Here we go! Prince William did his first “event” in a month today in Surrey. While William was seen last week at a football match, I’m not sure we should count that as a work event. Although William probably does count it as a work event, given he is the Football Association president (who refused to support the Lionesses when they made the World Cup final). I digress. Today, Huevo mixed it up at Surplus to Supper, “a surplus food redistribution charity.” He posed for photos while playing around in the kitchen and lifting things. My first impression is that he seems sober.
Much like William’s sudden withdrawal from his godfather’s memorial service in February, I think William and Kensington Palace underestimate the international coverage he’s getting right now for “returning to work after a month.” I’ve seen coverage on NBC News, CBS, USA Today, Jamaica Observor, and beyond. William is used to operating with a pliable and sycophantic domestic press machine, and if you ask me, he’s not actually ready for international media to regularly cover how little he works. He has not had any work events since March 19th, three days before Kate’s big cancer video was released.
So far, I haven’t seen anything about William mentioning Kate or telling people “she’s doing well, thanks for asking.” Given how stage-managed these events are, that’s surprising. Update: according to Becky English, there was a reference to Kate. Updated again: LOL, one woman gave him cards for Kate and Charles and William seemed downright annoyed that someone would “ambush” him to send well wishes to his wife and father.
You can see how moved Prince William was as he thanked Rachel Candappa for her cards and promised to look after his wife. She wrote that the ‘whole world’ was proud of Kate, the bravery of her cancer announcement & determination to protect her children through this difficult time pic.twitter.com/x5cCaXNUCg

He’ll need at least another month off after lifting pots and pans. Hope he didn’t strain himself. 😏
Poor Huevo. And here I am, a 34 year old woman , lifting and handling heavy industrial products every day, 5 days a week. I mean he’s gonna need vacation after that.
I bet you he thinks this is a full day’s work, and why do the plebs complaint when they have to work?
Correction? A month’s worth of work. This is an entire month of work, royal style.
Wilnot has totally lost it. Harry & Meghan especially Meghan is living rent free in Wilnot’s head.
All of a sudden today we see Willnot in the kitchen going about showing his culinary skills. Isn’t h suppose to be talking about how to recycle food waste. What has cooking got to do with it?
Cooking is obviously a big thing that Meghan is involved in & so he has to outdo Meghan.
Then there is the forward he has written on a book dealing with suicide prevention with Military Veterans. Is he now trying to outdo Harry & drum up interest in Veteran affairs as well?
What Harry loves about Meghan ( her creativity) is exactly what Willnot hates about Meghan. He sees Meghan as the competition and the person who needs to be ” eliminated”. He absolutely hates Meghan.
I think part of his hatred lies in the fact that he believes that Meghan is doing the very things that he should be doing & cannot stand this fact. His WFH story is a guise for him to dedicate full time resources in smashing the Sussex brand.
What a pathetic species of a person!!!
What work? Let’s call a spade a spade. That is not work at all. Attending social events and being photographed for just being there is not work. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr😡
THIS. Social media was making a big deal about him “not wearing an oven mitt while touching a hot pot on a stove” – it wasn’t hot, the burner under it was clearly not on, he was PRETENDING TO COOK probably because they don’t trust him not to burn the facility down with all his day drinking. They probably hid the cooking sherry as well.
This wasn’t a charity support event, this was Huevo performance art.
He did absolutely eff all and will take off the next month to recover from this nonsense.
W will need a few days off to recover from all the hard work.. Has anyone noticed aside from the constant photoshopping of him and K, how W’s nose alternates from having a similar shape to Harry then at other events his nose is large bumpy and hooked shape.
@brassyrebel 😂 and off he goes for another month!
our favorite egg has to be off for something! 😂
Since Meghan cooked and wrote a best selling cookbook with the Kitchen ladies, (I forgot their name) William can’t stop putting on an Apron or lifting pots and pans to cosplay cooking to serve the less privileged. Is he genuinely interested in the cause or trying to compete with Meghan?😊
Ok he has come out from hiding and he lifted things in a kitchen. He gets no cookie for doing this because these are the things he should be doing with his platform on a regular basis. He only does this for the press it brings him.
I honestly feel like he should be out at least 4 days a week.
Yes, doing this exact sort of thing….. isn’t that his job?
Well, this week is almost over – but we can hope for next week.
Does he have a bit of a tan?
Looks like it to me.
In some pictures it does look like it and given the weather we’ve been having I doubt he got that here.
It said in the article yesterday that they went on a trip during the kids school break.
Did he go on the trip alone
According to the article the “family took a trip” but that’s all – so if it was all of them, is Kate well enough to travel out of the country for vacations but not to work?
