Prince William has been described as "unbothered" by social media users following a public engagement on July 9, 2026, where he appeared notably cheerful. The event comes amid news that Prince Harry lost his High Court case against Associated Newspapers Limited.
William's Cheerful Engagement in Hastings
Prince William was photographed attending an event in Hastings, where he participated in a round of crazy golf against Murray Thompson, one of the UK's highest-ranked crazy-golfers. Photographs show him grinning broadly and relishing interactions with the public. The Prince and Princess of Wales later shared on Instagram: "A visit to Hastings Commons, where neglected buildings have been transformed into homes, workspaces and welcoming community spaces."
Social Media Reaction
After photographs appeared on X, many users commented on William's apparent delight. One user wrote: "My unbothered King today." Another said: "Living his best life." Others praised his potential as a future monarch, with one noting: "Prince William will make a first class King. An amazing person, a real family man who believes his immediate family come first."
Harry's Separate Activities
Meanwhile, Prince Harry visited Birmingham Children's Hospital to mark 20 years of WellChild's specialist nursing programme, meeting staff, patients and families. The charity supports seriously ill children transitioning from hospital to home. Despite both brothers being in the UK, their lives appear increasingly separate.
Broader Context
This is not the first time William has captivated onlookers recently; weeks earlier, he responded to a stranger's call, leaving people in stitches. The contrast in their public personas has been highlighted by royal observers, with William focusing on community engagements while Harry continues his philanthropic work.
