A more relevant question is, why are you so obviously miffed by who LT likes?

Opinions are opinions, whether anyone in the public eye would help us out in the unlikely event they were ever around if we were in crises is irrelevant

Kate said that every time they toured William got worried because she got broody and wanted another baby.

Extract of Williams end of tour statement.

In his end of tour statement, William said that while he was ‘committed to service’, that involved ‘not telling people what to do’.

‘It is about serving and supporting them in whatever way they think best, by using the platform we are lucky to have.'

The Duke added: ‘Foreign tours are an opportunity to reflect. You learn so much. What is on the minds of Prime Ministers. The hopes and ambitions of school children. The day-to-day challenges faced by families and communities.
‘I know that this tour has brought into even sharper focus questions about the past and the future. ‘In Belize, Jamaica and The Bahamas, that future is for the people to decide upon.
‘But we have thoroughly enjoyed spending time with communities in all three countries, understanding more about the issues that matter most to them.’

A senior royal insider indicated that William’s statement indicated the 39-year-old Prince was ‘coming of age’.
‘He was showing that he understands that it can’t be taken for granted that he will lead the Commonwealth – you serve as long as the people want you to serve, you listen, accept their choices and change if you need to.
‘This is about a modern Monarchy.’
The Telegraph

If only Diana had been alive to see her boy develop into this very impressive man.

You go William! He gave notice of this when he broke the tradition of saying nothing when he made the ‘we are very much not a racist family’ retort to a rude reporter’s question.

"William believes that saying nothing is the right path in less contentious issues; but if he feels it is appropriate he will not let very damaging untruths be left uncontested” says a senior Palace source."

There's awkwardness , and alot of the photo's feel forced.

Robert Hardman. Daily Mail
We live in an age where the Twitter-driven battalions of the perpetually offended are constantly seeking their next grievance. And here was a gem. They could actually take offence – at a fence.
Privileged white royal tourists shielded from the black children of Trench Town? ‘Outrageous’/ ‘colonial’ etc.

Except, I have spoken to some of those who were actually on the spot. The scene was nothing of the sort.

The fence has been there for years, helping to keep spectators off the pitch but also keeping balls and children from spilling out on to the adjacent road. A big crowd had gathered to view the celebrity visit and they were yelling at the Cambridges to come across for a chat.
The ‘colonial’ response would actually have been to ignore these uninvited crowds. Instead, the couple went over – and then went round to the other side of the fence on their way out where they were mobbed once again.

This is our world today; lies proven to be so and distortion of facts become widespread ‘accepted dishonesty’ to suit those with an agenda.

From the small town I come from, I know 12 catholic rangers supporters

I love this forum's ability to argue with straight-up facts . I don't really feel any need to prove myself, come to Glasgow on Old Firm day... or anywhere in Ayrshire on the 12th of July.

I grew up in a small Ayrshire town heavily embroiled in the Masonic Lodge. I spend half of my teens kicking around Glasgow. My dad is Catholic, his dad was Protestant, my mum's parents were hardcore Church of Scotland and flag-waving Royalists complete with Royal Wedding Collectible Plates on the wall.

My wife is Catholic, her maternal grandparents were all Irish Catholic and her paternal grandad was a masonic lodge protestant - that's in the North of England - it's completely different in Scotland and the Old Firm is heavily, heavily interwoven with loyalists/royalists and sectarianism.

This is just ... stone cold fact. I lived it my entire childhood .

I totally disagree.
In the vast majority of the photos they are smiling, laughing and looking very relaxed....and Kate looked radiant.
