On Prince William’s last day in South Africa, he finally got some protests. I wondered if it would happen, considering how few people were paying attention to Slumlord Willy’s Big African Keenness, and it finally went down. Per the Express, “Protesters ambush Prince William on South Africa tour and demand ‘go home now’.” On his last day! They were like, enough already, four days is way too much.
A rowdy mob of anti-monarchy protesters have ambushed Prince William on his final day in South Africa. The Prince of Wales was visiting Kalk Bay in Cape Town this morning when he was met by the group yelling “go home now” at him. Others held signs that said “William, you have no sovereignty in our country”.
One protestor holding up a sign on Thursday morning said he was angry because he believed the prince had not been to the townships to “see the suffering”. When it was confirmed, William, 42, had indeed done that, the protestor appeared speechless and simply shook his head.
While chants were made against the prince, who carried on with the engagement unphased, plenty of supporters tried to drown out the opposition. Cheers of “William we love you, we love you William” could be heard from supporters of the future King.
The three protestors joined the crowd of well wishers just over an hour into the prince’s visit to meet local fishermen to highlight the contributions of 2023 Earthshot Finalist Abalobi. While most of the protest was aimed at William, one protestor shouted that the future King should “hand back what your grandmother stole from us”.
Meanwhile, some of the local fishermen and women said they all were angry because they were not included in the engagement. William met the 2023 Earthshot finalist, Abalobi, during his time on the harbour. Duwayne Baulse, who has been a fisherman for 15 years since he left school, said afterwards: “They aren’t based here and they don’t buy our fish. People only come here when it is sunny. We are here in the rain and storms.
“They have excluded us. William has not come to look at our fish. No one told us the Prince was coming. Abalobi don’t support us. This is our harbour. We are not angry with him (William). We want people to come here more often. Not this set up.”

I’m including one video below. Some of the protesters were the traditional kind of anti-monarchy, anti-Windsor types, but the other protesters were focused more on local issues like the plight of local fishermen. All in all, badly stage-managed from William and his people. I have no idea what his trip looked like on the ground in Cape Town, but the vibe I got was that most people greeted this whole thing with ambivalence more than disgust.
🗣️ "William go home."

Prince Harry was in South Africa recently supporting his very worthy cause Sentebale and I do not remember any protest.
I’m sure fans of the royal family will find an explanation for this. And that as always it will be truthful and very reasonable. 😉
@Maxine Branch: To be fair Harry wasn’t really out in the public to the extent that William was.
Either way, it was announced he was coming to the event.
Glad to see protests. And Now Williams face and neck look dirty from the scruffy stubble
Why does he look so awkward and dull, the first picture 🙄🙄 I swear God gave William the Crown and gave Harry everything else 🤣🤣🤣
Great comment, @swaz😆🤣😁 And probably quite accurate.
I’m sure fans of the royal family will find an explanation for this. And that as always it will be truthful and very reasonable. 😉
Nothing more then the global putz deserves.
Correct! His Royal Keeness and Earthshit landed with a thud. No one cares, no one is impressed, no one wanted him. He is an over-privileged bore.
I saw one reporter saying he was greeted by crowds but the true size of the crowd couldn’t be determined because of the angle that the photo was taken and it looked like the people who were there to see him were white British as they were draped with Union Jacks. Apparently William left via a back entrance to avoid the protesters.
The only reason I remembered William being here was because there was an article about the DHL stadium in Cape Town being lit up for Earthshot, and the response I saw was “why must we bring attention to the ugly stadium”😂
The article describes the protest as a “rowdy mob,” a “group” and “the three protesters” – so this doesn’t sound particularly serious.
The one bright spot in a week of darkness was seeing William fail another of his ‘Superbowl’ moments.
I kind of think he wishes he was protested more so that he would have gotten more international attention. The interest in this trip and the event was dismal, even on his own social media.
The man looks awful, grimacing in a beard like that.
He looks worse every time I see him. Is he sick, is it drugs? It’s the same vibe I got with Liam Payne who looked really skinny and just off the last few months of his life. The beard is doing him no favors, he looks unkept and dirty.
He does look like he’s on drugs. His weight loss is alarming. He looks like heroin users do.
Four days and I still can’t tell you who won or what their winning projects are supposed to accomplish. What I do know is Silly Willy wore a special bead bracelet like his brother does, it has the word papa on it like his brother folder, oh and that he scheduled a special photo op to abusively troll Meghan by sniffing jam. (The jam sniffing has an off the charts “creepy-ass-ick factor” I am so grossed out that this is what he chooses to highlight🥴🤢)
Truthfully I was hoping he would have had more protestors along the way, but glad to see the showed up before he left.
Wow, he’s unattractive! His looks continue to decline AT SPEED. It’s alarming! My guess is Diana is draining away all Peg’s looks until he’s just a fugly shell of his original self. Perhaps he’ll end up as one of the homeliest monarchs England has ever had.
Pretty stiff competition for the ugliest British Monarch, but if Peggy continues his decline he is going to take the top spot from his father when he is crowned. The Windsor’s have been a generationally homely family with little to help that homeliness in the form of an actual personality. That family builds their brand on the backs of “married-in’s” like Princess Diana and Princess Meghan and the rare Royal who actually has empathy and a personality like Prince Harry.. they killed Princess Diana and would have done the same to the Sussex’s had they not fled. C&C a long with WanK have conspired to make sure the future of the British Monarchy will always be ugly, bland, shallow and out of touch with their bloated egos.
There was an unveiling of a statue of the greatest Zulu King ever, (King Shaka) in Durban yesterday. It was attended by the SA President and other VIPs They didn’t even invite little Willy to such an important event. Instead he is busy piddling about on a rescue boat and it isn’t even swim season in Cape Town.
Video clip says he was “greated by protesters and excited crowds” — I see the protesters, but can’t seem to find the excited crowds?
Oh, that is funny! So much for keen Prince Statesman.
Maybe they invited him and he declined. He was busy sniffing jam
William should stop showing his teeth so much. It really emphasizes his homeliness. I’d like to see a natural smile from William. All his facial expressions seem so exaggerated.
Kade vele “dingani? Served him right. More of this please
Nope, its definitely King Shaka. Wasn’t Dingaan the one with big belly? It was definitely King Shaka, because the Durban Airport is named after him. And no mistaking that amazing, ripped, body.
That last picture (clutching his crotch and looking up instead of at the people talking to him) is the first time I have laughed since Tuesday. The Doofus Slumlord Prince.
Thank you, Cape Town protestors.
Aww, Billy got to play dress-up again.
He just looks like a spoiled , selfish , self absorbed big kid .
Which he is I guess .
Bulliam really got beaten with the ugly Windsor gene stick. Not even the mane of hair he got from his mom would save him now. Really his mom’s genes left him in the dust and ran away from him in his 20s.
