Here are some photos of Prince William’s first event in Singapore. On Sunday, he did what amounted to a general photocall with Sim Ann, the Senior Minister of State for Foreign Affairs of Singapore. They posed together at “the world’s tallest indoor waterfall, the Rain Vortex, as he arrived at Jewel Changi Airport.” Backlighting is not his friend! But he did get a decent turnout. I’ve always wondered why the Windsors don’t spend more time in Asian countries because they actually do get a good reception there. The Mail’s coverage made sure to lean into the narrative that William is a “rock star” (lol) and that people think he’s “handsome” (lmao).
Prince William was given a rock star welcome being greeted by hundreds of adoring fans in Singapore as he arrived on the island for the the third annual Earthshot Prize. The heir was all smiles as he arrived the Jewel Changi Airport with cheering crowds holding up homemade signs, waving Union Jack flags and clutching photos of his late mother Princess Diana.
At one point the royal was seen chuckling to himself and blushing as a person in the crowd shouted out ‘so handsome’ as he shook hands with those waiting.
The Prince of Wales chatted with children and took selfies with those eagerly lining the airport, as he walked through with Sim Ann, the country’s senior minister of state for foreign affairs minister.
During his four-day trip around the Asian island, he will announce the next batch of companies and inventors to be handed £1million at the prestigious awards, as well as speak with previous winners.
Unlike in previous years when William and Kate attended ceremonies in Boston and London hand in hand, this year the Princess of Wales will stay at home with her children, helping George study for important exams. The ten-year-old Prince, who is in Year 6 at Lambrook prep school in Berkshire, will likely be sitting entrance exams to his future private school, being tested in mathematics, English and verbal reasoning.
William took a 13-hour commercial flights from the UK to arrive at the nature-themed complex at Changi Airport around 5.30pm local time.
I assume that some embassy official was tasked with shouting “so handsome” at “57-year-old” William. Maybe it was someone on William’s staff – his new dresser, perhaps, or maybe that mysterious CEO he was looking for? You can tell that the British media is still mad that Kate didn’t come with him. Honestly, I’m mad that she didn’t go with him – we would have had stories for days about her Singapore wigs and her ridiculous fashion. Now we have to talk about dull William trying to be a global statesman.

He’s been working on ventriloquism.
😹 I wouldn’t be surprised
But not Welsh.
😀
good one
When will all this absurd simpering and puffery stop? Why does this idiot man affecting to become the future monarch of Britain allow and encourage through a sycophantic press the idea that he is a sex symbol with amazing looks and sculpted physique when he is a bald aubergine-head with a goofy rabbit grin that never seems genuine.
Just watch. He and Kate are being groomed to laugh hilariously, happy-happy at nothing, constantly spread their hands in a sign of rapport and engage imploringly with people with whom they have absolutely nothing in common with. Day after day, week in week out. It is getting so repetitively boring and false and all trying to be better than H and M.
Give up Willy. No chance.
He’s always so PINCHED. Ugh.
dull dull dull 🤣🤣🤣 zero charisma.
Ugliest man alive
I wouldn’t say he is the ugliest.
There is… ehm…
that medal belongs to his father; Charles is the worst of his parents put together
I just noticed: William’s favorite emoji is shaped just like his face – an eggplant/aubergine! Narrow at the top, widened at the bottom (the “Quagmire” jaw) lolololol
This probably could have been helped had he borrowed some of Kate’s tragic wigs
actually no, it wouldn’t but that would have been funny to watch
he’s got a head/neck like a dild*, the older he gets the more horrifying it looks and I can’t unsee it
Thank you! “Pinched” is the perfect description.
Lmao. “Pinched” like a 💩
This should be SpecSavers next moment for a ‘Should’ve gone to SpecSavers’ ad.
Hahahahahaha! After all, beauty is in the eye of the beerholder.
I just woke the cat up laughing at your comment!
Does anyone really care about this man? With or without his wife he looks like a fool. Trying to make fetch happen with this nonsense is simply a waste of time. If that gutter rag had not reported where he was I would not have known he had left the UK.
He tries to be Harry and comes across as phony as hell … and those unfortunate Windsor looks. When he is old he will look just like Chuck: a Gringott’s Goblin. Ugly as sin. And there’s plenty of that in the RF
I completely forgot he was even going to Singapore this week — all of the coverage I saw over the weekend was about the Sussexes going to Vegas, and how poorly the Kenyans were treated when C&C were there.
