Does anyone know where Prince William is?

[TallerSally]

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?

[Title should read does anyone know...]

Sorry wrong thread !! Asking for it to be removed now!

@jeffgoldblum maybe you mean me not @janiie?

I which case I agree, I am mixing skullbabe up with the 'Harry can do no wrong' crowd.

My apologies @skullbabe

Absolutely. It will be interesting to see how much Charles changes.

No @wildernesssw , it was the litigation thread but it was the same sort of thing, @skullbabe had agreed with the sentiment and I felt that she was being blamed for another's post .

Fairs fair.

Indeed. And skullbabe has agreed Harry was being hypocritical in his flying long haul flight. Respect to them.

Well yes actually.

He was talking about it before anyone else.

Should that not have him better prepared then to adapt his life style?

Why though? , why should he?
Has everyone else?
Do you think if the royal family stopped flying, everyone else would?
Because I can tell you that wouldn't happen!
Humans are selfish, self absorbed creatures, happy to lecture others about things but not do keen if it affects them or reduces their enjoyment.

You are correct - I do not travel by horse and cart.

But I also don't own a variety of properties that probably have just under 1,000 bedrooms all told.

I think the larger point is - do as I say and not as I do.

Just stop sayin'!

But they haven't said !
That's the point!!!!

Why though? , why should he?

Leadership?

Ethics?

Money meeting mouth?

And what has them owning properties got to do with the environmental impact of flying?

Leadership?
We've been told over and over that they have no real power and that they are figureheads and have no place interfering in politics!

Those properties would exist if the RF didn't own them. Pure politics of envy

Precisely nothing

Seems like you and I are talking about different things.

In my reading - the King was ahead of the curve on the environment.

Within that I would consider him well versed in all âspects of climate change, including flying. Owing properties means maintaining them while empty - fosil fuel for heat springs to mind.

I think that rather than discuss their environmental impact as a whole you would prefer to discuss each on it's own merit?

And we seen over and over again that that is simply untrue.


The influence tends to be for the enhancement of their own family.

Well yes , this whole discussion started because Charles was being criticised ( rather harshly in my opinion!) because he took a helicopter to his estate after his cancer treatment! , no one on here was discussing anything else at this point! .
🤷‍♀️

Yes of course the properties would exist with or without them.

It is one thing having them as an asset of the State (as in Italy or France) vs having them subsized for the private use of one family.

My position is definately political but why would you position it as envy?

It is an interesting assumption to make when you have no idea who I am, what I have, what I do not have, or even what I want! 😂

I am glad you did though as it helps me position your posts.

That is your personal opinion, which you're entirely entitled to !
It's not mine or I imagine a few others on this thread.
Dropping this discussion in is your progative, however it's not something I wish to discuss, I've made up my own mind and won't waste time arguing with others.

I see.

I jumped ahead a few pages - apologies.

I assumed it was environmet as a whole seeing as his early expertise was mentioned.

I'm just blethering on the Internet. Much like you

Both of my parents died of cancer and I was diagnosed with it about three years ago.

I give a fuck on account of the environment as well as on account of Charles's hypocrisy. It was a journey of 100 miles only.

@derxa 🤣🤣🤣, blethering? No surely not !
I'm slightly curious how the positioning of posts works though!

It sounds vaguely sinister. I hope the positioning isn't too painful 😂
