James Whitaker is shown telling Channel 4's "Dispatches" that William -- who is second-in-line to the throne -- "really should be doing more".
William completed just 14 engagements in 2007, five of which were football or rugby matches. Prince Charles, carried out 84 appointments at William's age.
"I'm sorry, but as second in line of succession to the throne, he really should be doing more," Whitaker claimed.
Are they expected to really do anything? They have no power, they only have social status...I don't understand why this Whitaker guy seems to be so critical of what the royals do. They're not really meant to do anything but...look pretty.

even if he doesn't have much power there are still tons of possibilities of motivation they could use... I mean, if they even did one small thing it would be better than rugby matches and unknown appointments. Maybe if they went public with even the smallest contribution to the world the media would eat it up and people might think better of the two.
