake news

Every time the story of Prince William’s supposed affair with Rose Hanbury comes round again in the American press, as it has this week, the first source quoted is always a 2019 tweet from “British royal reporter Giles Coren”.

So can I please just say that, while it was far from being the worst thing I have ever tweeted, I was JOKING.

I know nothing about the royal family! I’d had a boozy lunch talking to fellow hacks about the story and in the cab home went online to blurt: “Yes. it is an affair. i haven’t read thee piece but i know about the affair. everyone knows about the affair, darling. even us jews.”

Just look at it. Look at the spelling. The non-capitalisation. The grizzly ethnic self-identification. It’s hardly Chips bloody Channon, now, is it?

Fact #3 : Music Mundial Offered No Evidence

For its part, Music Mundial offered ZERO evidence to back up its claims that Prince William wants Rose Hanbury to be accepted into the British royal family!

In fact, its story that Kate Middleton divorced Prince William and moved out of Buckingham Palace was already shown to be false earlier!

Fact #4 : Rose Hanbury’s Husband Was Appointed As Lord-in-Waiting

Music Mundial claimed that King Charles III appointed Rose Hanbury’s husband as his private secretary. That’s easily proven false.

King Charles appointed Rose Hanbury’s husband – the 7th Marquess of Cholmondeley, David Cholmondeley, as his Lord-in-Waiting on 17 March 2023, not as his private secretary.

King Charles’ private secretary remains Sir Clive Alderman KCVO, who served in that capacity since 8 September 2022, and in the same capacity while he was Prince of Wales since 5 February 2015.

As a Lord-in-Waiting, the Marquess of Cholmondeley is expected to attend important state and royal events, as well as represent King Charles III at events that His Majesty is not able to attend.

Are Prince William + Kate Middleton Getting A Divorce?!

Leave a reply

Are Prince William and Kate Middleton getting a divorce on a very important date?!

Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Prince William + Kate Middleton Are Getting A Divorce!

People are sharing a photo or link to a Music Mundial article which claims that Prince William and Kate Middleton are getting a divorce on a very important date!

Here is an except from that viral article. Please feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

Prince William and Kate Middleton to announce their divorce on scheduled date

Amid rumors that Prince William and Kate Middleton are divorcing because of an infidelity committed by the heir to the British crown, the media are claiming that the couple already have a definite date to announce their formal separation. The impressive thing about all this is that they will do it on a very important date for the royals.

The British royal family is facing another huge controversy that has them in the eye of the storm. For several weeks now, there has been talk about the possible affair that Prince William has with the English noblewoman Rose Hanbury. Yes, the same woman with whom he was seen in a compromising way in 2019.

However, this occasion would have been the definitive one for Kate Middleton to finally make the decision to end their relationship. However, she has not yet announced it, but she would already have a very special date to do so.

According to several British media, the Princess of Wales would be announcing her divorce with Prince William just a few days before the official coronation of King Charles III as the new and legitimate monarch of the United Kingdom.

You could also be interested in: Gerard Piqué had several threesomes during his relationship with Shakira.

The scheduled date for this historic event, which has not been celebrated for more than 70 years, is May 6th. As we can see, there are less than two months left for this event, which already has millions of people around the world very interested.

And the separation scandal between the future kings is not the only controversial issue that the royals are living, their fight with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Duke and Duchess of Sussex, also continues to give much to talk about in social networks.

After that article went viral, Music Mundial then posted another article. This time, it claimed that Kate Middleton just formalised her divorce with Prince William, and left Buckingham Palace!

Kate Middleton formalizes her divorce with Prince William and leaves Buckingham Palace

Kate Middleton is reportedly sorting out the final details to make her divorce from Prince William official. The royal couple would split by May and according to sources close to the royal family, this situation is causing a commotion inside Buckingham Palace.

The Prince and Princess of Wales have been in the eye of the hurricane for the past year due to the cheating scandals. William has supposedly been having an affair with Rose Hanbury, a British model, since 2019. However, this was not public knowledge until recently when a set of controversial photos were leaked.

It looks like the situation is not improving and Middleton wants to announce her divorce in May. According to the British media, the Princess is going to make a bold move and she will make the divorce official the day before King Charles III’s coronation and completely overshadow the event.

Even though nothing has been confirmed yet and there are a lot of rumors, it appears that the royal couple’s relationship is in crisis. Kate left Bucking [sic] Palace and moved to a small house with her children to avoid William. The two of them are trying to stay away from each other and are only seen together when they have to fulfill their duty as royals.

