I think this visit has been "hyped" up to be some massive change in Williams career, all the Shadow King articles mention this trip and honestly I don't think thats what William or the palace wanted for this trip.
He will be met by a lot of female fans and some hardcore royalists, but I suppose like the Canada trip it will spark referendum talk. :smile: |
