BUMPING INTO ROYALTY IN HYDE PARK | London's Most Famous Park

Today I take a trip to the world famous Hyde Park in London! Also bumped into HRH Prince Edward the Earl of Wessex (the Queens youngest son). Listened to the royal band play and even the parade. Topped off with a royal lunch…. Kind of

Seeing Prince Edward was amazing!! Even though I’m American, I’m a huge fan of the Royal family. You’re so lucky to have such gorgeous parks too!! What a beautiful day.☀️

[@willrayyyd8924]

Hannah, what a scoop ! Not talking about the overpriced mint chocolate ice-cream.. were you chuffed to bits to have got the timing just right to bump into Prince Edward in Hyde Park on a gorgeous, azure blue sky Sunday ? Yes, your vlogging style - just taking us along with you for interesting & chatty walks in London - really hits the spot. The new YSL sun-glasses really suit you 😎

[@HannahRicketts]

Thanks so much Will!

[@jj-if6it]

I like that style of vlogging too, it's like we're just strolling around with a friend who is showing us around 😊 It's relaxing

[@elaineedwards2530]

Delightful! This Canadian TOTALLY loves your vlogs!

[@nancycolbert2703]

So does this one🇨🇦

[@leighl3712]

Absolutely brilliant!!! Nothing like our anthem to bring tears to your eyes (probably an expat thing) but the Queen is getting on, let’s face it. ❤️🇬🇧❤️🇬🇧. So awesome that you got to see Prince Edward, like you though Prince William and Catherine would have been the icing on the cake lol. Great job Hannah.

[@natnasci]

I've seen the Queen twice, both times in Vancouver. Once when she was in her 40's, on her way to an event. She looked spectacular. The second time in 1987 on a walk about. She stopped right by me, but chatted to a lady next to me, who was from Seattle! Not even the Commonwealth Ha, ha. I remember thinking, she's short, and has such white teeth. It was weird later when I hopped a bus, and saw her image on the back of the coins as they fell into the fare box. Weird moment, since I had just seen her.

[@karenglaicar5486]

Wow, nice video. Thanks and take care.

[@janetklein9697]

How absolutely interesting and fun.

[@sharonsmilesphotography5553]

Thank you Hannah, for letting us see the world through your eyes. Really incredible to see the royals as kind people.

[@charlotteb6519]

I bet the Queen would've chuckled at that car alarm moment too!

[@HannahRicketts]

100%!!

[@ginaziglar2659]

Wow you seeing Prince Edward was amazing! Great vlog!

[@alisonkovacs9871]

Hi beautiful hannah I hope you are well babe it's so lovely to see you again thanks so much for sharing your lovely exciting vlog in london have a wonderful time stay safe xxx

[@youchwb6005]

Thank you again Hannah for your nice video.

[@jgray4234]

Thank you for another day out for us. In Central Park we have an Alice in Wonderland stature the kids climb on. Hope you had a nice weekend and looking forward to the next video :-) The duck quack at 16:05 LOL Your usual added in humor out of nowhere is so natural and cracks me up every time.

[@AnnaBarnez]

Another enjoyable vlog, love seeing London and your "taking us along with you" I look forward to your weekly vlogs

[@pabawijekoon8618]

thank you so much for always sharing with us the beautiful things that you see💕

[@janicebrowningaquino792]

Hello Hannah from Seacoast NH 😊! Summer seems to have truly arrived in London, so many people in light colored pants and sandals. We are still struggling back and forth between really cool temps and wicked hot days here-it’s been rather odd and frustrating! Yes, I’m an American, but the National Anthem and the Union Jack stir something inside me I can’t explain. It was absolutely LOVELY to hear the music and see the parade-THANK YOU! it may have something to do with my maiden name being Browning-it’s a mystery! I have seen SO many wonderful things in London watching your vlogs! You will LOVE your air con-it makes a massive difference! See you next week 😉!

[@dudeonlooker]

I love these “hanging out with you” vlogs. Can’t wait for next Friday.

