I thought the King's decision to add Anne and Edward was a clever solution to a problem. It would probably have been a lot harder/ more controversial/ take longer to try and remove Harry and Andrew from their posts as Counsellors of State as Andrew has never been convicted of anything and I think Harry is technically still a resident of the UK as I believe he still has a tenancy at Frogmore Cottage. If the rules were changed to remove Harry and Edward as COS, the reasons given to exclude them in these rule changes might have further consequences. If you say other than the spouse of the monarch the COS must be 'working' blood royals over 21 you would then have William, Edward, Anne and then the Duke of Gloucester. If they want to keep 4 COS other than the spouse of the monarch then they could soon be running out of people.
As usual, A great show! Snazzy backdrop you've got now, though I prefer the old one. Glad you will return to it in the New Year. Why not interview Lady Colin Campbell on one of her books? She's an excellent author and knows so much about the Royal Family.
The state visit is our chance to make up to South Africa for Meghan being so disrespectful to the country in her podcasts. We can assure them we never for a moment believed they celebrated the 'spectacle' by dancing in the streets as they did when Nelson Mandela was freed.
I don't see that Meghan who is American can in any way represent Britain. An apology from King Charles over Meghan's utterances would be absurd. Who anywhere believes anything Meghan says about anything?
@@WeLiveByTheSea My apologies Naomania, I was responding to Helen Gunter on your thread. I'm sure King Charles will warmly welcome South Africa's President and a certain person's name will never be mentioned.
Would Harry being allowed back, include Meghan being with him. If so, I for one will lose all respect for KC. To allow that woman to come back after everything she has done is a big fat NO!
Charles NEEDS to be KING CHARLES and totally take them out. Strip the vultures of their titles, revoke lease on Frogmore, let them live privately, 😅. When William ascends the throne I don't think he's going to be as soft as Charles, then maybe things WILL get done properly and swiftly.
Agree- KC needs to be like a KING & clean up the mess now & not leave it for Prince William. It’s evident , Harry is NOT reliable & trustworthy. If he does return- it won’t be fair for Prince William and all the other working Royals. Harry made his bed, let him sleep in it. He needs to be accountable for all his actions. Hello- He’s an ADULT.
Do you think the King is waiting for the release of Hazmat’s book? Hopefully that will be the final straw for Charles. Really, the Palace has one opportunity to get this right, so time and consultation are important. Personally, I think not inviting the Scamexess to the coronation would send the most powerful message of all.
King Charles made clear in his maiden speech that he wished Harry and Meghan well as they live their lives overseas. Whatever he does will be recorded for history and he would not want to be regarded as reacting with cruelty or vindictiveness, or even overly forgiving. The C of S matter must be seen as a fair and reasonable response for future monarchs as well.
@@jasperhorace7147 your right it would, but it seems no matter what they do Charles is holding out for that "olive branch". Personally I wish they'd quit stripping the trees of branches, enough is enough. They've done damage that's beyond an olive branch. Just say NO MORE and stand by it!
Because of the feudal nature of the monarch. As fourth in line to the throne he is a CoS. The irony is that as heirs of heirs produce their own heirs the spares lose this role. When Charles and Andrew produced children Anne and Edward lost theirs. It is not as if they became less competent but then the monarchical system has nothing to do with merit. The only blessing is the order of the births. Charles is eminently more qualified than Andrew to be king and William than Harry. Shame though that the crown could not have been passed to Anne.
I think this is KC3 letting Harry know that if he is miserable in his marriage, that they will take him back with open arms. I don't believe that KC3 will let that happen if he brings the wife though. I'm fairly certain it would come with boundaries, rules, etc. and I bet he could go back sans Rachel Ragland. Lord knows he'll need to go into intensive mental health counseling after they divorce.... which they will.
