Well, you know, if you were ever to fancy the company of arseholes, you’ll be able to choose from some pretty professional ones on here.

Either it's work , so as President of the LTA , she should be attending.
Or it's pleasure, in which case, she can do as she wants.

Either way, it's not any of my business.

If I'm honest here I think she's going because she loves tennis. She'd probably go on a stretcher if she could. Just my opinion. She's hardly working a shift in a busy supermarket or on a ward as a nurse or driving an Amazon van. She will have someone to do her hair/make up, drive her to the event, given the best seating available and be treated like "royalty" because she is.

How articulate is this! It's up there with 'Fawlty Towers' and 'Monty Python'.

We need a larger bingo card.

Obviously because she's having an affair with Roger Federer, don't you know so needs an excuse to meet-up.
Yes I'm making this up but will fit the script in certain places, yes SS I'm looking at you.
Good for her I'm hoping she's on the mend, and glad she feels up to it.

Some posters seem to be reading a different thread in their own head, in which all the sheeple are saying "Kate is so wonderful and hard working, doing her duty by slogging her guts out at Wimbledon when she's got cancer, for the good of us plebs, she's an example to us all."

Nobody on the actual thread is saying that, the pro-Katers are mostly saying "it's nice to see she's well enough to attend, I hope she enjoys it."

This kind of thing happens ALL THE TIME on this forum. It is fascinating.

Please don’t deflect. You appear to know what he’s thinking. Why wasn’t he at the semi?

Didn't he have to go and pretend to care about homelessness for an hour or so the next day, so that he could make it look like he actually did some work in case England got to the final, which he was never going to miss.....unlike the women's final. He doesn't do much if you look at the number of engagements over the years.

Totally this.

Noone is comparing attending the Mens Final to a 12 hour shift in A&E, noone, but the mean spirited cavilling by those for whom (certain) members of the RF can do no right is just ridiculous.

I've had a stinkingly awful and very worrying week, I really imagine somewhat worse than many of the miseries on here moaning about a woman having cancer treatment going to the tennis. I can still find it in me to not resent people having a bit of fun, especially those who have been through the worrying time that Kate has and that would apply whether someone is a Princess or not.

I think lots of people guessed that her appearance at an event last month was so that she could attend Wimbledon without people questioning it. If she needs time off, she should have it, but she's taking the piss to turn up at the tennis when doing fuck all else. I'm not surprised, she's never been known for her hard work as others have said. She and William are a joke.

Right, so logistically he wasn’t able to go to something he probably really wanted to go to. Logistics, eh? Fancy that.

I spent so much time during chemo feeling guilty and apologising. Guilty that I was being a shit mother and letting my children down, letting my partner down, letting my work colleagues down and letting myself down. I remember breaking down and being comforted by a stranger that no one was judging me. I’m glad that if they were I didn’t know at the time. Don’t like the royalty that’s fine but portraying that there’s a right way to do chemo especially when it’s female on a mainly female board when so many will have been through chemo, are currently undergoing or may unfortunately go on to have chemo that unless they martyr themselves they are not worthy, even if they are physically unable to work.

She's allowed to enjoy herself frs

I'm a huge fan of Jonathan Pie. I wrote it in his persona, which appears to be melding with mine this year

100%. I was disgusted that he didn't go and support the women in their final. I don't believe for a second that he'd have missed the men's final.

It’s basically either Republic and/or sugars finding anything they can to moan about and debasing themselves by attacking the characters of the RF through any means possible, including their cancer if that’s what’s on offer. Why not go down this road when you don’t have any other argument? I mean, a reasoned discussion about the replacement of the monarchy with an elected head of state, the essential changes needed constitutionally, the knock on effect to the political landscape and whether we would actually save any money in the process. None of that is easier than slagging off a cancer patient and fervently hoping her marriage is in trouble. That’ll fuck up the monarchy! (Not.) Want to be ruled by miserable ghouls? Join this crowd.

Well said @PrincessMee

@thebluebeyond I find your comment disgusting.

It's hardly a 'cause'. I think it's a poor choice of engagement to attend when she is effectively signed off sick.

She has good days and bad days as she said. So lucky that's she's having some good days now, leading up to the Men's final, isn't it? She really is one lucky duck.

I’m a fervent Republican but that comment is really off and unnecessary.

How anyone could begrudge a person for having a day out after months of what could have been gruelling cancer treatment is beyond me.
I cannot believe anyone would not wish her, or anyone else, well and to be pleased for them to be able to do something they enjoy.

She’s patron of the AELTC?

Please don’t lump all of us Republicans in the same basket.

I don’t have anything against the Princess of Wales personally and have sympathy for anyone with cancer.

She’s always very professional and I imagine that she wants to do the parts of her duties that she is able to do.
