Inspired by @Ladypenelopeforever ‘s post.

I find that William is photogenic and this is one of the best photos (albeit not candid) of him in a while.

What do you see? For me, I see humour about his lips and the faraway look in his eyes has a touch of sadness. Overall, the Prince has gravitas, he does not need the red folder to signal that. There is also a reddish blush to his skin. Either he caught the sun during the D Day commemoration or he is blushing for some reason

Let us see if we can keep comments positive, friendly and on topic this time. One can hope. 🙏

Uh oh, OP. Good luck. Hope you can bear a thread full of people either insulting you or displaying bitterness about somebody who has more money than they have. Standard Mumsnet.

MaryFuckingFerguson · 13/06/2024 05:19

I see a middle aged bald twerp.

Or perhaps people merely disagreeing with you, OP.
It is allowed, after all, despite what @uhOhOP evidently thinks.

There's disagreeing with the OP and then there's "you sound completely insane" and "you need help", though, isn't there?

MaryFuckingFerguson · 13/06/2024 05:45

She does sound a tad insane though, tbf.

He looks like your average NYC rush hour commuter his way home in one of the nice new LIRR trains. The faraway glint is him mentally running through his pantry supplies to decide on what to cook for dinner with the kids.

He's a prince, not a character in a trashy novel. If you have ever looked at the Bayeaux Tapestry, William the Conqueror was not a heart throb. Frederick II Hohenstaufen, known as the wonder of the world, was described as a small red-head. King Alfred suffered from migraines and depression and was also not an Adonis. Yet all these people had rich lives that changed the world. This may have been because they didn't spent their money on clothes and thought about something other than their appearance.

William is meeting his obligations to his family and his country. He's using his Duchy of Cornwall money to make a difference. That's the actions of a good heir to the throne. He hasn't thrown a fit, moved to another country, and started to undermine it's Constitution.

I have no particular agenda to defend William the Conqueror’s hotness, but it really does seem unfair to conclude he was not a heart throb off a fairly rudimentary stem stitch and couching embroidery representation of him in wool yarn …

Calliopespa · 13/06/2024 07:18

Op you are in the grip of a crush.

It’s a quite nice photo of an average looking bloke who might or might not have the creative sense of kingship of his father or the sense of duty of his grandmother.

Mintyt · 13/06/2024 07:22

Certainly something about it, it's captured something, and he looks calm and healthy

EnjoythemoneyJane · 13/06/2024 07:30

Jesus wept. Being in the public eye must be absolutely fucking terrifying.

Willmafrockfit · 13/06/2024 07:31

i think it is a nice photo, a small smile

Willmafrockfit · 13/06/2024 07:31

i can see a look of prince philip about him

This is the best comment I have ever seen on Mumsnet.

I agree. It has genuinely made me really laugh.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 13/06/2024 07:42

He looks to me like he needs a hug. Wouldn’t want to swap places with him. On a human level he must have so much worry about his father and his wife.

Brilliant!!!!

Gorgonemilezola · 13/06/2024 07:46

The thread has gone pretty much the way the OP hoped it would - lots of people denigrating the photo.

'Op you are in the grip of a crush.'

No - the OP is a stirrer judging by previous posts.

RosaRoja · 13/06/2024 07:46

Come on, OP, this is embarrassing. Bloody hell.

RosaRoja · 13/06/2024 07:47

Ok, then, a stirrer. Fooled me 😂

Looks like a poor man's Phil Spencer.

He was so handsome when young. I'm afraid I don't find him handsome anymore. Not just physically either.

Poor man's Phil Spencer! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Zanatdy · 13/06/2024 07:50

He looks very regal. He’s going to be a very popular King when his time comes.

ExitChasedByAPolarBear · 13/06/2024 07:51

I never understood why he didn’t get any treatment when it’s clearly obvious that male pattern baldness is hereditary. At the time, it was seen as a positive thing and was considered refreshing because he just shaved his head. But I think that hair makes a big difference especially when it shapes one’s face.

upinaballoon · 13/06/2024 07:56

Nosferatutu · 13/06/2024 00:05

It’s a good picture, he does look quite thoughtful. You can see Prince Philip in his face there imo. Agree it’s a massive shame about his hair though.

That's interesting. When I looked at it I also thought there's a hint of Prince Philip there.

Mary Fucking Ferguson, why do you think he's a twerp? Can you give a specific reason?