Even if Harry comes back alone , he does not deserve these very prestigious roles. He has shown himself to be a vindictive, jealous liar, and though I understand Charles sentiments as a father , it cannot be forgotten that Harry has done everything he can to destroy the RF. Both Andrew and Harry should have been stripped of the Councillor of State roles , and Charles walking on eggshells to avoid wounding their feelings is ridiculous. As for Andrew and his comeback, well, if he is very patient, and he quietly does good work with charities out of the goodness of his heart 😬 with no arrogance and entitlement, there just maybe a way back. Andrew has not slandered the RF like Harry has done , and doors are being kept open for Harry 🤢. But it will take years , if ever
@@AA-ud5eb Agree completely. It is painful for KC no doubt but I feel he should stop avoiding antagonising Harry as the team here mention is happening. Has Harry spared anyone's feelings with his arrogance, lies, disgraceful behaviour and facilitating Markle's lies?!
Ah... the triple threat was wonderful as always! Just an observation: I'd love to see/hear more about William and Kate, especially since they are senior royals. I know the PR antics of Harry and his wife makes for "great" interest, but I hate that they appear to get more media coverage than the Prince and Princess of Wales.
Agreed. And it is well past time that we ALL stop referring to the beautiful Princess of Wales as Kate. How many married women, that have taken the surname of her husband, are still being referred to with their maiden name ffs? God bless William and Catherine, the Prince & Princess of Wales.
Yes, yes, yes. Devote more time to the working members of the Royal Family and far less to Harry and his far-from-royal wife. Maybe when his book comes out a little more press.
As always your episodes include wonderful discussion. Perhaps, as with all families, The King knows a little more about his brother than we do and he has made the best choices available to him .

The King has certainly dealt with Prince Andrew but now it's time to do the same with Harry. He needs to be permanently dropped from anything Royal once and for all. He had a meeting with Andrew and told him he would no longer be doing anything Royal so the same meeting should take place with Harry!
Totally agree with this Harry needs to be told. He choose his life time to get on with it if it’s going wrong then its on him and he will have to deal with it. If it requires a divorce he will not be the only person to have to go through this.
The King will do it all in good time, there are probably more pressing issues at the moment. He’s just appointed Edward as Counsellor of State so the Duke of E title will happen at some future date. The date has probably all been worked out before Phillip passed.

It takes months for a Bill to go through Parliament. There is one before them right now. The third reading in the House of Commons will be on the 9th of December. If it passes, then it goes to the House of Lords for discussion and three more readings. Then, and only then will it go to the King for assent.
As a South African, I look forward to details on the upcoming state visit. We’re so closely connected yet its still extremely costly and cumbersome to get a visa to visit the UK (unlike so many others that can come and go through the UK as they please). Really think that needs to be looked at.
Harry grow up! You have blasted the UK. Now you want the life style, money, prestige, jewels. Sometimes you can cut off your nose to spite your face. Sometimes you can go beyond forgiveness, and Harry you have really been nasty beyond that with your family. If they cast you.off, I would not blame them.
King Charles 3rd has always said for many years that he wants a slimmed down RF - they therefore have to lessen their load. IMO there is no way back for Andrew or Harry - We have the hard-working royals we need...
Do you really need a monarchy? Perhaps it depends on the public’s appetite for gossip about them that helps sell newspapers. I am no monarchist but acknowledge that, if there must be one or there is one, QEII did a great job. But don’t you think that the monarchy serves to maintain a rigid class system and encourages people to ‘know their place’ and ‘not get above their station’. This persists notwithstanding the noble efforts of the Prince’s trust.
I adore your panel. Very knowledgeable and engaging. Tell Rebeka America welcomes her. Also, tell Richard he has a HUGE fan in Charleston, S.C.I hang on his every word. Love your program😀
Love the new background scenery and that red coffee table is wowzers~!!! You all are a joy to watch. The energy from all of you as group is what really made this video very enjoyable. thank you all and have a wonderful week. 💜💜💜
Absolutely Richard. lovely voice, great composure, his smile makes everyone feel good, great composure,. Jo ,Richard and Rebecca the top team on Palace condidential.
So excited for the state visit!!!!! Can't wait to see the whole gang dressed up!!! I just pray that the ladies "dust off" some of those tiaras and jewels that haven't seen daylight for years. There's a great channel on TH-cam that covers the royal tiaras...... it's so much fun to watch and so educational.
