Prince William was out and about on Tuesday, because of course he was! He’s very busy and important, even if literally every royal reporter was twelve miles away covering his brother’s every move! Pay attention to meeee, William cried. London is mine, Harold!!
William was obviously doing the same thing the rest of his family are doing this week: emotional-support busywork to prove to themselves that they are busy and important and have no time to see Prince Harry while he’s in town. William stopped by the London Welsh School (aka Ysgol Gymraeg Llundain) and he truly looked like he had no idea what he was actually doing there. Allegedly, he was joining the students as they wished good luck to Team Wales in the Commonwealth Games. This is literally the first I’m hearing of the Commonwealth Games happening this month, btw. They’re scheduled for July 23-August 2 in Scotland.
The Prince of Wales played bowls with children at a Welsh-language school on Tuesday. The Prince seemed in high spirits as he joined pupils and a handful of athletes from the forthcoming Commonwealth Games in Hanwell, west London.
At the same time, some 12 miles across the capital, the Prince’s estranged younger brother was dealt a legal blow when he learned that he had lost his high-profile £50m privacy claim against the publisher of The Daily Mail.
The Duke of Sussex, 41, was speaking about his Invictus Games at Chatham Houseon Tuesday afternoon when the news broke, while his older brother went to an engagement in west London. The 44-year-old Prince of Wales joined the schoolchildren at Ysgol Gymraeg Llundain, a bilingual Welsh-English primary school for three to 11-year-olds, and athletes from the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games.
In a huddle in the school’s playground, he said: “Hopefully England win the World Cup, and then it will be a great festival of sport going on in the summer for the Commonwealth Games, so it could roll into being an amazing summer.”
The Prince, who quipped that he would love to be “in a swimming pool” on another hot day in the capital, added that he looked forward to the team winning “a number of golds”.
Just a reminder that William and Kate’s Forest Lodge “forever home” has neither a pool nor tennis courts, which likely hurts their souls. How could they actually live forever in a home without a pool? Without a tennis court?? As for the World Cup – a few months ago, sources close to William said he would only come to North America to watch the WC in person if England made the quarterfinals or better. Well, England is in the quarters and they’re playing Norway on Saturday. Do you think ol’ Workshy Willy will make it to Miami? That’s where it’s happening. But… but… the busywork! Wimbledon! How would he manage??
