Not sure where this best sits, but as we don't have a bespoke WWC thread... Prince William's office has announced that he will not be attending the World Cup Final on Sunday, citing 'carbon footprint issues' of flying half way round the world for a brief trip. Yes, that's the son of the monarch of Australia, who also happens to be the President of The FA... - would he have attended the Men's final had that been the case? Damn right he would! - what's the carbon footprint difference of an extra few passengers (in First Class) on a scheduled flight that would be flying in any case? - He has no other engagements in his very busy diary until mid-September and yet he clearly never had considered attending - as this could have been a decision made months ago and he could have created a State visit to bulk it out. WTF do we have a Monarchy, please remind me?
Prince Harry has the opportunity to do something that might actually cause a couple of royal correspondents to explode Hopefully one of them is Angela Levin...
I think it was a pop at Sunak and that twats ridiculous shirt wearing. But unfortunately, like most of his 'jokes' it didn't work....