I think what Ginger means about Richard and George Harrison is his softness of his voice. I agree, it is very pleasant to hear him speak and of course what he has to say with such an honest demeanor.
Pity their little minds so manipulated by the US press which is the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party that crucified President Donald J. Trump right up to the present with their since proven lies, corruption, slander.
Prince Andrew can live out the rest of his life dining on fine food and wine, living rent free on a beautiful estate with no money worries, as I'm sure his mother left him a hefty sum in her will. He will still have nice hols to help him over bouts of depression thinking about his lost yachting days with his pal Jeffrey. Meanwhile wee Maisie that lives down the street and falling falling on hard times may have to queue at the foodbank to feed her family. P.S. I dont like the furnishings in your new location, the chairs look so uncomfortable.
Being from America, I've never had any interest in the Royals until the Queen passed away. Then, there were all the controversies regarding Harry & Magen, the uniforms, Andrew and all. I wanted to see how Britain honored the Queen. I clicked around youTube and found your channel. I'm now hooked and will be reading the many books from the authors you have interviewed. Thank you for educating this American on your culture and the monarchy. I love your videos.
K, here from California, and welcome. I've been a lifer. Lol. I've been intrigued by them since Princess Diana came onto the scene (yes I'm old). It's been quite the journey for me. Hope you have a great lifetime with this new generation of royals 👍 Everyone has picked a side but for me it's always great to hear and comment good or bad because I spectator-care (my own word for caring for movie stars/royals I don't know) for the late princess Diana kids, W and H.
A beautiful ceremony and send-off to celebrate or recognise a long reign. But don’t you think attaching so much importance to birthright and the deference and class society it fosters is actually a good thing? IMHO monarchy has no place in a merit based system with social mobility (in both directions). I realise that while the American dream has allowed the likes of Sergei Brin, Mark Zuckerberg and other children of immigrants to make it big there has been a creeping ossification in the US not limited to the increase heredity in the political system. Is it unthinkable that in the next 20 years we see another Bush, Trump, Clinton, Kennedy, Warner, Cuomo or Brown elected as senator, governor or president?
Richard being a gentleman as always. The king keeping the door open for Harry. That’s code for when he is kicked to the curb by markle and realises she played him he can return.
This might happen but I expect he will want to see his kids and be part of their lives at least until they both reach 18. That means he will have to spend a lot of time in the US as Ms Markle will at least get joint custody. She may even get an injunction preventing Harry taking them out of the US even on a holiday for fear he would abscond with them back to the UK.
A question being the King has sent the government a formal letter moving Prince Edward and Princess Anne to counsellors COULD the government turn around to say ok BUT Andrew and Harry have to go? Would or could that happen?
I honestly think the queen has already prepared Harry for this. That's what his "odd interview" was after meeting with her was about. He mentioned wanting to make sure she was surrounded by the right people. It makes sense now. This will be no surprise to him.
If Charles bring H back he will ruin Prince Williams time on the throne.These Royal Expects might think it’s possible ( it,ll give them something Else to write books or talk about) but the country won’t like or want it. But then we don’t rely on earning a living by talking about their views on Royalty. Thankfully. 😏
I totally agree with you. If KC. gives in to Harry in any way he will lose a vast amount of public support. Sadly he has to think like a king on this and not a father. His loyalty is to his people.
@@Catsmeow90 The King will always put duty and the monarchy first. He’s said he won’t allow Harry back as a working royal and has just demoted him as Counsellor of State, the King has made a wise decision and moving in the right direction.
There's not a lot of empathy for H that gets run roughshod over and has a narc wreck his life and family. ,'Trash & Demand' from the same business? Does that work out well? Is that how things work out?
