William denounced as "workshy" due to lack of royal engagements he performs

[SpaEnjoyer]

I read this article in the DM which was originally brought to my attention by my MIL, who has a very keen interest in goings-on involving the RF.

'His absences have not gone unnoticed': Norman Baker asks when 'workshy William' is going to step up https://mol.im/a/15908021

I must admit I was surprised to learn that William has attended fewer events than KC and Anne over the last 3 years. I agree with the sentiment that he needs to step up to ease the burden on his father.

I’m sure the recipients of the prize worth £1m would not share your description of “vanity project”.

So it was all your wondering and imagination?

@Silverwombat It’s quite infuriating the way she is made to have had this tough battle, when it was preventative treatment she had, at no point was she at deaths door or facing a terminal diagnosis. All the fawning fans love the poor Kate she’s had it so hard, it’s insulting to those who have had terrible times.
I hope your wee one is doing well 🌸

For many of us, traditional ways of working changed dramatically following covid and we continue now as hybrid workers having developed successful ways of agile working. William is a modern working royal and a hybrid worker, just like a proportion of the population are

Wow 😆😆

No, I reversed his switch but the implication at the time he couldn't hack the original course and switched to something easier.

Not sure how that's my imagination as it was well documented at the time.

It was all very “This one time, at band camp.” So not exactly clear what you are trying to say.

You ran around with twits that couldn’t get into Oxbridge so therefore someone else must not have been able to hack their initial selection and switched but you don’t think he deserved his grades. Got it.

Suggest you work on you reading comprehension if you really can't understand. Otherwise you're just looking for an argument and that's too boring to engage with.

There’s nothing to argue about. You’re grasping at straws based on misremembered info and personal anecdotes in order to support a narrative that someone else lacks intelligence.

This is totally false! He graduated with a 2.1 !
why make up rubbish?

It’s like Jackanory on here.

And the royals dont have a history of getting into universities with much lower grades than most people would need? Do you think they suddenly get cleverer when they are there? And do you really think there isn't pressure to give them an easy ride when it comes to grading? At a similar university, geography was notorious for including some easier options beloved by posh types who were not the sharpest. Theres no reason to think St. Andrews would be any different. And it's incontrovertible that he switched courses because of "failure to adjust" to the demands of his original course- ie he couldn't manage it.

What on earth is this long winded word salad about?
you were wrong, admit it , stop making up stories to fit your narrative!

That's the daily mail for you.
I ain't a royalist but if William sticks it out, he can't retire and will be in the saddle till he drops.
He is wise to take it easy now.

Succinctly put ! 👏

What are you hoping to prove with all this “don’t you think” kind of logic?

That William isn’t intelligent enough to work?

Do you have a job? Have you been in the world? Stupid people exist everywhere and even hold down jobs! So even if he were a blathering idiot (and there is zero evidence of this and plenty to contrary) that would not preclude him actually managing projects, making decisions, etc.

And what someone did 20 years ago at uni has fuck all to do with their capability and success today.

You sound really spiteful about people who do geography degrees. Did you have a bad break up
with a geography student?

I have to reverse course now. Down with geography students. My worst break up ever!! This just reminded me.

Why would I defend them?

Now , now ! We have no idea whether this person went to uni or even mixed with uni students!

So you were saying he switched to art history because he couldn’t hack geography, but now you’re saying he switched to geography because it’s easier than art history? And that being allowed to change courses (which happens a lot) was special treatment and he didn’t deserve the grade he got?

I changed course at university ( over 40 years ago) when hardly anyone when to university, because I realised I was on the wrong course for me. My dc the same. My housemate also. We were all really well supported at doing so.

I didn’t realise we switched courses, because we were thick. My housemate to something to do with science- she ended up very high up in her field.

Something somewhere, is going on, as a lot of odd threads at the moment on these boards.

He seems to go to all the sporting events.

Waiting for a thread entitled William is smelly and dresses badly at this point.

The sporting events where he is Patron and got criticised when he didn't attend? He really can't win.

👏

🤣🤣🤣 It’s pretty desperate, isn’t it.
