One of my favorite Gen Z words is “rizz,” slang for charisma. I think Prince Harry has an abundance of rizz. He is the Rizzler. His brother might have anti-rizz. Prince William might be where rizz goes to die. I was thinking about this as I went through photos of William at last night’s Centrepoint Awards, which was held at the British Museum. Princess Kate did not join him at the ceremony, because she is still taking it easy after all of her health issues this year. That being said, Kate has historically never attended events for Centrepoint. It’s one of William’s things alone, like the Tusk Trust. No Kate allowed!
Kensington Palace did a decent job staging William’s entrance at the museum – you could tell that Huevo thought he looked like a hairy-egg version of James Bond. Things quickly fell apart inside the venue though, as William took pains to avoid touching Black people and he couldn’t help but make some odd faces. It reminded me of his awkwardness at this year’s BAFTAs. William presented some of the awards and he reminded everyone of his keenness, saying: “While homelessness is of course a complex societal issue, I passionately believe that it can, and should, be ended.” He’s like six months away from saying he’s bored of homelessness.
Meanwhile, there’s been a lot of tabloid churning lately over stories which were already reported months, sometimes years ago. Last year, William was apparently obsessed with the fact that the Duchess of Sussex didn’t wear her engagement ring for several months (she did wear her wedding band though). They’ve dusted off that story and claimed that William still wants to know what happened to Meghan’s ring. Which is weird because William’s wife hasn’t been wearing her famously cursed engagement ring throughout the year. It’s also weird because now they’re talking about how odd it is that William has never worn a wedding band either. Everything is always projection with the left-behinds, that’s all I’ll say. If there are stories about Meghan’s jewelry, that means something’s up with Kate’s jewelry.

No Kate, and yet three of his Spencer cousins apparently attended. Guess he’s still salty over the Spencer support Harry got at the Invictus church event.
Yes, I saw a photo of Amelia, Kitty and Eliza Spencer at Centrepoint — and a photo too of the one loyal Black friend of Harry’s brother, Seyi Obakin.
I noticed the attendance of the Spencer cousins and immediately laughed, it’s all so predictable.
Lady Kitty is a patron of the charity (as per Hello). I guess their presence is to support the charity, not willie.
Kitty, Eliza, and Amelia are the daughters of Charles Spencer and do not get along with their father (same old story of the resentful first wife being negative about her ex and influencing her kids against him). So maybe, just maybe, they also like to show support for William because their father shows support for Harry. I believe they get along with Harry too, so I don’t really know the details of this family’s relationships. Or they want to continue being invited for royal events.
Kitty Spencer is an ambassador for the charity so it makes sense she’d be there. Diana was their patron too so the Spencer connection makes sense.
William’s been patron for nearly 20 years but I don’t think he’s done that much for them. Apart from telling them where they’re going wrong, it would seem, given that he thinks homelessness can be solved.
The Spencer’s being at an event that was formally Diana’s and is now Kitty’s makes sense. It shows that they are there to support Kitty. The Spencer’s being at Harry’s IG anniversary celebration at the church where none of them are patrons or ambassadors, is because they were there to support Harry. I don’t think that the Spencer’s are mean or spiteful or that they don’t support both of Diana’s sons but it’s obvious they support Harry for the amazing work, son and man he is.
@nerd, it is interesting to note, however, but none of the Spencer girls were at the IG service. Only Harry’s aunts, his uncle, Louis and I think at least one other cousin (George?).
Mayp, actually one of his female cousins was there also. There was a clip showing Harry briefly saying hello to her. She was sandwiched in between the male cousins.
His beard makes it look like he hasn’t washed the bottom half of his face.
Someone once pointed out that the beard made him look like Homer Simpson and now I just can’t unsee it
OMG yes!
That description is perfect! Soooo right on.
Except Homer Simpson loves his wife.
He looks like he is exceptionally bad at drinking chocolate milk.
Face like a big fungus-y toe with gnarly toe hair well past due to be trimmed.
At least Will showed up in person.