There has never been any concrete proof of the actions for which Prince Andrew is accused, and Guiffre, his accuser, is being gradually discredited. Unfortunately, the hysterical reaction of the public to the emotions surrounding an accusation of abuse against a man went against him, and even if definite proof of his innocence was produced and his innocence declared, he would still be guilty in the public's mind. And before you all start yelling "but why did he pay if he's not guilty?" Because the whole mess would have landed right in the middle of his mother and his Queen's Jubilee. Prince Andrew has never bad-mouthed the Royal Family or the Monarchy; Hazard has, and then some.
From all accounts, Andrew has been problematic and a spoiled bully for ages. Even IF he is not guilty of the allegations of child sex abuse, he hung out with a known sex trafficker and still thinks he was a great friend. Maxwell from jail is on record saying she still sees him as a friend. Andrew is poison to the Windsor brand. He’s done. He needs to accept it and feel grateful he still can live in palaces and live a far better life than most of us could ever afford. No sympathy whatsoever for that git.
@@lisabradford8180 I would never trust Henry again. His judgment is just as bad as Andrew’s. He wouldn’t take advice from anyone, then put a ring on it and allowed her to flout protocol and then they both trashed the family. They’re making a living out of besmirching the family so Henry is the proven liar, deceiver, and malicious one of them all. Without the protection of the palace we get to see what he’s really like.
Profumo worked in charities for years after his downfall. Just shut up, keep your head down and do good works quietly. In 20 years, forgiveness is possible.
Thank you, really like listening to Jo, Rebecca and Richard, they discuss people with respect, I get irritated when Princess of Wales is referred to as Kate Middleton, she married in April 2011, Rebecca uses her correct title, good for her. As for Harry coming back, it will need to be without that trouble making, fake, lying Vixen he calls his wife
Hard to see PH return anytime soon. Even if he splits from the star of the Netflix Suits series he will have to stay Stateside to stay in touch with his kids. If he would return in say 15 years he would also need to apologise for what he has done to damage the RF. only then would it be possible to have him back as a working royal perhaps support his nephew PG when he becomes PoW.
I would be very happy to see Princess Beatrice included in state gala occasions. She is a Councillor of State and has always acted in an honorable manner. I think it would be very nice to see her there. The Gloucesters and the Kents are getting on with age and it'd be nice for the young ones to be eased in.
King Charles told the South African delegates the happy news that they are off the hook now because Meghan has become a 43% Nigerian, there was dancing in the streets! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
King Harald of Norway (whose father king Charles is named after) just gave a comment on his daughter's, Märtha Louise, fiancé, the american Durek Verret. "Monarchy and americans? They just don't get it. At all."
How about Charles gives the Duke of Edinburgh title and all duties that go with that title to Prince Edward as we were led to believe his father wanted?
Joan's references (0:40 & 2:19) to movies and TV scenes are absolutely hilarious here - *sometimes a descriptive metaphor is more powerful than eloquent phrasing* 🤣💖
I'm American and was born the same month and year that Princess Diana was (so I've been around a bit to watch all the history in person). I really enjoy this show. It's so polite, and thoughtful. The hostess is lovely, and I really like Richard Eden and also Rebecca English... Both very professional and informed on all things Royal 😁 (There are a couple guest commentators that I'm not a fan of, but thankfully, they are not on as often!) Thank you for the great job! 😊
Andrew's friend, unfortunately was not the best to have, at all. Andrew can't pretend Jeff Epstein was not a close buddy. J.E.is a big stain on Andrew that acid can't remove. Not even time will forget the destruction that J.E. left behind. Andrew should do the right thing and get busy doing something/somewhere else that does not involve king C and his son W. Whether A was a participator or bystander when it came to his friend J.E,. showed he did not have respect for his job/duty/himself. At most places of employment you don't get to participate in criminal or scummy behavior without getting fired after being discovered by your employer. Andrew is no different. The Late Q was right to remove him.
@@veronicaleon8075 Not the best is right ! A convicted sex offender who Andrew continued staying with in the mansions etc even after Epstein had done time. Then he tried to distance himself from sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell who he also was friends with for 20 years.
