I don't think anything will ever beat his "Prince Charles and Princess Diana showing up for tea on New Years day" story

[@eleanor.shadow]

What he didn’t say in this version was that Hugh Laurie’s son was also there (a child at the time), and his name is also Charles. The boy was misbehaving and Hugh Laurie said, very sternly, “Charlie!” Which made the prince stand to attention and ask, startled, “yes?” Much to the comedian’s chagrin 😆

[@samfisher6606]

@@eleanor.shadow that makes it even better!

[@eleanor.shadow]

@@samfisher6606 yep 😆

[@withonelook1985]

@@eleanor.shadow He tells about 6 different versions of that part. On "As yet untitled" The boy turns on the TV and it was Lauries wife who shouted "CHARLIE" and startled 'His Maj' as Stephen would say.

[@johndeever]

Only works for a British audience, though. In 🇺🇸 we adore Stephen too, but as you can see by Downey and Duvall’s faces, we don’t know what Spitting Image is.

[@loraineriddell7157]

Stephen is a master at storytelling! Although he crashed Elton John's unfinished story but Elton was too polite to tell him off 😂

[@robertschwartz4810]

So, you noticed that, too!

[@carolinel6236]

Love Stephen but he does tend to take over which is a shame

[@jennybettles7680]

Elton looking Stephen as if to say WTF! 😂

[@NotoriousEKB]

To be fair, Sir Elton did say he didn't remember anything about the experience except that it was in the BBC lobby. 😅

[@tankgirl6446]

Elton polite?

[@MooseTheMau]

Stephen Fry is brilliant. Such a terrific story-teller!

[@dontbefatuousjeffrey2494]

Stephen Fry is, and always will be, a treasure for humankind.

[@exploringandstargazing]

I could listen to Stephen Fry all day. I love the Harry Potter audiobooks because of this man.

[@DorianPhQ]

He reads his own book on Audible, Mythos, and I fell asleep listening to the tale of Eros and Psyche three times because of his voice. It's so soothing.

[@hypokratesthehypocrite3513]

@@DorianPhQ I’ve been reading along with the book and audio book and it is simply brilliant his passions for the myths is infectious

[@OlliWilkman]

I recommend his autobiographies (Moab is my Washpot, The Fry Chronicles and More Fool Me) as audiobooks. Some of these stories (like the one about the Prince of Wales visiting) are straight from those.e

[@LuigiFan23]

harry potter fan xD 🤣🤣

[@ripdbtpoo1441]

And that's all? I am greatly surprised.

[@thatchoirgirl94]

I'd go to church if Stephen did the services. I knew a pastor who didn't really talk too much about "the whole Jesus stuff", but more about ethics and how to be a good human and member of a community/society. Very inspirational. He had the congregation in stitches on the regular, too.

[@socat9311]

Exactly. To me, this person is a true believer in a way.

[@ellenmarch3095]

I would absolutely attend every week a humanist sermon in anglican garb by Stephen Fry.

[@Telstar62a]

When I was in high school, one of the priests in my church (American Episcopal) mentioned that he'd had to drop out of Divinity School because he no longer believed. I think the thing was that he'd thought about it so much that shades of doubt crept in. Several years went by, and he came back to the faith, and he said it was probably just what he'd needed at the time.

[@DyslecticAttack]

Same here, I don't really believe in Jesus and an almighty God and such. To me the idea of an all knowing, all powerful God that created this current reality being "all good" was rather depressing. But there was still one preacher who I'd enjoy regardless, because they'd talk more about humans and ethics than about God and the bible. No "this old book that's been retranslated and twisted time and time again tells you this is immoral and you'll burn in hell" but "wouldn't it be great if people were nicer to one another" and "wouldn't earth be a little more like paradise if people tried to understand one another".

[@davidhuggan6315]

Stephen Fry replied to me on Twitter with a brilliant answer. I told him that I had a dream that he served me breakfast dressed as Zippy from Rainbow, and he replied, "No, that really happened..."

[@MyreW36]

I love Stephen Fry's audiobooks of Harry Potter! As a Dutchie it really helped me improve my English when I was at Uni. Plus Stephen's voice is a joy to listen to.

[@mrlister2000]

Stephen Fry is a national institution. When younger he suffered badly with imsonia so he read as many books as possible, which is why he is a clever and very knowledgeable as he is. It's a shame you didn't include the story he was telling when Nicole kidman was there, and she was in awe of his genius!