I do not like the velvet tux trend, even Daniel Craig did not look good in it.
The big headline the rota missed: did Huevo wear the matching airplane slippers?
The pants are very ill fitting. He has long, slim legs like Harry so there is no reason he shouldn’t have a nice, close, straight leg fit and smooth silhouette
I believe that only Tom Hiddleston looks good in a velvet jacket.
Chris Evans as well.
I’ll add Jensen Ackles to the mix….and with a beard!
I really want to know where Kate/ Diana’s engagement ring is now
William was trying to get this story going with the Frankenphoto but the photo kill knocked it off the trajectory. I don’t understand the reasoning. The BM is referring back to the slate of ‘Meghan isn’t wearing hers’ stories as an angle and counterpoint but that was William too…?
Why bait the public to notice she’s not wearing Big Blue, if the Middletons did steal diamonds that belonged to Diana why not just say so? If the separation or divorce went through why not just say so? What is he trying to achieve?
Maybe she lost it in the lake during one of her supposed midnight solo swim sessions. 🤪
He’s not aging well. Over exaggerated facial expressions. Those hand are all over the place. But heh he’s going to completely solve homelessness
If the royals stopped siphoning off undeserved money from the government and turned over even 1/2 of their vast property holdings, it could make a dent. There is no actual will to do something good, though.
Zooted and tooted in public once again. That’s what it looks like to this old broad, who’s been around the block a few times. I see what I see.
Okay, I just had to look up zooted and tooted😂
😉my favorite expressions for being zonked out of your gourde. Just really paints a vivid picture lmao
That’s what this old gal thought too! He’s looks like he’s been partaking in something.
The stubble makes his mouth look larger. He is very awkward.
He’s what the firehose of stupidity looks like before they switch the valve to “on”.
I like the side eye the man on the right is giving huevo in the second photograph
Huevo no way will you end homelessness.
He has got to lose the beard..he looks like a HOBO
It’s ghastly!
I feel he could benefit from a goatee but he really be clean shaven again, he looks dreadful.
I don’t know, a goatee is usually on men who are charismatic. He isn’t charismatic or attractive with a beard. A goatee would only make him look more villainess than he already is.
I just think if he lost the sides and had a concerted effort to keep it well groomed he would get the effect of a beard without looking so moth eaten and slovenly. It would make a ‘triangle’ of his face with his side burns and look tidy. Between the patchy growth and the visual voids his greying hair makes, even where growth is actually there, the sides just aren’t doing it. Right now he’s just terrible looking… Better to look like an evil villain, lean in to his personality!
Ah the velvet tux. Surprised he didn’t have embroidered slippers this time. Awkward is his middle name along with lazy, incandescent and slow. You know those royals with all those middle names.
Este huevo no es bueno.
Este huevo ya esta podrido.
LOL
Having to cover William must be agony for the Royal rota but this is what they deserve.
The velvet tux needs to be retired it was weird to begin with but he keeps wearing them and it’s becoming creepy.. (full disclosure I can’t stand the feel of velvet 🥴)
Velvet tuxes are worn by sinister hosts of haunted mansions in those gothic horror films. I am wondering William If wore matching slippers. Who advises william on his appearance.
Yep. It makes him look like Montgomery Burns. This whole thing is strange. All of it. What are they doing with his persona?
@Hypocrisy I can’t stand the feel of velvet either. It makes me feel queasy and anxious, as if I’m going to throw up. What’s the deal with that? I thought I was the only one!
Velvet tuxes are just tacky.
He really doesn’t look at ease around ordinary people, does he. All that gurning!
I can almost see his reaction as he gets back into his car at the end of the night and can finally relax because he’s back in his bubble and away from the commoners.
I saw a clip of his speech on social media last night and it was just so stilted and awkward. The things he was saying weren’t necessarily bad, it just came off so……awkward. Like you could tell each time he had to flip to the next notecard or whatever. I doubt he had ever read the speech before last night and certainly wasn’t involved in writing it.
