Are they in hiding? I'd have thought that given the recent atrocities and with so many young people still in hospital they'd have made an appearance somewhere as a mark of support and solidarity with the Nation.

Your op was answered- theyre not in hiding. The Queen and William have been in Manchester recently and Harry is on the far side of the world

Hulababy · 05/06/2017 17:14

You know, lots of these famous people get so much grief when they are all over the press visiting people after such events - the media making out its all about them, they should be doing things quietly and not having photographers there, etc

They do something low key - such as Prince William visiting the emergency services involved - and they are too low key and not doing enough.

araiwa · 05/06/2017 17:14

Its also known that the queen hates gary barlow so thats why shes not going to the concert Hmm

MrsPeelyWaly · 05/06/2017 17:14

I was more than happy to see Harry have Iftar in Singapore the other night, and all the more so because of the recent atrocities.

MrsJayy · 05/06/2017 17:15

I think them being at the concert would be a security nightmare and tbh if they were there it would have been all about them iyswim

Hulababy · 05/06/2017 17:16

And had they been at the concert - why are they there? did they pay? should only be for the proper fans? Jason Manford got enough stick on Social Media for being there and people almost wanting to prove he'd actually paid for seats for him and his family, and he's no where near as famous as the Royals - can only imagine the level they'd have got!

Dogivemeabreak · 05/06/2017 17:16

You know if they'd been at the concert people would be bitchin about free tickets or taking space from some poor child. Whatever they do they can't win.

cowgirlsareforever · 05/06/2017 17:18

I suppose that's right Mrs. Jayy. I know the younger Royals have form for attending benefit concerts and I was thinking perhaps they've been advised to keep away for the time being.

Probably on holiday or swanning around somewhere.

MrsJayy · 05/06/2017 17:20

Wait a minute the Queen hates Gary Barlow i knew there had to be a reason he hasn't got his sirness that he is desperate for Grin

MumIsRunningAMarathon · 05/06/2017 17:22

Haha... nice try opHmm

Attempting to be goady I see!!

abilockhart · 05/06/2017 17:22

Yeah, Queen was always a Robbie Williams' girl in her Take That days.

CivQueen · 05/06/2017 17:23

Maybe Kate is looking after her children

Pahahahahahahahahahahaaaaa!!!

They probably see them once a week or something.

The nannies on the other hand, I'm sure will have their hands full Grin

cowgirlsareforever · 05/06/2017 17:25

Not really Mumisrunningamarathon I acknowledged I made an error regarding William but I'm not sure why Kate and Harry haven't been seen. Has Harry been abroad for several weeks?

Justanothersingledoutnumber · 05/06/2017 17:26

William and The Queen herself have been visiting manchester victims in hospitals.

ajandjjmum · 05/06/2017 17:27

Nanny - singular Civ.

Funny isn't it - if they were there they would have been criticism for them stealing the spotlight, if they're not there, they're in trouble for not going! Can't win can they.

cowgirlsareforever · 05/06/2017 17:29

I knew about the Queen's visit Just.

OP posts:
PetalMePotts · 05/06/2017 17:31

Royal visits to hospitals are very disruptive. They take away resources, medical staff, admin staff, security. I think the Queen visiting was enough.

Flyinggeese · 05/06/2017 17:31

Oh FGS OP why would you start a thread without even checking facts?

araiwa · 05/06/2017 17:31

We should just round up every royal, chuck em on a bus and send them round the country to please op

The queen and the future king have been to visit. How many more do you want? Im sure the emergency services have nothing to do at the moment

cowgirlsareforever · 05/06/2017 17:32

I made a mistake regarding William. It happens!

OP posts:
The80sweregreat · 05/06/2017 17:33

Hanging out with Noel maybe? Who cares, this concert was the victims. The people that mattered were there.

The80sweregreat · 05/06/2017 17:33

For the victims..

MumIsRunningAMarathon · 05/06/2017 17:33

Yes,really op

Because you are still wittering on... 'where's Harry'...'wheres Kate'.....'where's....'...oh no,wait, Charles/Camilla/Edward/Anne etc hold no interest for you. The other royals might be doing things, but you insist it's Kate and Harry who are 'lying low'

There is no obligation or real need for every single Royal to attend or do anything

Why are you so fixated on Harry and Kate??
