It's an exageration to say this. Anne is not the only exception, but even Anne has some patronages she doesn't care much about on a personal level. I think, honestly, that Anne's approach is more the rule, less the exception, and you aren't giving her relations enough credit.

Well exactly. If you stay at home you can drink out of the dog's bowl and collapse in the middle of a conga and nobody minds. I certainly wouldn't mind throwing a little do at somewhere as lush as Clarence House and William has quite a few other residences on hand where he could go to for pleasure. Why not Fort Belvedere or whatever that ghastly folly of the Duke of Windsor's was called? I have to say that I'm not a natural night clubber so I don't see the appeal of doing the whole club thing but I think if I were William, I might be even more repulsed by a club than I am now. I'd just find it quite irritating that I couldn't dance and have fun without people taking photographs on their phones etc. Did William snort vodka as well? I must say I find this fashion for putting drinks up noses quite repulsive. I knew the rich were depraved but honestly.....

"The Fort," or else known by George V as "that queer old place!"

For me, the evil of nightclubs extend as far as the noise, the awful smoke everywhere, and the sweaty disgusting drunks. And these awful places like Boujis, with their R&B tunes.... enough said. I hope William has not snorted vodka, and also hope he has had the sense to tell Harry not to do it again.

R&B tunes are probably about the best thing about those clubs. Certainly better than the Abba's greatest hits--enough to make ME snort vodka.

[BeatrixFan]

Possibly. Yes, it is an exaggeration. I should have said it's more a mix of charities they care about and charities that boost the numbers. All due credit to her relations and an apology.

[BeatrixFan]

Well, we have no smoke in clubs anymore as part of the smoking ban but I agree, I can't see the appeal of booming music etc. What is the reason for snorting vodka? Is it dangerous?

Well, I think it has no reason, as "reason" implies logic. Apparently stupid kids do it because of some "immediate rush" effect, and it has a quicker inebriating effect than drinking it the normal way.
But honestly, doesn't it sound painful?! I understand it to be dangerous. It can have long-term damage on the nose. I guess when you become as tolerant of alcohol as some of these kids, doing normal vodka shots is too slow to have effect, but for me it still does the trick quite nicely, so I won't have any of these "vodka tubes" thank you very much.

I cannot understand why Prince Charles doesn't advise his son on his behaviour or even the Queen so traditional in some way and regarding his grandsons doesn't do nothing!!!! There are ways to make our sons understand thet they need to behave, this time will pass and they will regret everything they do now!

[susan alicia]

they are behaving normally in my view and excactly because this time will pass, (they will not be wanting to stick a wineglass on their breast when they are in their thirties, perhaps not even in their late twenties), they will not regret having a good time. And they will regret it if they lose the opportunity to join in the fun with their companions.

He could be doing much worse things, there often are callgirls in these gatherings of young men, but none there as we can see, he is just behaving silly with his mates.

Was your mommy and daddy sending you to your room at 25 when you had a bender at the club?

True.... On the one hand, I can understand biboquinhas, because some kids in their 20s get out of hand and end up regretting their behavior as they mature. But on the other hand, for a parent to take a firm hand in dealing with a 20-something kid is potentially very counterproductive and disastrous. There could be a rebellious response that would be much more regrettable than present behavior.

No special thread for Kate to put news or pics??? Could you re open it please???

[ysbel]

We're monitoring this thread to see how many current events William and Kate are actually having. So far there's been one sighting coming out of a club which isn't a lot. There may be more down the line, then of course we will re-evaluate.

[Elspeth]

I've moved some posts to the Duties and Roles of the Princes thread and some to the Harry/Wills and the Press thread. Some of the posts weren't specific to just one topic (the Princes' duties, their relationship with the press, and current events of William and Kate), so the threads are a bit messy at the moment. If you could choose the appropriate thread for further comments, with luck things will settle down a bit and the threads will get back on course.

What about supporting the English Rugby team in France instead? It's a shame nobody from the BRF shows up Seems that reaching the semifinals is not important enough to interrupt a private schedule.

Well, the Princess Royal attended one of Scotland's games, as patron of Scottish Rugby Union. I doubt Prince William would go to an English rugby match, because he might be criticized, seeing what happened the last time he was seen to support England over Wales.

Well he goes to the english football cup final and besides, England is the last remaining nation of Great Britain in the competition. I doubt they will become world champion but if they do I bet the royals will queue up to attend the honor ceremony a few days later.
