Unrestrainable flatulence.

The number of posters who believe this is the only plausible explanation is hilarious

Do some people experience this so frequently that it's LIKELY?? What on earth is the process of elimination that so many people keep arriving at 'it must be the shits then'?

Absolutely bizarre.

What on earth is the process of elimination that so many people keep arriving at 'it must be the shits then'?

I think it's a highly overstimulated process of elimination that leads to the shits

Ahem, you mention the "Process of elimination". That's the shits surely.

It’s something to make him entirely not presentable at the event yet apparently he was still well enough to inform them himself.

The Royal Family ought to be set up with sufficient back up to field an hour or so of unexpected childcare … so …

1* on TripAdvisor for the local takeaway Winds-O-Windsor

I hope I'm not speaking too soon, but for a RF thread, this has to be one of the least toxic and rather amusing one I've read in a long time.

so they are all frothing about the shits? Sounds very unpleasant.

It's something which wasn't an issue yesterday, or even first thing this morning, or he would have cancelled yesterday, or first thing this morning. So that narrows it down, and D and / or V must be a possibility.

I think “ windworries” username holds the key .

The morning is a very very bad time for the shits - part of the body's natural processes.

But why not just say, he's not feeling well with a minor illness. Unless with Charles and Kate being ill they don't want to cause some sort of panic about William being ill too.

If he had gone with the shits, that priest would have had sore arms swinging the incense around the church.

It's either the shits or the kids. And I don't want it to be the kids

Oh god, kids can be shits sometimes too. Double the trouble.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Surely in the rich tapestry of life there are other plausible explanations? Random ones, ones we don't see coming, clear blue sky ones...there could be any number of things that arise in a life. We don't know, of course!

But the number of people who are concluding 'the shits, then' is genuinely making me laugh

It’s so odd that posters are manufacturing “the reason” and then getting angry about it

I was once en route to a funeral and a gurgling began, then cramping… and I spent several hours in a service station. Imodium quite useless.

Same I can't help it. On every page someone is confidently stating "it's the shits"

Don't be silly. His reputation is workshy and he's certainly living up to it.

I mean obviously those are not the only options.

Would it not be Thomas Kingston dying?

there could be any number of things that arise in a life

Oh FGS I read that as things that ARSE in a life.

Yes I would have thought it was Thomas Kingston dying as well.

I did think maybe a dental emergency
