Do y\u2019all want to hear the most hilariously stupid royal plot ever? Prince William and Kate, two desperate losers, are now scheduled to attend World Rugby Cup matches in France this coming weekend, the same weekend as the start of the Invictus Games. Prince Harry used to be the royal patron of English rugby, but it was taken away from him and given to Kate. Meanwhile, the whole-ass Football Association President was too lazy to attend the Women\u2019s World Cup when England was in the final! But suddenly, William is very keen to go to France and watch rugby. Kensington Palace\u2019s excuses for why William couldn\u2019t fly to Australia for the World Cup: he can\u2019t go anywhere before his father AND environmental concerns. Meanwhile, Peg and Buttons will be traveling to France before King Charles, and you know private planes are involved.<\/p>\n
\nThe Prince and Princess of Wales are to travel to France to cheer on England and Wales in the men\u2019s Rugby World Cup, just weeks after the Prince faced a backlash for missing the Lionesses\u2019 historic final. The couple\u2019s brief sporting trip clashes with the start of the Duke of Sussex\u2019s Invictus Games in Germany.<\/p>\n
The Princess of Wales, who is patron of the Rugby Football Union, will attend a group stage match between England and Argentina at the Stade de Marseille on Saturday \u2013 the first weekend of the tournament. The Prince of Wales, patron of the Welsh Rugby Union, will watch Wales compete against Fiji in another opening-round match at the Stade de Bordeaux on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The Duke of Sussex is travelling from the US, with the Duchess of Sussex joining him later in the week, for the duration of the Invictus tournament \u2013 his pride and joy which he founded as a Paralympic-style competition to help wounded and sick ex-military personnel. He will take to the stage in Dusseldorf at a grand opening ceremony on Saturday to kick off the eight-day event.<\/p>\n
Later the same evening, the Princess will also be in continental Europe, in neighbouring France, while the Prince\u2019s appearance on Sunday falls on the first day of Invictus\u2019 competitive events. Kensington Palace said no further appearances are planned for the Prince and Princess while they are in France.<\/p>\n
William and Kate\u2019s excursion to support the two men\u2019s sides in the first stage comes after the Prince was criticised for deciding not to attend the women\u2019s England team\u2019s World Cup football final against Spain in Sydney last month.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
[From The Telegraph]<\/p>\n
Again, it\u2019s not like the Welsh team or English team are in the quarterfinals or semis or even the finals. They\u2019re making a point of going to group-stage matches just to \u201ccompete\u201d with Harry and the Invictus Games. They\u2019re also making a point of showing that they don\u2019t give a f–k about women athletes – William still hasn\u2019t visited with the Lionesses or hosted a congratulatory event for the Lionesses at Windsor Castle or Kensington Palace. William will only show up for male athletes and he\u2019ll only do it to compete with his brother. Desperate, pathetic, juvenile losers. <\/p>\n
