When Prince Harry traveled to Japan and Singapore, the Windsors were furiously trying to pull focus from him. Hilariously, all they had was “maybe William and Kate will tweet on QEII’s death-anniversary.” Over the course of a week, a “memorial tweet” was upgraded to “no, Will and Kate will actually carry out an event, and make their first public appearance in months!” My theory was that the British media wanted King Charles to make a big deal about the first death-anniversary and actually hold some big family memorial in Scotland or something like that. The king said no, but I’ll send out my heir and his button-slathered wife to make asses out of themselves. Well, Kensington Palace has confirmed the itinerary for Peg & Buttons Death Anniversary Escapade. They’re going to Wales.
On September 8, the Prince and Princess of Wales will lead tributes to the late Queen Elizabeth at St David’s Cathedral. Princess Kate and Prince William are set to visit St David’s Cathedral in south Wales to mark the one-year anniversary of the death of Queen Elizabeth on September 8.
During the poignant visit it is understood they will lead tributes to the late monarch, before visiting communities in the region as they return to royal work following their summer holiday.
Sources have told the Mirror that William will pay homage to his grandmother’s life and legacy but his message will also “look to the future”.
Although he will not directly address the cathedral’s congregation, William and Kate will be shown around ancient church in St David’s, which is also the smallest city in the UK.
A source said: “It will be an emotional day for all the Royal Family, as well as many people across Britain, recognising this date. But of course for others it will be just another day and life goes on.”
Royal insiders suggested that William and Kate wanted to mark the occasion in Wales, as they have only visited three times in the last year, since they gained their new titles.
“But of course for others it will be just another day and life goes on” – what kind of messaging is this from KP? Lordy. Once again, it would have been a relatively easy win, but they managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. All Will and Kate have to do is show up somewhere, look appropriately somber and then they can go back to their separate homes and separate vacations. Instead, Kate is preparing her Mourning Wiglet™ and Somber Buttons™ and they’ll mope around Wales and hope they don’t get booed. Notably, the few times they have visited Wales in the past year, those events are heavily stage-managed.

These two exhaust me and I haven’t even seen them yet .
I feel your pain 🤣reading that Daily Express article knocked the wind out of me 🤣🤣 these two people need a restart.
Wait…how will “his message look to the future” since it says in the very next sentence that he will not be directly addressing the congregation, and he’s just getting a tour? What “message” are they even referring to? These people can’t even write a coherent article, fgs.
I truly hope he gives his message for the future, because that will be hysterical!
Spoiler alert, England: More of the same.
By looking at the past 90 some-odd years, that his grandmother lived and ruled them, they are commemorating the past. But they also want to claim that they’re looking at the future at the same time. What these weathervanes are really trying to do is to harken back to feelings of nostalgia people had about their granny in order to distract from their current woes and turn the page from uncomfortable stories. The question is will there be some commemorative ass-grabbing from Kate too? I hear that church is the best place for it with these people.
LOL!
Go get ’em Cymru. Diolch am fawr 🙂
In all seriousness this seems like an, er, interesting choice of venue – the #notmymonarchy isn’t particularly popular on that side of the border. & increasingly less popular this side of the border too.
Excellent!
I guess they don’t expect to be booed in the church though. I can see them going in the back door.
Oh no ,it has been so nice not seeing their miserable faces together for a few months .
Wales? They are going to Wales? I would have thought Scotland would be the place because the Queen loved it there. I guess they decided to kill two birds with one stone. Visit Wales which they have been neglecting and do something for the Queen all at once. Leave it to them to pad their calendars twice with one outing.
It feels like they’re going to Wales less as a commemoration of the Queen and more as a celebration of the day they got their new titles (I know they got them the day after but close enough.) Maybe just a celebration of their access to the Cornwall duchy.
@Becks: That’s the only way this makes any sense.
I strongly believe KP created a public event for Will and Kate (using the death anniversary) because Harry will be in England to attend a public event – WellChild Awards – for a charity he has supported and been the patron of for 15 years.
William continues to try to compete with Harry. Harry is not competing.
MSTJ: The press had hoped that Harry would be in the UK after Invictus not before. The only reason there was a memorial for Philip last year was because the press wanted it which is probably why Harry didn’t not attend. This is not about any competition with Harry but the press wanting a public event to commemorate the Queen’s death. It’s clear that Charles refused to participate and William and Kate were told that they have to do this event.
If Covid had not significantly restricted the amount of people who could attend Philip’s funeral, I wonder if there would have been such a formal memorial in the first place.
