The Princess of Wales has only done one event this week, which was attending the enthronement of the new Archbishop of Canterbury. That was on Wednesday and it was literally the only thing on her schedule since the Nigerian state visit last week. My point? Princess Kate is already over her grueling 2026 schedule of “one or two events a week.” She needs a big break, and she’s getting one. The Wales kids’ spring break apparently starts today, meaning no one will see Prince William or Kate for the next month. From Hello:
The Prince and Princess of Wales have had a busy few weeks with plenty of engagements, with William visiting a military base on Thursday. But royal fans are now going to have to wait a few weeks before the pair are sighted again.
The royal couple will be spending the next few weeks with their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis once they break up from Lambrook School.
The royal trio are due to break up from their school on Friday, and William and Kate don’t have any engagements scheduled for the rest of the week. The family often disappear over Easter, and last year, they headed to their Norfolk abode, Anmer Hall.
The family were absent from the traditional royal church service held in Windsor, instead heading to a service held at St Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham. The royal family previously attended the service annually, but it was missed in 2020 and 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic, and also in 2024, due to Kate’s cancer diagnosis.
Both William and Kate carried out several engagements this week, with the pair in Canterbury on Wednesday as they marked the installation of Dame Sarah Mullally as the new Archbishop of Canterbury. The Waleses smiled and clapped along with the 2,000-strong congregation as those gathered for the historic service erupted with applause after Dame Sarah was formally enthroned.
Although the couple had no active role in the ceremony, they listened intently to the first sermon by the new Archbishop, in which she spoke of her hopes for peace in the Middle East, and acknowledged failures on safeguarding in the church.
I love how they make it sound like “smiling and clapping” is “work.” The next big question is: will the Wales family bother to put in an appearance at church on Easter Sunday, which is two Sundays from now? They didn’t join the rest of the Windsors at church on Easter last year, reportedly because “Quiet Faith” Peggington didn’t want to share a church with his degenerate uncle Prince Andrew. Now that Andrew has been unroyaled and he’s actually living in Norfolk, will William and Kate travel to Windsor to join King Charles for Easter there? Or will they stay in Norfolk yet again, now just a short distance away from Andrew?
As for William and Kate’s pitiful work schedule, I would imagine that they’ll make an effort to be seen doing *something* right around Prince Harry and Meghan’s trip to Australia. Just FYI: William is going to launch another hate campaign against H&M to coincide with their Oz trip too. Prepare yourselves and know it when you see it. What will it be this time? Another chapter of “Meghan bullied people by looking at them?” Or maybe “the Sussexes are broke, that’s why they’re donating to Australian charities!”

Oh, so that’s why she skipped yesterday’s Thursdays at Work–she was home packing the kids. Plus sitting in a church pew for an hour or two on Wednesday was grueling.
Probably going to Mustique with the Middletons
You can bet your bottom dollar that’s where KM will be. If not Mustique, then somewhere similarly exotic with her debtor mother.
W, the £23m per annum man, may or may not go to a villa nearby, to “share” a vacation with his kids.
Or it could be boring old Norfolk dodging Uncle Andrew. Wonder where awful Uncle Gary vacations these days, he’s gone very quiet.
What an absolute shower they all are.
If they miss Easter at Windsor after all the briefings about William and religion this week… That’s a choice
This is a good point!
Very good point.
I bet they’ve got recorded content. Maybe an event that was done privately and recorded that they’ll release during their vacation.
They always do. Look and listen, here’s something about Willy meeting with a homeless person three weeks ago!
@Jais and @Me At Home – well if they do, the press must really slam them for it.
Enough. Start walking the walk, after talking the talk.
These two are pitiful. I don’t know how they can go to these engagements and meet people who are working and trying to survive and pretend to empathize with how hard it can be, as they work twice a week for an hour tops and are chauffeured to and from in helicopters and Range Rovers.
Also, why do they have to have the entire time off that their kids are on break? The kids don’t have to go on vacation every single time that they’re out of school. They never can just stay at home, watch movies, do stuff around the house, enjoy the nature that is the 150 acres of private land that their mom has secured for them? Stay in one of their numerous homes within England or Scotland? I just can’t believe that any other parents are taking off every single time that their kids are on term break, for the entire term, regardless of their financial status.
Good points! And might I add just because the kids are on a break does that mean they need to be around them from the minute they wake up to the minute they go to sleep. This farce of them getting the same time off as the kids needs to come to greater attention like the school run excuse getting the side eye.
Lordy the language! Busy few weeks – hmm ok chauffeurs and going to a dinner. SEVERAL engagements this week. 1 for Kate, 2 for willy. Do they add them together to get several? The water these rags carry for the lazy two.
They have an interesting way of counting events. Maybe the meet & greet outside the church was one, processing in was two, listening intently was three, saying goodbye was four? 🤷♀️
I think three is only a few. Need at least four to use the word several. So even put together, they didn’t do several.
They may be counting walking to and from their limo, waving to the onlookers and shaking hands with their greeters as engagements. Nothing would surprise me at this point.
