I wondered if we would see the Prince and Princess of Wales at any point this week, but it’s looking like they’re still “on vacation.” Their spring break began two weeks before Easter, and it’s looking like it will extend two weeks past Easter. I strongly suspect that they traveled somewhere outside of the UK, maybe to their favorite borrowed ski chalet in the Alps. Still, it’s yet another one of those moments where their absence from public view is notable – today would have been Queen Elizabeth II’s 100th birthday. King Charles and Camilla cut their holiday off on Monday to visit the QEII exhibition at Buckingham Palace. Charles also made a video address honoring his mother’s life and legacy. But William & Kate are still in the wind, and their social media team tweeted this:

They didn’t even sign it!! They always add “W” or “C” when it’s a personal message from one of them. Tell me the lazy duo are on vacation without telling me they’re on vacation. Probably incommunicado as well, so this is just something their staffers threw up. I’ve said before that Prince William’s big plan for his kingship is “never showing up anywhere in-person and he’ll just tweet about it.” Why honor his grandmother when the future king is day-drinking in a chalet?
I’m including Charles’ video address below, as well as the latest YouGov emotional-support poll. Why do they keep including the Sussexes in their sad polls? And why aren’t they including poor Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh?
Today marks what would have been Queen Elizabeth II’s 100th birthday, and our latest poll shows she remains the most popular member of the royal family
Queen Elizabeth II: 81% positive view
Princess Diana: 77%
Prince William: 76%
Kate Middleton: 75%