Honestly, I can see them being resentful of the Easter service cutting their spring breaks in half every year – they can’t go away for as long as some of the kids’ classmates may be able to because they have to make that appearance at church. Maybe this is their way of saying “nah, not doing that anymore, we need two full weeks to appreciate Mustique.”
I very much need to know! Why I’m not sure, but they took a trip??? Kate, too??? Where it’s sunny & warm & can give you a tan like William got on his pointy little pate??? C’mon cell phone users, check your photos! You must have the Wales in the background of something!!!
@BeanieBean, I was SHOCKED that they actually admitted having taken a “family trip” the same day that it was announced that William wouldn’t be attending the CW event in October. Kate is so sick that he can’t leave her for a few days in *October*, but she’s well enough to go on vacation now? Seriously? I can’t believe that absolutely no one called them out on that. It warrants an explanation.
They really just do. not. care. anymore. They’re out of fcks and aren’t even going to pretend to care or work. William is setting the tone for his reign and apparently this is what it will look like.
Probably jaundice.
You spelled cirrhoses wrong 🥴🫣
Jaundice is a symptom of cirrhosis
I know exactly what it is sadly .. seen it far to often.
Does jaundice cause a black eye? Because one eye looks like it is also healing from a “gardening accident.”
@Harper People with jaundice do bruise more easily.
He comes back with tan, a little weight loss and wearing a copy of Prince Harry’s shoes he wore to polo, but of course he had to add the creepy uncle socks to make the look his own. I hope the international press keeps up the coverage it’s beyond time imo. This weak man wouldn’t have survived what he has put his brother through.
Harry & Meghan living rent free in head – even uptown mimicking Meghan cooking in the kitchen
It made me so uncomfortable to see that woman repeatedly curtsying to this POS in the video. He deserves no reverence or respect whatsoever. It’s gross.
Oh snap. Called out!
Yet his hair isn’t highlighted. Huh. I’ve been told that their family’s hair magically turns blonde when they get any sun. Guess that only applies to the brunettes in their family.
Yes, he has definitely gotten some sun. You can see it on the top part of his cheekbones, the bridge of his nose and especially at the top of his chrome dome where it meets his (rapidly) receding hairline. Have there been many sunny days in Britain in recent weeks?
The DM comments have not been kind. “Lazy William” and “where is Kate”. My thoughts exactly.
I watched the video of him lifting things out of the truck and immediately got uncomfortable. His motions are jerky, too-fast, and cartoonish.
Why is the sound always muffled whenever William and Kate are recorded speaking to common folk?
They don’t like it being used by comedians…🤷🏻♀️
Here’s Peg, dressed as the common man, wearing a safety vest. The poor fellow probably has a callus on his hand from the heavy lifting he did today. Tots & pears.
All that money and power, future king and he is not satisfied.
All he wants is to have the life that Harry has…the ability to venture out when he feels like it.
Sorry…that is the price you pay…. future King.
Another price will be for the hurt and pain you caused your brother.
Whatever or whoever you believe in…reap what you sow, Karma…whatever…it will come back to you……
William’s engagements are always gimmicky and why did the woman have to open the van door for him? Why do I get the sense that this engagement was set up as soon as KP found out that Harry and Meghan were in Miami?
That’s the perfect word. Gimmicky! I am sure on his way home he is laughing with his staff on the nonsense he had to perform. It’s actually quite insulting and cringe to watch.
Agreed.
I thought that so odd! She works for the charity, she’s not one of his RPOs! She shouldn’t have to be opening doors for this fully abled individual!
William’s return to “work” was reported on CNN too. Barely 2 minutes. Trump’s NY trial dominates coverage in the US.
Good Morning America, too. They said it was his first public event since Kate’s diagnosis, which of course, isn’t accurate. If her surgery was in January, then she found out shortly afterward.
He’s wearing the same jacket he wore to the AV game….why does he always wear navy and brown when he’s doing events that don’t require a suit? Should someone tell him there are more colors out there? What about green?
He does look sober, and I guess that’s the bar for him now? Is he sober or is he swaying?
A future king who spent the past month bashing his brother and SIL in the press (yet again) and insisting that he was going to be a WFH king……yeah, of course his “return to work” is going to be covered. I don’t think he’s ready for the international spotlight by any means.
Dude and his team are surprised that the international press is begining to ask “wait, you’re getting paid to do … nothing ?!”
And also for sure he’ll at least try to put this football match down as a work event, that lazy idiot.
Don’t forget the tweet. They literally called that tweet William’s “dipping his toe back into public life” or some nonsense like that. They’re building up to the WFH king by counting tweets as work engagements.
