William's Wales team 'own goal' plays into hands of those who don't want him as prince

Yes, you'd expect Prince William as president of the FA to visit thebefore they set off for Qatar, but where was his visit to see the Wales team? He is now, after all, the Prince of Wales.

As he visited the Senedd in Cardiff, the heart of Welsh democracy, his team no doubt keen to avoid any tricky political conversations in public, it was the other controversial subject of football that it seems tripped him up. His advisers would argue that he has always very publicly been an England supporter, and would we really expect him to completely change allegiances.

But on a day which was billed as a chance for him to find out what really matters to people in Wales, and an important moment for building connections, he could have done more to show support for the national team.. It is the first time they've reached the World Cup in 64 years. And that may be a problem for William and his team, as it's opened up the debate about his title to a much bigger audience.

Isn’t he the prince of Wales?

The way I see it, it's supporting a team to go to a country that isn't exactly on the best treatment list. Shows his personality.

If someone wants to give me the money and title, I'll happily support any team. Including Man Utd for that kind of life he has.

He is the prince of Wales if he didnt support is realm loads would be getting on his case. He can't win.

Ridiculous and meaningless nonsense. Does anybody actually give a shit?

Does he though... 🤔

Divided loyalties? Really? What a load of hogwash. The guy just wants to support his own country. What's wrong with that? Just get rid of the archaic insulting title.

Does he go for England, or Wales, a place where he has been declared prince.... A title that is designed to suppress the Welsh people and keep them in their place. Who will he support 🤔

🥱

Lol, the Kensington Palace PR machine is a mess. I bet it didn't even occur to Prince William or his team that this position would be problematic.

who cares.

Himself

Why not publish the how many £millions each of the famous celebs were paid by Qatar to say they thought it was a great place to host the World Cup. Absolute unthinkable sums of 💰