And his grand sweeping statements are tiresome “homelessness is a complex issue but I believe we can end it” – okay, and how? Homelessness has been his “big” cause pretty much his entire life, and he’s still talking like he just sat down and read an article on wikipedia about it.
Something is seriously wrong with him…Something that has affected not only his continuously deteriorating appearance but his ability to speak and interact…many cb have mentioned in the past that William was more “decent ” in his speeches and interactions compared to Kate… to be this awkward…. I don’t know…I understand that he’s lazy but was he so awkward before?
I mean he’s doing an event? Shrug. He’s done a few lately. For him. That’s all I got. It’s a massive shrug. As long as he keeps Meghan’s name outta his mouth and doesn’t say anything massively offensive, I’m like meh. The bar is very low. Which is convenient for apathy towards the monarchy.
I know it’s bad manners to comment on someone else’s physical appearance but DAMN, that man is ugly AF.
Word
At first I liked the beard because it gave him some character. But unfortunately for him, the moss covered mug can’t hide his inner nothingness.
Good Grief why does this man take such awful photos?? Looks like this is the preferred length for the struggle-beard. Unfortunate. Also, he needs to button his tuxedo-the other men in the photos are buttoned up and dapper.
My thought too, jacket flapping open is not top-drawer dressing and is disrespectful to the people he’s meeting. Charles or the late Prince Philip would never be so sloppily attired.
OMG…He’s so unfortunate. 😂😂😂
LOL! To think that he used to be so good-looking in his youth and then, I guess the Windsor genes kicked in, and this the result. He could use some help with how he presents himself. He comes across as unprepared, stilted and unapproachable. This should have been dealt with years ago, but like everything else, his laziness and ego let him think he’s better than he is. SMH
Yep. I became a dedicated royal watcher in 1997. It is shocking what has happened to William. It’s not just age either. I can’t figure out if he’s sick, addicted, or looks this bad because he spends all his time shrieking in rage. I’m a royal history nerd, and this is the strangest twist of events I’ve seen in a long time. To be fair, I watched the video of him tossing the football with the NFL last night, and he didn’t look so bad in motion and as he walked around chatting with people. I dunno. But it’s weird.
@ Chrissy & @SueBarbri33, I Think he was neglected just as Harry but in a different way. He was left to his device and pampered & so he doesn’t seem to have any sense of structure or discipline in his life or see his need to have any. He seems like a damaged man .
That struggle beard still looks awful and is distracting. He needs to shave.
They all know.
They know who he is and what he really did to his brother and sister-in-law.
In every picture, there is someone who can’t hide their disgust of William.
He knows what they think, too…..
He really is the antithesis of Harry. Harry makes everyone around him feel comfortable … William makes everyone around him look as ill at ease as he is.
His wife is similar. So weird and awkward around people, flapping her hands around and laughing her head off at imaginary jokes.
They’re just not very good at this.
Has anyone else noticed that the photographers taking these staged photos of William are now taking pains to ensure the faces of those he’s yammering at aren’t captured by only photographing them from behind? But you can still see from the looks of those on the sidelines that whatever he’s saying with such animation and false authority is ridiculously banal. I also wonder how the black people being used as tokens to show the world he’s “definitely not racist” honestly feel.
I actually don’t mind the velvet tuxedo at all, he just doesn’t wear it very elegantly. It looks like the fabric hangs heavily on his frame, and he does that weird thing where he hunches his shoulders and thrusts his head forward, baring his teeth at whomever he’s supposed to be talking to, like a gangly vulture, lurching and leering awkwardly.
More than 20 years of training for just these sorts of events, and he still hasn’t got a clue how to have a normal interaction with the public. It’s actually kind of impressive to be so very bad, still, at one of the few core tenets of your job. Or maybe we can say that he doesn’t think it’s important to learn – the public should be so lucky just to have a chance to be lurched and leered at!
The thing is that Harry genuinely likes people. William doesn’t. It shows.
Pegs is “smalling up”” himself in that photo with the Black people. He looks like he’d rather be *anywhere* than sandwiched in between them!
It’s like he can’t bare to have those black folks touch him! How regal!
