Britain's Prince William and his wife Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, watch some bull riding while wearing western clothing and cowboy hats in Calgary, Alberta July 7. The Prince and his wife are on a royal tour of Canada from June 30 to July 8.

Royal slipup? William, Kate don cowboy hats in Calgary after rare misstep

Yesterday, we PhotoBlogged about the royals' apparent hesitation to don the white cowboy hats at the airport. Little did we realize how big a deal this would become, as the Twittersphere exploded.

As AP reported:

CALGARY, Alberta — Prince William and Kate appeared to initially snub their western Canadian hosts by declining a time-honored Calgary tradition of wearing white cowboy hats — but later turned up for a rodeo show decked out in the hats and full western regalia.

Whatever! Geez, really? Oh my gawd, stop the press, they didn't wear the hat immediately but opted to wait to change into western wear later.

I tend to wear what I want, when I want, and not have some twits tell me when I have to dress a certain way. Typical media, just waiting for that one slip up (even if they have to manufacture one) and then that becomes incredible news. They are good people, Kate and Will, leave them the F$*&% alone, idiots.

Loser media.
