Prince George went with Kate and William to watch a match.. What a shame Princess Charlotte isn't there...!

Bless her, she's so young. If she wants to watch it they are probably at home with a big screen, a butter pie in one hand and a dandelion and burdock in the other. It's tradition!

It must be a nightmare being them, having their every decision questioned by people have no business doing so.

Words · 31/07/2022 18:54

They probably have something more interesting to do? Grin

It will be nil all when the whistle goes then they will lose at that thing where they all have a go at scoring a goal.

So no point watching. Football

I am not interested in football men or womens. It isn't compulsory to be.

ajandjjmum · 31/07/2022 18:59

I thought Charlotte would have enjoyed being there as she enjoys women's football, but maybe her parents think their DC have been on display quite a lot lately, and best give it a miss?

Especially after there was such a lot of moaning about George wearing a suit at Wimbledon, despite the fact that it's the rule in the Royal Box!

Saggytrousers · 31/07/2022 18:59

A young child shouldn't have to sit through a football match if she doesn't want to or if her parents don't think she would find it interesting or if she is busy doing something else just because she is a girl and her family will be accused of sexism by some busy body if they don't take her.

Rewis · 31/07/2022 19:07

If George is such a football fan why is he not there? Charlotte should be there cause she's a girl?

Theheartisalonelyhunter · 31/07/2022 19:11

I find these threads so odd. Why do you care? Why does anyone care about what the royal family do?

EllaBella41 · 31/07/2022 19:12

I wouldn't have wanted to go 🤣

MyrtlethePurpleTurtle · 31/07/2022 18:12

I thought the mainstream media just fawns over what they’re wearing and how oh so super cute these super lovely super children are

Very possibly-but not on MN.

bellamountain · 31/07/2022 19:14

She's still only 7 and might not even like football.

InFiveMins · 31/07/2022 19:14

Given the current rumours about Prince William, I reckon Charlotte has been kept away on purpose.

They are odd. The minutiae of a family people don’t know, will never meet and have no insight into.

Have I Josef see nothing? Rumours?

PurBal · 31/07/2022 19:18

@dudsville Pay them? Charlotte is 7. She may have been born into privilege but I think we can give her a bit more time before we expect her to be a working royal.

Saying “good luck” in a two minute video is very different from being at Twickenham for more than two hours.

Also, if I haven’t said so already, she’s 7.

PurBal · 31/07/2022 19:19

Wembley even. Sorry, more of a rugby person 🤦‍♀️

Parker231 · 31/07/2022 19:22

Why?

RuleWithAWoodenFoot · 31/07/2022 19:22

My daughter is the same age and wouldn't have been interested in going at all. She didn't want to watch it on TV either, she and I watch no football ever, women players or men players. Her dad is watching it in the other room. We watched some nonsense on Netflix instead.

Itsbritneybitch22 · 31/07/2022 19:31

Ffs she’s a girl so has to watch girls playing football? Maybe she’s not into football or had something better to do, did he take the boys with him or because they don’t have girl parts iy don’t matter?

SpidersAreShitheads · 31/07/2022 19:39

I’m just here to say a huge well done to the Lionesses - what a match!!!!!

No clue whether Charlotte likes football or not.

MassiveSalad22 · 31/07/2022 19:39

Elderflower14 · 31/07/2022 17:37

She appeared on a video with William this morning wishing the team well.

And that could have been like pulling teeth for all we know 😄

Elderflower14 · 31/07/2022 19:42

Very happy that we've won!!!

I’ve got goosebumps watching the medals ceremony now @Elderflower14!!!

So pleased for our women and brilliant for women’s football in this country.

Goneback2school · 31/07/2022 19:55

I've a 7 Yr old dd and while she's as sporty as they come, plays 3 team sports, runs and swims, she would have 0 interest in watching a full length adults match.

derxa · 31/07/2022 20:00

William had to present the trophy and kate was elsewhere in the country.
What a brilliant win for England (and I'm Scottish) And what a brilliant job William did of consoling and congratulating the players. He's great
