Royals

No more than anyone who watches the news Ana

I watch the news, but must have missed the bit about Prince William reducing his hours...

He must have reduced them recently then because he was doing 80 hrs per month in Feb this year.

You obviously missed it Ana

Merlotgran I have no idea when he cut his hours, the press were calling him work shy Will because of the reduction in his hours and the fact he did very few royal duties, in fairness he didn't make stupid excuses , just said he wanted to spend time with his children

'The press'? Oh well that will be impartial and accurate!

If this is the article you mean Anniebach you've cut his hours in half.

Very kind of you anniebach - anything you can do for the rest of us?
although I must confess I didn't do a lot today

I did say the press made the allegations and he gave the interview, it was the interview I referred to, certainly wouldn't read the express , dreadful newspaper,

Is The Telegraph alright then?

#probablynot

I am still waiting for permission to halve my hours
(means I will probably do nothing tomorrow )

I could buy the Sunday Telegraph and read it, would take all day.

Never read the torygraph Merlotgran, but thank you

So, we can assume that it was only the left-wing press that was calling him 'work-shy Will'...

Ana, I haven't time to play your baiting games, I repeat it was said in the tv interview, got that? .tv interview which involves two people, one asking the questions and the other chosing or not choosing to give the answers. I am not one who takes 'sources close to' quoted in the press as always truthful

The Royal Family are a huge tourist draw.

What are number of tourists in July, August and September obieone , not combined ,

Agree obieone

I keep thinking this thread is about our local football team. #royalberkshire

I knew this would run and run and run and run ......

If they are a huge tourist draw why do we have so many tourists in London during August when there are no windsors there ?

and run and run and run ........

Castles, history, palaces, pomp, the list goes on.

Yes obieone, but not the Windsor family, we would still have our history if they lived a less decadent life style

sigh.................

Anniebach

Stop asking sensible questions, it spoils a thread.

As I understand it an act of parliament can rid us of this waste of space, so would we vote for a political party that mentioned this in their manifesto.

I would [disgusted].

We haven't heard much from the Monster Raving Loony party lately have we?
