Last Friday (March 1st) was St. David’s Day. Prince William, the Prince of Wales, went to Wales to mark the day in honor of the patron saint of Wales. One of the weirdest things about William’s Friday events is that he actually had several smaller events, all in a row, but he started his day in a Wrexham pub, taking shots and pulling pints with an American actor, Rob McElhenney. Like, shouldn’t that come at the end of the day? I guess William wanted to have a buzz for his next events, including a trip to an elementary school. Anyway, here’s more about just how liquor-soaked William’s first event was:
The Prince of Wales has celebrated St David’s Day by pulling a “terrible” pint in the pub made famous by Welcome to Wrexham, the television series. The programme charts the fortunes of Wrexham Football Club under its new Hollywood owners, the actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. Visiting the Turf pub, William and McElhenney chatted behind the bar while the prince tried his hand at being the barman.
Pulling a pint of lager which was mostly froth, William described his efforts as “horrendous”, adding: “That might settle in a couple of hours, talk among yourselves. It’s still got a horrible head on it, that’s why I don’t work behind the bar.”
The landlord joked that William was “terrible”, but felt he could “soon knock him into shape”.
McElhenney referred to his role in It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, a TV show, and said: “I play a bartender but I’m not actually a bartender.” He then poured a shot of whisky and said: “This is much easier.”
William also told McElhenney that he ‘loves’ cider. After he poured a poor pint, he downed a shot instead and joked ‘That’s a better idea. I like the stronger stuff’.
Ryan Reynolds was in New York and could not be present while he edits the next Deadpool film, but MailOnline understands he hopes to meet William later this year. McElhenney told William that Reynolds had wanted to be there today, but the Prince [said]: ‘Because Ryan’s not here you can tell him I think Hugh Jackman is funnier.’
[From The Daily Mail & The Times]
“Because Ryan’s not here you can tell him I think Hugh Jackman is funnier.” William thinks he’s being so witty but whenever he tries to make these kinds of friendly-banter jokes, he comes across as arrogant, mean, ungrateful, spiteful and stupid. Probably because he is all of those things. When I tweeted out the bar story on Friday, it became one of my most-viewed tweets (ever) – people were really outraged that William would rather booze it up with American actors than attend his godfather’s memorial service. Plus, the optics of William staggering around at yet another daytime event while his wife has been missing for over two months is still a really poor choice from Kensington Palace. Last week would not have gone so badly for William if he had simply attended his godfather’s memorial service. But now it just looks like William is too much of a lightweight, that he’s so unserious that he can only do events like “be a dumbass at the BAFTAs” and “get drunk with an actor in Wales.”

I’m starting to think William has total vacuum between the ears.
I think it’s sawdust.
“If I only had a brain…”
It’s why his natural hair is gone. Nature abhors a vacuum.
A skull full of hair, now that’s an image.
Oh gad!
I will now and forever equate “dumb as a box of hair” to Prince Peg.
Such a weirdo
Willy rocking up soused to an elementary school gig is absolutely on brand for that pillock.
Mike said Cain was a light weight drinker, when everyone knows Cain was drinking from the age of eleven or younger.
Yes he started young I think it was wine but it is obvious he moved on to the hard stuff. Now he says out loud that he likes hard stuff and he says it so proudly that you know Peg has a problem and it explains something’s. He says these things at events. He is showing us his global drunk statesman.
@susan I am starting to feel that this is staged on purpose because he is always on the sauce. When he did an even that had no bar and it was to give some kind of awards he seemed hungover. With bits like this you can’t tell when it started and it’s suppose to make him relatable but I feel he is just always hungover and this is the only way they can mask his odd behavior and hangovers.
I like to drink and tend to have the attitude that if someone is functional and not hurting others, I don’t care if they’re heavy drinkers. (I know a lot of people disagree with me on that point, but I empasize *not hurting others*). But public heavy drinking in the midst of a family crisis is a very weird choice.
@Bettyrose I agree we are adults and do what we chose but he wasn’t even doing this a few months ago. The word is that he is a light weight. It looks like he is on a bender and yes a bender in the middle of several family crises and one tragedy. He is a mess.
