COMMENT 191039P	2011-07-09 09:48 AM
They're supposedly driving up from LA, not arriving via helicopter. Tho if there are helis, they will more than likely be press!

Very cool they decided to come to SB of all the other possibles in CA. Heck, they could have stayed all weekend in Glitztown USA with the Hollywood elite. Will anybody EdHat subscribers be in attendance at the polo match to get some great shots?

Unlike most of our celebrities, I like how much the royals do for others, how involved they are in multitudes of charities within their country and internationally. They do have their own fortunes (like our wealthy businessmen/women), so could just have fun, but these two seem to have the ethic to contribute in the world and are doing something positive with their 'celebrity.' They seen so sweet together and are delightful with other people, and I find myself really enjoying them!

@191071 I agree! They seem genuine and are using their status to help others. When have we seen Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashin (sp)?, any of those Jersey Shore folks, etc do any thing like this.

That's not true just the other night I saw a video were Paris ( it was hard to tell it was her ) well I think she was helping the Green Lantern , and one were Kim, well lets just say she just couldn't do enough for this guy . ( I don't think he had any legs ) They were both real thought full ...

It is a honor to have them here. I hope they have fun.

I have a fondness for William (and his new wife) because I had such great respect for his mom. She was a caring person who spent much of her short life (enjoying) helping others. I look at William and see a part of her in him. I hope their trip to the Polo Fields is one they will fondly remember.

I used to work for the SBPRC and they are so stoked to have such people Desire to play on perhaps the most pristine Polo Fields in the world. Sergio and his crew know how to consistently maintain and make a Polo Field the best. Everyone there cares so much about the polo people, their families and respect for the game that its no wonder it doesn't attract more polo players of royalty! As it stands, the club is desired by the most highest of caliber polo player's in the world and its pretty exciting and gratifying to live in such a well world renowned polo paradise. That's about all i have to say, sorry if I rambled but I love the people and polo lifestyle that are the SBPolo Club. \

William and Kate are raising millions for a great cause...and Santa Barbara is the backdrop. Sounds good to me!
COMMENT 191175	2011-07-09 07:24 PM
An exciting life. I am envious.
COMMENT 191193P	2011-07-09 09:30 PM
well it was cool that they came to my home town to play polo and then... oh look, a puppy!

After watching one of the most shallow movies of all time ("Bad Teacher") starring richies Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake, it's truly refreshing to have two other young & wealthy young people like Will and Kate who can at least show grace and simple good etiquette in their everyday life. Further, I am interested in William as much for his father's tremendous leadership in organic gardening as for his mother's essential kinkliness.
COMMENT 191239	2011-07-10 08:48 AM
These two must have constitutions of iron. Their schedule would kill a normal person. How do they train for it ? They must practice bulemia too. And I hope the poor girl at least has a pair of bright orange pjs. Good grief !
