William, Prince of Wales

There is a formality to even being able to access the princess.

Even if you don't meet the princess in in a royal setting, let's say, you see how Kate Middleton met Prince William, yeah, they went to the same college, like, they studied in the same educational institution, and that educational institution was a private educational institution, and it wasn't just any private educational institution, no, first of all, your family needs to have money to be able to pay your school fees to go there.

And it's not just anybody that they accept.

And yes, you need to know people who know people who will aid in your child's application process.

And it's like, that's the bare minimum.

Saying slavery was abhorrent, you used the same word when you sent Prince William there years ago, okay? I think understandably, we're looking for a little bit more from the figurehead of this institution that really, really did propel the slave trade to the heights that it achieved in the 18th century to acknowledge more than just, yeah, that was bad.

That sucked.

When he arrived in Nassau, the Bahamian capital, on Tuesday, the king did address this past.

You should go read it from The Observer.

It's on par with Marina Hyde's Substack newsletter.

One of the people speaking to The Observer, who is involved in mental health research, says, quote, "...people draw attention to the irony of Prince William talking about his concern for mental health and for homelessness while at the same time very badly affecting the mental health of people who live and work here and potentially making families homeless." To many people, it feels as if he cares more about the urban poor than the rural poor.

It's hypocrisy.

The last time members of the royal family embarked on a tour of the Caribbean, it was widely seen as a PR disaster.

On an official visit to Jamaica in 2022, Prince William and his wife Kate were photographed shaking hands with local children through a chain-link fence.

They later appeared at a military parade, dressed all in white, waving from an open-top Land Rover.

Critics said it looked like something from the bad old days of colonial rule.

I got all these.

Well, I met Prince William at another show.

That was the year before.

And, yeah, just going from there, it's pretty good.

Who are you? I've got all these.

And, yeah, just going from there, it's pretty good.

It's on at like 10.30 on a Friday.

And Prince William was on the sofa alongside Cate Blanchett, Hannah Waddingham, and Robert Irwin, Steve Irwin's son.

So like a really starry sofa.

But I mean, again, I mean, the royals just keep throwing curveballs.

Never in a million years did I think – that Prince William would be sitting on the Graham Norton Show sofa.

This is such a break with Royal Convention.

I mean, he was on ostensibly to talk about his Earthshot Prize, which is this environmental initiative where the winners develop solutions to major environmental problems and they get paid a million pounds each.

stripper.

Wasn't that Prince William the other day? I mean, Prince William was going to be king, and he said when he was a kid, he was growing up, he wanted to be a DJ.

That's

right.

DJ Zara, but Zara with an X.