Andrew. has an attitude that prople who worked for him as something underneath his shoe and has been deemed a foul mouthed bully by police protection staff
L Wise in US I really enjoy your shows and see them all. All are absolutely perfect, but one with Richard speaking was a little hard to hear with music background. Your guests are very special and regulars are delightful. I wish you all the best, health and happiness
Make sure the heater in the housing unit doesn’t catch fire and cause everyone to break down in tears after that close shave with destiny in South Africa,Megun is as inspiring as Nelson Mandela according to her
As for Prince Andrew, as an American, I strongly hope Trump will never be president of the US ever again, although, I bet Andrew could handle that state visit they’d most likely get along brilliantly. 😆
What did you think of today's episode? Don't forget to leave any questions in the comments and our panel could answer them next week!

As a South African, I look forward to details on the upcoming state visit. We’re so closely connected yet its still extremely costly and cumbersome to get a visa to visit the UK (unlike so many others that can come and go through the UK as they please). Really think that needs to be looked at.
Richard is fun and delightful too!
Harry grow up! You have blasted the UK. Now you want the life style, money, prestige, jewels. Sometimes you can cut off your nose to spite your face. Sometimes you can go beyond forgiveness, and Harry you have really been nasty beyond that with your family. If they cast you.off, I would not blame them.
My favourite trio. I love you guys 💖
Perhaps the South African delegation could demonstrate the dance that was performed in the streets when Harry married Meghan.
😂
There was no dance. She was lying.
That did not happen. Noone even knew/knows who she (mm) is.......
Heehaaaa, hilarious!!!!
@@nomahope3182 It was sarcasm!
King Charles 3rd has always said for many years that he wants a slimmed down RF - they therefore have to lessen their load. IMO there is no way back for Andrew or Harry - We have the hard-working royals we need...
Do you really need a monarchy? Perhaps it depends on the public’s appetite for gossip about them that helps sell newspapers. I am no monarchist but acknowledge that, if there must be one or there is one, QEII did a great job. But don’t you think that the monarchy serves to maintain a rigid class system and encourages people to ‘know their place’ and ‘not get above their station’. This persists notwithstanding the noble efforts of the Prince’s trust.
The best channel for all things Royal … thanks.
Absolutely delighted that the rude Tessa Loudmouth did not appear on this segment and hope that absence is permanent.
I adore your panel. Very knowledgeable and engaging. Tell Rebeka America welcomes her. Also, tell
Richard he has a HUGE fan in Charleston, S.C.I hang on his every word. Love your program😀
Hello from Gaston S. C. I love them both as well. Talking who is invited and who is not I'm glad he said bc we all think it.
Love the new background scenery and that red coffee table is wowzers~!!! You all are a joy to watch. The energy from all of you as group is what really made this video very enjoyable. thank you all and have a wonderful week. 💜💜💜
Like the chairs, too: lovely rich burgundy colour.
Absolutely Richard. lovely voice, great composure, his smile makes everyone feel good, great composure,. Jo ,Richard and Rebecca the top team on Palace condidential.
Plus significant manspreading.
So excited for the state visit!!!!! Can't wait to see the whole gang dressed up!!! I just pray that the ladies "dust off" some of those tiaras and jewels that haven't seen daylight for years. There's a great channel on TH-cam that covers the royal tiaras...... it's so much fun to watch and so educational.
This is my dream team for Palace Confidential, brilliant, but since Robert Hardman is my dream reserve, will definitely be watching on Monday.
Definitely agree love this trio. 😀
I think Richard Eden should team up with the London Sock Company and have a line of Royal worthy socks.
Greetings from Vancouver Island, Canada.
I love this program!
I think what Ginger means about Richard and George Harrison is his softness of his voice. I agree, it is very pleasant to hear him speak and of course what he has to say with such an honest demeanor.
Why not work in a homeless shelter food kitchen like Profumo after his great downfall from politics? Only church type charities would accept him.
Honestly, couldn’t resist slamming President Trump. Very VERY BAD FORM. The Trump family behaved impeccably. Grow up.
Pity their little minds so manipulated by the US press which is the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party that crucified President Donald J. Trump right up to the present with their since proven lies, corruption, slander.
