It’s weird how Will and Kate show up empty handed to the food bank and the baby bank, but can bring pizza to a rugby team. Not a good look imo.

They're at a point where they're going to be picked apart no matter what they do or don't do.
Kate is once again carrying more than her husband and that makes me laugh.

But they all should be picked apart M&H included. They can’t sit there and promote charity work to the citizens and it being the whole coronation thing while showing up empty handed to a charity. Yes they are bringing awareness but at some point put your money where your mouth is. They could be donating money sure that we never know about but for a family that relies on optics it isn’t good. Also maybe it’s a me thing because they get credit for the bare minimum Also yes I laughed out loud to see her carrying more than him

Ha, I read it the same way. Only took me a minute, but I was feeling quite startled in that moment.

Every time.

They all have the worst PR people but at the same time they probably would just fire the people who actually gave them good PR because they are so out of touch

Is amusing really the right word to use here? 🤔 Odd and antiquated perhaps?

They all have the worst PR people but at the same time they probably would just fire the people who actually gave them good PR because they are so out of touch Well, in all honesty, money is better because the organization will be able to address their highest priority needs. Like if Kate rocks up with a pallet of diapers, someone will complain that she should have brought formula. Food pantry with pasta and canned vegetables? What about protein!?!? Even if their PR team asks "hey we'd love to bring things to the visit on Tuesday, what's best for you?" it'll be picked apart. And it would probably be called performative. It's not a life I'd want to live, for sure.

It's not a life I'd want to live, for sure. I’m saying do both. I don’t know if they donate money to these places. They should but even if they did they should not show up empty handed. And of course now it will be seen performative by some and of course people would have issues but it still would look much better than showing up empty handed wearing thousand dollar outfits while telling the country to give to charity. I know I’m preaching to the choir I just think they can do more

And again for the record I’m glad these organizations are getting recognition and if it gets one person to help them then it’s a good thing.

Some of the content about Wills’ hacked voicemails have been released (from when he and Kate were dating). They are as humdrum as one might expect, although the flak Harry got for poking fun at Will balding (never mind he poked fun at his own balding in Spare) is ironic considering Will’s ginger comments in the vms.
1. Prince William had pet names for Kate: The Prince referred to his now-wife as "honey," "baby" and most notably, "babykins." "My head's all right. I've just picked up your message. Oh, my little babykins! I hope you are all right," he said to her. "I just tried ringing you but I do not think you would pick it up because it is 5:35 a.m. in the morning so it is probably not a very good time to ring you. I hope you are all right."
2. Prince William was almost shot: "Hi baby. Um, sorry, I've just got back in off my night navigation exercise. I had a busy day today again," he told Kate. "I've been running around the woods of Aldershot chasing shadows and getting horribly lost, and I walked into some other regiment's ambush, which was slightly embarrassing because I nearly got shot. Not by live rounds but by blank rounds, which would have been very embarrassing, though."
3. Prince William mocked Harry's ex: In a voicemail on Prince Harry's cellphone, The Duke of Cambridge posed as his then-girlfriend, Chelsy Davy, and called him a "ginger" repeatedly. "Hi, it's Chelsy here. I just want to say I miss you so much and I think you are the best-looking ginger I have ever seen, although you really are quite ugly for a ginger," he said. "Hope you are having a lovely time. I really miss you. It is lovely out here in Africa and hopefully I will see you very soon, you big hairy fat ginger."
4. Prince William is considerate of Kate's schedule: Though Prince William had "a nightmare day," his main concern seemed to be making sure he could be with Kate as soon as possible. "Crack on with what you have got to do and don't worry about me," he told her. "I will give you a buzz later. I always thought you were going to the gym. Hopefully I can come and see you. I will give you an update. Planning on definitely coming out, hopefully by sevenish, so I will be with you by quarter to eight at the latest. Hope that's all right, baby. I can't wait to see you."
5. Prince William really loves to hunt: Even though he told Kate that he was feeling "s--y" he said he planned to spend the day "beagling," or hunting with beagles. His plan for afterward, naturally, was to come see his love. "So if you are around at home this evening I would love to see you. Let me know," he said. "Give me a text or ring back. I am around about the rest of the day."

I've seen them getting shit talked on Twitter because the pizzas at the rugby club were too small/not enough. Meghan very thoughtfully brought homemade banana bread with her to an appearance. If Kate brought a loaf of banana bread they'd say she should have brought more. There's a double standard and I don't like that I'm caping for rich lazy people but Mercury is in retrograde so anything is possible.

Why is Tom Cruise a headliner for a concert? Does he sing? Is he just going to stand there and wave?

Does he have any British celebrities yet? I know quite a few turned him down initially, but has anyone signed on yet?

It is kind of funny to think about Kate rolling up to an event with a box of single symbolic package of Pampers. Open that Wales checkbook for sure.

It's like a week and a half away and I doubt she's actually doing anything for it besides showing up. Isn't "keep calm and carry on" a British saying? She's literally going to just be sitting during it, much like she's doing on that saddle. (I know she's actually working doing the riding stuff)
