I heard she didn't want to go to WGC because it hasn't got a Tesco...

Shame she won't be going to see the real Hatfield but then again why should she be bothered about real people as long as she has our taxes.... the Royal family outdated and out of touch.

I have to assume it will be Old Hatfield and Hatfield House, not our 'lovely' town centre. The poor old lady doesn't deserve to be punished at a time of great celebration!
