There were two things you wanted to be in your school/kids church/whatever nativity play at Christmas. Joseph, or Mary. Maybe in a pinch scoring one of the Three Wise Men was a kind of primo role, and the Innkeeper was okay, because you got to yell “THERE’S NOOOO ROOOOOOM IN THE IINNNNN” but anything beyond that was shithouse. Absolute shit.
It seems even being royal doesn’t score you a plum role in your school plays, because Prince George was relegated to the animal cast for his first one this year.
Little Georgie started at Thomas’s Battersea in London just this September, and his dad Prince William dropped him off for his very first day – likely causing multiple fainting incidents. You’d think the future King of England (I think? I do not at all understand the royals) would get some preferential treatment at least in the form of getting to have a speaking role, but no.
“I went to my boy’s nativity play. It was funny,” William told press at BBC’s Bridge House on Wednesday. “He was a sheep.”
Side note – this is just further evidence that all our parents were just laughing behind our backs at our v. serious, v. rehearsed school play performances. While we stood there thinking we were on par with Meryl Streep, they were cackling into their cast pamphlets. NICE.
It hasn’t all been the shit end of the stick for the teeny Prince, though. Last week, George wrote a letter for Santa – which Prince William personally delivered TO the ABSOLUTELY REAL SANTA in Finland.
He had a solid Christmas wish, too.
Yes, George. Aim high – maybe when you’re a bit older you can ask for the Tower Of London, and then take up residence in some turret situation. We need some spice amongst the royals, I for one would love to see a teen hermit prince who refuses to be seen in daylight and just peers out from a ye olde castle window.
