I adore Hannah Waddingham and I love that she’s gotten such a huge career boost from her work on Ted Lasso. While she was a known actress who booked roles consistently, her three seasons on Lasso fundamentally changed her career when she was well into her 40s. Because of Lasso, she’s been offered more work, not just acting roles, but commercials, hosting gigs, specialty programming and ad campaigns, and from what I can see, she basically says yes to every job. Good for her, in general, but that means she said yes to being Prince William’s celebrity friend. Hannah is a “supporter” of William’s Earthshot busywork, and she gets invited to various Earthshot events. Now she’s part of his Earthshot documentary, The Earthshot Report (groan), and to hype the documentary, Hannah and Prince William made a video in which they’re playing darts and drinking beers. Girl, I hope you’re getting paid for this.
There’s something about seeing William in motion, interacting with someone as vivacious and charismatic as Hannah, which makes me realize that he’s been really uncool for a long time. He just looks and acts like such a dweeb here, absolutely no rizz whatsoever. Which wouldn’t be such a big deal, except that he’s heir to the throne and he can’t stop centering himself constantly. It’s “pay attention to meeeee” but the guy has the charisma of a slug. His hair looks especially unfortunate here, and it’s still strange to me to see how few people are commenting on his extreme weight loss. The only positive thing I can say here is that at least William is doing more promotion for his documentary than the Sussexes did for Polo!
Additionally, the Mail is making a big deal about William saying that he doesn’t want to “preach” to anyone about the environment. The Mail called it a “veiled dig” at Prince Harry and Meghan, because… something something Harry and Meghan have taken private jets. Nevermind that William takes private jets too, nevermind that William has his own taxpayer-funded royal helicopter which flies him around to his eleventy billion homes and vacations and sidepiece hideaways.

I know he is the PoW and all, but how on earth does he manage to cheat so much. No rizz here, I can’t imagine he would be any better in the sack. (Sorry to anyone eating)
same reason (barf) Donald Trump does. and Hugh Hefner. Disgusting people but unfortunately some women want either the attention, the perks or simply the notch in the belt.
Replying to Tarte au Citron – 😄
He seems more at ease than he does when interacting with his wife.
Well, Kate comes across as a mannequin who can’t seem to string two words together, so anyone else would seem more dynamic and engaging than her, no?
I watched (some of) this yesterday–it’s not the worst thing I’ve ever seen. William in a pub playing darts is probably as authentic as you’re going to get. He comes off better on video than he does in still photos–he’s not as cool as his brother, but he’s less peculiar than his father. Charles could never even fake something like this. If I were doing KP PR, I would try to get him to do more scenes like this. He’s a terrible public speaker, he’s awkward in crowds, and he looks stupid meeting world leaders, but this is what he does best.
That video clip Harry and Meghan playing table tennis for Invictus Dusseldorf gave Willy – or his handlers – idea for this dart thing with Hannah to promote Earthshyte. Without Harry and Meghan to copy, Willy and his handlers will just turn up anywhere just clutching his hand tightly together over his private parts while grinding his teeth. Also, Willy just did not want his wife with him at all and associated with any of his useless stuff. W/o Invictus, Willy will not have Earthshyte – he just does not have the will, the grit, the ambition, the heart, the care, the brain to think of doing something worthwhile that has his name on it. Harry gave him a kick up his backside.
He’s so unfortunate looking. And knowing how lazy and nasty he is it’s like — pick a struggle dude.
Obviously looks are subjective and don’t mean anything in the big scheme of things, but he’s just sooooooo repulsive. He’s the epitome of the outside reflecting the inside because his character and personality are just as repulsive as his face. And that “beard” is just not it. It makes his teeth look even more pronounced and just looks dirty and unkempt. It looks like a fake beard from some local theater production with no budget.
As for Hannah W, I’m disappointed she’d lend this farce any credibility. But didn’t she also say something politically questionable? So I guess this is who she is?