@Yupyup – I think that’s exactly what’s happening. I don’t know if I believe that he’s a lightweight given the evidence he’s been drinking since his young teens, but publicly drinking like a college kid on break while his father is sick and his wife is theoretically in recovery, and three young children are probably in need of strong parental guidance? Something is very very off here.
It’s like William subconsciously wants everyone to see him as a lazy, drunken buffoon.
He’s really leaning in and embracing the drinking persona. We get it, okay.
I wonder if he did this event first, in the morning, so that his drunkenness & reaking of alcohol, would be explained/have a legitimate reason.
Probably thinks this makes him ‘one of the lads’. Yeah, great look for the FK–bog-standard drunken lout.
He reminds me of an awkward teenager trying to gain the approval of the “cool” kids. “Yeah I drink all the time! I like hard stuff, man!” He thinks these types of comments and behaviours will make him be seen in a favourable light but they don’t. When others (like his brother) do more casual events, there is still some substance to their appearance…the charitable or philanthropic cause is front and centre. William doesn’t do a good job of “shining a spotlight” on these things, in this case the town of Wrexham or the team. The takeaway from the appearance is “hey look, I’m a drunk”.
Good point, I’m not sure I even know what the purpose of that appearance was. He’s the POW, that’s a pub in Wales, that’s a Welsh team, and…. That’s it?
I actually think that’s the point – it’s the opposite of Harry. The British media is driving a narrative that Harry’s all woke, therapy Californian and probably no longer drinks but micro-doses on mushrooms and talks about vibes, so they are positioning Wills to be the opposite – a hard man who drinks proper British booze and say nothing but goes home to beat his wife like all those workers/peasants he owns (a terrible caricature but one that’s survived).
I also think it was a way to cover up how much he reeks of booze during the rest of the day.
I was going to say he’s like a slimmer George IV, but George IV at least knew how to dress.
He wants to be “a lad’s lad.” But he’s a grown father of three and future head of state. He has no dignity or common sense. That country is screwed.
As I understand it, a lad is the British version of the American Bro. And Bros are often in high powered careers with spouses and children, but the defining characteristic is eternal adolescence.
Imagine a woman with children and a career getting publicly drunk and being loud, obnoxious, hitting on young dudes, whatever. Imagine the scorn.
He is a frat boy and too stupid to understand it is not as cool as he thinks it is.
Lol Williams team is staffed by the gophers laid off from Kate’s wig maintenance because you can’t tell me any professional would agree for their client to go to a bar and take shots directly before going to an elementary school. Also he’s one of those people who’s such a charm vacuum, that he literally thinks being mean is being funny. He probably legitimately thinks he was being funny, which is also why he probably doesn’t realize everyone else views how he used to talk to and about Harry in interviews as cruel instead of ” big brother banter”. I can only imagine the things he probably used to say and still does say about Kate, that were supposed to be ” funny”.
TFriendly cover on st David’s day. As to why he was drunk the entire day.
One more days event done to scramble to Monday. Love that Cams is also exiting the stage next week. Bring on Act 111
Expose
There were some pro-Will comments on that story on CB. They also said he did other events too. But I didn’t know, he did THIS first? Who on his team came up with this brilliant idea? He looks like he is drinking a lot on the photos, then he went to do other events? Did he want to do this to show he can handle his drink because Mike was talking sh*t about how lightweight he is? All of these are soo weird. Maybe, they told us the truth about his wife and everything, but it is very obvious there is something wrong with his decision making skills.
Mike let the cat out of the bag, one pint will is a dig. Mike Zara and Auntie Ann are phased out. Everyone else had left the stage to let William squirm. Even camellia is taking a step back next week. It’s going down whatever we all have been speculating, divorce.
Whats also telling is that Mike then said he had to apologise to ‘One Pint Willy’ after that comment was made – someone is a sensitive little snowflake.
I agree. Sophie and Ed out of country, Ann out of country, Camilla taking off til Commonwealth service. Perhaps to re emerge after the shakeup is announced . Things in place constitutional, done without eggplants knowledge, haz knows maybe even had to sign something in person, next week the bomb will drop on eggplant and everyone is safely not at home
@Sevenblue the big problem for the Firm is the product. Last week everything blew up because Willy couldn’t be bothered, once again, to show up for the Memorial event. The panic about Kate, the awful optics of Andrew’s paunch leading the RF and the spotlight of why is Willy ducking and diving can all be laid at FK’s feet because he failed to keep calm and carry on. Kate’s absence may only be temporary but the permanent problem is her husband’s failure to convince that he has the judgement, ability and willingness to be king.