When the actual funeral of the monarch is so public, making a thing out of memorials is more about William and Kate tying themselves to the popularity of the late Queen than any serious mourning. After all they were practically joyous immediately after her death, especially Kate. Driving around in her pearls, wearing all the jewels she could grab. Smiling away at a funeral walkabout.
Also putting this in Wales is a two for one because it adds another engagement in Wales when they have done so few of them.
It appears that all the Windsors run away when Harry comes to Britain. Charles ran to Romania on the last go-round. Now, Harry is coming and Chuck will be in Scotland and WanK will run off to Wales. What a bunch of cowards!
@Becks, excellent point!
Like @Nic919, I recall the glee with which they attended ceremonies and funeral for the queen, so I don’t get this writer’s statement about the royals holding a ceremony a year later to look appropriately somber now.
Probably why neither of them will be addressing the congregation or making public remarks – they won’t be able to keep a straight face for more than a few minutes. Hey, remember that day when we got these titles? Pretty great, right? And now, we’re back and ready to bask in your adulation!
I wonder which piece of QEII’S jewelry Kate will be wearing to “honour” her.
I think the press absolutely wanted Charles to do something, to host some sort of family event in Scotland, mainly so they could write about the Sussexes being snubbed again.
Instead, Charles is spending the day privately like his mother always did so they have to trot out the Waleses, but their event will just serve as a placeholder for the British press between Wellchild and Invictus and tracking every flight from California to London and stalking every possible hotel where Harry may be staying, etc.
Nice little dig though about how they’ve only visited Wales three times in the past year, lol.
@Becks – the thing is “they” didn”t have to trot out the Waleses. It had been confirmed that there wasn’t going to be anything “official” to mark the passing of QEII. This was the Waleses trying to stir up mischief against KCIII. It’s going to backfire on them because as you say the MSM will be trying to find Harry and looking for confirmation that Meghan isn’t with him.
oh to be clear – when I said “they” I meant the press. The press wants a royal appearance that day, so the Waleses are going to give them what they want, maybe hoping the press never says “world cup” again.
And of course the Waleses love the idea of trying to steal the spotlight from Harry and Invictus.
😆 😆 😆 The World Cup will NEVER be forgotten! Seriously, though what you’re saying makes sense. William and Kate owe the MSM big time so, have to dance to their tune. I wonder if William still thinks taking “blood” money from Murdoch was a good idea. 😉
William thinks doing this will make him look better. Meanwhile the actual children of the Queen are going to be private about it. And of course the other grandchildren won’t be public either.
It looks grasping more than anything. And desperate to latch on some of the remaining goodwill the public had for the Queen.
Also, I anticipate that the queen’s death date will be used as the annual return from holidays by William and Kate moving forward.
i think you’re right – Wimbledon will be the start of their holiday, the queen’s death will be the end of it. Works out really well for W&K to have their two month holiday bookended so nicely.
I think we’re seeing the ‘new’ Wales method of doing things, upstaging the king. There’s the video about the coronation prep/arrival, Kate’s competitive flower show event, and now a public display–when no one else in the family is doing such a thing–on the anniversary of The Queen’s death. That’s the new generation folks. Good luck with that, England.
But have they started learning Welsh?
I seriously doubt it. I’ve been trying to learn a bit & I can tell you it’s bloody difficult. & I usually pick up languages pretty easily. So, no, I’d put money on them not knowing many words of Welsh.
God, really, what is this sodding family for – until we get rid of them there’s no way the UK can ever attempt to be a sensible grown-up democracy. This is especially irksome today as a colleague who’s titled has just swanned in & reminded us all how entitled & deluded she is, all because she’s “special”. It’s RIDICULOUS & anachronistic & we need to get rid of them all.
#notmyking #notmymonarchy
It’s been known since the day William was born that he’d be the PoW one day.
So I don’t get why nobody bothered teaching him – nor why he never saw the point in learning it, at least after finishing school. Or after graduating. Or when he started royalling in earnest. Wait, he never did, he’s just lazy, and entitled, and Incandescent.
Or maybe W could have taken up learning Welsh together with George, when he started primary school. That kid will be woefully unprepared too, in addition to being lazy and entitled.
But then most members of the RF aren’t bright, nor linguistically gifted. As long as they get their yearly allowance without being held accountable, things won’t ever improve. And the Men in Grey don’t care about the public image of the RF.
Abolish the monarchy!
Willy won’t make ANY public comments in Wales because he has never bothered to learn the language of the people he “rules”. He’s 40, he could have learned several languages by now – like most European royalty, who are fluent in several languages. Not Willy or Kkkate – they are far too lazy to actually work at learning anything. Hell, Kkkate barely speaks one language
So William wants it to be an EVENT when he chooses to do something.
