Does anyone know where Prince William is?

Errrrr….. where’s Willy? The press focus in the past 24 hours has been perplexing. King Charles’ diagnostic has been the top item, of course. But, bizarrely, the 2nd item has almost invariably been… Prince Harry this and that and the other. Prince HARRY??? What’s with the obsession with him? This should be about Prince WILLIAM! Yet from/about him, absolute silence. What on Earth is going on?

And please don’t start with the “he has to be at his wife’s bedside”. If Harry The Not Next In Line To The Throne And Not Counsellor of State And Can’t Stand In For The King etc etc can fly all the way from Montecito, then William The next King and He Who Should Stand In For King Charles can go visit his Dad in hospital (did he?), rush to be by his dad’s bedside (did he?), make announcements about which official duties he will take up, etc etc.

I know Prince Harry is the one the media are addicted to writing about and slagging off to drive clicks, but can they (and so many on these boards) perhaps take a break from their unhealthy obsession with H (&M) and keep the spotlight where most would expect it to be, on King Charles and, in particular, his successor Prince William?

Yes Bowers aggressive language is disgusting - has a narcissistic tone. Like his mask has fallen off.

MrsLeonFarrell · 08/02/2024 17:37

Tom Bower, Angela Levin. Omid Scobie, are all making what I assume is a good living being vile about people they don't know. I can't imagine how hard it must be to try to navigate a difficult family situation with people who supposedly support you on social media, the tabloids, GB News etc spreading lies and making the worst assumptions every time you raise an eyebrow.

Indeed. I'm amazed he's not being criticised anywhere for insisting Charles would not have chemotheraphy even if he needed it.

WatchOutMissMarpleIsAbout · 08/02/2024 18:02

He sounds a little completely deranged imo

Mymilkshakebringsallthepapstomycar · 08/02/2024 18:04

@MrsFinkelstein Oh no! Raheem Sterling must be a vile, slavery supporting colonialist!

I’d add lady colin Campbell to that list

SidekickSylvia · 08/02/2024 19:20

Tom Bower dislikes Charles, too. I got the impression that he doesn't like any members of the royal family, but it makes him money.

Interesting pictures of Raheem Sterling doing exactly what W & K were so roundly criticised for.

Is it me or did William look out of sorts at the ceremony. ?

I'd forgotten about her, definitely.

I've only seen the bits they posted on Instagram but I thought he looked the same as usual. He tends to have an expression that to me looks a bit pained but it's probably just him focusing. I suffer from terrible RBF so I sympathise.

I wouldn’t blame him if he was out of sorts. All that pressure and everyone watching your move. Not for me for all their money.

Of course William would look a bit out of sorts - his father has had prostate treatment and now has had a cancer diagnosis. His wife has had surgery and is in recuperation. His twat of a brother is flying in like the Lone Ranger from the Land of Nod. It's pissing rain every day. The man will be worried and. disturbed by all of that.

Aquarius1234 · 08/02/2024 20:34

There's something sinister about William. Could never put my finger on it.

Love a bit of the Lone Ranger !

Possibly because your finger knows it's rubbish ?

@wordler. Can you honestly say that it would not have god the bad publicity it did but for Twitter and the bonkers Sussex Squad? I don't actually think that, sorry.
The LandRover pics were already doing the rounds and Rasheem Stirling over there showed what was going on, he is hugely popular so the media could see it all.

So what’s the difference between these two planned recreations from the 1950s, then?

A hypocrite or several?

I’ve seen this said a few times yesterday and today. By posters who have previously shown their support for the Sussexes and their dislike of the Wales’. I sense a pattern here 🤔

mrsmingleton · 08/02/2024 21:22

@Serenster that is very interesting. Thanks for that.

Fingers are never wrong, Jeff! Only yesterday my finger warned me about out of date cheese.

ArcaneWireless · 08/02/2024 21:38

Difference?

One was duty. The other desperation.

Serenster · 08/02/2024 21:43

mrsmingleton · 08/02/2024 21:22

@Serenster that is very interesting. Thanks for that.

It’s also interesting to compare how, for example Omid Scobie tweeted about the two events, before declaring that there was no agenda here….

Yes, definitely double standards, eagerly embraced!

Mymilkshakebringsallthepapstomycar · 08/02/2024 21:47

Does anyone take that pathetic, lying, crotch grabber seriously?

wildernesssw · 08/02/2024 21:51

Some do, it seems. While also condemning the media...