My favourite 3 presenters, great episode 👍😊👏
Prince Andrew can live out the rest of his life dining on fine food and wine, living rent free on a beautiful estate with no money worries, as I'm sure his mother left him a hefty sum in her will. He will still have nice hols to help him over bouts of depression thinking about his lost yachting days with his pal Jeffrey. Meanwhile wee Maisie that lives down the street and falling falling on hard times may have to queue at the foodbank to feed her family.
P.S. I dont like the furnishings in your new location, the chairs look so uncomfortable.
Question: what is happening with Harry’s case against the UK government/taxpayer for security? Great show!
Good question Calvin
Loved your video with Richard and Rebecca!
PC is a highlight of the week! Thank you for running the photos slowly such that we could all have a good look see!
Personally, I think that it is a perfect job for a king. He is out in nature, close to home, and a good chance to be on his own.
Question...why is your show only around 20+ minutes long? I'd love it to be a longer show. Any chance?
I would love that! This is my primary source for royal news and I could listen to most of them all day!!!
Check out our Monday interview with Robert Hardman that is over 35 minutes long! th-cam.com/video/dv1xWAwn7Bs/w-d-xo.html
That Montage was amazing, so historic and interesting. Thank you!
Andrew is thoroughly thick. Cement dense. With not particularly pleasant manners.
Jo’s comment about Groundskeeper Willy had me laughing very loudly! What a crack up!
Being from America, I've never had any interest in the Royals until the Queen passed away. Then, there were all the controversies regarding Harry & Magen, the uniforms, Andrew and all. I wanted to see how Britain honored the Queen. I clicked around youTube and found your channel. I'm now hooked and will be reading the many books from the authors you have interviewed. Thank you for educating this American on your culture and the monarchy. I love your videos.
Read the Levin book about Harry. Shocking!
K, here from California, and welcome. I've been a lifer. Lol. I've been intrigued by them since Princess Diana came onto the scene (yes I'm old). It's been quite the journey for me. Hope you have a great lifetime with this new generation of royals 👍 Everyone has picked a side but for me it's always great to hear and comment good or bad because I spectator-care (my own word for caring for movie stars/royals I don't know) for the late princess Diana kids, W and H.
A beautiful ceremony and send-off to celebrate or recognise a long reign. But don’t you think attaching so much importance to birthright and the deference and class society it fosters is actually a good thing? IMHO monarchy has no place in a merit based system with social mobility (in both directions). I realise that while the American dream has allowed the likes of Sergei Brin, Mark Zuckerberg and other children of immigrants to make it big there has been a creeping ossification in the US not limited to the increase heredity in the political system. Is it unthinkable that in the next 20 years we see another Bush, Trump, Clinton, Kennedy, Warner, Cuomo or Brown elected as senator, governor or president?
@@veronicaleon8075 From the SFBA here. :) I have been thinking of watching The Crown on Netflix. Have you watched? Is it worth it? :)
@@gingernightmare9152 Thank you! :)
Richard being a gentleman as always. The king keeping the door open for Harry. That’s code for when he is kicked to the curb by markle and realises she played him he can return.
Exactly !
This might happen but I expect he will want to see his kids and be part of their lives at least until they both reach 18. That means he will have to spend a lot of time in the US as Ms Markle will at least get joint custody. She may even get an injunction preventing Harry taking them out of the US even on a holiday for fear he would abscond with them back to the UK.
Harry worse than Andrew by far
Yes please.....all of you come to the US !! How fun that would be !
L❤❤❤❤❤❤ve this program ❤
Love you 3 . Calm, entertaining and informative . Thankyou very much .
A question being the King has sent the government a formal letter moving Prince Edward and Princess Anne to counsellors COULD the government turn around to say ok BUT Andrew and Harry have to go? Would or could that happen?
Rebecca, Jo,
and Richard 🎉👏🎉
He’s already said he wants out!! So why not give him what he wants!? And remind him, when he wants the perks….too bad , so sad, move on!!!