If this story wasn’t here on CB I would have forgotten about this trip (that we’ve seemingly been hearing about FOREVER) altogether. And yeah, it’s super boring without Kate there.
I live in Singapore and I forgot he was coming.
I suspect that, whoever said it, it was an effort to make up for a child saying last week that he looked 57 years old. William’s feelings must be saved.
I mean, I’m guessing all those people that lined up to greet him care…
People hang around to look at car crashes too.
Sure, sure. Presumably they’re not smiling ear to ear like they are in these pics though.
Probably Jason Knaufe.
I always read his name as Knife. Don’t know why 😉
This boy was a teen hearthrob. I really just don’t get it.
I really think it was all the hair. He had that fluffy blonde mop and it invoked very Diana’esque feelings in people. But once the hair thinned, all that could be seen were huge jowels and lackluster personality. It went downhill very quickly for him.
His ugly nature also imo took away his looks.
Same withEdward. Some men wear the bald look well but not the Windsors.
They both aged terribly and they both wear those fuddy-duddy suits that barely fit. If they dressed modernly, they would look a lot better. Harry was always a little more on trend than William, and as soon as he started dating Meghan his clothing improved even more. Kate has not upgraded William at all.
William is rapidly turning into a taller version of his Uncle Ed. That’s alarming.
Suebarbrie33, so true about the illfitting suits. Charles has some nice long wool coats, but that’s about it. His suit jackets always look a size too big, the pantlegs too short and too wide. Edward the same. Before Meghan, Harry used to dress like a fat guy who suddenly lost a lot of weight and doesn’t get his new figure yet. Peg’s moose knuckle is also worth a mention, since he has the tall slim stature that should be so easy to dress elegantly.
Reminded of the “Is he good looking or just tall” meme.
He can no longer hide his true nature. He just looks like Mr Burns now.
SNORT!
He got a decent turnout because he went to a public part of the airport, the same way he got a decent turnout because he went to a public place in NY. These visits are carefully choreographed and flags are usually handed out by embassy staff
I assume the waterfall is a “must-see” when at the airport so Burger King inserted himself into the scene. What rich or fancy person hangs around at an airport for a photo shoot after a 13 hour flight when he could hop into his private car and be in his luxury suite instead? His desperation to be liked is so bad.
The waterfall is a new feature, it just opened less than a week and is getting a lot of online buzz. I’m also not surprised if the British club and school distributed some flags.
A correction: the waterfall in the pic is an old one but many come to see it. There is a newer digital waterfall at T2. I do like our airport heh.
I’m sure she won’t b/c as we know he’s a rage monster. But it would be funny if she got “caught” by friendly photographers doing something adorable with one of her kids in an outfit meant to be photographed and deprived him of the few headlines he’ll get on his big boy power player trip.
She did it to Charles at the garden that one time. It does feel like he’s trying to get as big of a reception 🤯 like Harry when he went to Japan
Plus it speaks volumes that Meghan and Harry can be seen the day that you’re seen without Catherine. When are exams taken on a Sunday when everyone knows George is get into Eaton regardless
Sidenote Williams a Windsor. Even a baby can’t tell the difference between his 🤌 and a 🍼. Them 🤌 definitely 😁 didn’t fall far from the Charles 🌲
Mostly I’m impressed by the airport. A waterfall! And you know his team carries those little flags around to give out to people😂
Any word on the carbon footprint of manufacturing little flags to give away, most of which will end up in the trash?
If hundreds were there, they would have posted a wide shot of the crowd. It was probably a few dozen, most of which were probably staff from the Singapore government.
I’d say you were right.
🎯
Oh yeah George’s exams why keen cannot go.
It looks like he got himself a new suit. Never any wide shots of the ‘crowds’ is there?
He is tall and slim so suits should look good on him, he needs to look comfortable in a suit. Could use better tailoring, I’ve learned so much about men’s tailoring from Derek Guy. His post on King Felipe at Wimbledon explains how men’s suits should be tailored.
Felipe always looks great. I know the Spanish monarchy is problematic for a variety of reasons, but Felipe himself is always so handsome and he has a nice twinkle in his eye. William should take a lesson from that guy.
I said the same above, he should look great in a suit with his tall and slim figure. Even his taylor and valet are amateurs.
