This may have been captured at the perfect moment to look incompetent but he was actually doing it right I think, you can see the nail is driven in and he's about to hit it again, he was probably holding it in the instant before the photo and pulled his hand away with his fingers still pinched just as it was captured. Not to defend him but I think the timing is funny.

But you can definitely tell he's just hitting a nail into wood arbitrarily for the photo, and his grip on the hammer bothers me.

blazer and hard hat lmao what a fucking dweeb

The tweed suit really sells it

This picture was designed in a lab to be wrong.

Those fingers are worth millions a peasant like you wouldn't understand.

at least the hammer head is facing the right direction. jesus.

i move for the provisional revolutionary government to recognize the only princely william as William Prince, a First Nations folk singer.

the so-called "Prince" William is to be stripped of his title and henceforth referred to as Bill Louis, his birth name.

Shiny new hard hat but no other PPE

"Now watch this drive." immediately smashes thumb

The jacket he's wearing is probably worth 6 months of a labourer's work. Royals are the ultimate virtue signallers

Real moment. I bet this'll cause him problems in the next election!

The only charitable explanation I can think of is that he just finished setting it and they snapped the photo right as he was moving his fingers away.