I would so sincerely enjoy this life, just this part. I can go anywhere in the country (and most of the world) and help people out with meaningful work and they are always glad I’m there. Like what’s not to love about this setup. How is he fumbling a life this good. No one says he can’t still have his own hobbies and interests, just like go around, talk to people and help them help people and they are always psyched you are there, it’s like heaven. Even as an adhd introvert, I’m telling you, knowing that people were always going to be happy I was there and helping would eliminate so much of the anxiety and rejection sensitivity. This is such a sweet setup for people who were raised in a way to actually appreciate what they’ve been given.
I agree Turbanma. A comedian here used to say the late Queen thought the world smelled of fresh paint. Because they freshened everywhere up for her visits. Welcomed and feted everywhere.
They have boundless opportunities for learning through their engagements too. It’s not like being stuck in a bitchy office with a cranky boss.
William is so deeply unattractive. Is it me, or is he more homely every time he emerges for “work”? I’ll bet a great deal of William’s rage and envy toward Harry is the result of his realization that Harry got it all in the looks department but he – the future king – is growing more fugly by the moment.
You *see* the anger and bitterness seeping through from where his soul should be. It reeks from his pores.
Think about it: when someone is happy, content… they have a “glow” about them. You can’t help but smile back.
But William? His visage *screams* resentment/anger/discontentment/arrogance.
I know he’s privileged in very many ways – money, job that most would find cushy, women throwing themselves at him (for flings although not marriage) – but money doesn’t buy happiness. And he has had a sad life in many ways.
Miserable childhood home life of parents constantly screaming at each other. Mother dying horribly. Emotional neglect after that. The woman he loved wouldn’t be with him for longer than a few months. Having to marry his stalker who has a narcissistic mother from hell. Stuck with A job he doesn’t want, even though many would love the chance to use the platform, he doesn’t want it. So….he does have a lot to be angry about.
Comes a point where you have the face you deserve.
Sun, booze, anger, booze and booze will show on your face mi-thirties, early-fourthies.
Tangential to this, but we’re all still kind of thinking of it I think, but I saw someone on Reddit – and not on a royal or pop culture thread – say that they think the cancer video was AI and I agree. If you told me that she was dead, I would believe it.
Nice of the lazy bird to fall out of his tree. I guess Harry and Meghan had garnered a little too much attention for William’s liking.
Betsy – I believe Kate is gone too
I should be clear that I don’t 100% believe that, but I also don’t believe that everything is on the up and up. They released two fake images plus the one with her mom in the car that looked so unwell as to look very much unlike her at all. I just don’t believe the video and wonder when there will be some sort of accurate reveal.
Betsy – I don’t think there’ll be an accurate reveal – just a highly distorted version of the truth presented to the public.
There was just an article in the NY Post describing Deepak Chopra’s digital “clone” where they’ve fed an AI enough videos of him that it can attend meetings and speak and respond as him. It was presented as a way for teachers and coaches to reach more people 1:1, but the implications are terrifying. If such a thing is available to him commercially then something even more powerful is probably available to KP.
Absolutely
Can’t do that with Kate though she was barely able to marble-mouth out a coherent sentence at any of her pre-illness engagements. You’d need so much more material to feed into the algorithm than she’s provided.
I’ve no doubt the announcement video was AI. Kate isn’t capable of speaking that niceley. The frankenphoto clearly had someone else’s body with Kate’s face stuck on, the legs were too short for her and the wrong shape. They might have been Carole’s legs. But I think the car photo was her and it shows why she doesn’t want to be seen – she’s put on weight and doesn’t want people to see her looking bloated.
He reminds me of my least favorite uncle — uptight, priggish and uncomfortable to be around.
Yeah he is just so limp and uncharismatic. No wonder he doesn’t go out much. But he and AI have always been popular at senior homes, that’s where he should focus. His base is over 80.
Harper – also there are people in the rf’s orbit who’d go along with a cover up – it’s not far fetched to think that.
And sing “you will always find him in the kitchen at parties” 🎶🎶😂, or stood in the corner drooling over someone else’s wife! I have never, seen anyone look so uncomfortable as this muppet did when he was handed cards for his wife. You would have thought someone had handed him a bomb or a signed picture of Harry 😂😂😂
Mary yes he does look uncomfortable when handed the cards which leaves me to wonder why so uncomfortable Peg? Did you do something to cause the disappearance of your wife?
@susanCollins, did you know Susan that over 6,000 deaths occur because of accidents in the home, AHEM, and several hundred accidents lead to surgery, especially after collisions with blunt objects, like the corners of tables going into the abdomen from a fall or PUSH,
……down the stairs or into a corner?
