The anonymous post was seemingly uploaded by DeuxMoi on their Instagram page.The post showcased that it was submitted via their online form by an individual with the pseudonym Gardening Time. It read:“This is so salacious I’m almost too shook to share with you (But will anyway). This British Royal extramarital affair is an open secret in London and amongst the English aristo set, and is the talk of every party, I was told the real reason for affair was the royal’s love of pegging, which the wife is far too old-fashioned to engage in. The wife doesn’t mind her and in fact, prefer her husband getting his s*xual needs fulfilled elsewhere, as long as things don’t become emotional, which was the case with the last woman.”Following the post’s popularity on Twitter, many believed that the rumor was essentially about Prince Williams, as the anonymous claim mentioned that the Royal member was involved in an extramarital affair. This conclusion was likely drawn from the previous allegations of affairs against the 40-year-old grandson of Queen Elizabeth II in 2019.It seems that some also tried to link Kate Middleton to the mention of the Royal wife in the post, which stated that the spouse of the individual was "too old-fashioned" to engage in the activity. It is still unknown what prompted netizens to associate the Duchess of Cambridge with that aspect.Netizens react to “Prince of Pegging” hashtagFollowing the popularity of this hashtag online, a massive number of tweets were shared on the platform.
