Just been looking at the pictures of yesterday’s event and on the majority Hazno has a big smile on his face ….. he loves being the centre of attention and cannot hide his feelings. Remember the face he had on at the Jamaican cinema when he was treated as a nobody, no smile then.
On the other hand his wife can smile through anything, even during the worst possible event and there have been a lot, that grin is always there. How it must annoy Hazno that she can do that and he can’t hide his displeasure over the slightest thing.
It will be interesting to see how they are treated in Nigeria and to watch their reactions. We will be able to judge by Hazno’s face if it is going well or not, although we know he won’t be allowed to be the centre of attention if his wife is anywhere near as she will push herself into the front and centre every time. I’m looking forward to seeing what happens on this faux tour and to read all the tattlers comments on here. All my other commitments are cancelled for the next few days!
Oh he definitely loves being the centre of attention, and he always did. I wonder does he ever look back on the halcyon days when he was a popular royal. People saw him as the fun, devil-may-care prince. We know now of course how carefully that image was constructed.
I'd say he misses the automatic attention and being treated as important, as much as anything else. He tasted it very very briefly when he visited Charles, that time, being ushered in from the airport with outriders and whatever else.
She plasters on the rictus grin with her latest set of teeth and she is good to go. It's going to be interesting to see what happens in Nigeria. As you rightly say, his reactions and body language will tell us everything.
And at the risk of sounding naive, I have to ask, who thinks Nigeria would be a good venue anyway, for Invictus? If it were to be chosen, how would the participants feel about going there, I wonder.
