Prince William Reveals Why He Missed Attending The Paris Olympics

Buy Me A Coffee

Prince William, a.k.a. the future king and unofficial royal dad-joke champion, just spilled the tea on why he skipped out on this summer’s Paris Olympicsβ€”and it’s got nothing to do with avoiding the French baguettes or jet lag.

So, imagine this: Paris is basically a hop, skip, and a royal wave away from the UK. Everyone thought, “Surely, the Prince and his ever-so-glamorous wife, Princess Catherine, will make an appearance, right?” I mean, who could resist a city of lights and croissants with a side of world-class athletics?

Enter swimmer Tom Dean (no, not Tom Daleyβ€”wrong sport, wrong Tom), who casually asks during a royal chit-chat, β€œDid you make it out to Paris?” You know, like it’s just a weekend jaunt to the local pub.

And what does Wills say? Drumroll, please. Cue royal accent “Nooo, I was sooo keen to go, but after reading this super intense COVID interview, I thought, β€˜Nah, better not risk bringing the plague home.’” Wink-wink Translation: COVID strikes again! Turns out, William was thinking about more than just Olympic goldβ€”he had his eyes on a much more precious prize: keeping the royal household germ-free.

But wait, there’s more! He adds that his wife, Princess Catherine, was going through chemo at the time. Serious stuff, yes. But being the ever-doting husband and superhero dad that he is, Prince William wasn’t about to bring home any Olympic-sized viruses.

Now, before you shed any tears over the missed croissant opportunities, fear not! William revealed that he and Kate were glued to their screens like the rest of us. Yep, the royal fam was binge-watching the Olympics from the comfort of their (probably way too fancy) couch.

And let’s not forget the mini-royals: Prince George (11), Princess Charlotte (9), and little Prince Louis (6). We’re sure they were cheering, snacking on royal popcorn, and probably arguing over which event was coolerβ€”gymnastics or track and field. Classic sibling rivalry.

Prince William’s Olympic dreams got tackled by COVID fears and royal duties, but hey, at least they didn’t miss a single vault or dive… from the living room.
