Did the new royal bride get today off work

Noted that Harriet Sperling was at Ascot today .... as the press keep reporting she's an NHS nurse do you think someone swapped shifts with her today. Will her roster be flexible for the new jaunts???

Yes, @EnormousGinpleaseI think you’re right on the money with your suspicions that she is never ever at work! it’s absolutely clear that she has left children crying and unattended on a ward without a backward glance just so she can swan about in a dress she shouldn’t be able to afford on some royal jaunt. All this while her patients are dropping like flies of some medieval plague while her valiant NHS colleagues hold things together knowing that from now on she will spend all her time drinking champagne and kicking the serfs.

She has definitely got above herself and not being at her NHS post on a Wednesday is the sort of thing that could finally topple our healthcare system. I expect she flashed her wedding certificate at the hospital HR director and told him her Wednesdays are now ring-fenced for spending the day with chinless Barbour wearers.

It's shocking, isn't it? No doubt she took food from the children's ward for their picnic as well. Shameless.

Probably even took the plastic plates from the play kitchen too.

Awful. Nurses, eh?

Terrible ;-)

Imagine being so jealous you actually go to the effort of starting this bonkers thread, all so you can see if you can get other women to join you and give her a kicking, for what, being attractive, happy, wealthy?

it’s utterly shameful op and only reflects on you. You misjudged your audience hugely, we maybe vipers, but we don’t do this.

I’d suggest popping back to the daily fail comments section.

HorrorPudding · 17/06/2026 22:18

@scienceteachersarefun that’s definitely what happened. You can tell by looking at her that she’s that sort.

Crumpled86 · 17/06/2026 22:30

Such a strange post. She probably booked leave, many people do after a wedding.

DaisyDooley · 18/06/2026 10:10

I hope you wrote an equally nasty thread about Victoria Starmer who certainly had multiple days off when the election was on /afterwards.
I’ve searched @EnormousGinplease but I can’t find it.
Can you provide a link?

Toddlerteaplease · 18/06/2026 10:12

Guess what, nurses are allowed days off! What’s more we can request them!

I’m an nhs nurse and an absolute princess. I chose not to go to ascot but went to Aldi and the gym instead. I am not a slacker like whoever you are discussing.

I’m currently sitting in cafe Nero. I don’t really fancy Ascot. Pretty sure my ward is managing just fine without me. 😂

Oh my god! You can afford the coffee in Nero?! So, a huge amount of wealth as well as leisure time!
I'm glad the OP has highlighted the shame of the nursing profession.
It'll be Centre Parcs next.

@scienceteachersarefun I also have a cleaner. 😂

Ok. You've got to be trolling now.
