Comments

  • Give it to the Duchy of Cornwall I say.
  • Trevor Brooking or Lord Llewellyn 
  • The person who is best at doing FA. 
  • Sam Billings!
  • It’s always a Royal, can’t see that changing until William becomes King

    Yes, with Kate playing a key role as well.

    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.
  • Give it to Harry, might spice things up a bit.
  • If the LBTQBHFECBMNXAZ community is not included then I am sure someone will be offended...
  • 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.
    Perhaps Spain’s Queen Letizia & her daughter got the last room at the Premier Inn 🤷🏻‍♂️😉

    Weird comment

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

    And get blasted for talking about the climate but shooting off for a trip to Oz for a single game.

    Lose lose.
    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.

    You know he would have attended the mens WC final how?
  • 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 fuck

    If you say so. What's the official reason given, apart from him being on holiday.

    An assumption, but one I think is fair. 

    Do the job properly, or give it to someone who can. 
  • 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.

    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…