Yep @sevenblue he went from the pub & soccer to a school then met with a widow. I mean, if I’m being suuuuuuper generous it could have been scheduling-related that he was downing shots before meeting kids. But considering his past behavior I’m not inclined to be generous.
Deuxmoi- Prince Charming. lol 😂
Cheater-
Who is protecting him? It isn’t charlie, the men in grey or the Roto? Thumbing around drunk, is it his dutchy $ and better lawyers than pa and tampon gate? This doesn’t make sense! Who has this guys back and WHY? And can her blinds even be trusted.
Like Kaiser said William’s a lightweight.
All I know is that I hope Ryan Reynolds is next seen doing something with Harry. Something for Invictus Whistler (since Ryan is Canadian, right?) or just some other collaboration. And maybe Pegs even knew this and that’s why he made the dig at Ryan R. He just comes across as so incredibly insecure and nasty.
I’m enjoying Pegs’s self-inflicted downward spiral with his continued day drinking and cruel “jokes.” Whatever is coming (and please – as others are speculating it’s the reason Camzilla fled town – let it be this week!), I hope it’s huge and takes this boorish asshole down. Karma seems to be working her way closer and closer to this man-child and I hope she reaches him soon.
For some reason your comment made me think of William going to the next Deadpool movie premiere wearing Deadpool slippers 😂
Oh you know he’d have Deadpool slippers! And just like with Tom Cruise, he’d behave like a 4year old child pointing and showing off his big boy shoes.
I have Deadpool slippers (I’m such a nerd). And I guarantee I look more stylish, charismatic and cool wearing them in my pajamas, bed head and sipping tra first thing in the morning than he does ever.
I wouldn’t be surprised if KP requested Ryan be at this event as well.
Jais – I’m sure KP did request it and that’s why Pegs made such a rude comment about Ryan Reynolds. I just hope that RR’s absence means he’s team Sussex and not willing to sell his soul to suck up to the incandescent rage monster.
William went to an elementary school after being seen taking shots at a previous engagement? The comms team needs to be fired.
Right?
Tell me you aren’t the wholesome hands on dad you pretend to be without telling me you aren’t the wholesome hands on dad you pretend to be.
Any real hands on parent would know not to drink before going to a school function.
Fire the Comms. Team? Because of this latest incident of poor planning? Naw. I don’t think it’s just their team, I think it’s the principles, otherwise, they’d be firing whoever planned their Caribbean tour, or after William’s shoddy Bafta performance, or any number of odd events. I think, after a certain point, people have to accept that the fault lies not in their teams but with the Wales. Perhaps the Wales don’t listen to good advice when it’s offered, or maybe they just gravitate toward inadequate and ineffective people for their staff. I think it’s all of the above.
In the real world, this would result in disciplinary action. Ugh, enough with this cockwomble
Peg is one helluva Global Statesman. Drinking booze on the job, skipping an important memorial, not supporting his cancer-stricken father and last but not least, hiding his wife. His life has become satire.
And we’re all supposed to forget that when they announced Kate’s hospitalization & subsequent time off, he said he was taking time off, too. And everyone (i.e., their sycophantic press) lauded him for being the swell guy family man that he is. He can’t even keep a commitment to his own laziness!
William’s attempts at “banter” remind of of Elizabeth II and her “wicked sense of humour” which was just her making rude remarks. Ditto for Philip’s insulting and mostly racist “gaffes” and the forelock-tuggers pretending they were hilarious. You don’t have to make any effort to be funny when people will politely laugh at anything you say.
William is socially inept and a complete charisma vacuum. You can see why Harry used to be wheeled out to join him and Kate for their engagements. He’s struggling without Harry, I guess he should have treated him a bit better.
Billy idol, your not Harry, you will never be Harry! You don’t have Harry’s natural empathy, warmth and likability so give it up man.