[@MetteC5]

His brilliancy was to spend his insomniac nights reading - otherwise said, he's naturally brilliant ;)

[@hopebgood]

@@MetteC5 I think this needs editing also 😉

[@MetteC5]

@@hopebgood congratulations on that fantastic contribution. You must be a kid, so let me help you understand: I was in a context with very poor internet and had no idea that my 1st comment (now deleted) had gone through. Since I've endured 52+ years of insomnia - that's 19000+ nights without sleeping, kid - it's a painful subject for me, so I didn't express myself as I'd wanted to: I edited the comment that my internet connection allowed me to see had gone through. Is it clearer now, sweetie, or do you still need me to help you understand?

[@peterpan3022]

tbf he just told a fairly common story about greek mythology there and her being in awe was more showing her nonexistent knowledge than him showing his genius.

[@MetteC5]

@@peterpan3022 Knowledge is relative, which you'd know if you were as knowledgeable as you try to appear.

[@GenericGooner]

A national treasure. Would love to attend a dinner party with him giving an after dinner speech

[@embreis2257]

even the prince of wales visits him for tea at home

[@Kevin-mx1vi]

It's a privilege to share the planet with Stephen Fry, let alone the same country. A national treasure.

[@True_Heretic]

Stephen Fry's sensitivity is a huge part of his appeal as a human being. Fate bless him!

[@broms316]

His Harry Potter audiobook work was just one big "best moment." Masterpiece.

[@macwholivesonmars4911]

[@captpicard6894]

Even the mighty Elton John is quite happy to defer to Stephen Fry, the master of the chat show anecdote.

[@susanbartle6123]

I could listen to Stephen Fry for hours, he is brilliant.

[@tuomasronnberg5244]

What I like is that apparently Stephen Fry can tell his friends out of the blue that prince of Wales is coming for tea this afternoon, and they just accept it as a fact.

[@gerdforster883]

According to his autobiography, they only believed him after the security officers showed up a day or two earlier.

[@jillmoorhouse8888]

I could listen to Stephen and his stories all day long

[@badassdanthepowerman6438]

Man Stephen Fry with glasses looks a lot like Elton John, crazy how one accessory can change a look like that.

[@iainjames03]

I love how he got the household together and told them Prince Charles is coming over - and *_no-one_* questioned it because of course he would be!

[@antoniocastellano7825]

I think the guests knew that Stephen Fry's parents were friends with Princess Anne, or her first (or second?) husband. So he can invite Prince Charles anytime, and the (then) Prince of Wales can drop in anytime.

[@dodette]

The part of Hugh Laurie hoovering the carpet after he said it was my favorite bit 😂

[@markpeterson7298]

Stephen Fry a wonderful man a brilliant mind. A National treasure ❤️

Stephen Fry is a unique human being. I love the man and was lucky to spend 15 minutes with him all to myself in toronto a few years ago! We talked about classical guitar and I recited a cynical poem I had written about Palmbeach. He was so gracious and told me he loved it

[@DrCrabfingers]

How many people can you think of, that Royalty would make a determined effort to join for afternoon tea? I love how the audience went "ooh" when he said Princess Diana.

[@challenger2031]

I should know all too well how good of a human being he is. I honestly have had many moments in my life which were good but this was absolutely amazing. He invited me to Soho hotel for tea. Long story short he met my mother when she was creating a charity about children needing technology to breathe at a radio station. It was one of the most memorable moments of my life. The tea was truly incredible but I didn't have much because I had a huge lunch on the train and didn't have much. I was so embarrassed but he was so geniune. A moment that I can assure you wasn't made up and I absolutely cherish every moment about that ❤ Oh and also he beat me at Top Trumps. 😂

[@catherinebailey2131]

Yes, we don't want to frighten the Americans with "philosophy."😂

[@Etamnanki]

He's right, though. Among the reasons for the name change were fears that a) most Americans wouldn't know what a 'philosopher's stone' is and b) kid's wouldn't read something with philosopher in the title, so they put sorcerer to make it sound more interesting.

[@cqtaylor]

The United States has had its fair share of philosophers, like Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Thomas Paine. The concept of "philosopher's stone" is a part of Old European mythology. In the United States, rather than using an obscure stone to turn lead into gold, in the 19th Century, they just panned for it from a river or mined for it.
