Thinking of the time when Prince William saw Rebecca English’s foot was injured. He saw to getting some ice ( frozen peas if I recall) to get Rebecca some relief. He’s got a good relationship ‘ regular people’ and the media. He seems to understand that everyone needs a hand, and if he can help he does.

@@willainerosenau6782 Wow, what a way to miss the point being made which was that he is, as she said, 'just a nice guy' who doesn't expect admiration for doing the most basic acts of compassion that anyone would do. The royals who succeed are those with humility who realise being royal just a role, they are not innately 'special' or above others and they keep their feet on the ground unlike those who want to lord it over us, expect the media to be censored in their favour and have acquired reputations for being appalling human beings. William is not one of those and will make an excellent ambassador for the UK.

I agree with your comments on Rebecca English. Mr Eden... I'm not so sure about. I'm sorry to say he doesn't always paint the honest Picture of the Royals and leaving out one small Point...can make a big difference in How Our Royals are perceived. Today was the ideal example...discussing the Royals Income he didn't mention that their private Income is Taxable and as we pay tax to the Monarch in effect...HM Tax Office. The Queen could have left it as the Monarch was except ...BUT Charles decided many many years ago... His Income will be taxable and he paid tax...and Then The Queen agreed and does the same... Prince Charles as he was...Greatly Changed the Dutchy of Cornwall and ploughed his income into It and turned it around in monumental ways ...And that's Pretty special !! He really is a world class landlord. Increasing his Income increases the tax he pays...Country Wins. Richard could have said...of course they have paid TAX on this income.

Princess Dianna may have been referred to as Lady Di or Dianna when she was married to Prince Charles, but she wasn't referred to as Dianna Spencer. Calling Catherine, the Princess of Wales Kate Middleton has got to stop.

[@katyb2793]

I agree. If they can't fit everything in the headline, then why not at least Princess Cate (yes with a C! I can't believe she gets called Kate when her name starts with a C..) that would be the same as Princess Diana. And if they can possibly squeeze in a bit more, Princess Catherine. Do they realise that Princess Cate is actually 1 letter shorter than Kate Middleton? 😮

[@Gnv-q2m]

Well Diana was born a Lady and Catherine a commoner. She came onto the scene as Kate but later asked even her friends to call her Catherine. Neither could be called Princesses directly as Anne, Eugenia, Beatrice and Charlotte are as they weren’t born Princesses. They could only be called by their names followed by the Princess of Wales title e.g Catherine, Princess of Wales.

[@valerieconner1204]

You're so right. It's intentionally dismissive and disrespectful, and she doesn't deserve to be treated that way. She's been nothing but kind, loyal, hard-working and respectful to the Royal family. Plus, she has given them three children, who she's raised to be kind, well-mannered, well-adjusted and just wonderful. You will never see antics like Harry's from them.

[@ynys_mon6928]

Re: the question about William not having had an investiture as Prince of Wales. Richard’s response is very much an English view. As a Welsh person I appreciated William’s decision, and I don’t take it that he’s going to dial down on other pomp and ceremony. His father’s investiture was beset by controversy, including terrorist threats from Welsh nationalists. William and Catherine spent the first years of their marriage living In Anglesey, so I think they are a bit more clued in to how Welsh people view their roles as Prince and Princess of Wales. We love their support for Wales, but the whole investiture thing just stirs up memories from the distant past reminding the Welsh how the English conqueror invested his son as Prince of Wales in place of the rightful Welsh Prince.

[@katyb2793]

Thank you for explaining this, and explaining it so well. As a non UK citizen I had no idea.

[@irishgirl6881]

@@ynys_mon6928 great points. William like the King have a great love for Wales and the Welsh people

[@leannenorris4650]

The other thing to remember was that Prince Charles had effectively been Prince of Wales since he was 5 years old, so the Investiture was to mark him being officially recognised around his 21st birthday. William by contrast was 40 years old when he became PoW. At a completely different point in his life, so it would seem a bit anachronistic for a middle aged man.

[@michelegraham9044]

I’m sad that the Welsh people STILL feel that way. Like many black people who want to live in the past. I’m known there are racists across the world but they cling to the religion introduced by white people as they have in our Pacific nations. As an Aussie we celebrate our convict past. One of my ancestors was from the north of England and stole a pair of boots and was shipped off here at FIFTEEN years old!! I’m very proud of him for making a good life for himself and his ancestors. Here you’re not a “real “ Aussie unless you’ve got a convict in your family tree. Of course when it comes to sports the gloves are off. EVERYONE loves beating the Poms whatever the sport. Just a tidbit for you. One of the highlights of my life was watching Australian play Wales at Cardiff Arms Park in the 1980s. It helped that we won of course but even if we hadn’t the singing that reverberated around the stadium was magnificent and the Welsh people were so gracious in defeat, congratulating us in our Wallaby beanies etc. Then we spent the night at a pub in Usk. I swear the apples I picked from one of the trees out the back were the best I’ve ever had to this day.

