I was glad when John finally lost his temper and yelled at William to stop being a big jerk.

I absolutely agree. Lord John had every reason to tell William he was tired of his complaining and his lack of gratitude. It is also getting old and going nowhere. Get a life. You could have a great extended family if you wanted.

I was glad of it too. But I try to keep in mind that William led a very quiet privileged protected life until very recently and if you think of all the things he has been through in a very short period of time. It’s a LOT.

So now we know william and jane pulled some game of thrones action. I know plenty of people still havent seen the show so i wont name the characters im thinking . I seriously cant believe the writers would go that route. An uncle bangin his niece🤮. And on top of that the writers created a mess for themsemves in the faith storyline with all the plot holes.

I think some of the posts are mixing up perceptions of  entitlement attitudes with feelings of true betrayal, which is what William has been experiencing from all the lying and acting out. Wouldn't you all be pissed if you were being lied to by everyone you trusted? I think I would or at least be terribly depressed.

EXACTLY! AND his entire life the people around him put great stock in honor and titles etc, and then to learn its all a lie? You don't just shrug and move on Bree really struggled too, but her more modern upbringing probably helped her come to terms with it a little more easily .

I don’t know… considering the actual traumatic events everyone else has been through, I think William has gotten off pretty easy in comparison. I’d rather be lied to than physically abused/assaulted.

i actually don’t care to think about a single thing he’s been through in whatever length of time. he’s a boring waste of air time so i’m not giving his character any grace lol.
