Good Chums and better booze. Course he is going to be relaxed

 

[cepe]

I don't think he's back on duty yet. There is this weekend away and the Anglesey show next week.

 

[GracieGiraffe]

With all the nutrients in those baby formulas, I'll bet it's a great cure for a hangover.

Don't flip out, that's a joke.

 

[QueenMathilde]

I think it's wrong for the media to say Catherine gave William permission to go. Most likely these plans are made in advance and they know about it.

I don't see where they get the impression that he's hen-pecked and she calls all the shots. Look at the way they behaved when they came out of the hospital - he turned to her, told her to hand him the baby, walked down the steps holding the baby with her in tow, told her where to stand and answered questions. Then he was the one who put the baby in the car. I'm not saying he's bossy or anything but he doesn't seem like a weak willed type person. In the past people who knew him said he was stubborn once his mind was set.

I watch the video and she ask him if he wanted to hold the baby when they were at the door of the hospital.

@RE_DailyMail: The Cambridges will leave Anglesey mid September after William's stint there as an RAF Search and Rescue pilot ends...new career plans tbc

 

[Dman]

The people of Anglesey have treated have welcomed and treated the Cambridge's very nicely. I'm sure they enjoyed their time there.

They make it sound definite, but there has been no official statement

 

[Dman]

An official announcement may be on the way.

Except he does finish in September just like everyone else he's working with. He has no more options in Anglesey. So it's back to London or RAF desk job was it?

Except he does finish in September just like everyone else he's working with. He has no more options in Anglesey. So it's back to London or RAF desk job was it?

Choices are:

Reduced term (ie end before privatisation) with another SAR unit, most probably Wattisham (not expected by the media). This would be a continued secondment
from the army

Return to his regiment (based at either London or Windsor) in an admin role - probably Adjutent to Colonel. Good management role. Also would get time off for royal duties. Time off for other activities is not unusual - good example would be members of the military who are sportswo/men and who represent their country.

Give up the military and be a full-time royal.

2nd option favourite with the media

Thanks for the links everyone. I think this is the first time I've heard William attempt Welsh.

William shares his father's bravery when it comes to dealing with birds I see.. Not a chance I would do that.
As always, love seeing William with kids.

William was given a 1954 replica tractor today and remarked:'George will love playing with this.And my brother will too! #harry #boystoys

 

[AdmirerUS]

Here's a shot with the teenager his team rescued: http://cache4.asset-cache.net/gc/17...RwDtAAGJeyLmAUVCBaavWV0mO6go7b6jU9uRAMHPILw==

It was memorable because they made it to the scene in 38 seconds - a record, apparently. The Duke is leaving a legacy behind him!

And of course, because they saved the young woman.

And it appears William is undertaking his fair share of night feeds.'I'm getting my head down during the day,' he said. #princegeorge

Last word on Anglesey: he's clearly loving being a dad, but the endless sleepless nights appear to have left William a little baggy-eyed!

 

[cepe]

No wonder people get the wrong end of the stick:-

William (re Tour of Australia) - " we are hoping to go there next year"

Daily Telegraph " Prince George will travel to Australia next year"

 

[Lumutqueen]

Isn't Aus/NZ confirmed?

 

[cepe]

Isn't Aus/NZ confirmed?

no it isnt. Its been mentioned as a possibility but I wouldnt have thought wed get any confirmation until after the Australian election.

 

[Iluvbertie]

It is all speculation and as has been said nothing will be confirmed until after the election with the possibiity of a pro-republican PM retaining office or a more monarchist PM winning office (assuming they both win their own seats of course - and I have seen no suggestion that they won't but it could happen). Sometime after that an invitation may be sent to BP but then again maybe it won't be sent and they can't come without an invitation.

 

[royalistbert]

They can come on a private visit but not offically.

 

[Skippyboo]

I am sure New Zealand would be more than ready to host William, Kate and George's first trip.

 

[Daria_S]

You and me both! I leave the birds of prey to those who are brave, or insane, or both . William and children; always a winning combination.

"He is due to leave the base at the end of September. Kensington Palace has not confirmed what he will do next. He and Kate are expected to undertake one more public duty on the island before they leave."

I guess we have an official engagement for William & Catherine coming up in Anglesey.

 

[AdmirerUS]

Maybe just the final walk through and damage assessment on the rental so they get their security deposit back.

 

[Dman]

Lol, it will be great to see them on official duty again.