By the way, note to KP, MAKE the lounge lizard attend important events, that’s what he’s fking paid for, and do NOT let William turn up at schools stinking of booze, he scares the kids enough as it is!!
Just a little bit of T, KP are all set to try and launch Billy in the US AGAIN. Letters are going out to some celebs that William would like to meet up with them to discuss earthshot and another venture! Dates will be confirmed nearer the date!! WTAF, has this man no shame
To answer your question, no, no he does not. That would take empathy and the ability for introspection. He has neither.
@MaryPester. So he is sending out letters to Celebs for his earthshit. Do you think he was rejected by Ryan Reynolds and that’s why he made that nasty remark about him? Peg doesn’t like rejection.
Mary Pester, oh that’s interesting. I wonder if Bully Idle will go BEFORE Bone Idle is back to work? If the Escort can leave while her hubby is having cancer treatment, I doubt it would occur to anyone to have him wait until she’s better. Really? He’s coming back to the US? I hope he intends to go to a Southern state. He’ll get some support there. I really doubt that the majority of the MAGA knows anything about him or cares.
Ugh — the Oscars are on March 10 in LA. Might his BAFTA presidency allow for his attendance (if KP is planning on foisting him on us again so soon)? If he brings Tom Cruise as his +1, all those celebrity meetings W is begging for will be easy to snag.
Another venture? He hasn’t achieved any of his prior ventures yet. And sending letters? This isn’t 1864 – does he hope to impress the celebs with a royal summons on his royal stationery? With celebs, you use your connections – if he’s pals with Tom Cruise and Cate Blanchett, he should get them to pull some strings.
Oh, for Pete’s sake. Again? This guy just doesn’t get it, we fought a war of independence over this, then there was the War of 1812, now he wants to foist his presence on Americans again?! Sweet Jesus. How many ways can the U.S. say to William “We don’t want any!”
“… It’s still got a horrible head on it..”
-Peg’s body
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!! Perfect response.
This reminds me of a scene out of P.G. Wodehouse – where Gussie Fink-Nottle drinks a quart of vodka-laced orange juice before giving out the prizes at Market Snodsbury Grammar School:
“Well, G.G. Simmons….So you’ve won the Scripture-knowledge prize, have you?”
“Sir, yes, sir.”
“Yes,” said Gussie, “you look just the sort of little tick who would. And yet,” he said, pausing and eyeing the child keenly, “how are we to know that this has all been open and above board? Let me test you, G.G. Simmons. What was What’s-His-Name–the chap who begat Thingummy? Can you answer me that, Simmons?”
“Sir, no, sir.”
“Fishy,” he said. “Very fishy. This boy appears to be totally lacking in Scripture knowledge.”
😂😂😂 I can totally see William doing this.
OMG, Wodehouse sure knew his subject!
Thank you for the Wodehouse reference. One pint Willy is such a caricature of a clueless aristocrat. It’s hard to believe anyone can actually be so lacking in self awareness.
By the way, he might have the Dutchy of Cornwall now, but he’s ruffling a few feathers down here. His favourite celebrity squeeze Kate Blanchett is in deep sht with her neighbours. She has an, ahem “eco” property down here which she has buggered around with. Extended it put walls up and it seems taken over some common land, home to wild life and flora, and has been given, (ahem) permission to extend into it and put a car park there, (just for her) to be able to access her house easier!! WTF locals are going mad and all the objections raised to the council have been ignored. I wonder why??!!
Oh wow, yeah that’s messy @mary pester. I just looked it up to find out more and found this.
https://www.cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-news/cate-blanchett-reignites-row-over-9020074
That is an eye-sore. And typical of people with money, buy the next plot over so nobody else can build there. On the other hand, they are mighty close to the cliff; good luck with that in the coming years, what with increased storms (strength & number) due to climate change.
@JAIS Yep, and about to get messier lovey. Locals are demanding meetings with Cheryl the local TORY mp to get answers as to WHO gave planning permission and, as that was supposed to be part of the council’s “wild Cornwall”, efforts, they want to know what pressure was put on the council, and by who. Freedom of information requests have gone in, and two locals are taking it to court to try and stop it going any further. Here in cornwall we hate bloody grockles with more money than respect for the countryside.
