Difficult time with the republicanism issue over there - probably the end for the royals in Australia soon. Probably don't want to inflame the protests or ignite the issue further.

Imagine with Sunak that it's the time - 4 days gone for a football match.

They didn't go to the netball world cup final that England were in, nor I believe the under 15's and under 17's world cup finals when England where in them.

They can't go to everything or it devalues it anyway.

As they're heads of the UK not just England, should they go to the other home nation events too?

But the article said the Prince said he was sorry he couldn’t be there, so presumably he wanted to, but has something else on more important
I was curious what that was.
Sunak is another matter. They might not have had time to get a high chair installed for him to be able to see

I would guess that the other male teams fall under his remit too, but he never went to those either and nobody seemed to make a fuss.

The bits I've read suggest that a large part was the potential backlash about the emissions from traveling to the match. There's also the potential for bad optics if enough Aussies boo out of spite.

I wonder how many of the team queued up for Royal events to show their affinity to the crown.

I'm imagining the Eng team after having their hands shaken by James Cleverley and Lucy Frazer.

'ere Lauren who the f**k was that then?
f**k knows Beth, some govt bod I think, no idea who the woman was.
Nah, he's summat to do with the foreign lot, spy or summat, no idea who she was
Is she married to somebody royal d'yer think?
Dunno, never seen her in the royal box at Wimbledon, are we meant to have a royal?
I think we're supposed to, but I've never heard of that one.
Ah right, so that's it is it, that's all we get?
Aye, f**k 'em.

The original excuse I believe was that he felt uncomfortable about aircraft emissions for such a short trip. I'm not sure that adds up, if you go for a weekend or a month the emissions are the same. Also I thought climate change was his dad's pet project, William's being homelessness.
As others have said he probably just didn't fancy it, which is really poor given he is president of the FA. This event is one of the biggest to have happened to England and the UK for god knows long and he turns his nose up at it. He should be there, I mean, what else is he for if not for doing stuff like this. No excuses, he's been ****.

Ok
I thought it was down to a prior engagement, which is why I was curious what it was. If it was about emissions that’s a whole other debate
 
I haven't watched any of this tournament as I genuinely don't get anything out of woman's football(awaits cries of sexism).

That said,they've deserved and earned a crack at this and I wish them all the very best...

A lot of them are wearing thongs ;)
Sometimes you can see up their shorts.
Still not interested?

It's amazing what communication methods are available if required
and plenty of time to do paperwork