“Unfortunate looking” is right. The sallow skin, the patchy beard, the dark circles under his eyes … He’s constantly in the public eye, for crying out loud. Has he no one who’ll tell him to shave the beard, moisturize, and use some concealer? I generally try not to comment on people’s looks; after all, most of us can’t help how we look, and if we’re content with our appearances, then it’s no one else’s business. But Willy’s JOB is to appear in public with others. I so want to sic the Queer Eye guys on him!
OMG – I’ve surprised myself as I really enjoyed the video. Hannah brought out the more human side of him and it was great to hear him laugh and make fun of himself. It’s just a shame that I find it hard to believe his message. As he was telling us about the “circular economy” I couldn’t help but, think how much he’ll try and skim off the top.
I’m assuming this is supposed to be a casual conversation between friends but I saw a snippet where Hannah calls William “Sir”. Not great. Since William ìs promoting this show we can expect it be in the top 10 in the ratings when it comes out right?
It came out yesterday, it aired at 5pm on the BBC but other than this video I’ve heard nothing about it and I live in the UK. That should probably give you a clue as to the impact it has had…
Her coat is fantastic
How much does he directly profit from the Duchy of Cornwall every year? It would have been meaningful if he had said that during this “decade of change” he was contributing 75%of the profits from the Duchy of Cornwall into Earthshot funding for scientists. Then we’re looking at $20m of funding vs $1m, 😂.
I haven’t watched it but Hannah is such a charismatic presence. So it was smart to have her be a part of ES. Even if I think it’s William’s vanity project. So William is awkward and has a lack of rizz…which bear with me, wouldn’t be so bad if he didn’t as Kaiser said center himself in his conversations and often make put-down jokes. If he could really center others and actually be curious about others, he would come across better. But that’s a big ask. For me, I just can’t see him without thinking of all the awful ways he hurt Meghan purposely while she was pregnant. Multiple times with different pregnancies. Jason Knauf via William taking doctored emails to the mail as evidence against Meghan being just one example.
Yesterday a friend sent me a video of PW taking the tube because she thought it was cute. …. Folks you really have to watch this one but more importantly, listen to it. It’s not worse than Kate wafting through the fields visually but the script is beyond cringe. OMG
As for this one – yes he seems more natural ( though that “ beard” is still skanky . )
Not being around Kate seems to be a part of that. Will we ever find out what really happened with her and them and what is going on now?
I couldn’t watch more than a couple of minutes. Slumlord Willy is just so unattractive!
I haven’t watched this and I really dont want to even though I love Hannah Waddingham.
I have to roll my eyes though at how William says he doesn’t want to “preach” about the environment but preaching is all he does.
Yup, preach is all he does, but he never takes his own advise. The word HYPOCRITE comes to mind.
I saw folks on blue sky talking about how he’s more comfortable around her than his own wife
I mean I think this is true for almost any other woman. He’s more comfortable around Sophie in public than he is around Kate!
The derangers are upset because they have increased their divorce talk of Harry and Meghan but when they provide their “reasons” why, they literally describe how William can’t stand being around Kate.
And yes it is very obvious that William has more chemistry with his aunt and an actress he barely knows than his own wife.
Every time I see Peggy all I see now is the public face of an abusive man…
What really caught my attention (I’m only a few minutes in) is Hannah saying thank you to the person who poured their cider and him not being bothered. We’ve seen this before with his side by side interview with Harry. I genuinely can’t tell if he’s super entitled it just oblivious. But it’s not what’s up.
He’s oblivious because he’s super entitled.
Sorry – I’m all for piling on this creep but it is William that says ‘Thanks’ for the drinks. She says ‘ting-ting’ and then thanks the bar-tender as they turn away.
It might be the one lesson that Diana taught that stuck.
As someone who had no clue who this Hannah person was until she was mentioned on this site, I can’t believe how most of you are giving her a pass for being a supportive stooge to William. Gross. Is she the new honors seeking version of Beckham? Seriously, even if you are a fan of this person, how can you cut her slack on this?
He really is a nothing burger, despite the tiny hoopla attached to any of his fake projects (a lot of hoopla would take work, so . . .).