I don’t know. On one hand he has a point. People will blast him wasting money on trips. On the other hand he gets a nice wage and he doesn’t do anything. Not even behind the scenes.
His grandmother said “I/we/royalty have to be seen to be believed”. In the future the sovereign grant will be reduced due to -lack of effort-.
Considering they just got a 45% RISE, with *fewer* people, and doing way fewer “events”, I somehow do *not* think the SG will reduce. EVER (unless there’s a vote/revolt and they’re ousted).
I still want to know why in the name of all that’s holy are they getting a 45% increase?! They have far fewer people even working! (Well, “working”)
The last line about how they’ve only visited Wales 3 times since their new titles…..shady. They are hoping the fact that they’re commemorating the queen will prevent people from booing. Personally, I hope that’s not the case. Boo away!
No way the Welsh will not boo.
Yeah, the press wanted a memorial service and because Charles refused to do it, here we are with this service in Wales.
You know why they are doing this? The press has them by the b*lls. Charles wasn’t doing it so he fobbed this off on William and Kate. They can’t say no because William is scared sh*tless of the tabloid press. He sold his soul years ago by turning on his brother and now that Harry is gone the spotlight is on him. Can’t sell out his brother to the press anymore. HA HA HA! You know who is his own man? Harry! I love that Harry pays them people dust. Now WanK have to do this shoddy memorial for the Queen. It seems like they threw it together at the last minute. As someone else said how unprofessional.
I’ll say it again: Why does anyone need to publicly commemorate the anniversary of the Queen’s passing? There is a new king. Any public event is a publicity stunt and in terribly poor taste. Charles is doing this right. The Waleses, per usual, are f’ing up.
I don’t think William and Kate want to do this either but this is what the press wants.
I agree. The funeral of the Queen was very public and elaborate. At this point it should be a private thing. And seeing as how the Queen’s actual children and other grandchildren are not going, this seems like a desperate grasp for attention.
Also there is reporting that they will visit an Earthshot company in wales. Which makes this even worse.
“But of course for others it will be just another day and life goes on” – what kind of messaging is this from KP?
I appreciate the honesty that most of us DNGAF about any of this/them and yes, you’re absolutely right @ThatsNotOkay but the press is BORED and desperate for stories/photos/clicks so this has been set up.
Why Wales? Didn’t some of the Welsh have protested they wanted the Prince of Wales title abolished when Charles became king? This “event” looks thrown together to offset the bad press Willie got for noping out of the women’s World Cup final and compete with Harry for supporting Well Child. These people.
This event was rumoured about a month ago. It’s doesn’t have anything to do with William not going to the WWC or Harry. The press wanted a commemoration and this is what KP has come up with. This is about the press yanking William and Kate’s chain.
There is only one couple not yet at balmoral and more than likely arriving separately like they did last year. This is the kind of thing they want the media to not report and so they do this meaningless event.
Oh yeah!!! You are probably right. Wellchild is too close to qe2 death. William can’t let harry be the only one saying something. I still believe he didn’t go to the world cup final be abuse he stormed out if the men cup final when England lost. But going to Wales hits a lot of bases.
This is crazy. William would’ve been a better “spare” to a workaholic king.
I don’t think it would be hard for anybody to guess that Harry would be in London for WellChild. He consistently shows up for them time and time again. He was supposed to be there last year but the queen died. I believe William suspected that Harry would be in the UK for WellChild, just like most people here did, and he wanted to be seen out and about too. He’s just using the queen death to have an excuse to show up after his months long vacation. I think in the years prior, W&K would’ve still been on vacation until the kids went to school.
Agreed, JT. I read an article that said he’s attended 11 WellChild awards, I’m guessing the ones he did not were military/Covid related. Harry consistently shows up, that’s just who he is.
So they’re… going to church? That’s it? That’s the event?
Something they should be doing all the time anyway. How are William and Kate suppose to be the head of the “church of england” in the future. I want to hear Kate speak on a Bible topic. Of the top of her head. No cue cards.
And doing some engagements in Wales after the church service.
Can you explain why they are doing all of this in Wales? The last real attachment she had with Wales was what and when that they would choose it over London or even Balmoral? Charles was Prince of Wales for seven decades prior to her death. William took over the role of Prince of Wales only a year ago and she doesn’t have any real connections to Wales like she does to Scotland. For a public memorial it would seem like they should focus on things or places that are associated to her and not them, similar to how Diana’s statue unveiling was done at KP and her gravesite is intimate and private in the place she grew up. It’s even more confusing if they do in fact use this trip to visit anything associated to Earthflop or their own causes, as someone else mentioned above. It’s sad that other family members are planning to have a more private memorial for her and these two are presumably making it about themselves.
