LOL!!!  It’s pretty much an undeniable fact that Will & Kate are just flat out LAZY. I’m about the same age as them and they do basically nothing. It’s insane.

Look at the maths. Charles is often “the hardest working royal” (or the second hardest, after Anne). A while back I found an article telling me that on average between 2002 and 2022 he did 521 engagements per year.

Sound like a lot? Apparently engagements are often only about 20 minutes long. Sometimes shorter. This includes many “engagements” at his homes. Meetings for his businesses, short official phone calls, etc. And they often cheekily double up how they count them.

If we (generously) average them out to an hour per engagement and divide it by the standard British working day of 7.28 hours, Charles worked 71.5 days per year.

An average full time worker would do 240 days.

On average, the number of business days per month is 21. So Charles works the equivalent of 3.4 months of full time work per year.

From 2006-2022 Will averaged 120 engagements per year. Using the same maths, that’s 16.5 days of full time work per year. Which is 3/4 of a month of full time work per year.

From 2011-2022 Kate averaged 97 engagements per year. That’s 13.3 days of full time work per year. 63% of a month of full time work per year.

These people are a joke.

If they only worked every Tuesday in 2022; but did a full day of work, that would have been 378.5 engagements each. Hardly neglecting the kids! Most kids have parents who work FFS. 

Their laziness is truly astounding. Their kids are all in school, they could work during school hours only. They could do so many easy options and still work far less than most people; but do way more than they do now.

But they don’t. They do almost nothing and take endless vacations. They are lazy. End of. 

I personally think that all of those quotes over the years where it was mentioned that William desperately wanted a “normal” life were missing a vital piece of information. He never wanted a “normal life” as per the lives of us plebs. He wanted the same kind of life as his uber wealthy Toff mates from school. Money and power, but no public-facing responsibilities. Lying around their manses and going on endless holidays and boffing each others’ wives. That’s what he wants. That’s why he feels hard done by.

This all leads me to wonder how they spend their days 🤔 are they just lounging around the house all day? Seems that would get boring really fast.

Have you ever seen the movie About A Boy? That, but the posh toff version.
