William and Kate ROASTED after ’empty-handed visit’ to food bank

Media darlings William and Kate arrived at a food bank in Windsor this week - but their appearance has caused a moderate backlash.

As far as PR opportunities go, this one seems to have ‘royally’ backfired for William and Kate. The pair made an appearance at a food bank in Windsor, where they were asked to ‘inspect the quality of the produce’ on offer for regular recipients.

William and Kate visit a food bank – but it didn’t go down well

However, their short stay and limited contributions were picked up immediately by the online community. The couple also turned up without any items of food to donate to the facility – and continued to wade through the fresh fruit and veg on offer.

The visit itself has left a few Brits feeling rather uncomfortable. Though food banks provide a vital lifeline for those most in need, their very existence is a sign that something has gone desperately wrong for our society.

No food donations, just vibes…

The future monarch turning up with a pack of press photographers, therefore, has left a sour taste in many mouths. Over the last few days, the public has vented its anger over the visit – with reactions ranging from the outright hilarious, to the utterly damning.

  • For some, their ceremonial visit all felt a little… colonial

  • Meanwhile, one commenter was keen to point out how *other* members of the Royal Family have conducted themselves.

William and Kate should take a lesson from a Real Royal when visiting a food bank.
1. Go incognito to really do the work.
2. Photo Ops are secondary or after the fact.
3. Let others shine.
4. Bring food or money donations!#MeganMarkel #PrinceHarryAndMeghan pic.twitter.com/wrKdcWwJUe

Read the room, guys!

  • Others were left baffled by the social faux pas, pointing out the elephant in the room.

  • Cynicism was rife amongst the public, who questioned the decision to host a photo-op at a foodbank

William and Kate turn up to a food bank with entourage and photographers capturing their good deeds, yet not a single can of beans to donate. No one says a thing. Shows a lot that does.

  • Others were incandescent about William and Kate’s decision to show-up empty-handed, bringing no goods of use with them.

  • Sadly, the phrase ‘funny because it’s true’ doesn’t quite apply here.