I like how Hello says that William and Kate carried out several engagements this when all they did was go to the installation of the new Archbishop and William met with some soldiers. I wish my week was so busy as theirs. I think if they don’t go to Windsor for Easter they will make sure to be seen going to church in Sandringham.
Well those two have worked their jazz hand fingers to the bone and they are taking a much needed vacation (NOT)!! To be honest I need a break (TRUE) from seeing the we are such a fun loving couple with charm that oozes out of us bullshit campaign!!
Can we just stop calling nodding and smiling, going to church and listening, visiting a shopping center, or greeting members of the military, work? The monarchy is such a joke.
Britain needs to have a conversation with itself about what constitutes “royal work.” The late Queen used to believe that being seen was being believed. Also, when she went out to meet the proles, it actually did seem to mean something to the people she met. (Of course, the Waleses are so boring that fewer and fewer people bother to come out to meet them, but that’s a slightly different discussion.)
If “meaningful work” is the goal, then we’ll get more performative garbage like Earthshot, Aaahly Yaahs (has Kate done a single thing with that so far in 2026?), and William’s hypocritical homelessness initiative. Not sure that’s better, and in some respects it’s a lot worse.
People are judged by their appearance, and in one of the top pix above – and as someone else on here cleverly commented days ago -W&K standing in the wings at the march-past for the Nigerian President & First Lady W&K look like the butler and cabin hostess from the Nigerians’ flight over.
Truly they do
They drop in for 20 minutes on hard working military, NHS staff, educators and charity workers and SHINE THEIR ROYAL MAGIC upon grateful peasants who are expected to feel blessed by their presence!?
It’s what they call “listening and learning” while contributing nothing and yet, calling it work!
“Both William and Kate carried out several engagements this week”…several? Are they serious? Kate had only one and William two. I can’t believe the gaslighting we are getting.
To be fair, the word several means more than two but not many, and together William and Kate did three engagements, which is technically several.
Not to be pedantic but actually, no. From my English lessons years ago, “several” means at least 4, because “a few” means 2 to 3 (usually 3, because “a couple” means 2).
This happens every year – W&K front-load a lot (for them) engagements in the first quarter of the year, then they coast the rest of the year once the spring/Easter break hits. That way the press can say what a busy (for them) schedule they’ve had this year when it’s actually just the first 2-3 months. Then it’s just hitting their usual events, Trooping, Wimbledon, this year Will at the World Cup matches, a few more long vacations, maybe an event in the fall for Remembrance Day (big maybe on Will’s end..), and then the Christmas concert and Christmas Day. And then they repeat with more events in the first quarter of 2027 before calling it in once more.
The issue is that even their front-loading time period isn’t much of a load.
It would be laughable, if they weren’t getting paid millions for absolutely nothing.
Don’t they ever get bored doing nothing?? Vacations are great because vacations are supposed to be special, not routine.
They are raising their kids to expect life to be mostly fun, not about responsibilities and duty.
I ask the same thing all the time, and what do they do all day? I enjoy my days off and my longer vacations, because I actually put in a lot of work. So it’s nice when I don’t have to work a 9 or 10 hour day or when I can have five or six continuous days off. Their work week is everyone else’s weekend, how are they not bored out of their minds?
Outside of the financial aspect, when I was laid off for the only time in my life during the financial crisis of 2008/2009 I wanted to go back to work because I was bored to death. There’s only so many movies, and books you can read before being at home day in day out without any other human interaction starts to get to you.
Yeah, they don’t have to worry about finances. But you’d think boredom would be a factor.
Then again, they’re so shallow — it’s not as if they need intellectual stimulation or challenge.
They couldn’t survive if they had to live like ordinary Brits, scrambling for child care, paying bills, balancing work and family responsibilities. They’d crumble.
What will be their excuse when the kids are grown & out of school – no school runs or summer breaks. Love how they show up at people’s workplaces, watching them work & then pretending to make a cup of coffee like it’s some kind of hilarious joke. These two are the worst deplorables. But, that’s what the Royal rota deserves after driving out the hard working ones. Their “reporting” and W&K’s work ethic are a complete farce. The emperor is wearing no clothes but they’re too scared to call it out.
Well, eventually there might be grandchildren and the whole farce will probably start again. 🤷♀️
We’ll get endless “articles” about how Granny Kate is preparing the next generation of royals. It’s going to be f*cking insufferable, and it hasn’t even started yet.
Why is the press always referring to Kate’s disappearance episode as “Kate’s cancer diagnosis?” It’s as if she never progressed to actually suffering from it, and suffering from cancer treatment.
Interesting catch, @tamsin 🤔
I think it’s their way of reminding Peg and Buttons that they know the truth wasn’t told at any point during her disappearance.
Or they don’t know what to call it because all we were told about was the diagnosis, everything else was kept ‘private’.
They did not go to Anmer Hall last year. The kids’ break is nearly a month long. They went skiing in France, then toured Paris, then William went to a soccer or rugby match in Paris, then we were told they went to church on Easter Sunday at Sandringham with no proof or pictures. The propaganda never ceases.