I honestly think the queen has already prepared Harry for this. That's what his "odd interview" was after meeting with her was about. He mentioned wanting to make sure she was surrounded by the right people. It makes sense now. This will be no surprise to him.
Ah interesting 🤔 you’re probably right
Thoroughly enjoy your posts… your panel is wonderful! Thank you for putting together so appealing and informative entertainment.
Thank you! We're glad you enjoyed it
If Charles bring H back he will ruin Prince Williams time on the throne.These Royal Expects might think it’s possible ( it,ll give them something Else to write books or talk about) but the country won’t like or want it. But then we don’t rely on earning a living by talking about their views on Royalty. Thankfully. 😏
I totally agree with you. If KC. gives in to Harry in any way he will lose a vast amount of public support. Sadly he has to think like a king on this and not a father. His loyalty is to his people.
@@Catsmeow90 The King will always put duty and the monarchy first. He’s said he won’t allow Harry back as a working royal and has just demoted him as Counsellor of State, the King has made a wise decision and moving in the right direction.
But isn't Prince Andrew been proven to be an entitled, rude bully?
The recent TH-cam video
by former
Police Protection Officer
Paul Page certainly says so
I hope to see William and Catherine in Boston - I’ll be one of the people waving at them from the crowd 😂
I feel Andrew has been treated somewhat unfairly but the public will probably never allow him to return. Hazzy .....he deserves worse treaent.
Why does Harry deserve worse treatment in your opinion?
There's not a lot of empathy for H that gets run roughshod over and has a narc wreck his life and family. ,'Trash & Demand' from the same business? Does that work out well? Is that how things work out?
There has never been any concrete proof of the actions for which Prince Andrew is accused, and Guiffre, his accuser, is being gradually discredited. Unfortunately, the hysterical reaction of the public to the emotions surrounding an accusation of abuse against a man went against him, and even if definite proof of his innocence was produced and his innocence declared, he would still be guilty in the public's mind.
And before you all start yelling "but why did he pay if he's not guilty?" Because the whole mess would have landed right in the middle of his mother and his Queen's Jubilee.
Prince Andrew has never bad-mouthed the Royal Family or the Monarchy; Hazard has, and then some.
From all accounts, Andrew has been problematic and a spoiled bully for ages. Even IF he is not guilty of the allegations of child sex abuse, he hung out with a known sex trafficker and still thinks he was a great friend. Maxwell from jail is on record saying she still sees him as a friend. Andrew is poison to the Windsor brand. He’s done. He needs to accept it and feel grateful he still can live in palaces and live a far better life than most of us could ever afford. No sympathy whatsoever for that git.
@@lisabradford8180 I would never trust Henry again. His judgment is just as bad as Andrew’s. He wouldn’t take advice from anyone, then put a ring on it and allowed her to flout protocol and then they both trashed the family. They’re making a living out of besmirching the family so Henry is the proven liar, deceiver, and malicious one of them all. Without the protection of the palace we get to see what he’s really like.
Profumo worked in charities for years after his downfall. Just shut up, keep your head down and do good works quietly. In 20 years, forgiveness is possible.
Richard is adorable, affable. Jo too & Rebecca English as well. Keep up the amusing back and forth.
Thank you, really like listening to Jo, Rebecca and Richard, they discuss people with respect, I get irritated when Princess of Wales is referred to as Kate Middleton, she married in April 2011, Rebecca uses her correct title, good for her. As for Harry coming back, it will need to be without that trouble making, fake, lying Vixen he calls his wife
Hard to see PH return anytime soon. Even if he splits from the star of the Netflix Suits series he will have to stay Stateside to stay in touch with his kids. If he would return in say 15 years he would also need to apologise for what he has done to damage the RF. only then would it be possible to have him back as a working royal perhaps support his nephew PG when he becomes PoW.
Harry should never be allowed back no matter what not into public life as a royal no Way
I would be very happy to see Princess Beatrice included in state gala occasions. She is a Councillor of State and has always acted in an honorable manner. I think it would be very nice to see her there. The Gloucesters and the Kents are getting on with age and it'd be nice for the young ones to be eased in.