Fact #4 : No British Media Claimed Kate Middleton Divorced Prince William

Music Mundial claimed that British media said that Kate Middleton is planning to announce her divorce from Prince William on May 5 – one day before the coronation of King Charles III.

Yes, the tabloids are reporting on possible marital troubles brewing between Prince William and Kate, the Princess of Wales. But I can find no legitimate media, not even a tabloid, claiming that Kate Middleton had already decided to divorce Prince William, whether on May 5 or any other day before the coronation of King Charles III.

Fact #5 : Prince William + Kate Middleton Do NOT Live In Buckingham Palace

The claim that Kate Middleton moved out of Buckingham Palace is easily dismissed, because she doesn’t even live there.

They still maintain their home and offices in the Kensington Palace for whenever they are in London, but for most parts, they now live in Windsor.

Can You Buy China Spy Balloon On Alibaba For $18?!

Leave a reply

Can you buy the infamous spy balloon from China on Alibaba for just RMB 118 / $18?!

Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : You Can Buy China Spy Balloon On Alibaba For $18!

Pro-CCP netizens are trying to push the narrative that the infamous spy balloon from China is really a cheap weather balloon that anyone can buy from Alibaba!

They are sharing a screenshot of an Alibaba store on WhatsApp and social media platforms, claiming that you can buy the same “spy balloon” for just RMB 118 / $18!

You can buy this balloon to scare the US for 118 RMB.. warning fighter jets might be sent to shoot it down..

Truth : You Cannot Buy China Spy Balloon On Alibaba For $18!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by the Chinese 50 Cent Army (wumao, 五毛) or pro-CCP netizens, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Chinese Balloon Was Not A Weather Balloon

First, let us start with a basic fact – the US Air Force shot down a spy balloon from China, not a weather balloon.

Weather balloons are common – thousands are launched daily across the world to collect information on the temperature, wind and moisture in the upper atmosphere.

Weather balloons are not very large – expanding from 6 feet (1.8 metres) to 20 feet (6 metres) in diameter as they rise in altitude. Their payloads are also small, consisting of a small box with a few sensors.

The Chinese spy balloon that the US Air Force shot down was not only much larger at around 90 feet (27.5 metres) wide, it also had a very large payload that included large solar panels, and even propellers to control its movement.

Real weather balloons also do not travel far – they generally go up to a high altitude and stay there. Spy balloons, on the other hand, need to travel long distances. This Chinese balloon travelled thousands of kilometres from China to Alaska to Canada, before reaching the continental United States.

Fact #2 : RMB 118 Weather Balloon Is Small

I traced the viral photo to this Alibaba store selling latex weather balloons. As expected, the RMB 118 / $18 balloon that pro-CCP netizens were promoting is small…

The store offered four sizes, with slightly elevated prices in US dollars (it’s cheaper in Chinese Yuan):

48 inches (4 feet) : $4.80
72 inches (6 feet) : $6.40
96 inches (8 feet) : $17.80
120 inches (10 feet) : $23.60

As I pointed above, the spy balloon that flew from China all the way to the United States was about 90 feet (27.5 metres) wide. It’s roughly 729X larger than the weather balloon sold on Alibaba!

Fact #3 : Viral Photo Was Edited

The viral photo appears to have been edited, by taking a screenshot of the Alibaba store using a mobile phone, and combining it with a photo of the actual spy balloon from China.

The intent appears to make it look like they are both the same balloon, and are being sold on Alibaba for just RMB 118 / $18.

The truth is – the actual Alibaba store does not show any photos of the spy balloon from China, which has a large payload platform and solar panels.

Instead, the Alibaba store only shows this photo of a latex weather balloon being held by a man – a good indication of just how small it is, compared to the real spy balloon. The other photos in the Alibaba store shows the available balloon sizes, and how much they weigh.

Fact #4 : This Is Just Chinese Propaganda

This is just another example of Chinese propaganda created by the infamous Chinese 50 Cent Army (wumao, 五毛), or pro-CCP netizens.

All of the wumao articles and videos that I looked at so far have proven to be false… at every instance. So please watch out for such false claims.

Why US Shot Down Chinese Spy Balloon With Missile!

Leave a reply

Find out why the US Air Force shot down the Chinese spy balloon using an expensive $400,000 AIM-9X Sidewinder missile!

Claim : US Shot Down Spy Balloon Using Expensive Missile!

Pro-CCP netizens are mocking the US government for shooting down a cheap Chinese weather balloon using an expensive $400,000 AIM-9X Sidewinder missile!