The suit pants don’t drape properly. Just one of those little things that his team never gets right.
Whoever shouted that he was handsome is blind. Note that global statesman William didn’t meet with Minister of Foreign Affairs. That says a lot.
Yeah they definitely planted someone to yell the “so handsome” comment.” They really are leaning hard into the idea that he’s a hunk, aren’t they?
he can fly to Singapore for 4 days but couldn’t go to Australia to support the Lionesses in the world cup?
Yeah, a ‘hunk’ that’s going to be single sometime soon on the hunt for a 2nd wife that can compete with his SIL.
Oy! could he be trying to make Catherine jealous? Clearly, these photos are staged to make it look like *he’s* the popular one, thus suggesting *she’s* the reason for all these flop tours they’ve done together.
Probably the same person who asked Kate to help with the crossword that time.
The keens attended hand in hand . Not so. William would move his hand away when she wanted to hold hands.
I’m sure they were a plant. Gotta keep up the sexy hunk global statesman fantasy.
had to have been the “new dresser.”
Using the mathematics of embiggening – when they say hundreds, they mean dozens. And I love that people were holding up photos of Diana – they don’t care that he’s PoW, they care that he’s Diana’s son.
He really is not diana s son anymore except biologically. He is like his father now and worse in many ways.
I don’t know why people give him such a hard time about his looks. I think he looks great for a 57 yr old. #goals!
LOL I love this comment Happyoften!
I was nearly taken in…. Great comment.
I’m Singaporean. There is a big expat crowd here from the UK and Aus so don’t be surprised they love the imperialists and neoliberalists. Some of the older locals and ladies love to deify and put westerners on a pedestal. This is an orchestration and critical thought is not encouraged. We have been taught that Singapore is a simple village before Raffles but this is not true.
Point is Singapore is a friendly country to the royals and Western powers. There won’t be demonstrations or calls for reparations. Someone here said it before – they will go to places like Singapore. I don’t follow local news but I saw some online comments and the locals did ask what he was doing here and what was the point. Some also called him privileged. So I would say there’s a mix of thoughts. We are more excited about Taylor Swift hahah.
That you for the ‘live reporting’ from Singapore!
Sounds like there are still many Diana fans too. Maybe they haven’t gotten the memo that she stole her looks back some time ago.
I don’t know about that though. I don’t encounter Diana fans but there’s very little critique of her. Of course we were sad when she died. She’s respected I would say, but not many people bother to know more about her. Charles is just seen as an old person with big ears. Camilla has been called ugly many times. What else is there for her.
Actually this so handsome remark sounds like it comes from an auntie hahah. Auntie get new glasses!
Auntie get new glasses 🤓😂😂
His team is leaning HARD on the “heart throb” thing whenever he travels alone and it’s…odd. Like, it’s a talking point they are actively pushing instead of, say, “he’s showing he’s ready to be king” or “he’s making a difference for the environment”. But, no, his team decided they want this man and his clenched jaw to try to compete with, like, BTS or Timothee Chalomet. Why would they set him up like that?
Is TOB jealous that Harry got a real glow up once he left for California and wants to hear that he’s still “got it”? Or is it just a way to broadcast his possible availability?
For real! What is the point of this narrative?! We can all see for ourselves that his vile (and violent) personality shines through his outer appearance. I guess they’re leaning into it in preparation for his upcoming single dad life?
But, as you say, why not lean more into some sort of powerful man behind the throne narrative? For some people power is so appealing that they could turn that into his hook. But to keep harping on and on about him being handsome and sexy is just bizarre at this point. Its getting to ‘who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes’ levels.
Is it to feed his ego? Do you think he cuts out all the headlines proclaiming his sexy handsomeness and pins them to his wall and then just sits and stares at them for days on end? Maybe that’s where he disappears to when we don’t see him for a month.
Agreed. And yesterday’s headline story in the DM about all of his girlfriends prior to Kate. So very odd when they’ve been married for years and have three kids. Like why would that even rank a throwaway line much less an entire column?
Right? The whole he’s a hunk and so handsome narrative is odd and it’s definitely being pushed. Is it just people on his team trying to feed his ego? Maybe they figured out it puts William in a better mood to read about how handsome he is and there’s less incandescent rages in the workplace. Or it’s the setting bc him up as the single dad prince.