[@carolinemedley8925]

Big thank you Hannah from Texas, USA! You are a terrific tour guide. Keep them coming!!🤩

[@SuperCrazybumblebee]

I love hanging out with you. After touring Buckingham Palace you get to hang out in the back garden and coffee shop as long as you like. I recommend not booking too late in the afternoon if you want to stay a bit longer. Also as an Aussie we are rather snobby about coffee. I found that coffee shop at the Italian Gardens to have the best coffee in the UK (just my opinion 😁)

[@angelrosa6758]

Hannah what an awesome blog 😊 I felt like I was there when you said hello to Prince Edward it's so wonderful to see all the festivities being prepared really needed this type of Love since here in the US things are so horrible right now in our country thank you for sharing yours have a great weekend dear see you Friday

[@derrickbishop6461]

Glad I was able to be virtually with you today as we bumped into HRH Prince Edward. Brilliant! I was watching HRH Prince Charles and his wife as they left Canada and now on the sofa watching Edward.

[@snam626]

The restaurants on the canal look amazing!

[@carolinaemerald]

So fun! Thank you for letting us hang out with you. 😊🌷

[@mrsmitchell27]

Going all over London with you as a guide is really fun! Wow, I am impressed by seeing royalty.

[@fionafrazer8820]

Well that was a lovely surprise! Thank you for being so respectful of our Royal family. I know not all young people feel as you do, but as a fierce Royalist (which many of my family don't understand) I appreciate it! I was able to watch the Windsor Horse show live on US TV this weekend - loved every minute! My trip to London 2 weeks ago was everything I had hoped for and I was able to see rehearsals for many of the Jubilee events, including the final act of the Windsor Horse show, which was led my traveling companion's nephew!

[@HannahRicketts]

There’s loads of things coming over the jubilee weekend. I’m sure you’ll love it!

[@heleneg525]

While I'm not exactly a "royalist," Fiona. I do believe in showing respect. It's always better to be nice and act appropriately. Glad you enjoyed your visit (I am so jealous!! -- ha, ha).

[@Stand663]

@@heleneg525 Monarchy is what make’s us British. The royal family are part us. Americans see it as showbiz and glamour.

[@ericbecker710]

We always knew you were a Princess but now it's official---WOW! A ROYAL WAVE from PRINCE EDWARD---& he looked directly at you & you had a "conversation!" VERY IMPRESSIVE. YOU are now a "royal Princess!"👑💖

[@khaterehlunden5136]

Thank your very much very Nice video

[@erinj9642]

Yes! We are heading to Paddington from the airport to catch a train to Manchester when we arrive. Thanks for the preview!

[@surede]

Looking forward to portobello vlog yes they are open now on sundays😊

[@mindyd952]

Your sunnies are lovely on you-ignore the jealous people who hate on them! They just wish they had them. How fun to bump into a prince!!

[@goofyatheart9305]

Hannah, I can’t thank you enough for all your Volgs. I’ve only been to the UK once but thanks to you I can see everything I loved!

[@macscotsman51]

Awesome. The park, the scenery, the band, the weather, you. Well done

[@literallyheather]

Loved every minute of the vlog including the car alarm. 🚨 Prince Edward even! 🤴🇬🇧

[@bristolishome8049]

What great timing! If there was a London bucket list, seeing a royal would def be at the top!

[@magnoliaparadise7537]

What a fantastic vlog! As soon as I heard God save the Queen my eyes filled up! Loved your tour in the park. Brings back so many memories. I've had lots of picnics there with my husband through the years. Thank you ❣️

[@HannahRicketts]

Glad you liked it! The band played it so well!

[@dazzlingchick]

This was wonderful Hannah. Yes it was just like walking along with a friend. I really like the way you film and edit. Your genuine personality make you so easy to watch. Love from the U.S. Continued Blessings and Support. ~Love&Light♥️Carli

[@deeperson478]

I totally agree with you. It's as though you're enjoying a walk with a friend.

[@Sammysmom1]

Hi, hope you are enjoying your weekend. Love seeing amazing London, and the things to do.

[@carolhodson6353]

Loved seeing London at its best.

[@septimaharding7520]

I love your vlogging style, dear Hannah. And your sunglasses commentary made me giggle. You go, girl! Thank you for all your work and being so lovely, lively and charming.

[@maryannwright6572]

Look at you, Hannah, hobnobbing with Royalty! Very nice tour!

[@LRDreaming]

Nothing beats London in the sunshine! We must do more afternoon teas!

[@HannahRicketts]

Let’s go! Claridges?xx

[@annaburch3200]

That was fantastic!! We got to be a part of your first royal sighting! 😊 What a gorgeous day!!!!