US so panic of a balloon

they sent FOUR (4) fighter jets (2 x F-22s, 2 x F-15s) to “survey the situation”, before firing that $400k AIM-9x Sidewinder A2A missile to shoot the balloon down.

America used a $400,000 missile fired from a $216,000,000 fighter jet to shoot down…

… a weather balloon.

China can just send more balloons….

Why US Shot Down Chinese Spy Balloon With Missile!

This is yet another example of PROPAGANDA created and propagated by the Chinese 50 Cent Army (wumao, 五毛), and pro-CCP netizens, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : There Were Two Chinese Balloons

On Friday, February 3, 2023, China admitted that the massive balloon hovering over the US state of Montana belonged to them, but claimed that it was a weather balloon and not a spy balloon.

Later that same Friday, a second balloon was spotted over Latin America. It took China another 3 days to admit that it was theirs, and another “weather balloon” that was “blown off course”.

Fact #2 : Chinese Balloon Was Not A Weather Balloon

Weather balloons are common – thousands are launched daily across the world to collect information on the temperature, wind and moisture in the upper atmosphere.

The Chinese weather balloon that the US Air Force just shot down is not only much larger at around 90 feet (27.5 metres) wide, it also has a very large payload that includes large solar panels, and even propellers to control its movement.

The kinds of weather balloons that are launched twice a day from Weather Service offices are typically just a little box that has a temperature sensor, relative humidity sensor, pressure sensor and then a little tiny transmitter. Based on the photos that have been going around, there’s obviously a lot more equipment on this one.
– Alexandra Anderson-Frey, Professor of Atmospheric Science at the University of Washington

Real weather balloons also do not travel far – they generally go up to a high altitude and stay there. Spy balloons, on the other hand, need to travel long distances. This Chinese balloon has travelled all the way from China to Alaska to Canada, before reaching the continental United States.

The reported characteristics of this balloon don’t really match anything that we’re familiar with. This has been traveling at a much longer distance than what would be these standard weather balloons.

[Standard weather balloons] go up over one particular place and up to about 50,000 feet in the atmosphere, and then that’s it, they’re done. They don’t travel large distances, so I think that there’s pretty significant differences between typical weather balloons and this reported balloon.
– Jonathan Porter, Chief Meteorologist at Accuweather

Fact #3 : Chinese Balloon Was At Very High Altitude

The US Air Force sent two F-22 Raptor stealth fighters to take down the spy balloon, with two F-15 fighters to probably take videos and photos of the event.

While Chinese netizens may snigger at how the USAF has to use such an expensive fighter jet to shoot down a cheap Chinese balloon, they ignore the fact that the Chinese spy balloon was operating at a very high altitude of about 65,000 feet – that’s 20 km above ground level!

The F-22 Raptor was likely chosen for the task as it was most capable of flying to such a high altitude while loaded with missiles. Many jet fighters have “similar” maximum service ceilings, but their true service ceilings are often much lower, limited by the amount of armament and/or fuel they carry.

Fact #4 : Missile Was Necessary To Shoot Down Balloon

In the end, the F-22 Raptor with the callsign FRANK01 attained an altitude of 58,000 feet (17.7 km) before firing an AIM-9X Sidewinder missile at the balloon. It was the first air-to-air combat kill for the F-22.

While Chinese netizens mocked the use of such an expensive missile, the AIM-9X Sidewinder is the smallest and cheapest air-to-air missile in the USAF arsenal.

It would be impossible for the F-22 Raptor pilot to use its 20 mm M61A2 Vulcan rotary cannon to shoot down the balloon, which is still 7,000 feet (2.1 km) above it!

In case you are wondering – the M61A2 Vulcan has an effective range of only 2,000 feet (600 metres). So a missile was necessary to bring down the Chinese spy balloon, and the AIM-9X was the right tool for the job.

Interestingly, the FRANK callsign may be a reference to World War I Medal of Honor recipient First Lieutenant Frank Luke Jr., who is known as the “Arizona Balloon Buster” for shooting down 14 German balloons, as well as four planes.

Fact #5 : China Breaks International Law With Spy Balloon Overflights

It is ludicrous for anyone to claim that China can keep sending “cheap” spy balloons to trigger the Americans, as every country has “complete and exclusive sovereignty over the airspace above its territory” under international law.

Such acts are therefore violations of international law, and infringements of the sovereignty of the countries that these spy balloons overfly.

That’s why Chinese government keeps claiming that these spy balloons are civilian craft. That is also why the US government has the right to shoot down the spy balloon without asking China for permission.

