Will, George & Charlotte - Taylor Swift concert (photos)

[PrettyFlyforaMaiTai]

Looks like William took George and Charlotte to see Taylor Swift for his birthday. Looks like Taylor was just as happy to meet them as they were to meet her.

None of the jobs they chose to do are real though. It's meaningless photo ops for the tabloids to keep royalists happy. All at the taxpayer's expense. It's odd how people seem so happy to pay for one family to live a life of luxury based on battles their ancestors won.

I thought they had their own money. I read William has like, £100M and Harry like £38 and King Charles like £700M? I’m sure they don’t get reimbursed for concert tickets!

I’d rather just have the money and not the old crap drafty palaces. I watched a little of the Trooping and it seems like a big yawnfest to me. Plus I can’t stand still and not make faces for that long. I’d be like little Louis.

Yeah plenty of people do that, but don't give as much as The Royals do to the country.

🤣🤣🤣

💤😴 🙁

I mean, real enough that Harry’s wife said she should get paid and then didn’t want to anymore? It must be tiring and sooo boring. It can’t all be Taylor Swift concerts, right? 😅

I don't know which is worse, the critics or the sycophants/apologists.

I'm indifferent which is down the middle I suppose.

There appear to be more critics than supporters though, and overall I'd say the numbers critical of the Royal Family is increasing.

I'm guessing that is because many don't care anymore and look at them all as actors who appear in a short stage play every few days/weeks. To make sure they are seen and to prove they exist and are relevant.

That is your opinion. Since the Restoration the Monarchy has pretty much been there by consent. Got rid of it once, didn't last long, that.

And I really, really take exception to you saying that search and rescue or air ambulance pilot is not a "real job".

Goodness. I can sit through long ballets and whole Wagner operas. By the size of the audiences, many more do, too. It's certainly possible to sit through the TotC. I find it interesting, but it's a personal taste. Perhaps things you do, others may consider "yawn fests".

How am I an awful person because I disagree with your political view of the royal family?
Doesn't make me awful- it's literally a different view to yours.

Do you mean the jobs they had before they became full time working royals @pleasehelpwi3 because for PW and PH that includes search and rescue/air ambulance pilot and apache pilot in a war zone - they sound pretty like pretty 'proper' jobs to me...

I guess but I think I’d rather have all Taylor’s fans liking me than a bunch of stodgy people anyway. More karaoke with Taylor and more concerts and fun smiling pictures with celebs would be my PR strategy.

Noticed that Starmer was Wembley with his wife. Oh Rishi you missed out. Prob scrambling for an invite. The Guards played Shake It Off at Buckingham palace. Why do I think Kate is sat at home and saying to William you did give her our number so we can do lunch. Empress of pop with Queen in waiting. A real press fest there. Maybe get Swifts management on the case. They've done a stellar job for her so William and Kate can get some advice.

I posted earlier that Meghan wrote a personal letter to Taylor inviting her to be interviewed . Taylor’s PA declined .

He is President of the FA- it is work attending an international match to support the English team.
The Taylor Swift thing was his birthday treat with his children.
Royal Ascot is part of the Royal calendar and expected, as is Trooping of the Colour.

Well I haven't said anywhere in the post I'm unhappy. You've made that up.

Does everyone with a different political viewpoint to yours seem nasty and bitter?!
I'm not the one insulting other posters. I wonder if you say that in real life to people you don't agree with?

I would LOVE to know what the posters bashing The Royals actually 'do' for a job! I bet they don't even have one!

You fucking hate them all don’t you 🤣🤣😊
good on them I say 😊

Neither of them lasted long though did they? And I'm sure they got them on merit....

You do sound unhappy. And bitter and angry.

Are you OK? 😕

I thought this thread was about music!! don’t understand how Taylor is political or taking your kids to see her is anything to look down on? Is it because she’s American? Not all Americans are bad.

You are a Tory MP and I claim my £5

Can you actually fly a helicopter @pleasehelpwi3 ? Because if you can't no amount of nepotism is going to get you those jobs. But you know that, or you should.

I'm fine, just totally bemused at how wrong you are!
I hope you're not in any job that involves reading people's feelings!

Again- we don't share the same opinion on the Royal Family- it doesn't make me bitter, unhappy or anything else!
