William & Kate gone to Norfolk

If they did this after school ended in London did they do it after London had gone to tier 3?

Not if they went before midnight.

It depends when school ended. We went into Tier 3 on Thursday. My DD's school broke up that day so we were in Tier 3 by the time her school finished for Christmas.

Aren't you getting mixed up with Tier 4?

It's different for them because anything they do can count as work obviously

Kids are at private school, so would have happened over a week ago.

Before tier three.

Private schools often have different dates. My sisters broke up on Wed, so if they left then they would have been fine.

Its a moot point they will do whatever they like and zero consequences.

George and Charlotte’s school term ended on 11 December.

London went into T3 on 16 December.

Since mere mortals don't have the means to fuck off to the country, they get to do things the rest of us don't all the time.

Now isn't any different. Make sure to bow and scrape at your betters.

Course they did.

They have been there a week, before London went into T3

Kate is that you

Is imagine a large number of families within the private school system have done exactly the same thing if they have a second house. I can't get very incensed that they've done it.

I think they knew this was coming hence being fudgey about their Christmas bubble plans
I’m sure they are ready for a lovely Christmas.

I see no problem.

Private schools broke up before tier 3. If I could have I would have done the same. No judgement here.

The timing of London moving into tier 3 was designed to impact those people whose children are not privately educated ie not our dear leader, his mates or the royals

Are their kids in private? Usually they break up earlier, don't they?

I do t actually give much of a toss where they are ( just being pedantic I guess) but should they be going home now? Seeing as we're supposed to be following the rules of our main home.

No doubt the rest of them will also be hightailing it to whichever home they fancy going to, with fawning entourage in attendance as well.

How many cabinet members children are in state schools seriously go look it up before you make comments like that

Private schools finished a week ago. There are lot’s of people in Barbados, and the Maldives. That’s where the moneyed have gone. They went a week ago.

Last Christmas Boris was on Mustique with Carrie, bet they are missing their freebie this year. Bless their little cotton socks.

Well if they're already home, it's a moot point, surely?

At least they won't be traipsing around the country, attending mass events without masks, or using keyworkers to stage ridiculous photo ops for the foreseeable future.