Fact #6 : Every Fallen Balloon Is An Intelligence Bonanza

In the United States, Republicans are complaining that President Joe Biden was weak in allowing the Chinese spy balloon to fly off the coast of South Carolina before shooting it down on Saturday afternoon, February 4, 2023.

What they don’t tell the people is that President Joe Biden asked the US Air Force to shoot down the spy balloon as soon as it was safe to do so.

On top of that, the US military wanted to retrieve the spy balloon to examine its payload, and the best way to keep the payload intact would be to bring down the balloon over shallow water, instead of land.

In accordance with the President’s direction, the military brought down the balloon within sovereign U.S. airspace and over U.S. territorial waters to protect civilians while maximizing our ability to recover the payload.

On Monday, February 6, 2023, the first parts of the Chinese spy balloon arrived at the FBI headquarters in Quantico, Virginia, for further analysis.

Depending on what they recover, it may be possible to determine what these spy balloons are capable of, what it recorded, and who manufactured its components. The Americans may possibly gain insights into hitherto unknown Chinese technologies.

Instead of mocking the Americans for shooting down a “cheap” spy balloon, perhaps the Chinese 50 Cent Army (wumao, 五毛) and pro-CCP netizens should worry about what the Americans might find….

Restricted F-16 + Missile Info Leaked In Game Forum!

Leave a reply

Restricted information on the F-16 fighter jet and its AIM-120 AMRAAM missile were just leaked in the War Thunder game forum!

Restricted F-16 Fighter + Missile Info Leaked In Game Forum!

Fans of War Thunder are always arguing about fighter jets and their weapons in that free-to-play combat vehicle simulator game, and those arguments can get pretty heated.

One F-16 fighter jet discussion that started in July 2022 became more heated after the F-16 Fighting Falcon was added in the Apex Predator’s update in December.

On Monday, 16 January 2023, a War Thunder gamer called spacenavy90 accidentally posted Restricted information on the F-16 and its AIM-120 AMRAAM air-to-air missile, during a discussion on how accurately the War Thunder developers modelled the F-16’s flight and cockpit weapons control system, known as the Stores Control Panel (SCP).

Interesting thing I found during my research. During early AMRAAM testing you can see how F-16A would equip the AIM-120 and use TWS on the non-MFD stores control panel “SCP”:

He backed up his post by attaching four documents. Three appear to be research reports on the AIM-120 AMRAAM air-to-air missile, while the fourth was the F-16 Pilot’s Handbook for the AMRAAM missile.

(U) High-Performance Wingless Missile Research
(U) AIM-120 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM), Force Development Evaluation (FDE), Phase 3, Part B (3B)
(U) Weapons File, 2009
(U) Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile Manned Air Combat Simulation (AMRAAM MACS). F-16 Pilot’s Handbook

Leaked F-16 Fighter + Missile Info : Old But Still Restricted!

Now, the documents were old and no longer classified. In fact, they were all marked “Unclassified”. So the offence wasn’t as egregious as the earlier leak of the Chinese DT10-125 tank ammunition!

The High-Performance Wingless Missile Research document, for example, was published in May 1999, while the F-16 pilot’s handbook on the AMRAAM missile was published in May 1982!

The AIM-120 AMRAAM Force Development Evaluation paper was newer, being published in August 2000, while the Weapons File was the newest document – published in July 2009.

However, they are all still considered Restricted information, as the documents were labelled “Export Controlled” and “DoD Only“, as well as “distribution authorised to US government agencies only“.

As another War Thunder gamer pointed out, “The penalty for conviction of unauthorised disclosure includes up to 10 years in prison, a large fine, or both.”

A moderator quickly removed the documents, and replied to the post saying that they contained export-restricted information, and posting them was not permitted “per U.S. Laws on restricted and export restricted data“.

War Thunders developer, Gaijin Entertainment, later issued a statement :

A user posted some information on AMRAAM missiles for F-16. As far as we know, these documents are considered export restricted and are not meant to be shared or used by unauthorised people. We always delete posts containing classified or restricted information from our forum as soon as possible. We forbid our users to share documents like this on our platforms. We remind our users again and again that it’s both illegal and pointless, so they should never do that. We never use documents like this in our work.

So, we deleted the posts. The documents themselves were in fact posted via links to a third-party Discord server, so they were never actually uploaded to our own servers. In any case, we made sure that those links are not available to the visitors of our forum or our employees.

F-16 Fighter + Missile : Just Latest Leaked Info On War Thunder Forum!

This is hardly the first time military personnel and enthusiasts accidentally leaked sensitive or classified information during heated arguments.

