Lord of Cowley said:
Again - all one has to do is look through this thread and realize that most of the pictures are of them 'relaxing.' I really don't think they work that hard. Period.
And, no one has been able to counter my claim that the two Princes don't appear as self-sacrificing as their grandparents, great-grandparents and great-great grandparents.
Period.
May I ask what you do when you are not at work - in general terms only by the way?
Presumably you spend your time relaxing, being with your family and friends, playing sports, going out, etc.
As the princes are full time army officers that is their work - to train and to perform the tasks associated with being full time commissioned officers. Accordingly the photographers don't have access to them to take photos of them, except doing runs. Would you really like to see photos of them doing administrative duty in the guard room, inspecting their troops, firing a weapon, training themselves etc.
When not doing that - their full time job - they seem to spend their time relaxing, being with their family and friends, playing sports, going out etc - exactly as I do and I assume that most of us do when not doing our full time jobs.
Unfortunately, as they are second and third in line to the throne, when they do these sorts of things the photographers are there and publish these photos.
I see nothing wrong with these young men spending their off duty time with their friends, doing the sorts of things I do (admittedly I don't go to clubs but I do spend time with my friends and family).
What would you have them do when not doing their full time job?
Do you have any idea of the difficulty of being a full time army officer? If so you would understand why they relax so much away from their duty.