Didn’t we see wigless Katie Keen apres ski on the balcony of some villa in the French Alps? If I remember, there was talk of Carole seen along for the ride to ‘take care of Kate’!
Kate was wearing a ski suit, so obviously not in need of care.
Vacation from what exactly? They don’t do one iota of real work or real charity. Their existance and “purpose” becomes more farcical by the day and their lies more loathsome.
Well if their 1 engagement of going to church fora couple of hours counts as doing several work things this week, then I need a vacation now . I already did about 6 jobs this morning alone . If only I was as hard working as the do nothings maybe then I too could be on vacation every 6 weeks when my children are in theirs . Can you imagine what their kingship will be like with them on vacation all the time . These 2 are a f-ing joke and I resent the media lying in my face about how hard working and dedicated they are to duty . Actually they are extremely dedicated to the duty of vacations
At this point their vacations are like work because they are off more than they are productive. Their lives must be so boring and unfulfilling. The media should have held their feet to the fire over the lies that they are involved parents and all that school run nonsense. The kids react like they are delighted to see Willy because they haven’t seen him in ages and seem uneasy around Keener whenever they are in public. George seems uncomfortable, Charlotte is treated like a mini mother and Louis seems like a normal, loud kid. (Kids who obsessively behave/parent their siblings tend to have ab#sive backgrounds). Body language doesn’t lie. That family isn’t ending the cycle of Windsor generational trauma this generation. It isn’t normal for both parents to refuse to work every single day their kids are out of school especially when the parents have dozens of staff, including nannies. The Wails need snapped back to reality and a dose of how the other 99.99% live.
Truly, these people and their children were always going to have fabulous lives. Why do they appear so *miserable*??? I had family holidays but more importantly since I was 12 at sleep away camp, solo holidays. Getting to travel to other countries was a life-changing opportunity for which I was miraculously selected, by no force greater than good luck. If WanK were taking their kids to Greece to learn about ancient civilisation with a few days on the beach as a bonus, great. Or Italy, to visit museums, and epic architecture, with a few days by the sea or in the mountains? Great. Or skiing? It’s a sport. Break out the French if you’re in Courchevel. Practice whilst ordering omelettes. Whatevs. But *enjoy* it. FFS. What else is the point????
Is William’s quiet faith going to mean he skips Easter again this year?
There has been some pushback on that PR so he may show up.
Also, remember when William and Kate ran so late for Easter service they showed up after the Queen, against protocol, and she said fuck it and went in before them. Similar to the mess at coronation.
(Kids weren’t with them either)
What is a “quiet faith”?
Ha! Will the embiggening never cease! This part: ‘Both William and Kate carried out several engagements this week, with the pair in Canterbury on Wednesday as they marked the installation of Dame Sarah Mullally as the new Archbishop of Canterbury.’
How is that several engagements?!? And then they follow it up with this!: ‘Although the couple had no active role in the ceremony, they listened intently….’
Oh, my stars! They listened intently, y’all! Dayum, no wonder they need a holiday!
You’d think WanK would be embarrassed by this fawning nonsense. FFS, they’re being praised for “listening intently”. How are they not appalled that the bar is set so damn low for them? Are they really so basic they don’t realize that this a lame look?
Their kingship is gonna be a hoot. And a huge fail.
I can’t help feeling that some Rota people, while being asked by their editors to write positive stories on W&K, are having some fun with subtle shade.
“Although the couple had no active role in the ceremony, they listened intently”… seems more shade than praise. I mean… it’s too ridiculous a compliment to actually BE a compliment, no ?
Easter break in Spain or the Canaries is a massive cultural institution in England. After a long and rainy winter loads of families get out of the country as fast as possible, so WanK aren’t that different. Except most people actually work for a living.
My rather odd thoughts on this massive groveling piece is to cover their butts. The Toxic Two are going into hiding (school holidays be damned) because people are questioning where the money that Mr Wails got his grubby hands on from Epstein is even though their paid press lackeys are trying to divert attention from it.
What the late Queen knew, King Charles and the Wails knew (and did nothing) especially when Mrs Wails protested her disdain. They are up to their scrawny necks in this.
Next on my list is their abysmal work ethic which should now be tackled by Removing their cut of the Sovereign Grant, closing their access to grace and favor forever homes, and as it is in the power of the King – Remove the Toxic Wails Two from the succession. Mr Wails is not chosen or annointed by God, this blathering idiot was born into a group of people who think they Rule by divine right. Stuff that for a joke.
The Toxic Two are not fooling anyone, and there is a long way to the Throne. Their pampered offspring are learning how to do little, fleece the public purse, then be able to get away with it.
Put the lot on permanent holiday by abolishing the monarchy and I swear to the God’s above even though I was born into and live in a Commonwealth Country, Mr and Mrs Wails will never rule in my name.
They are just taking the piss and any allegiance to these idiots is as hollow as they are.
It is obvious that no love has been lost between this couple. They are so irritating. No wonder charles and his horse relegate them to the kiddy’s stage. They are two useless adults.