Just 3 days ago, another War Thunder forum user posted screenshots of a USAF Air Combat Command paper manual published in 2015, and an F-15 operating manual published by McDonnell Douglas in 1993.

Both manuals had a printed warning that they “contain technical data whose export is restricted”, with violations “subject to severe criminal penalties”.

In June 2022, a photo of the tungsten penetrator of the latest DTC10-125 tank ammunition used in China’s main battle tanks was posted together with its classified technical data!

In 2021, parts of the United Kingdom’s Challenger 2 tank user manual was leaked by someone who claimed to be a Challenger 2 tank commander, who was trying to convince the game developers to make their in-game model closer to the real tank!

Say what you will – War Thunder gamers are really passionate about the game, and how accurately it reflects real-life military equipment!

Was President Joe Biden caught groping a girl in a viral video clip?!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : President Joe Biden Got Caught Groping A Girl On Video!

A short video clip of President Joe Biden has gone viral, with people claiming that he has finally been caught on camera molesting a young girl!

DeAnna Lorraine 🇺🇸 : This man just groped a woman on camera.

#StopTheWEFnow : Uncle Biden strikes again!!! 💥

This sex-crazed old man just can’t keep his hands off pretty girls.

When do people say enough is enough? When do the news networks stop protecting him and report this for what it is?

If Trump did that… #StopTheWEFnow

Moron, wet brains are screaming and kicking their feet about @Santos4Congress lying while running for political office but doing nothing about this bullshit.

WHAT IS THIS? It’s from a live broadcast – so not somehow deb-faked, or photoshopped images. Who is this (under-age) girl that Biden is touching her chest and kissing her????

Truth : President Joe Biden Was Not Groping The Girl!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by right wing activists, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Video Was Taken On October 29, 2022

While many people appear to believe that this incident just happened, the video is almost three months old.

The video was recorded by the Associated Press on Saturday, October 29, 2022, during early voting for the 2022 US midterm elections at a polling center in Delaware.

Fact #2 : Joe Biden Was Placing A Sticker On His Granddaughter

The original video shows President Joe Biden and his 18 year-old granddaughter, Natalie Biden – Beau Biden’s daughter, who was voting for the first time.

After they both cast their votes, they received “I voted stickers”. After Natalie Biden placed hers on her grandfather’s jacket lapel, the President asked her, “Wait, wait, wait, wait, which side do you want on?”

Natalie Biden then indicated she wanted the sticker on the left side of her dress, and President Joe Biden placed it there before giving her a quick kiss on her cheek.

The original video shows President Joe Biden placing the sticker and giving Natalie a kiss in about 2-3 seconds.

Not quite what it appears. We have enough on #QuidProJoe that we don’t need to fake it. pic.twitter.com/yz1vstwdlH

Fact #3 : Joe Biden Kissed Natalie Biden On Her Cheek

While some people are claiming that Joe Biden kissed the girl on her lips, that’s not true.

For one thing, reporters mentioned back in October 2022 that President Biden kissed Natalie Biden on her cheek.

The president and Natalie Biden placed “I voted” stickers on one another after casting their votes and the elder Biden kissed his granddaughter on the cheek.

But even if you don’t believe them, take a CLOSER LOOK at the video clip. You can see Natalie Biden turn her head as President Biden leaned in to kiss her… on her left cheek.

Fact #4 : Video Was Edited

The viral photo was edited from a very short clip of the original video, to a much which shows President Joe Biden placing a sticker on his granddaughter’s dress, and giving her a quick kiss on her cheek

It appears to be edited with a segment that loops back and forth to make it look like Joe Biden was fondling the girl’s left breast.

If you look at the white bearded man in the background, you can see him move from left to right and back to the left again. In the original video, he only moves to the left once.

The viral video also used a short clip of the song Simon Says by Pharoahe Monch, which suggestively goes, “Girls, rub on your titties (yeahhhh). Fuck it I said, rub on your titties”

Fact #5 : Video Was Apparently Created By Machiavelli Memez

If you look carefully, the video has the watermark of Machiavelli Memez, who posts right wing material on Twitter. The same watermark also adorned the fake photo of President Joe Biden molesting a little girl.

Believe it or not, President Joe Biden was falsely accused of molesting a little girl at a kindergarten just last month, based on a photo with a Machiavelli Memez watermark.

So watch out for any photos or videos with a Machiavelli Memez watermark.

Ultimately – the viral video was edited to make it look like President Joe Biden was groping the girl’s left breast.

In reality – he only placed a sticker on his granddaughter’s dress, before giving her a quick peck on her cheek. His fingers were on the sticker the entire time, and did not linger for more than 2-3 seconds.