Feels like if you’re gonna move somewhere even for holiday that it’s best to not tick off the locals.
I cannot believe that I am doing this, but I do have to slightly speak up for Peg about his Ryan Reynolds/Hugh Jackman joke. The friendship and friendly rivalry between those two is well-known and very charming, and I think it was actually a funny retort. I think Ryan would have appreciated it and I bet Rob did, too.
Ugh. Okay, now off to smudge myself and cleanse my spirit.
I know, l immediately thought of that as well since it’s commonly known about the relationship between the two and the jokes and pranks they play on each other. But somehow, William’s effort to jump on the bandwagon makes it more distasteful since he’s such a wannabe. I’m more astounded that they scheduled his drinking first in the day before the other events, especially to a school.
Bantering with American actors and displaying knowledge of Hollywood A-listers after going to the BAFTAs and admitting he hadn’t watched any of the British films nominated? Still not a good look for the BAFTA president.
That may be, but it doesn’t bother me as much as his drinking heartily while his father and wife go through a healthcare crisis and prior to his other events that day. He has no sense of decorum or decency. Who wants to see him potentially swaying on his feet and reeking of liquor, especially visiting small kids. It’s just so bad.
Last time he was at a school I distinctly remember him insulting a mom’s cupcakes (to her own child).
Well at least now he’ll have an excuse.
Just been looking at the pictures of the buffoon again, yuk I know, but, I was thinking to myself, with the Royals being so fking useless, unnecessary and just plain bkeeeh I thought instead of sending this walking waste of skin out to see people, why don’t they use A. I and make a robowill, then I remembered they would have to remove the “I” part!!
But there again, would people notice?
They could make a RoboKate but people would get suspicious because it would be more animated than the real thing.
Maybe it’s just me, but if I had missed something as important as a memorial service for my godparent, especially after also having missed their funeral service, my first publicly known act would have been something focused on them or on their family, or focused on even more recently and shockingly bereaved family members. Or even just something generally kind — that struggling people could identify with, however briefly.
With Camilla stepping back for a bit, it will be interesting to see how William enjoys being in the spotlight that he’s appeared to crave for so long.
Is an even hotter and messier hot mess looming soon?
Did they schedule an “eye-opener” in order to keep him steady for the next engagements?! Whatever caused his recent disappearances from public view, it apparently wasn’t treatment for substance abuse. Is this a defiant public gesture aimed at someone who asked him to cut back? Is that what’s driving the weird public comments about his age of initiation and tolerance levels?
The optics of going to a school after doing shots… If a normal parent did that, we’d assume they had a serious drinking problem. A glass of wine or beer with lunch is one thing, but drinking hard liquor during school hours isn’t a sign of healthy choices.
“Plus, the optics of William staggering around at yet another daytime event while his wife has been missing for over two months is still a really poor choice from Kensington Palace”, I don’t know, at least he finally doing something other than pretend that he is a stay-at-home dad who takes care of his sick wife. But I agree that he is an idiot and his team must be as well because they can’t chose the good events to send him to.
All the comments below Wrexham’s post about this on twitter were very anti-William especially his use of the title Prince of Wales. Given the public displeasure of the Wrexham fans I’m not sure William has much chance of meeting Ryan Reynolds, at least not at anything involving the team.
So I’m convinced Willyboy missed the memorial because he was somewhere far, and expected a helicopter or something to fly him in, but he couldn’t get one in time.
I had thought he was just sh-tfaced and forced to stay away, but it’s clear they don’t care about that. Going to an elementary school after doing shots? F–king ludicrous.
I wonder if one of William’s problems is that he does little but watch TV when we don’t see him. We get very little insight into what he does with his time, but his most enthusiastic comments refer to shows he’s watched. I think he’s a bona fide couch potato-tv zombie.
The whole “insult comic” thing he’s got going on is the way we kids growing up watching TV sitcoms in the 70’s were after binging all week on all the zingers and put downs and barbs traded by characters on shows like “Good Times” and even the sophisticated “Mary Tyler Moore” where a good amount of dialogue was devoted to setting up one character to take a zinger from another character.
