spyinthesky Posted 28 May, 2019 Share Posted 28 May, 2019 I must admit to possessing a modest degree of support for the monarchy and, as such, feel that the Duke of Cambridge's support of Aston Villa shows him in a good light. It would have been so easy to express support of one of the bigger clubs but he decided to (enthusiastically it seems) attach himself to a middle order club. Compare this to David Cameron and Tony Blair who, with politicians view on self publicity, reckoned they were respectively Villa and Newcastle fans. Cameron even became confused which team in claret & blue he supported and, at one stage, thought he was an 'Ammers fan!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted 28 May, 2019 Share Posted 28 May, 2019 Whilst I've got no personal interest in the Monarchy, Will and Harry do seem to be relatively humble and likable, from the outside at least. That said, the crown's PR team aren't stupid and they know waving at your subjects from a golden carriage doesn't quite cut it in the 21st Century. The whole Cameron/WHam/Villa thing was pretty cringey and completely unnecessary. Your average Wetherspoon's punter isn't going to be fooled by some Eaton boy telling them he does, "rather like the soccer ball." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgerx16 Posted 28 May, 2019 Share Posted 28 May, 2019 Seeing him hugging John Carew at the final whistle was entertaining, and he certainly looked as if he was going through the emotional wringer in the last few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
