Someone who can be arsed to turn up to games. Disgusting to see no one bother for the WWC Final.

I've not really read much about this but are we saying William should have attended the final?
If so, is it possible to arrange a visit by the next in line to the throne in a few days? Royal tours and visits are planned months in advance what with security etc. Perhaps he should have been booked into the Premier Inn at Sydney Harbour and taken a mate along to look after him and been booked on a Garuda flight too.
Not even a story in my opinion.8 - Sponsored links:

Yes, with Kate playing a key role as well.Chizz said:Should the Prince of Wales continue to be the President of the Football Association in England?
If the relevant associations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland (as well as Australia, Canada, New Zealand etc). Also want him as President, then no issue there either.0 -
Give it to Harry, might spice things up a bit.2

Perhaps Spain’s Queen Letizia & her daughter got the last room at the Premier Inn 🤷🏻♂️😉LargeAddick said:I've not really read much about this but are we saying William should have attended the final?

And get blasted for talking about the climate but shooting off for a trip to Oz for a single game.Stu_of_Kunming said:Someone who can be arsed to turn up to games. Disgusting to see no one bother for the WWC Final.

Are there not plenty of tree playing schemes etc set up to offset things like flights? If it was the mens WC final he would have been there, so it’s a shame no one thought the woman’s team was worth the effort.WSS said:

If he wanted to fly he could have, if he wanted a room he would have stayed at the Governor Generals or Ambassadors residence, he didn't go because he didn't give a fuck0

Lose lose.Do the job properly, or give it to someone who can.3 -
It was a mistake, whatever the reason. It gave the impression that women's football is less important for him than men's. Plus there's the question of " duty", which is the whole point of Royals.1

Personally I think he was ill advised on this even if he didn’t fancy going. Anytime he wants to rock up at another event now he is going to get grief about that being more important than the women’s football team reaching the World Cup final; and
Notwithstanding that, he should have done the decent thing and gone and sent his brother a selfie from the stadium…