[@railiedouglas3018]

You’re quite correct Rebecca about the popularity of the Monarchy in Australia 🇦🇺 & the reason for it. I certainly feel the Westminster system of Government with the Monarch as a non political Head Of State, is the most functional form of democratic government in the world. I’m not saying it’s perfect. The incumbents of successive governments leave a great deal to be desired at times but the Monarchy remains a source of constancy & reason, guiding the Nation’s of the Commonweath into harmonious & mutually beneficial relationships both internally & externally. That was certainly the purpose & function of the late Queen & remains so for her son King Charles. We are fortunate to have them as dedicated to our welfare as they are.

If America is anything to go by, Presidents can be anyone who can buy their way into the position e.g. Trump, or end up being Dictators e.g. Putin.

[@jimcraig2521]

I'm surprised at the confusion about William's investiture as Prince of Wales. At the time the sentiment in Wales was against the concept of PoW not being Welsh so William was sensitive to the controversy and chose not to have the ceremony. He made several tours of Wales and borrowed on his and Catherine's early residence as husband and wife and his employment as a search and rescue pilot. It was a considered decision by William and there is almost nothing said about it now.

It is Catherine, Princess of Wales. No one ever referred to the previous Princess of Wales as Diana Spencer. I think the media resent how popular Catherine is and try to belittle her.

[@elizabethunderwood3947]

Diana Spencer was called Lady Di far more frequently than she was called the Princess of Wales. The use of formal or nick names by the public and the media shows that these people, who find themselves where they are by chance, are regarded as public property. That's the price they pay for their obscene wealth and privilege in a country where half our children are living in poverty.

[@asturianaenmuros]

All well and good for your Spanish wife, Richard. I have yet to read a Spanish newspaper which refers to Letizia Ortiz, so the Spanish seem to show more respect than British newspapers and media in general. Furthermore, 'Hola', the Spanish owner of Hello magazine, ran an article on European Royal women last week. They made reference to Maxima of The Netherlands, Mathide of Belgium, Victoria of Sweden, Mette-Marit of Norway, Mary of Denmark, Charlene of Monaco, and, you've guessed it, Kate Middleton. Were they to follow their use of titles for every other woman, the title should be Catherine of Wales. If we can't show due respect to our Royal Family, no one else will. Perhaps your august panel can give their opinion?

[@sammc2601]

They did, they all re explained the algorithms as do other content creators on their channels.

[@deborah85728]

@@sammc2601 the algorithm will change if you start using her correct title for goodness sake they aren’t set in stone , Sophie went seamlessly from Wessex to Edinburgh , never saw her maiden name used . How can it be correct when even Meghan is called Meghan Duchess of Sussex and she is no longer a working Royal but The Princess of Wales is Kate Middleton ?

[@sammc2601]

@@deborah85728 they don't care about changing the algorithms. The DM et al are businesses. They care first about profits and in THIS quarter--achieved through clicks. Again, they are at bottom, a business.

[@sammc2601]

@@deborah85728 they're not here to change algorithms, they are here to read them to maximize profit. A long time royal follower, it's only 50/50 I would ID Sophie through Wessex but Lady Diana Spencer, Sarah Ferguson, Meghan Markle* would by most (?] be recognized. YOU could change the algorithms by never clicking on a Kare Middleton headline. No clicks will get the ĎM's attention. Catherine has made it clear what she prefers. Having said that, I wonder how much she cares about royal titles in the pfaff of daily life. I do think she cares as far as ceremonies, history goes. She really is a lovely woman, a class act.

[@ginawiggles918]

Rebecca, Jo, & Richard are solid Palace Confidential favorites. All the other regular and occasional commentators are perfectly fine with me. Even when their opinions differ from mine, they are, for the most part, well mannered and respectful. The one exception is Tessa Dunlop. I couldn't more pleased she no longer appears on the show. Fortunately, she is now Piers Morgan's problem. Apparently he is fine having his program resemble that old, American embarrassment known as The Jerry Springer Show. Farewell, Tess. You are not missed.

[@sammc2601]

OMG I had forgotten about that screeching bulldozer. I would ff through her and stopped watching when not possible due to her dominating 58 seconds of every minute. Agree with all the other guests' behavior, respectful.

Thank you Amir for bringing up the "Kate Middleton" question. The panel's answers were complete BS. All three of them. Yes, Jo we know you aren't being deliberately disrespectful. But you also aren't making a point of being respectful. How hard would it be to just call her Catherine on your show?? Make that your policy and stick to it. I'm sure there are plenty of other "rules" you follow on your show that we aren't aware of. If a panelist can't just observe the rule (looking at you Charlotte), don't have them on.

Excellent idea to answer questions from the public, it is a very nice attention. Today, it was a real pleasure to see my favorite trio participate in this informative and joyful conversation. Richard is very elegant tonight, and he often is. I also love his ties, he has very beautiful ones. In addition, these ladies are magnificent. Jo, always so pretty, sunny and sparkling, wears a color that sublimates her and Rebecca is more and more beautiful. We watch them from France and their outfits are commented on between us, it is our frivolous side, but that said the most important thing remains what these people tell us and teach us. I send a huge thank you to this trio for all their excellent videos, and I wish them a happy end of the year.