[@snukme]

Great vlog as always and you summed up your style perfectly, vlogging like you're hanging out with us. That happens to be the reason why I and probably most of your subscribers enjoy your content, nothing pretentious just like going shopping or walking around town with a friend. With the new sunnies you seem to have a particular shape you go for, good onya!

[@sheilagarrido8204]

A lovely wander Hannah 🎉😊. Thank you!!!!!! Oh and I really like the sunglasses!!!! Very sharp👍💯🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@shanlynwebb]

I like the new sun glasses very much 👍🏼

[@geof1954]

What a wonderful, relaxing Vlog, Hannah…thank you very much.

[@jessbooth5495]

Wow, Hannah! You’ve surpassed yourself again this week!!! I wasn’t expecting an encounter with Prince Edward. I’m loving the British/Royal content building up to the Jubilee. I liked your balance of details from a little close up of the ducks to lovely panning shots of the Italian fountains. Another bucket list item! 🤣 Also, love the Sunglasses, very chic 😎👏☺️

[@normalincoln8502]

Oh how lovely, it's good to see Prince Edward. Lovely London as well. Looks so beautiful...thanks Hannah...

[@mitzi8100]

Wonderful vlog! And I totally agree, it's time for another afternoon tea!!

[@sheilafaire1874]

Hannah, I love your walk-a-bouts! I appreciate it so much. You remind me of my daughter. Your common sense, kindness and ability to see the joy in all things make you a delight to watch. Thank you for showing us the real London. So glad you got to see Prince Edward! Have a great summer! from Missouri, USA

[@lisamacdonald9375]

How amazing was that bit of royalty and regalia? 🇬🇧

[@AnitaAnneLloyd]

How exciting brushing with royalty in the park. Love it! So happy that you also enjoy and respect royalty. I love you Hannah.

[@babschmid]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful walk through Hyde Park. The treat on top was definitely seeing the Royal prince in person!!

[@tonygriffiths2485]

Thats my lovely bit of one year old eye candy for the day. thank goodness for the charm, with and cuddly giggle thrown in. Thankyou :) Always interesting :)

[@DeborahMaufer]

Really enjoy your vlogs, whether you're shopping, checking out the architecture downtown, or investigating parks and gardens. Thanks for letting us experience London vicariously every Friday with you! 💐🦆😎💕

[@SummerLightTheatre]

Such a great video, thank you! Love your chatty, friendly style! We had our first Royal sighting yesterday. We were up to see the Jubilee Pageant - stumbled out of a coffee shop on St James’s just in time to hear a cheer and see Kate drive by smiling and waving. She was so beautiful!!

[@emelisema]

Can’t believe there isn’t a better viewing angle for that beautiful fountain! It looked absolutely gorgeous so would think there would be prominent viewing spot… Thanks for taking us around again a beautiful sunny day in London!

[@ericaschmidt1966]

I have seen Diana twice. Once in Australia as the car she was in drove past my house. And the second time she almost ran me over in her blue Mercedes just outside of Kensington Palace. Got very close to her that time she stopped and rolled down her car window and said hello and then drove off.

[@globalsitter]

Thank you for sharing such a lovely day in Hyde Park. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour on a gloomy day in Alberta, CA. 😍

[@janbrown9924]

You make me laugh as you are a joy to watch and love all your comments . Another enjoyable video 🥰🥰

[@carolswain1302]

Hi Hannah, thank you for your amazing Vlogs. It has been a while since I have been able to travel to the UK. Your Vlogs take my back there & London is as beautiful as I remember. 💕

[@paulfranks37]

and with that my week is complete, a perfect end, stop working, shut down my work laptop and watch a Hannah vlog. Thanks Hannah for your commitment to getting out and taking us with you every week. Stay well, keep safe x

[@naelissimmer4152]

This was a nice walk around video. The park is beautiful and what a surprise actually seeing a member of the royal family! Love your narration style and it does seem almost like we’re just having a conversation. Your style is very welcoming and friendly and I always enjoy it. To be honest, I compare any other vloggers I watch to you and they fall short, imho. Thanks for taking us along and sharing your day with us!

[@HannahRicketts]

Thanks so much, glad you like the vlogs!