The tabloids have been pursuing this angle for a while now — William as the handsome prince, a hunk, a heartthrob, whatever. Now they’re itemizing his former girlfriends. Seems like it’s a thinly veiled attempt to get people used to him being single again. I think the new year is going to be interesting as this nonsense continues to ramp up. Kate’s separation/divorce home is already set up, I’m sure hunky William has lavish suites in Windsor as well as KP and Anmer, now all his comms people have to do is create a palatable reason for the break-up that puts their marital problems squarely on Kate’s shoulders while making it about the pressure she finds herself under while trying to be a hands-on mom or some similar drivel.
“Is TOB jealous that Harry got a real glow up once he left for California and wants to hear that he’s still “got it”? Or is it just a way to broadcast his possible availability?”
I’d say eight of one, four of the other. 😂 For someone as poisonously jealous and entitled as William, he must be ready to break vases galore that his spare “goofball” brother is now being regarded as the sexay one. (Just as William is losing his looks, at that.) Add that to the long, long, long, long list of things Harry has that he doesn’t, and you have a permanently-enraged man who knows all too well his title hasn’t given him the everything he feels he deserves. One hates to tell the poor guy that a new Princess of Wales 2.0 ain’t hardly gonna solve his problems.
So what’s the going rate to shout out “so handsome” to someone butt ugly? Asking for a friend if this could be a career….🤣
A growing stain on your soul.
LOL!
@SarahCS well done 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol! Brava Sarah 👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏
1) Heh–that’s an interesting economic question. Probably way less than whomever of the RR got paid to refer to William as Mr. Darcy. 🤮 🤮 2) Yeesh. I’d almost rather be a paparazzi. At least one can honestly operate a camera…
He really should have gotten hair plugs before it was too late. The ugliness of his soul would still shine through, but at least he’d look slightly better!
Or at least start taking Minoxidil or Rogaine so his hair grows back slowly and subtly.
Bahahaha sure, Jan.
Well I guess we know for sure that his lover is on the trip with him because no one else on plant earth would shout that out to that man. He’s the xenomorph from Alien from the top and Mr Burns from the side. His lips are as dry as the Sahara and his smile is frightening enough to haunt a child’s (and my) nightmares. He’s ugly inside and out. No way, no how was some unpaid, non-lovered random person shouting out anything with the word handsome in it while looking at that man.
The guy is ugly inside to the core. The ugliness is distorted to his head and face. Nothing can be done to fix it. Leave him alone to rot 😭
Hard cringe calling Willy a heart throb.
Omg. Who cares.
Are we sure this comment wasn’t aimed at a royal equerry (because some of those chaps really are lookers – unlike PW).
I just assumed it was someone in the crowd tripping out on acid.
I think this article should have been accompanied by photographs of Kate’s jazz hands, big blue front and center, writing out flashcards of vocabulary words for George’s important examination? George spell XENOPHOBE. George spell COLONIZATION. George what is the definition of THIEVERY. Otherwise it’s a bit hard to believe that Kate is required for study sessions. Like I need photographic evidence of what she is doing – perhaps seat her at a table, surround her with times tables and maps for geography where she is circling Kenya in a red pen – George this is where Grandpa is – now what is the capital?
What would be really fun is if all that missing jewelry turned up in the videos at her kitchen table and she had a bowl of lemons right next to it.
Also, as I understand it, the winners are not going to be “handed £1million at the prestigious awards” – they get about £250,000 don’t they, with the rest to follow in later years – probably with conditions attached (just like any other grant – and rather unlike a “prize”).
Anyway, it would be nice if this event focussed more on the actual winners. Let’s hear who they are and what they do – proper coverage, so we remember them, not a couple of throwaway comments in articles which glorify the deeply unimpressive PW and his paid-for celeb chums who are being flown in to glitz up the occasion.
Did so handsome shouter also say so much hair ? People would lie about anything to get attention
😂😂
So handsome? Yikes!
William’s Singapore Earthshot is overshadowed by the more important ongoing Israel-Palestinian war. Nobody cares about this nobody.
Don’t come for me, but bald men can be sexy, and William is very attractive.
I know finding someone attractive is subjective so I don’t want to make fun of you. But SERIOUSLY?! lololololol
You don’t? Cuz that sounds an awful lot like you’re making fun of me.
Have you lost your mind?
