Kate and William booed at Celtic game in Boston

[antelopevalley]

Kate and William have six events on their trip to Boston, one of which is attending a Celtic baseball game. Every time their faces were shown on the Jumbotron ( giant TV screen) they were booed and there were chants of USA. William and Kate reportedly looked very uncomfortable at the game.

They hadn't done anything wrong at the game. They turned up suitably dressed and watched the game, that was all.

But I think going to Boston and especially to the Celtics game was always a mistake. They seem to operate on the basis that everyone will be thrilled to see the Royal Family and do not appear to understand that this is not always the case. They need to choose the places they visit much more carefully and drop any outdated beliefs that they will be welcome everywhere they go.

I actually think they are…… 😬

When the people involved are not the actual perpetrators then I think there is a need for basic human decency.

First rule of working in any public-facing role: "they're not yelling at you, they're yelling at the institution you happen to be paid for representing opposite them."

While it is, undoubtedly, not "kind" to be booing the Waleses, I should like to think they're rather more handsomely compensated for their troubles than the shop assistant being yelled at for not accepting clearly worn returns without a receipt or the hotel receptionist being told to go fuck themselves because someone hadn't read that the "budget deal" on lastminute.com wasn't going to be for a 3 bedroom river-view suite.
