It wouldn't be so bad if the marry band of apologists for Will & Kate's lazy, ingratiating behavior weren't making excuses for them left and right.

The "past royal presidents" were Anne, Philip, and Dickie Mountbatten. All three have or had significant royal careers. Philip used to travel a lot for the WWF, accompanying QEII, and other things. Anne still travels for Save the Children and for the Foreign Office. Dickie Mountbatten had retired from the military when he became president of what is now BAFTA, but he also was president of the United World Colleges organization, which is where Leonor attended.

What is William doing with all his free time? Oh, yes. Vacation! He was on vacation five weeks ago, so it's time for another week off!

In the Caribbean!

Yeah, LCC has a really long tweet and only what's shown above is relevant. Will & Kate & kids are heading to Mustique for half-term, according to Lady Colin Campbell.

Yeah, the irony of critiquing Meghan for heading up to Vancouver & back from California when the Waleses are heading to Mustique, which is part of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines!

It's about a nine-hour trip one way to Mustique. Who really is the big spender on a carbon footprint when it only takes three hours to fly from Los Angeles, CA, to Vancouver, BC?

Am I really supposed to believe that Will & Kate & kids are flying commercial all the way to Mustique and back? It's three times the length of flying from from LA to Vancouver. We know they fly private, regardless of whether it's Pippa's husband's jet or their own rented jet.

But hey, we're not going to get proof of life by Will or Kate until they come back and do an engagement somewhere. After they've spent a week "restoring" themselves in the Caribbean.

Somehow Kate is going to keep wearing her funeral wear when she comes back and does ONE engagement per week. If she can work harder, it might be two. Maybe. I'm not going to hold my breath.

I can't wait to see how long Kate can go without a handbag at her engagements. Will she have a handbag next time even if it's a "recycle," or will she go without to avoid more discussion of how many she has? It's going to be interesting either way. The fact that she has not appeared with a new one in the last couple of weeks means KP knows the heat is on. In these times of economic turmoil, it's not a good look to be known as The UK's Marie Antoinette! If she didn't want to be known as that, then she would have to work more. But therein lies the problem, the Rich Party Girl aversion to work.

Or BIG BLUE. She wore BIG BLUE when she visited a prison back in September 2023, but she couldn't wear it this week? Why? I'm really back to Kate had to wear that ring for the past thirteen years due to her husband's mommy issues, and she's not wearing it much in the future anymore because she wants to do her jewelry her way.

Still no announcement that Kate or William is going to be issuing royal warrants anytime soon. No announcement of an application period opening up for them this spring yet.

I am so not surprised.

Baliceaux Island, St Vincent & The Grenadines,

Baliceaux is a small, privately owned Caribbean island and is one of the Grenadines chain of islands which lie between the larger islands of Saint Vincent and Grenada.

Located 4 miles away from the bliss many celebrities call home, Baliceaux is a short boat ride from Bequia and Mustique.
