Nice father / son event!
Now, if only William would so willingly go on overseas visits for official purposes as he does to support Aston Villa!
Yeppers.
Absolutely!
With Vic's visit to Nigeria and the many state visits recently I was trying to figure out how British royals approached foreign visits differently from European royals. My findings so far seem to suggest European royals are sent for a specific purpose (trade, diplomacy, even fashion) but when British royals travel abroad it's usually to a Commonwealth country where the engagements clearly insinuate that the country visited is/was a colony, or otherwise serving a military purpose. Certainly with some visits of European royals to places I don't get the impression of a superiority complex.
I'd love to see Wills and Kate visiting countries based on themes they could add to rather than it being a "visit of the (old) colonisers). It's always been a pet passion of loje but I'd love multiple royals to unite behind some projects. We saw a glimpse with the Queens and MT uniting over (I think) domestic violence issues. I'd love to see Wills and Jokke uniting over military and eco themes (thinking Earthshot and maybe Marie's less food waste initiative). Or Kate and Silvia/Madde combining Early Years and Childhood for the good. This would bring UK royals closer to their European counterparts, for which so long have seemed to be adrift from.
I'm sorry if this appears as a ramble, I'm having yet another insomniac night and thijkkng of possible royal scenarios!