Wow, that was…weird. Yes, I know he’s there for another purpose, but c’mon. Smile, say some reassuring words! To my non-professional eyes, his body language & manner seemed to suggest he was accepting condolence cards for somebody’s death. Ew. Plus, that woman got a bit discombobulated with a real live prince in front of her. I felt for her; she got one glove off, to shake hands, but kept the other one on to pick up the cards. And she bobbed a curtsey twice. William should have known better than to extend his hand to a person with gloved hands doing food prep. And the pat on the shoulder! No! You’re in the workplace, dude! Such a lack of awareness!
Mary Pester, well, if he hasn’t seen either one of them for months, he probably didn’t know what to say. He’s so bad at this.
@saucy&sassy, yes he really is, mind you guilt can make a person really nervous and unresponsive!
A segment today on Sky News UK about William visiting surplus to supper was very revealing. We had the female reporter lamenting the ‘hysteria’ of recent months. You can bet she was itching to blame those vile trolls on social media trashing the monarchy. We were then TOLD, that (paraphrasing) the best place for William at the moment is with his family. For me this was a news channel engaging in propaganda. It showed not only a UK media outlet still defending William but also giving him an excuse when in the future the plebs start wondering why is he not doing more Royal duties.
Defender of Cats, I wonder how many years he should be with his family instead of working?
It’s intriguing that “ambushed” with get well cards was the chosen verb rather than “presented with” or “given”. Sykes blurb under the headline says “trying to move on”. Even as they insist everything is ‘fine’ KP and their minions still telegraph cagey behaviour. Trying to move on apparently means everyone is just supposed to pretend KP hadn’t been falsifying photos even before the Frankenphoto got killed, or was in direct contact with The Sun over the farm video. We’re supposed to feel secure in the knowledge that Kate is valiantly seated on her asymmetrical, entirely devoid of natural perspective bench getting stronger everyday in front of a stock still garden with no need to provide unambiguous proof of life 115 days after she was last undisputedly witnessed by the public.
“Ambushed” has the same negative energy that being strident and defensive over asking “Where is Kate?” did. Why be so quick to attribute malicious intentions to that question? Why should well wishes or concern for the POW’s welfare be likened to a surprise attack?
One theory we’ve discussed here which sort of fits with this is this – lets say Kate did have cancer or does have it or whatever – William wants his divorce. He knows he can’t divorce a wife going through chemo. We have heard he was opposed to her doing the video (and wasn’t even there for it ). So put that together with “ambushed with get well cards” and “trying to move on” – if William is hoping the public just sort of forgets about Kate, forgets that she’s sick, if he’s hoping she stays out of view long enough that people just forget she ever existed like an episode of Black Mirror or something…..then yes, he would view getting get well cards for her as being ambushed bc the public isn’t supposed to care about her or remember her etc.
I think he’s hoping if he can’t divorce her, she just sort of fades away in the background of Adelaide Cottage and he never has to deal with her again. A sick Kate who is too weak for public engagements ultimately benefits William – what’s one thing we have said about a divorce? The one big thing it gets william that he doesn’t already have is that it gets him out of public events with her, where he obviously can’t stand to be around her. So maybe if he can’t divorce her with cancer, and the public forgets about her enough, and she’s “too weak” going forward – he gets that part of it (the lack of public events) without the actual divorce.
That makes sense, definitely, but its still intriguing that they cannot bring themselves to play pretend to achieve that aim. Whose chain is being yanked when Sykes writes “trying to move on/ambushed” are the press applying a bit of pressure to William, a bit of shade? The frauds that KP has indulged itself in trying to bury Kate speculation are going to hang over William like a guillotine blade in perpetuity, some of that will out at some point.
This fits most closely with what I suspect, as I never thought they’d get an actual divorce but it was clear in public over the last 2 years especially that he loathes her.
I suspect they unite over common enemies and that made Meghan useful to them, but after M and H left and the initial “we won!” vibes faded and they were left with battered reputations, he started turning on her.
Although there’s still a part of me that can totally see them bonded in hate and mistrust of the world and never separating even in living arrangements. I know no one here agrees with that, it’s just a feeling I get sometimes. They could be that couple who hate the world more than they hate each other and who stay together out of vengeance and bitterness. A miserable life either way.
They showed this on ABC morning news here in Oz.
I found it sickening to be honest .
Carrying in a box while looking like he is doing them a huge favour just by gracing them with his presence .
He honestly disgusts me , he has no soul, he has absolutely no good attributes whatsoever .
Harry got them all .
@Cassie, I agree, maybe he should write a book called, “Cooking For PR”, by William, that would be a best seller! 😂
I know this is petty but it always annoys me that he doesn’t take off his jacket or sweater before putting on an apron. It’s awkward looking and gives me the impression he can’t wait the extra few seconds it takes to put his outerwear back on to get out of there.