That kind of comedy persisted through even the family comedies of the 80’s and 90’s. And the ever popular “Friends” also got many laughs poking fun at one another.
And it’s one thing to let fly with some zingers with people you know well, but if you don’t let up and curb that impulse at work or in public at large it can really reflect poorly on you, because life is not a sitcom. But most of us learn this as we grow and socialize with a broader range of people and adjust to the nuances of the WORK environment.
It sounds like William has a very limited social circle of fellow snarky aristocrats and whatever heinous influence Tindall’s brand of toxic masculinity exudes from him. And again, he doesn’t seem to have any personal hobbies or interests that take him out of his set social circle and limited perspectives. Any influence Diana tried to exert to help him personally engage with other people and their circumstances seems to have faded years ago.
So, William has never felt it incumbent on himself to “read the room”. Clearly the room is supposed to read him and adjust accordingly. So everyone everywhere is subject to this one note personality stuck in sitcom character mode.
All that being said, I actually thought his zinger at Ryan Reynolds was playful and amusing given the setting and circumstances. I’m sure there’s jealousy of Harry and insecurity buried in it, but if you’re a casual observer it’s easy to miss. Unfortunately I can’t say that for most of his other quips.
All in all, this isn’t the worst we’ve seen out of him recently and sadly we are probably in store for more obvious floundering out of him. And it is sad. Because Diana really tried hard with her sons. She tried to get them to engage with people and circumstances different from their own. She tried to show them the meaning and value of empathy.
I think we have commented before on FK bagging all the pint pulling pub gigs plus food serving together with dress up skits from Mr Ben. Okay I get the short attention span and the need to bribe him to appear but they are not conveying much gravitas for FK ? I am full of respect for what Rob and Ryan are doing for Wrexham. They visit regularly and are well liked locally. No airs and graces just nice, friendly people. William really should collaborate with them on charitable efforts in Wales but that’s too much li ke hard work, so just an annual photo op ?
A full day of events in Wales, oh dear! Did he make it back in time for the school run? Are the children still waiting to be picked up? How ever does he do it all…..
@saucy&sassy, so do I lovey, I so want him cut down to size. There is only one reason for him to go back to the US, Harry, he’s still chasing what Harry has. I have the horrible premonition that he time it to try and hit the first winter invictus next year. Why the hell is he bothering if not for that. Remember he went to Boston to announce the last earthsht. In total he spent £8,000,000, to make awards totaling £5,000,000. He’s a pathetic expensive joke, and if you lovely US based celebs don’t give him hell I will comeback and haunt you all 💀
He’s like Wile E. Coyote chasing the roadrunner. So many plans and he ends up running off a cliff or getting tangled up in his own “clever” trap. It’s hilarious to think that Will might try to pull focus from the Invictus Games. I’m remembering his last trip to NY, with getting canceled by the mayor, the manly hip waders, the Central Park jog that never was, and the tourists who were all excited to see Prince Harry get out of the car, except, oops, never mind, it’s just William.
Hoping the best schemer in The Firm has set this clown up for next week. #AbolishTheMonarchy
According to this recent article: “Veteran environmentalist David Attenborough is the most trusted figure with the public to discuss climate change, according to 2021 polling by the organization Climate Outreach, followed by fellow TV conservationist Chris Packham — then Prince William.” Clearly the Earthshot Prizes are having some impact.

That’s funny considering that Attenborough used to ignore the subject in his shows because it wasn’t “light” material. Wonder who they polled.
I’m pretty sure he needs stronger alcohol considering his family is a laughing stock esp outside the UK. These idiots woke up a sleeping giant with their arrogant and racist undertones, and now they’re trying to see if they can control the narratives in the US(they’re able to control the UK but outside it, they have no power whatsoever) .
I’m starting to believe the rumors that he is an uncontrolled alcoholic. (No “duh, Bad Janet, we all knew that,” please. We have heard rumors, but he has given us a lot the last couple weeks to substantiate those allegations.)
I was confused when i first saw these pictures because i was like ‘why are they using shot glasses for beer’ but this wasnt beer it was LIQUOR? WTF? I know it is not abnormal for royals to drink beer on an engagement but doing hard shots mid day on camera especially with everything else going on feels insane. What is wrong with this man and his team?
