flyingking 1,120 Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 Now confirmed that Harry will relinquish all roles, including his RFL one, and they will be reallocated to other Royals. I imagine his RFU role will be allocated to Zara Tindall, the RFL role will probably be given to an unenthusiastic William. The best that the RFL can hope for is probably Kate, as I get impression she would do best at working with the players in the Women's World Cup. www.twitter.com/flyingking2 Link to post Share on other sites

JohnM 7,767 Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 It seems he's had his appointments a Royal Patron cancelled. Tweet from RFL says thanks, but does not explicitly say goodbye. I'd like to see him continue as Patron, with the RFL engaging with him actively and positively and productively. Now he's not a royal, and now he's no longer RFU patron, he'd suit the republicans on here, the non-conformists on here and the rebels on here. Plus he could be of use in the US and Canada. 3 Four legs good - two legs bad Link to post Share on other sites
