Why I stopped being a Wales fan.

It was having detrimental effect on my health. I was on sertraline which I thought was due to post natal depression when I had my daughter in 2022 but it was connected to my fandom.I see so many Wales fans suffering from various illnesses 1/9
It was effecting my physical health like Brittany here. I was hospitalised a dozen times in 2022 and 2033 and the doctors could not tell me what was happening. Medication wasn’t working.

I was trying to conceive in mid 2023. I was struggling. Something else I noticed was that many Wales fans also struggle. My cycle became normal after I let go of the hate and although we didn’t try straight away as soon as we did I was pregnant. 3/9 Image
It was affecting my faith. How can I call myself a church goer when I’m hating on a married couple and wishing they split up. I can see why so many Wales fans are just single and alone. The hatred puts you off others. My grandparents were royalists and they introduced me 4/9 Image

But they would been ashamed if they could see me.

Hakeem and I nearly separating last year. He’s also a fan of the royals but he was fed up of me taking about #MeghanMarkle
all the time. We even started sleeping in separate beds. I didn’t want to end up like Arabella 5/9 Image

Or drive my husband to drink and frequent the Premier Inn in Horsham. My cousin is a receptionist there and she sees someone whose initials are BC frequent there. 6/9 Image
I could have ended up lonely, detached from my children like Murky and Wally or looking for love online to feed my desperate insecurities. Instead I chose to grow up. Stop hating on a stranger who doesn’t affect my life and realised that William and Catherine has nothing to 7/9 Image
offer the Crown. I never liked Catherine, I was just full of hatred for someone else. You can see in this screenshots how I’ve grown up.

Wales fans are not royalists .
I know the difference and sit in the royalist camp. I hope my grandparents are proud of me ❤️ 8/9 Image

Thank you to the royalists who have welcomed me into a mature circle of important discussion. Thank you for showing me how true royalists behave.

I look forward to a new baby in March next year and my marriage as strong as ever. 🧡 9/9
