As a member of the Armed Forces, drawing a salary, his first obligation is to his employer, who in this day and age, is the taxpayer.
To keep getting time off to play a game of polo, means that there may be parts of training that he will miss, possibly containing information he may need if he is going to do his job properly. Men and Women could be relying on him and the decisions he may have to make. How can any of 'his' men or women respect someone who got his pips but, didn't even do the course, that got his rank based solely on who he is? :confused:

I think you're right but I think the point may be lost on those not familiar to the military which is a large part of the population.

Does anyone think that Prince William play anymore polo games after July while at Sandhurst?

I don't think he will.

I don't know much about polo, but is polo a year round sport? And, did he play along with Harry at the Cartier polo match? Finally, now that both he and Harry collect a paycheck, I guess they both also get an allowance from their father so they can still play polo as it is an expensive sport to be part of.
 
In England Polo is only played between April and September.

These were nothing to do with RMAS (as far as I know) 7/05/06 - Audi Challenge, 28/06/06, 1/07/06 - Charity, 05/07/06.

The Polo game on 15/07/06 was The Rundle Cup and was Sandhurst related.

I think it is this Friday (11/08) as I know someone who started there last September and it's the ball that night.

William started training on the 9th January 2005 so he will pass out in December and I'm sure we will see the same amount of media interest and photo's that Harry got.

Officer cadets do not march in the parade until their own passing out. William will probably be sat on the benches, the same as he was for his brothers parade.

As William always generates a lot of media interest, I expect we will see some photo's, from someone. :rolleyes:

Harry marched in the December 2005 parade and than his own in April 2006.

We seem to have been talking at cross purposes. Yes you are right, he will march this time as he is in his 2nd term. :flowers:

Outside the story about the phone scam, I guess I'm a busy body and snoopy and want to know what the reporter and Prince William had to discuss at their meeting...and what is this I hear about someone's knee surgery.:ermm:

Maybe William just pushed his weight around. I know when I was in basic training here in the US, we had our troop leaders yell us down right up to our noses etc. This was women's training. I heard training for the men is more stressful. Oh well, maybe Wills gets to feeling better when he raises up to his 'royal standing' and makes complaints about things.:ohmy:

Wait, I thought William was just standing there when the boot-stomping happened. I haven't heard anything about his being involved otherwise.

One of my mob was wearing his boots when the instructor sprinkled gravel on them and proceeded to 'grind' it in. It has always happened and like in the USA, instructors shouting and making life hell is normal. :rolleyes:

From what I understand, William didn't have anything to do with the situation at all, other than being a witness just like all the other trainees standing there.

Does anyone know to which articles in the News of the World about "intimate" phone conversations or messages of Prince William to Kate Middleton today's papers are refering in their reports about the current phone affair?

As it seems that the contents of the articles were quite well-founded this time I'd love to learn waht William said... <grin>

That's what The Times - Online is reporting today at http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-2307604,00.html


Scotland Yard was called in last November to investigate complaints that three key officials at Clarence House, who liaise daily with the princes, had been targeted by hackers. But in the ensuing months the princes continued to use their telephones, with some of their text messages to their girlfriends being reprinted in the News of the World.

End of quote.

I wonder what made them do this - it sounds incredibly stupid to go on writing messages to their girlfriends knowing there is a good chance these might turn up in the press. Especially if it was done by Diana's sons!

I checked and found that last november there were several pics and reports of private outings of William and Kate, very low-key events where they met to have dinner in a pub or went out into a private club. Plus there were reports that William planned to hire a private plane to fly him from christmas at Sandringham to a visit with Kate in case the queen wouldn't allow Kate to join in the festivities.
There was one report about prince Harry clubbing.

I guess it had helped to know in advance where the princes would turn up for private outings in town.... Maybe someone else finds more?
So I am not sure if they didn't use their knowledge to communicate these messages. Does anyone know anything about the contents? :)
