To think the Prince of Wales is being inappropriate and tone deaf to be so vocally supportive of England

At the World Cup. “The whole country is behind you”. Is it too much to ask that as Prince of Wales he supports Wales at their first ever World Cup?

He must be aware that a significant proportion of the people of Wales are a bit miffed at the speed with which he was given the title. Just goes to show the bubble he’s in.

If Australia doesn't get its act together and become a republic, William will be King of Australia. So a kind word to our team would not go astray.

He should be supporting any and all British teams that made it to the World Cup and not showing favour IMO.

I agree

He shouldn't hold this title, nobody should. The faux interest in the 3 other UK nations is tiresome and says all we need to know about him. I find the RF fascinating as a concept but fuck that level of unearned privilege and hereditary enormous wealth and position.
Republic time.

Does he have to be 'given' the title ? I thought it was automatic that the heir assumes the title when the previous holder becomes monarch. All the ceremonial stuff comes later.

As a side comment I think he's looked quite unwell for a few years.

*Sick to the back teeth of the hate that English people get about practically everything from Scots and Welsh people.

I won’t enjoy seeing Wales lose in the same way I do Scotland though.*

love the 'sick of the hate the English get' whilst actively enjoying Scotland lose. Not being indifferent, but actively enjoying it. Like that's not the exact same behaviour as you are moaning about...

7% of Northern Ireland fans said there's no way they could support any other team which is ridiculous since we never qualified!

Northern Ireland have qualified for the World Cup three times.

That was actually in reference to Euro 2020 if you re-read again. 🤦‍♂️

Of course, we've qualified for 1 Euros and 3 WC - qualified for the WC long before the Republic of Ireland's first appearance too.
