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.

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. These women play a very important role, and do so beautifully. As an American with Sussex and Scottish ancestry, I am proud of the Royals in this room!

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.

@@jojijosette5946 What's your point? I think I said the same: she needs to relax 🙄 I wouldn't call her shy at all, she's actually an extremely confident woman. However, she seems to be very conscious about her appearance which gives her a lot of unnecessary anxiety. She should learn from Ann, who won the heart of the nation not with her appearance

[@christinedonovan2704]

Princess Anne is remarkable. So smart and so grounded.

[@suzanneburns2931]

Who’s going to debate the Princess Royal ? What a pleasure to watch this pod cast . I loved this . Everyone was a pleasure to watch .❤️

[@nancylee1625]

What a delightful conversation between adults. Thank you for including us.

[@lileelisamc.4722]

I just love the Princess Royal, her sense of humor, her straightforwardness Kate becomes increasingly gorgeous... Sporty in her own right.

[@dianemoorhouse6802]

We need more of these types of interactions on different topics- this is great! I'd love to see a whole series with William, Catherine, Zara, Mike, Edward and Sophie along with Anne. Some kind of round table talk or something. They could call it "Nights At The Round Table" :)

[@MizJilly]

Love it!

[@ronnie7075]

Good idea my dear.

[@laluna5177]

That's a great idea 😊

[@S_J_banana]

Same here

[@MaryWehmeier]

Clever! Great idea!

[@WhiteRvssian2023]

I really like these people. Highly intelligent, humorous, knowledgeable and not the merest hint of snobbishness.

[@tulinfirenze1990]

There is a distinction between "old" and "new" money. Real old money (of which the Royal Family are some of the oldest) don't see themselves as "rich" or look down on others Their wealth has just always been there to sustain them and allow them to live, contribute to the community in which they dwell and assist others. That's just the way their lives have always been. New money is flashy, gauche and boorish and will constantly tell you about their latest purchase or will take over a conversation and brag about where they've been. Worse still, they talk about their money - something old money would be LOATHE to do.

Excellent podcast! Watched it 5 times! The more I watch the funnier it gets. What an amazing group together. My favorite 2 parts are Princess Catherine’s reaction to Mike high jump skills - you can tell she will make him high jump for their next get together. Challenge accepted! And second; Princess Anne’s “I was brilliant!” As a mom to two athletes 😂 I would vote this as the podcast of the year! Maybe decade!

[@almawalker1432]

That was epic self deprecating. British humour at its best.

[@aussiebushgirl1829]

Princess Anne is an absolute gem! Incredibly down to earth with a wonderfully dry sense of humour. 🙏

[@emanuellec.5354]

What a wonderful thing!!!!!! I didn't know I needed to see Mike, Anne, Kate and Will together so much. I LOVED IT!! ❤

[@lulamantshephe5595]

Me too

[@kimgosling9784]

Agreed!

[@krisboozybreath8214]

Brilliant! Just brilliant! 👏 👏. This is how you produce a podcast. Catherine is so beautiful and humble, Anne is warm and knowledgeable, and William just oozes leadership 😊

[@77wilbad]

I’m a South African, but it is wonderful to see this “normal” interaction between the whole group. Yes I agree about the Royals roles in the conversation. Thank you.

[@georgechadwick3571]

Royal family’s press team need to take a look at this and realise this is the most relatable they’ve been in years, fantastic pod guys!!!!!!! This is how you do it!!
