Sorry but when you have an extreme life of privilege in return for a ceremonial role, attending church once in a blue moon isn't too much to ask.
[.....] William hasn't even stepped up to the basic role of Prince of Wales. Yeah you have kids, guess what people work with kids. If the royal family is going to downsize, then those left actually need to step up and do their work.
Okay so they spend Easter at Amner. There is a church there. Go to Easter church. Even people who aren't overly religious, go to church on holidays. Yes Charles rarely went to church at Windsor before king at Easter. But he went. Durham, York, etc he went on Easter.
Charles: in his time as POW created his own foundation and used the time to devote to his own personal passions as Prince, when not also having to do ceremonial roles as monarch.
William: as prince of Wales is playing part time royal 'well I am not monarch yet' and while they have their foundation, its basically just a way to organize other people's charities they are patrons of.
The way to show 'its a monarchy of the future' is not to 'we do less for as much money if not more'. Its modernized ways of doing work.
re: the part I have highlighted: Do they? I never go to Church, I worship in private. Who's to say William won't go to church tomorrow or worship privately? And why compare William with Charles? They are two different people living different lives. William is his own man, not a Charles clone.

As I've said in previous posts, William is visible if anyone chooses to see him; or they can choose not to, or find fault with what he does, and criticise instead. Bear in mind also the words of another poster who mentioned the importance of quality over quantity.
None of us have any idea of what goes on behind the scenes, there may be a very good reason why the Wales family won't be with the King tomorrow that we probably haven't even considered; but it's all too easy to use it as an excuse to have a go them, as per.
Wait until William is King. If he doesn't go to church without good reason at Easter, then I'll be asking questions myself (I can't see it happening as William has always impressed me with his dedication to his destiny and his duty).
Lastly there is a separate thread specifically for discussing thoughts about William's suitability for Kingship, I believe this thread is for news relating to the Wales family.
