I am glad Kate is feeling much better,however

Watching the news about the horrendous rubbish problem in Birmingham,this was followed by Kates film clip rambling about Windermere saying we need to connect with nature and couldn’t help thinking it was inappropriate.I bet cancer sufferers in Birmingham would love to do this instead of holding down a job worrying about col doing chores that I bet she never does and have stinking rubbish with rats in the streets. I have no problem with her video but thought the timing was so off. They sometimes need to read the room.

An Easter service is an important religious occasion.
I don’t doubt the press are interested in the fashions, but that’s not what the service is about.

So if he goes to a private church ceremony in Norfolk, will that satisfy you? Or do you need proof?

I have repeatedly said. It’s not about his personal belief system. It’s about his public duty- his job. To publicly attend an important religious service is a a responsibility he should be undertaking.

The public aspect of this is the most important part. He has to be seen to be attending his duties.

So if he's seen walking into a church in Norfolk on Easter Day, will this satisfy you?

That’s not what you said though. You said…

we also said he didn’t attend last years Easter service because his wife has been recently diagnosed with cancer and had to share that with the world in horrible circumstances. So….

No, because his duty is to attend the service at Windsor. He has chosen not to, why? Because he now knows he can opt out. Something he would never have done when the Queen was alive.

Kate being unwell and unable to attend isn’t an issue this year.

Says who though? Please list where it is demanded that this is demanded? Thank you in advance.

If you are so unfeeling about a husband whose wife has cancer not attending a church service, then yes, that is my opinion of you. I don’t really follow or remember random names on Mumsnet apart from when I’m quoting them.

My point was-

Posters stating that he could have attended a church service last year, that’s he just didn’t attend the Windsor service.

I said there were no pictures of him doing so. So there’s no evidence that he would be attending a service outside of Windsor this year either.

I have no idea why the Carol service pics were posted.

Where does it say it’s the Prince of Wales duty to attend a public Easter service? Please do provide evidence, or else maybe get in touch with the Archbishop of Canterbury or Head of the Church of England to discuss your disapproval.

Can we please stop with the personal insults. I’m happy to engage with you but you have to stop this.

To label me as unfeeling is untrue. I said there was no evidence that he attended church last year, hence rheres nothing to point to him attending church this year.

I didn’t say, he should have abandoned his wife in her time of need to go to church.

But @AtIusvue it isn’t his duty to. It’s a private family service that has become a family tradition. Which part of that are you not understanding? It has nothing to do with the fact that the monarch is the head of the Cof E. It is a family occasion. Not a public one.

edit to remove random pirate expression at the end 😆

There are well known responsibilities and duties as a royal, that are not necessarily written in stone- but nevertheless, the public expects. Attending Easter service is one of them.

Why Windsor ?

Because you said there’s no evidence for he attended ANY church last year. Perhaps you need to be clearer in your posts if that’s not the case you meant to make? It is difficult to keep up with your actual concerns here 😵‍💫

No, it's not his duty to attend a private family event that has nothing to do with the State, governance of the state or his duties current or future. It has simply become traditional fodder for the tabloids to talk about fashion and gossip, and therefore a tabloid press expectation that has been disappointed. Hence the tabloid frothing, which you have fallen for, hook, line and sinker.

The press/media are allowed into the grounds of Windsor, to witness and record the Royals attending the service. No it’s not a public service.

It’s done so, because it’s important that the public see their monarch and those supporting him, attending an important religious service.

Where is well know ? Pray do tell? Past services have always included the Prince of Wales (title not person)?

The Royal rota are brought into to cover this as a story. It’s important for the RF that they are seen attending this service.

Much like the Xmas day service.

I can’t answer that for you, if you have zero indication of what events royals are known for attending.

The royal family are, the King and co are attending. Where does it say that the Prince of Wales has to go?

Because this is the established and well known service that’s associated with the RF and that many of the family attends. One which William attended for decades.

Everything she does seems like fluff and waffle. I’m really not in the slightest interested in her wandering about the hills. Can’t believe people like this vacuous shite

It seems you have zero indication of what events they attend and don’t attend. Thank you for confirming that for me 🥰

Because he is the future monarch. In all honestly, I wouldn’t be suprised if he became king in the next few years. It’s important that he involves himself with these events.