Come on @izzy, did you honestly expect them to actually work, no me neither
This is (as usual) them trying to say, “yes the more charactmasic Harry is doing something fantastic, but look at us in Wales! We are going to church, yes church, with many, many new buttons and a new (made in Wales) wiglet and I, the heir will look really glum (because dads making us cut our holiday short). So listen up all you news papers, if you want more leaks, and more inside sources, you will print pictures of me and only me “! To which a little boy will say to his mum,” William must be really hungry mum because he wants more LEAKS and we have thousands of them here in Wales 😂😂
Also seems like they will visit an Earthshot winner based in Wales.
Cue the wearing of a cross .. oh, wait …
I guess they think people can’t boo them if they’re in church and it’s the Queen’s memorial?
IDK what anti monarchists are planning for this, but as KP says for some people it’s ‘just another day’ so why not protest?
William the coward leaves England when Harry arrives. I’m not sure how walking around a cathedral is ‘leading tributes’. QEII was religious, can the precious Wails not sit through a church service? Fingers will be crossed at KP that this visit will put the World Cup backlash behind them.
£5 says she grabs his ass in church, it will probably be the first time she’s seen him in months so you know she’s going to go all out to get eyes on her.
If any of these people had any integrity, humility and thoughtfulness they would get off their asses and attend a IG event. They can spare a day to show their gratefulness to these men and women who sacrificed everything to serve their country. These brave men and women serving their country is why you royal family(small r because your aren’t royal in the lease) get to live in your palaces and go on your many vacations. They should all be in the stands cheering for these men and women regardless of their feelings about Harry. They show more support to the disgusting tabloids than to the people who serve there country. What a useless family.
Well said, @Angie. Well said.
Don’t forget another fact: they never send congratulations out to the IG vets. Crickets.
There was anti monarchy sentiment during the queen’s mourning period. Remember Betty’s in a Box and booing and slagging off in sport stadiums? And Not My King was shouted loud and proud during Charles’ Scottish “coronation” which was held at a church. Don’t be surprised that bad feeling comes back again, especially after William’s World Cup screw up.
This event seems crass and insincere. What kind of memorial only has two members of the family when the others are going to be private. It’s not going to play the way they think it is. Especially if it’s true that a visit to an Earthshot winner is added.
The Queen for decades didn’t make a thing of her fathers death anniversary and Charles is continuing that tradition. William and Kate doing a look at me I’m next in line visit will just come off poorly.
@Nic919 says:
“This event seems crass and insincere. What kind of memorial only has two members of the family…”
Ooops! Now that youve pointed this out to them, look out for Wont&Cant’s handlers to force poor long-suffering sofiesta and poor eddie to attend. Perhaps beatrice will volunteer, dragging eager-Edoardo with her.
Everything these two do seems crass and insincere. Literally everything.
Can you imagine the contrast between Harry’s compassionate appearance at the Well Child event one night and Invictus starting two days later? Sandwiched in between are the heirs, swanning around a remote cathedral in expensive clothes and wiglets, waving and guffawing? It doesn’t even sound like they are planning a service, just tributes, but still the POW does not plan to address the gathered? Too lazy to go up to the podium and say a few words? Every man I know would have made the effort to craft some type of homage to the one being memorialized. They are so lazy. Superficial. Wastes of space. The peasants have to notice that they let the real future King get away.
Kaiser— I’m loving “Mourning Wiglet tm”and “Somber Buttons tm “. I can’t find the fancy TM tiny writing effect. Anyway, it’s delightful and made me giggle. As good as “gaslighter white” from yesterday! We are all so creative on this site!🤣🤣🤣
But will we get that awful vagina choker again???
@ Cynner, it’s an emoji under the “signs” tab on your phone. ™️ ©️ ®️
So they’re going to lead tributes, but not address the congregation; so how exactly is that leading tributes? I’m confused! I also noted the dig about only visiting Wales three times in the past year. Somebody’s keeping count!
“But of course for others it will be just another day and life goes on” – why the heck did they tack on that sentence? Why just not leave it off?? Agree with K that this is weird and sub-professional
Accidental honestly?
#abolishthemonarchy
Sob, the day means so much more to the RF than to the public so it’s easy for people to go about their day. The EFFORT it’s taking for W&K to make this appearance. People just don’t understand the level of grief the royals are experiencing.🙄
W&K using a dead woman’s popularity to shore up their failing PR. Typical, just like they’ve done with Diana for a decade.
