Not that it was ever her intention (as IF), but Beyoncé did Prince William a favour last night and that favour continues to give today as she dominates everyone’s timeline. It would be asking too much, though, for him to appreciate the assist from a Black woman – he’s not exactly an expert in that department. Since Beyoncé is THE conversation right now though, it’s pushed the conversation about William down lower on the feed. Which has to be a relief…because William was trending yesterday. And not for a good reason. Actually no, it was for a very good reason, it’s just that he and the pearl clutchers wouldn’t see it that way.

DeuxMoi posted a submission a couple of days ago. A reminder here, to be fair, that DeuxMoi comes with a disclaimer that they do not independently confirm the gossip that people send into them. Back in May,Kayleigh Donaldson wrote a pieceat Pajiba about why DeuxMoi is problematic, you should read that post in addition to this one; which doesn’t mean DeuxMoi isn’t a good follow, it’s just part of being fully informed and maintaining media hygiene as we consider all angles of the gossip narrative.

So, to go back to Prince William, this is the DeuxMoi item that resulted in him going viral:

For several hours yesterday, #PrinceofPegging was trending and this one, in my opinion, is the winner – it’s brilliant, it’s history, it’s royal gossip expertise, it’s spectacular, LOL forever:

It didn’t stop there though because that hashtag resulted in sex education. Look at all these headlines yesterday!

The Independentoffered an explainer:

Metro came with two pieces on pegging, the first featured thosewho prefer getting pegged….

…and the second featured anexcellent punbefore promoting the use of strap-ons:

Indy100, however, very astutely put outa guide for safety, because these are sensitive areas:

All around the world this weekend, many people will be introduced to the pleasure of pegging thanks to Prince William!

And to be clear… no shame. I’m not even calling it kink shame because ass play is not a kink. The anus is an erogenous zone! There’s nothing fringe about it!

But to go back to William, I repeat, we don’t know if this is true and we will never know if it’s true because, I repeat, this is a rumour, just a random tip that DeuxMoi posted that is totally unconfirmed and will never be confirmed or denied either way – like can you even imagine them actually addressing it? They are f-cking mortified right now that this is what people are talking about! Remember, William comes from people who can barely show affection with their family members, and now people think he likes a poke now and again?

Ironically, if it were true, it would kinda be the best thing about him…because, let’s face it, Will’s reputation is vanilla AF. The ass play would give him a lot more personality. Which, ultimately, is why it can’t be true. There is no personality.

But again, this is not the kind of viral moment the Cambridges were hoping for when they decided to put more energy and resources into social media.

And will they have to now report it to the Queen?!

On a more serious note, whether or not it’s true that Will likes to get pegged, should this be a public discussion? Well, of course not. If he’s being lied about, that’s just another layer of insult. But then again, as many are pointing out, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are lied about all the time in the Daily Mail. And the royal courtiers, bolstered by senior royals like Prince Charles and Prince William, not only did nothing about it, they continue to work with the DM. Now another gossip outlet with same initials, DM, DeuxMoi, maybe be doing the same about Will. What’s the move now? Keep calm and carry on? Never explain, never complain?

One of Prince Harry’s social cause priorities is to clean up the internet and stop misinformation and disinformation. #PrinceofPegging would certainly qualify as disinformation, as is all the f-ckery that the Daily Mail continues to throw at the Sussexes. So why wouldn’t the British royals want to get on board with this initiative?
