On Tuesday, Prince William was out for the second day in a row. That man has barely been able to scrape together one event a week for most of the year, so it’s always notable when he’s out of the palace/castle for two days in a row. He was in Salisbury Plain, visiting the Welsh Guards, one of his relatively new military patronages. Last year, Buckingham Palace finally got around to doing a switcheroo – Charles, as Prince of Wales, had all of the Welsh-related patronages, and now Charles is trying to force William into taking all of them. William has refused for the most part, but he did take this one.
Anyway, William wore a Welsh Guards uniform and played with a drone, and watched some other military exercises. The beret helped cover up William’s tragic hair situation (the wispy combover is a catastrophe) but the beard remains. In some of these photos, you can even see that Peg is really trying to cosplay his brother too. What I don’t get is why William thinks this particular beard version (trimmed to look patchy) is his best look. It ages him terribly.
Meanwhile, Kensington Palace lackeys must have screamed at the rota, because several stories popped up about William’s appearance at this engagement. The Daily Express swore that people have been “sent into a frenzy” over “His Royal Hotness.” The Mirror devoted a story to a body language expert who swore that William’s beard and informality indicate “a growing confidence.” Still nothing about his horrible posture, his constant crotch-clasping and his noticeable weight loss, huh?

William is on the front pages of several papers today and apparently one morning show was raving about the American fans enjoying seeing him an uniform. This tells me that this objective of this engagement was not to visit the troops but to give William a chance to cosplay a soldier and to boost his image.
KP’s PR is so obvious.
Yes, I’m sure all 10 of his American fans enjoy seeing him in uniform.
Honestly, he reminded me of Kate, not Harry. Kate was the one doing the most cosplaying sh*t. She even did the soldier one. She looked exactly like Will here.
@sevenblue: It’s true Harry never pretended to play act like a soldier. I would think as a real soldier he would find the things that William did yesterday demeaning and refused to do the. But it’s clear that Harry got a lot of attention for being a soldier and on active duty and William has always been jealous of that.
@Amy Bee, look at photos of Kate cosplaying soldier a few years ago. It is very similar to these photos. I don’t remember Harry cosplaying like that as a civilian. To me, it seems like he is trying to be like Kate to get headlines, since she isn’t around much anymore.
I will give William some credit that he wore the full uniform and didn’t substitute with khaki jeggings.
I didn’t see a single person comment that he is hot. It was the opposite.
His face has major wrinkles.. I’m almost 60 and I don’t have that many lines on my face😳.. he’s aging at lightning speed at this rate his face will be as crinkled as his step mothers before he’s 45..
I did. On Instagram the fangirls called him hot and sexy. And love his beard. I didn’t check their profiles, might be fangrannies. There are women who swoon over William.
But there are women swooning over tRump.
The nickname “egg” has got to him. Growing a beard and wearing a hat low on his forehead are exactly the kind of measures a stylist would advise. Especially if you want to get rid of a nickname that is, shall we say, something similar to Humpty Dumpty. I don’t believe one bit that there are fangirls. But yes, the changes are better.
Yes Prince Harry was doing Invictus promotions and prep for the upcoming games so wee little Willy wanted to be photographed with soldiers.. I’m still laughing at his stance, nothing screams “not a soldier” than is posture and penis protecting hand placement 🤣🫣..
Someone needs to pluck up the courage to tell him stop protecting his naughty bits.
This American is no fan and I’m sure there are others who have no f**ks to give about him being on the cover in a uniform. He played with drones says it all. He went there for a photo op and played with drones.
American fans? At the venue? With binoculars from Stonehenge (the only thing I know about the Salisbury plain, that and the Cursus & the Cathedral)? Or, wait, do they mean ones reading their rags or watching this on the news? Do they not understand how pitifully few this would be, American or otherwise?
Lololololol…he wants to be Harry so baaaad! Has he learned Welsh yet?
That would mean working.
“growing confidence”? The man is 42 and has known his whole life what his future role will be. How is being infantilized like this after all these years? he’s the most coddled heir to the throne, even more so than the European teenagers/20 somethings.
The strong sunlight in these pics does him no favors, he looks older than 42. Which is fine – he’s aging – but it does not give off the vibe of “his royal hotness.”
My first thought was that he looked like he was in his mid-50s. Also surprised that they never fixed his buck teeth.
I vaguely recall that both kids wore braces; there’s only so much that orthodontia can do.
He’s got a small mouth and huge teeth and no matter how much the braces tried, the teeth just couldn’t be made to fit in.
William is playing the long, long, long game.
That struck me, again, as well. How much longer do they think they can keep doing this ‘growing confidence’ thing? Will they do it even after he becomes king?
Please make this man shave.
@Interested Gawker … I think it would be funny if Harry suddenly decided to shave off his beard. He’s hot with or without it, and he’s said the only reason he keeps it is because Meghan really likes it. it’s not tied to his identity.
😂😂😂
H&M should put an AI video showing H clean shaven and then denounce it after William cut his beard off!
Is that true, that Harry said Meghan likes his beard? Well, then here we go: mystery why W is displaying a beard is solved.
It doesn’t matter what he does with the beard, I will never not be able to focus on the floppy penis nose and yellow horse teeth.
Oh my God, I thought I was the only one to notice the unfortunate shape of his nose at certain angles.
And me!!
