The Prince of Wales, The Princess of Wales & The Princess Royal at Windsor Castle

The Rugby World Cup is underway, so Tins managed to get us a meeting with the Patrons of the WRU, RFU & SRU at Windsor Castle.
Hask & Alex can't believe their luck at being invited along to have tea with Tins' mother-in-law + The Prince & Princess of Wales.

I do wish people would realize that praising and complimenting members of the Royal Family while having a dig at Harry and Meghan is actually an insult to the BRF. It’s saying they’re only good in comparison. I know you, and so many of the commenters here who did that, don’t mean it that way, but it is the effect. H&M are no longer Royals and have effectively divorced themselves from the family - therefore are no longer members of the family by their own design. Supporting the British Royal Family is about the Royals & their actual, active extended family, not how they are in contrast to their two worst members. Especially when they have nothing to do with each other. Families who have ex-family members like H&M don’t continuously compare themselves to them. Frankly, they don’t even continue to think about them. We shouldn’t either. The comparisons are for H&M to suffer, not the Royals.

I feel sorry for you if an adult discussion like this is not the norm in your experience. I grew up assuming that eating meals as a family and associated discussion was the norm, only to find out as I got into my teens that eating meals as a family wasn’t the norm among families of friends and schoolmates. After most dinners, conversation lasted ling after everyone finished eating. When I went to college, discussions among family was what I missed most. When I became a parent, my spouse & I continued this practice of family meals with the new family we established. I have found that family meals are even more not the norm today than when I was young. Interacting in a family is the first manner in which humans begin learning and integrating socializing skills. To the extent there is less interaction in a family environment, socialization becomes more challenging. The fact that so much interaction among people occurs by typing into a device and not speaking directly to other humans, the fact that socialization skills are lacking by many.

Catherine, Princess of Wales, is so effortlessly elegant. Notice how everyone stops to listen when she begins to speak. More so than the others, actually, and I think that is because there is the expectation that you know it will be a nugget of truth, honesty and wisdom. She does not just speak to hear herself speak, nor does Ann, Princess Royal, and they do not try to dominate the room. She (Catherine) is graceful in her mannerism and in her speech. What an awesome Queen William has picked for himself. She will be remembered. Princess Ann is also so very valued, her opinion matters and it comes through.
