Prince William reveals he avoided Paris Olympics over fears he’d give wife Kate Covid – as he meets Team GB swimmers
PRINCE William meets Team GB swimmers, saying he dodged the Paris Games to avoid giving wife Kate Covid.
He said the Princess of Wales was having chemotherapy at the time and did not want to risk bringing it home.
Wills met Olympians Adam Peaty and Tom Dean with Paralympians Maisie Summers-Newton and Louise Fiddes at a pool in Birtley, Tyne and Wear.
The Prince also spoke to Tom about his recent departure from Strictly Come Dancing.
Speaking afterwards Tom said: “Robbery was the word he used, very kind of him,.”
Wills said his wife Catherine was a ‘big fan’ of the show, he added.
Palace aides added that swimming was going to be a big focus of the Foundation going forward.
It came just hours after he was pictured on his feet as supersub Jhon Duran netted the winner at Villa Park repeating the scoreline against the Germans in the 1982 European Cup final.
William said after the match: “I’ve lost my voice… I can’t quite believe it. 42 years.”
It is understood he was still gushing to pals about the Champions League win hailing the ‘electric’ atmosphere.
William was overheard telling people his voice was still a bit hoarse from all the shouting.
Wetherspoons sued for more than £200,000 after a customer died at one of its pubs
WETHERSPOONS is being sued for more than £200,000 after a drinker fell to his death from a second-floor window.
The pub chain faces action from the partner of Callum McKeon, who tumbled from an upstairs flat used for storage while looking for a toilet.
It is accused of negligence and breach of statutory duty by his partner, Chloe Fletcher-Langley in her High Court action.
The case follows an inquest which heard a drunk Mr McKeon, 24, was trying to get into the Golden Lion in New-market, Cambs, after a stag do in June 2021.
The dad of three was turned away but went looking for the toilet and staggered into the second-floor flat, where he fell from a window.
A coroner ruled his being able to reach an off-limits area contributed to his death.
Speaking after the inquest into his death, Mr McKeon’s mother Tina Bedford said she hoped that lessons would be learned.
She said: “Callum was a loving son, brother, father, and partner, and is sorely missed by everyone who knew him.
“He was always happy and cheerful, and would have done anything for his three kids, Olivia, Ronnie and Frankie.
“He’d enjoyed a day socialising with his family and friends, and the night shouldn’t have ended like that. If Callum hadn’t been able to access that room, that night, he’d still be with us.
“Callum was loved by so many and his memory will live on.
“What happened that day could have been prevented with some simple steps to stop Callum ending up where he did.
“We just hope that there will be lessons learned, and that another family won’t have to go through what we have had to. We will miss him so much every single day.”
The Sun contacted Wetherspoons for comment.
Three easy ideas for alcohol-free drinks to save some cash ahead of Christmas
DITCH the booze this month to help save some cash and get a clear head in the run-up to Christmas.
Sober October is a campaign backed by Macmillan Cancer Support — and you can sign up to join in the challenge at gosober.org.uk.
Then try these easy ideas for alcohol-free drinks to see you through to November . . .
HOT ROSIE: Add hot water to rosemary cordial, which you can make from the Tesco recipe below, for a hot toddy perfect for autumn.
To make the cordial, put the zest and juice from two lemons and a grapefruit into a pan.
Get a handful of rosemary sprigs and strip the leaves into the pan along with 60g of fresh, sliced ginger, 150g of sugar and 250ml of water.
Stir on a medium heat until the sugar dissolves, then reduce the heat to low, stirring for around 15 minutes until it is thicker and fragrant.
Strain through a sieve and keep in a storage bottle. You’ll need two tablespoons of the cordial added to a cup of hot water to create your toddy.
FAUX G&T: If you love a gin and tonic, try an alcohol-free version of the spirit such as Tanqueray 0.0% and Flor de Sevilla 0.0%, both down to £15 from £17 at Sainsbury’s with a Nectar card.
Selected Fever-Tree tonics are down from £2.10 to £1.80 for 500ml with a Clubcard at Tesco. Try the Spanish clementine flavour with the Flor de Sevilla 0.0% for a lovely fruity drink.
Or the elderflower tonic goes well with the standard Tanqueray 0.0%.
MULLED APPLE JUICE: Swap mulled cider for apple juice and embrace autumn without the booze.
You need to simmer a litre of apple juice with a stick of cinnamon, two or three cloves and orange peel to create the perfect seasonal drink.
If you prefer it sweeter, then just add a couple of spoonfuls of sugar.
