Stuff like this makes him look like an aimless dilettante and reminds everyone, in the middle of a prolonged, horrible recession, that he doesn’t have to work and can basically do whatever he wants and not have to worry about anything. My opinion of him has really dropped over the past couple years (and my opinion of his brother has improved).
His career path is leading to one day being king. And his soon-to-be offspring is also set to reign. His responsibilities as a father are as important as his exposure to the military life.
Well, yeah. He’s royalty. He never did have to work. But he did. Life ain’t fair. He hit the life lottery. Not everybody can. He has had none of the scandal his little brother has. I can’t fault William for wanting to begin a family.
I have the exact opposite opinion.
He does have bigger fish to fry now, both personally and for the good of his nation.
Mentioned this to Mrs WBill and her comment was that "His job is to be a dilettante. He's going to be King of England."
Fair Point, sez me.
I like his wife, you can tell a lot about a man from his wife. And, I'd not like to live in a fishbowl, like either of them. Hard to live a decent life with 1000 photographers tracking your every move, waiting for you to look even slightly foolish.
Part of the problem is the government in the UK has decided to privatize the search and rescue operations of the RAF to save money - he apparently doesn’t like that idea.
