:goodpost:

I'd also note that she did in fact play the games the athletes asked her to play. So there really wasn't any harm done in any event -- she chatted with the athletes, did various activities and played games, and everyone seems to have enjoyed themselves.

^^^Glad to see that the BRF members are ready to join in the activity when requested. IMHO that is one of Diana's legacies. :)

^^I agree Lothwen. It happens so frequently, I wonder if she reads the briefing materials.

She clearly was never expecting work when she pursued william for the past 10 yrs , I dont mean to be harsh but its difficult for me to believe she knew what she was getting into :angeldevil1:
I saw the pic of her jumping in those wedges , its not a case of who can or cannot do it lmao everyone can do it but its easy to get injured and fall flat on your arse , she's a little :loco: at times . I dont like the facial expressions , actually I dont like her open mouth , that seems to be the only facial expression she has on , its weird and makes her look maniacal , does she do that to hide the missing personality :censored2: lets be honest , she is 32 and isnt well travelled , doesnt have much experience with work and for a so called socialite her social circle is non existent .

QuotePrince William Continues Royal Photobomb Trend as He Gets Into Picture with Sir Chris Hoy

The Queen has done it, Prince Harry has done it, and now Prince William has got in on the photobomb craze that appears to have hit the royals. He sneaked into a picture of Olympic cycling champion Sir Chris Hoy as he posed at the Commonwealth Games.

The Duke of Cambridge appears slightly blurred in the image, suggesting that he may have just jumped into the frame as the picture was being taken.