[@thenomadichistorian9922]

Oh WOW, that was so cool

[@kaylynkoontz6070]

First of all I have to say how absolutely cool that you got to see Prince Edward in person. So very jealous right now lol. Also I love that you can go into a park such as Hyde Park in the middle of a booming metropolis such as London and it's so quiet and peaceful. I absolutely love it. And amazing vlog as usual Hannah thank you so much every week from the bottom of my heart thank you so much

[@heatherkincaid6607]

Hi Hannah! Another excellent vlog! What A treat to see Prince Edward. I was lucky enough to see the Queen and Prince Phillip on a trip to London years ago and I was so thrilled! 💓

[@jamesromaine4321]

Hannah What a great walk. I am writing down every place I want to visit. Love the sunglasses James

[@shirleyfitzgerald3379]

Very exciting I got overwhelmed U make this so fun Love your enthusiasm Prince Edward wow Great video possibly best Thank u

[@jacquig3116]

Loved the tour of Hyde Park. Such a cool park. I used to hang out at Speaker's Corner, back in the day when I lived there. So cool, that you spotted a royal.

[@sandraking4068]

What a lovely day you had - thank you for sharing!

[@jamesglass5152]

So cool bumping in to. The Earl, Prince Edward. You have fantastic vlogs.

[@carloschbn]

Amazing as always Hannah! Only you to bring us such a beautiful vlog like this! And, what a perfect day for strolling in the park and seeing all those Jubilee events there. By the way, you are lucky to have had the chance to find Prince Edward so near from you all. Edward and the Duchess Sophie seem to be really very cool. Hannah, I wish you a wonderful and a beautiful day and weekend, you really deserve it for making our fridays a very happy day!

[@HannahRicketts]

They seem like fun royals for sure!

[@rebekahlow8375]

What a wonderful surprise to see Prince Edward.I loved the walk today! Love from Vermont

[@edmundworrell1864]

Hi Hannah this is another fabulous VLOG I loved the walk around Hyde Park and seeing a member of the Royal Family

[@stephanieruggles7783]

Thank you Hannah for bringing back so many happy childhood memories to me. It is always nice to go there. I remember a small hill covered by rhododendrons in full bloom with bees buzzing all over. My favorite park in London is Bushy park. The icing on the cake was hearing the national anthem and also you seeing Prince Edward. Cant wait for you next walk about video. What a pity that the Diana memorial fountain is on and off. You are absolutely right: it cant be so hard to keep it running.

[@beneditocrispim9554]

That's a surprise for Hannah, to meet a member of a royal family!! We could see your feelings. This majestic garden I haven't yet seen, the little ducks observed for your mother was so cute. Happily I was using headphones, because the best part for me was to listen the garden fountains, the surrounding water sounds was perfect. 🤩🌷🌲

[@60margie]

Thank you Hannah, your videos are a delight to watch with beautiful music and gorgeous venues.

[@hollydyer8992]

Wonderful vlog ❤️ I enjoyed it a lot! Thank you for always showing us around London!

[@joannemorrall4171]

Hi Hannah, Thank you so much for posting this vlog. I really enjoyed the walk around Hyde park with you. I know there is a fair few people who dislike the Royal family but not me. I am honoured and very proud we have them and i'm very much looking forward to the Jubilee in June. I'm very patriotic and not only with the Royals but also when England host massive sporting events, concerts and any big occasion like the proms, Wimbeldon tennis and the like. Thanks again Hannah for letting us tag along with you. x

[@hildabrunski7400]

Fantastico vlog Hannah! I love seeing all the different areas of Hyde Park. We always look forward to Friday as we know you'll have something exciting for us to watch!

[@steverennie5787]

Fantastic video Hannah! What a treat to see the pomp and circumstance, a parade with military bands (love it!) and Prince Edward. So glad you were there. And what a lovely day to see Hyde Park and seeing all the people enjoying a sunny, spring day. You're so lucky to have two iconic parks at your fingertips (Hyde and Regent). Thanks so much for taking us on your walk! 'Til next time.

Thanks so much for watching Steve

Hi Hannah, That was a very enjoyable vlog, what an eclectic mix of chat, music, royalty, parkland, ice cream with plenty of sunshine ☀️☀️ to go with it.

That was fantastic timing Hannah! As an American Anglophile, I would have just about fainted to see royalty. Nice to hear your reaction to that chance encounter. I love London parks in spring, but have never been to Hyde Park. Next time!