Yikes that 3rd pic of the 3 under the text is quite something. I need to go and wash my eyes and brain with soap and water.
Oh dear, can’t unsee that now…
I have never seen being nasty on the inside ever come out on the outside as much as him.
He looks angrier with that beard it emphasizes his mouth and enlarges it not a good look.
Those body language “experts” that the BM seem to like to quote should seriously think of refusing to do their job.
Everyone can see that Harry’s brother would be best served by a professional intervention — this “fig leaf” hand-clasping, the baring of his teeth like an angry dog, the way he seems to want to retreat into his shell with his bad posture.
Too bad he doesn’t seem to have anyone in his life who cares about helping him — neither friends, nor cousins, not even a wife.
The drone looked like a toy heli to me at first when I superficially looked at the pics elsewhere. “Look at me, Harry, with all my grown up toys…”, while Harry’s out with the pros, the dealmakers, politicians, economists.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink. I think many people in William’s life have recommended therapy but he refuses because the truth is the thing he wishes to avoid most.
Hahahahahaha, that fool (yes that’s my petty nickname for Willwont) I will call this man a fool until he actually does something or say something to show he isn’t.
This (of course) wasn’t a visit, he went and did a cosplay photoshoot. Someone tell me which and what American people are going crazy for this man? If his intent was to capture American attention so Harry would notice him WHO ON HIS TEAM KEEPS SCHEDULING HIS FOOLISH ATTEMPTS AROUND MAJOR AMERICAN “DAYS”
His miserable earthflop was on election day
Whatever this is, is during our collective THANKSGIVING week
AND Kendrick Lamar dropped GNX last week…
More Americans are fascinated with Drake’s crashout that this man.
THIS FOOL is beyond help and also also, damn he seems to age about another year in a matter of days.
It is curious why this English man who is visiting Wales should seek to capture AMERICAN attention while doing it. It’s just bizarre. Why not claim that Willie had many Welsh fans, electric or otherwise? Why American fans, unless this was just a “Look at me!” “I’m important too, Harold!” response to Harry’s busy schedule?
He’s so ugly
lol he is on the front of the express today declaring him self the hot one LOL
He actually looks pretty good in a uniform. Surprisingly.
The rougher look does him well compared to him cleaned faced.
Yes agreed! I think he looks good and in general people do seem to have a more favorable opinion of him over the last year. He has been through a lot. I am not a fan of the monarchy in general or anything but he seems ok. I am sure he cares about Harry because that is his brother but they are in separate realms work wise and position wise. William has a higher reach it just is what it is.
His face looks dirty now.
Does………….he NOT KNOW that playing Toy Soldier makes him look even WEAKER?
Lawd…….like…I CAN’T EVEN😱
I was in the supermarket early this morning, and they were removing unsold magazine issues from the racks by the checkout. So many had William, Kate, William and Charlotte, on the cover. These magazines are not exactly selling like hotcakes. I don’t think most Americans, other than dishers, care about these people. And this American indifference and dislike is only going to get worse. William surrounds himself with yes men (and women!) who “yes” him to death and “approve” of his horrible work ethic. And please spare me the articles about William “getting ready for his role,” “finding his way as Prince of Wales,” “coming to terms with his future,” etc. All this getting ready preparing garbage is another way to excuse his lousy work ethic. After all, how can he work when he is “preparing”?
Isn’t it sad that he has known his future role his entire life and still is so dithering and unprepared. I mean shouldn’t the Prince of Wales at least be fluent in Welsh? How is playing with drones in any way a good look for this loser? It seems that he enjoys playing dress-up in this military outfits but could any of those Welsh Guards feel comfortable with him leading them into any battle?
Yes, from what I recall Charles (not a theatrical bone in his body) did plays in college anyway because he believed practicing dialogue would eventually help in his future speech making. IMO he was right – garbage human, but knows how to give (at least gave) a great speech.
I swear all of this gushing is for an audience of one. William. They have to bolster his ego and confidence. Yes, Willy, you are the most handsomest sexiest prince in all the land. All the Americans says so🙄
That’s the biggest drone they’d let him play with? Oh dear.
That itty-bitty drone LOL.
You know what they say: Little drones, little …
Who came up with the comedic “royal hotness”? He wishes. Sounds like he was the instigator.
@Libra don’t cha love KP trying to make fetch happen. HRH’s blue steel look here is giving small drone energy!!
I only say Harry’s boss walk. Every time Harry gets positive comments Willi comes out and tries to imitate Harry. Unfortunately Willi always fails.
William is getting more unhinged as each day passes .
I don’t think anyone really cares about this poor pathetic rich man .
I mean as in that anyone truly loves him .
Just a deeply unhappy man .
This reminds me of Trump sitting in a large truck on the White House lawn. Playing vroom, vroom and grinning like a 4 year old boy at Christmas.
Will is going to be king not a movie star, so why try and rebrand him as too sexy for his tweeds?
American fans? Are those the people associated with Scammy?
He should wear a hat or cap the rest of his life. Then he could stop adding strands one at a time to his pointy pait: his chief obsession and job.
Sorry, pate.
What’s the point of having all that money if you just end up having yellow horse teeth ?
I did. On Instagram the fangirls called him hot and sexy. And love his beard. I didn’t check their profiles, might be fangrannies. There are women who swoon over William.
But there are women swooning over tRump.
The yellow teeth gotta go
He just looks like a boy-man desperately looking for an identity.