@kelleybelle, THANK YOU, you made me laugh out loud x
I agree bald men can be sexy!! But William is no where near being attractive. Gah!!!
I couldn’t get past his cruelty. Throw in the racism and you’ve got yourself a really ugly man.
For sure — look at Jason Statham, Stanley Tucci, Tyrese Gibson, Ed Harris — but William’s egg shaped head and over-sized jaw is just not any kind of handsome.
Yum–Jason Statham. Not to thread-derail, but I get a kick out of seeing him all grim and machismo-o-rama on-screen. In interviews, he’s delightfully nerdy–and one suspects it’s hard keeping a straight face acting with him. 😂😂
Is Predator your favorite movie?
No. Is it yours?
FK did look much happy without KM grabbing his butt and stealing his limelight. I doubt that they will ever do Royal Tour together again, now Willy has “proof” that he can go solo and enjoy himself without her!
Ahhh, now I get it, William has appointed a new valet (keeper of the Royal peg) and his first duty was to shout “so handsome”, and the child stood next to him” NOOOO that’s baldy Billy “, Harry is handsome. They can hand out as many flags as they want, get a narrow crowd shot to make him look popular, but that won’t change the FACT that he is a raging narcissist with the morals of an alley cat. If he wasn’t chocolate Charlie’s son, I expect a court would have instructed him to attend anger management classes by now
Actually the new valet and the whole handsome sexy hunk narrative did start around the same time so you might be on to something @mary pester.
@Jais, yes and like I had drummed into me during training, “there’s no such thing as a coincidence!!
I had the same thought when we learned that Kate wouldn’t bother to come : when she comes press talks about her even if it’s not always flattering. Those idiots should have learned from the New York flop tour but noooo.
Who shouted ‘so handsome’? Someone cashing a large check today.
😅🤣😂🤣
I’m shocked no one shouted So Bald!
Guessing it was deranged Dan trying to ingratiate himself!
Please someone explain, in what universe is this homely, insecure, petulant poser “so handsome”? Somebody got paid to spew that hilarity.
Okay, I do think he’s more relaxed without Cant with him. So, there’s that. I have no idea what his schedule is and what he’s doing while there other than Earthsh!t. He could acquit himself well enough that it could be considered a success.
I keep wondering if once he’s top dog if he will grow his beard back. He gets to make the decision whether he can have a beard in uniform. I think they need to scrap those uniforms and just go with suits and medals, but who am I?
If he can do a fairly decent job in Singapore without Cant as a distraction, we may see him on more trips. What I find interesting is that this trip is not one that KFC could say no to, since Wont is involved with it. I wonder where he’ll go next?
Shave his head. Grow a neatly trimmed beard. Wear colorful ties and losen up
William looks even worse with a beard. Just Google.
The ‘so handsome’ comment is so laughable that I’m going to skip right past that.
Am I the only one wondering how Kate who can’t string 3 sentences together is going to coach and help Prince George revise his subjects….not to many helping him with Math?! Just say she’s staying behind for moral support. We all know that he probably has a tutor to help him revise (no shame there).
How many of these people were just travellers who stopped to see what the fuss was about?
Wow! They hit all the current lies, ahem I mean narratives, that they are trying
to sell about William and Kate.
“Handsome” prince William, check. Kate isn’t in Singapore (because her husband can’t stand her) because her 10 year old son has a super improtant, life changing exam, at the age of 10, check. Environmentally conscious Willy took a commercial flight, check. Last but not least, William is so effing popular ya’ll, check.
Only thing missing is how much more popular and adored he is than Harry. And of course grrrr Meghan. 🤣🤣🤣
Well Meghan was in that very same airport in 2009* and didn’t get anywhere near the same response so that’s proof that William is more attractive and popular.
*I made that up.
Handsome?! 😂 that man looks like an ugly 🍆. No way someone in their right man will shout that ! Perhaps they were paid. He can try but he ain’t his brother.
A person whose family is being held hostage.
It was Mummy Middleton of course!! She’s also the new stylist. It’s her new plan to get back in Big Willies good graces and pay back all of her creditors
Who yelled it out?? A paid actor, no question. 😂
Camilla Tominey
Someone was paid to call Mr. Burns from The Simpsons handsome? Whatever, BM.
He’s blessed with good looks high cheekbones and nice face structure from his mom however he lacks that charisma. He would be more attractive if he worked more and started less drama and just got a good stylist.
