I already have all sorts of back pains and aches, so I can only imagine what it must feel like as you pass 80.
On the plus side, being old means you get to say pretty much whatever you like, whenever you like, with scaled-down repercussions.
99-year-old Prince Philip has spent decades putting his foot in his mouth (when he’s not crashing into things), so I reckon Prince William is used to dealing with the frank nature of the elderly.
In the case of 87-year-old Joan Drew Smith, she wasn’t going to let the Prince, nor Kate, get away with their shoddy bingo hosting skills.
Over to Sky News for more from the royal visit to Shire Hall Care Home in Cardiff yesterday:
When the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited a care home where they had called a bingo game months earlier, they may have hoped for an improvement on the mixed reviews they received at the time…
As the future king sat down with her and others, he reminded them of their last encounter.
“You might not recognise us with the [face masks] but we did the bingo with you,” he said.
“You said we didn’t do a very good job?”
Joan told them back in May that she had been unimpressed, and her stance hasn’t mellowed with time.
Watch from 15 seconds below:
I dig her vibe.
Can somebody head back to the care home and ask her what she thinks about Prince Andrew, please?
