William was booed at the Royal Variety Performance on November 5th, after he made a joke about the NHS.
Prince William was booed by some members of the audience at the Royal Variety Performance on November 5th. The Duke of Cambridge was in attendance with his wife, Kate Middleton, and had been discussing their children when he made a joke about the NHS. As part of his act, comedian Michael McIntyre mentioned that Prince George had been admitted to hospital recently. This is when Prince William jumped in to make a joke about it.
“He’s been waiting for this moment for a long time,” Prince William said, before adding: “No one is more qualified to talk about waiting than me.”
It wasn’t clear whether or not Prince William intended for his joke to be taken as a dig at NHS staff or if he was just making light of the situation. However, many members of the audience were quick to boo him and his wife Kate Middleton.
