Page 8 | Prince William should have honoured his prior commitment

No, I'm saying that May 19th should never have been on the table in the first place!

That isn’t what your thread title suggests at all.

Can’t speak to the OP cos that was 2 words long.

Wait! Does this mean they are getting married on a Saturday? Oh so it does? Well that gets around the not making it a public holiday thing quite neatly. I'm happy with that I can watch it on the TV without taking a day off work

Wedding in the morning, say 11:30, time enough to have a quick bite of lunch, pop up to Wembley for the match, present trophy and be back in time for the evening bash. Bit hectic, but doable ;-)

Contrary to popular belief the world does not revolve around football.

GreyMorning · 15/12/2017 16:36

Football isn't important. YABU

That's what the Air Force helicopters are for.
Willie could land just to handout the trophy and head back to the wedding.

Worst case, Skype a message.

Football and royal family bashing on one thread. Excellent. Couldn't you have shoehorned in a MIL? I love football and the royal family.

Mintychoc1 · 15/12/2017 16:52

The time of the wedding will be arranged so as not to clash. William will do both.

Lweji · 15/12/2017 16:53

The question is which one will/would you choose?

Eltonjohnssyrup · 15/12/2017 17:00

Isn't the wedding going to be in the morning and then the football in the pm?

My plan is to get hugely pissed up during the wedding in the morning whilst wearing Union Jack clothing and singing the national anthem. I may even get maudlin and shed a tear for dear departed Di.

This has nothing to do with patriotism or fondness for the royal family. It just really irritates my Irish husband. Which is great fun.

Then in the afternoon I shall ruin the football for him by bitching about Beatrice and Eugenie's outfits and Camillas hat very loudly during the exciting bits then crying about Diana being dead again.

It'll be the most fun I have this decade unless the Queen carks it.

I reckon you could find people on this website who would have said that Ferguson should've missed the '99 Champions League final if he was invited to a wedding because 'football is just overpaid men kicking a ball'. And they'd be the same people who'd go on about the revenue the royals bring in as an argument against abolishing the monarchy.

DirtyBlonde · 15/12/2017 17:04

Had he actually committed to being there this year?

BBC page just says that he 'normally' attends, and given that he expects to have a newish baby, he might not have committed to anything in the early weeks.

After all, it's not as if he hasn't faced enough criticism (including threads in MN) for attending football fixtures. He's damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.

Though perhaps he could just borrow a helicopter and fly over?

Hardly the same thing is it!

Totally

OuchLegoHurts · 15/12/2017 17:16

Some of you British people take your royal family stuff waaaaaaaaay too seriously!!!

JacquesHammer · 15/12/2017 17:17

Do people in adult relationships really do that? Deliberately try and ruin something their partner will enjoy? Am going to presume you're being tongue in cheek!

Blackteadrinker77 · 15/12/2017 17:17

I'd rather go to the match.

But I'm a massive footy fan and can't stand weddings

ToothTrauma · 15/12/2017 17:18

OP is right; nobody has ever taken a day off work to attend a wedding in the history of humanity so why should he be any different?

Viviennemary · 15/12/2017 17:18

William is hardly ever seen doing royal duties. I think it's wrong that he misses this high profile event and the wedding should have been arranged for a different day. It's as if they're thinking ah well football is only watched by plebs so who cares.

happypoobum · 15/12/2017 17:20

Elton Can I come round? I will borrow my nans Royal Wedding plates for us to eat our party food off.

BrizzleDrizzle · 15/12/2017 17:21

It'll be sods law that it'll be the first time in history that Aston Villa start playing decent football instead of subbuteo and actually get to the Cup Final.

JacquesHammer · 15/12/2017 17:21

No they're probably thinking it's an honorific title and he's already missed at least two years for other obligations so the precedence is there

eddiemairswife · 15/12/2017 17:22

I doubt the new baby will have any effect on his commitments. He hardly does a 9 to 5 job unless being 'prince' is a job. I should think people on this site would be more concerned about poor Kate, juggling being matron-of - honour, two under-fives and possibly breast-feeding a new-born!! On her own, because William is either being best man or at the footie.

Undies1990 · 15/12/2017 17:25

Nobody cares!

Of course he's going to his brother's wedding rather than a stupid game where stupid grown men kick a stupid ball around for millions of pounds per annum.