Precisely. they’re doing a public event on this day because they need people to remember Queen Elizabeth II and how much the public loved her and for them to transfer that love to W&K, the way people transferred their love for Diana to Willliam for years and years.
the issue though is that people loved QEII because she showed up, no matter what. Yes she took vacations/breaks but even then she didnt just disappear for two months. There were glimpses of her going to church, driving through the grounds of balmoral, riding her horse around sandringham, etc. It wasn’t this total blackout for 2 months.
Bingo. And even though the media doesn’t cover him as much, Charles didn’t have a blackout for the last two months either. He also never disappeared as prince of wales either.
How does one “lead tributes” without addressing the congregation?
I had the same question! I don’t get it! Somebody needs to explain royalty to me!
Same question. I think they sought out already planned tributes and are going to show up there taking credit for others work as usual.
Maybe they’ll use a PowerPoint presentation and a laser pointer.
Pie charts
My exact question. LOL
Why is no one asking the important question? Will Kate were the Vagina Necklace™️ to the commemoration of their sudden promotion to Moneyville…er…the late queen’s death?
“During the poignant visit…”
Er…..is the visit over? Didi it already take place/is it Sept 8 already? Because how do they know the visit was “poignant.”
Jeebus! These arsehole-britshidmedia-apologist! Theyre so puerile. Even Prince Harry, as a young teenager, was able to see and deride the immature scribblings of the shidteaters who call themselves journalists in britain.
So William will pay homage to his grandmother’s life and legacy but his message will also “look to the future”.
But “he will not directly address the cathedral’s congregation.”
That makes no sense. Is William going to be transmitting his homage to the late queen by telepathy? With semaphore flags? Interpretive dance? Pray tell.
@QuiteContrary, I just typed the same exact thing upthread. It makes absolutely zero sense! Like most of what these two idiots put out.
Will it be a prerecorded video like the solo piano piece?
@Libra, that’s a good guess. W&K are big on prerecorded videos.
“look to the future” means he will hijack the queen’s moment to hype his Earthshot Award, just like he did on stage for the Jubilee.
Speaking of Wales, was there ever any follow up about the dullbridges’s offer to replace the food that got stolen from a church run food bank? Not trying to threadjack, but curious.
OMG that ghastly Big Boy Restaurants coat. For those of you unfamiliar with the restaurant, check out Dr. Evil’s satellite from the Austin Powers movies. Then again, I think KKKate is evil so it’s fitting.
I believe William is all excited because he learned and is practicing one line of Welsh to regale to Welsh with–something like, “I am here and all is well with you.” He will expect massive praise and redemption.
His lack of learning a language on behalf of a title he has known all his life he will inherit, is unbelievable. I can’t think of how many times that Harry and Meghan have spoken languages that they previously didn’t know during their tours and engagements. Even the funny Travalyst ad that Harry did running in the woods with a few Kiwi following him. During Meghan narration of Elephant, Harry prided himself of helping her to speak the language well and to say the names properly. They put in the work even for something they don’t have decades to learn.
There was a service at the time of the Queen’s death in Scotland and did Charles go to NI for a service? I don’t remember if Wales had a service at the time, so the only thing that would make sense for this event is if Wales neglected to have a service at the time of Elizabeth’s death. I too would like to know if the stolen food was replaced by the Wales’s. I notice that they offered to replace the food. I dare say another couple would have simply replaced the food.
Charles went to services in all the home countries.
I swear, at first glance, that thumbnail looks like Kate is giving someone the double-barreled bird. For some reason that tickles me. Wish she would do that to some photographer. Just once. Or to William.
Nerd, Agree. But William couldn’t give a flying f–k that he doesn’t know Welsh and never will. Again, the laziness, entitlement and contempt for the Welsh, who do not even WANT him to have any role in Wales. This is colonial cosplay, for sure.
Using the death of the monarch is gross. Commoner Khate who seems to believe that wearing 12 inch heels and relentlessly buying new clothes makes her an aristocrat, will be parading around looking for every camera lens and William will be trying to avoid her as much as possible. This is not honoring the Queen or her memory.
ales, hear, hear!
I agree with MSTJ upthread here: this is purely being done to pull focus from Harry’s visit the day before for Well Child.
As simple and as childish as that.
The thought of that loathsome pair at a service in Wales on the anniversary of the late Queen’s death is not good. I bet none of the other royals will be about or if they are at quiet usual engagements. Kate at funerals and similar is terrifying .
