Maybe he didn't think Andrew was going then they told him he was

He's the future king, his role is a diplomatic one, surely he's more mature than that!

Potentially a place in the Classics section ( if it still exists)

I think Kate is a lot more ill than what we've been told. Whether its a physical or MH illness remains to be seen.
(Just as a side note, William didn't attend Constantine's actual funeral either.)

According to Wikipedia, Gabriella Windsor represented Price William at the funeral. She was also his goddaughter.

Re Pippa as a distraction - the tabloids have a big spread of her frolicking in a bikini at her in-laws resort - sometimes with Carol in a sensible one piece - nearly every single year at about this time.

So I wouldn’t read anything into that.

Brilliant!

Honestly few would wish anything bad on him or his wife/kids. However there's nothing wrong with filling a vacuum of information with speculation either. That's the result of bad PR from the moment Kate's illness was announced.

Something's going on and whether we will be told or not is another matter. If Pippa was used as a bikini clad (the price of them!) distraction, ok but then if she went away it's not a life threatening issue of Kate's, more an ongoing crisis that's nearing its denouement maybe? Kate could be with her lawyers every day since day one of her "illness" I suppose, and the financial and custody settlement is now ready waiting for PW's sig. OR ELSE!

OK, OK, I'm speculating, but what else is there to do with such little information on a family that's more or less public property anyway.

IMO, the most likely thing is that the Duke of Kent or Princess Alexandra is nearing the end, and both Charles and William have diverted to wherever they are.

Princess Alexandra was in attendance at the memorial.

Kenthighst · 27/02/2024 15:37

@Efacsen but the royals have a team in place for these sort of misfortunate accidents.
Also Lambrook would surely be equipped to deal with this also until a parebt was available unless it was extremely serious.
The royals (& other members of the higher echleons of society) are not the same as us mere mortals.
There is definitely a lot more going on behind the scenes. He could have quietly slipped out after his reading.

For sure Lambrook could probably manage a couple of sutures but anything requiring an x-ray or scan couldn't be done on site - and at some point someone with PR needs to be there even if you're a royal

SunflowerSeeds123 · 27/02/2024 12:16

I think the RF are being vv private at the moment about a few things & fair enough. When the time is right, we'll know what's going on.

Very well said

FWIW, given the number of staff and others in their circle who must know what's really happening, I'm actually quite impressed that everyone's keeping schtum about genuinely private matters

If only there was more of it ...

Andrew was loving William's absence. He had jolly well worked out, within a right royal nanosecond, that he was now the highest-up-the-line-of-succession left attending, and strutted his stuff at the head of the pack like a puffed up bloated walrus on legs.

Anne should have been Leader of the Pack.
She's older than Andrew.,

please give my love to your dh. made me laugh. top man. that really is the only reason and don't understand why all are pussyfooting around. someone had to say it.

Why would an affair mean dropping out of his godfather's memorial service at late notice?

Anne also went to represent Charles.

it wasn’t remotely unusual for QEII and Charles to send representatives to funerals rather than attend themselves so it’s not really surprising that William and Charles continued that.

He did have to wait at the chapel door for her to enter first.

LBFseBrom · 27/02/2024 15:56

Kenthighst · 27/02/2024 12:14

He pulled out less than an hour beforehand which strikes me as odd.
Also this was a service for one of Williams godfathers, he was due to do a reading.

William is also godfather to one of the late King's grandsons. They were all very friendly.

He wouldn't have pulled out at the last minute without a good reason and, as he said, it's a personal matter.

Wasntmeanttobelikethis · 27/02/2024 15:56

Isn’t Kate’s dodgy uncle going on CBB; maybe they’re trying to negotiate a deal that stops him blabbing….

In the affair that Giles Coren admitted he made up?

Some people really scrape the barrel here.

user1477255159 · 27/02/2024 15:58

According to the papers William has at least 90 household staff. Footmen and doormen, chauffeurs, cleaners, laudrymen, butlers, personal assistants, garners, cooks, maids, secretaries etc. He's paid millions to show up for social events. Even celebrities work hard to earn their status before being invited to such events.
The tax payers pay for him, Kate etc and should be informed about how they're spending their time especially when they don't show up in spite of all the clothing allowance, cars, chauffeurs, stylists etc paid for by poor commoners.

Katie's sister and mum are busy holidaying and having a grand time. Showing up at a service is not work.

William is L-A-Z-Y and E-N-T-T-I-T-L-E-D. He's happy to take the money, pay no taxes but the public must not ask questions while he directs his press off to leak stories about the better brother. Horrid!

Most likely one or more of the kids are sick at home and Kate isn't well enough yet to run after them.

They have a nanny?!

Yeah if Kate was seriously unwell, her family wouldn't be on holiday. This is a service for his godmother. There's really no reason to skip it

EchoChamber · 27/02/2024 16:00

No one on this thread has thought about whether Charles has taken a turn for the worst. Surely that’s the obvious one?

More like he didn't want to be photographed in the same place as Uncle Andy.

I wonder if he was cross about him being out in front and centre.