Poor arrogant Andrew, not even his own family can stand him.
I am excited to see the State Dinner fashion!!!!!!!
King Charles told the South African delegates the happy news that they are off the hook now because Meghan has become a 43% Nigerian, there was dancing in the streets! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Always fun to watch. I worry for the Royals during the walking abouts. I think they are dangerous.
I knew there were good reasons to watch this show and this episode proves it!! Sooo funny!!! Keep up the good work!!!!
King Harald of Norway (whose father king Charles is named after) just gave a comment on his daughter's, Märtha Louise, fiancé, the american Durek Verret. "Monarchy and americans? They just don't get it. At all."
Wasn't King Harald's father Olav? Or is there an Olav in all of King Charles' names? Or maybe I'm misreading your comment (sorry if I am!)
Andrew could fill his days by being a live stand in at Madame Tussauds.
🤔
@@arlenehiles2689 Does Madame Tussaud's royal vignette still feature Andrew?
Andrew wouldn't DO THE JOB of park ranger though, he'd just take the salary and ignore the park.
1000 percent !
Lazy, self entitled, arrogant prat
Long overdue. Neither one of those two can read the land or the room.
❤Richard!!! He is such a lovely person!
Thank you King Charles. The monarchy needs to be trimmed by a lot not just about Andrew and Harry.
The housing unit where they’ll put their South African guests sounds nice, seeing it has a gym and all.
How about Charles gives the Duke of Edinburgh title and all duties that go with that title to Prince Edward as we were led to believe his father wanted?
Joan's references (0:40 & 2:19) to movies and TV scenes are absolutely hilarious here - *sometimes a descriptive metaphor is more powerful than eloquent phrasing* 🤣💖
I would love to see you guys in Boston. Make it happen!
Ditto!
Rebecca welcome to our US!!!!!! I wish I could be in Boston with you! I live in North East, Maryland.
I'm American and was born the same month and year that Princess Diana was (so I've been around a bit to watch all the history in person).
I really enjoy this show. It's so polite, and thoughtful. The hostess is lovely, and I really like Richard Eden and also Rebecca English... Both very professional and informed on all things Royal 😁
(There are a couple guest commentators that I'm not a fan of, but thankfully, they are not on as often!)
Thank you for the great job! 😊
Gobby and disrespectful Tessa
the King does not trust him to be responsible, that's why he rather do it himself than to entrust Andrew to do it
Charles has to realize he can’t do everything.
Charles has plenty of expertise
around him.
He has as much support in all areas of his job that he requires
Andrew's friend, unfortunately was not the best to have, at all. Andrew can't pretend Jeff Epstein was not a close buddy. J.E.is a big stain on Andrew that acid can't remove. Not even time will forget the destruction that J.E. left behind. Andrew should do the right thing and get busy doing something/somewhere else that does not involve king C and his son W. Whether A was a participator or bystander when it came to his friend J.E,. showed he did not have respect for his job/duty/himself. At most places of employment you don't get to participate in criminal or scummy behavior without getting fired after being discovered by your employer. Andrew is no different. The Late Q was right to remove him.
@@veronicaleon8075
Not the best is right !
A convicted sex offender who Andrew continued staying with in the mansions etc even after
Epstein had done time.
Then he tried to distance himself from sex trafficker
Ghislaine Maxwell who he also was friends with for 20 years.
@@shychameleon The King does realise that. He knows how to delegate responsibility and has a strong team of senior royals and advisers around him.
Andrew. has an attitude that prople who worked for him as something underneath his shoe and has been deemed a foul mouthed bully by police protection staff
Love your channel.
Hate the new furniture!
It belongs in a kids playroom.
As an American, excited to have The Wales in my aunts home state.
The fact that she called him a bitch 😂😂makes me just love this show more
L Wise in US I really enjoy your shows and see them all. All are absolutely perfect, but one with Richard speaking was a little hard to hear with music background. Your guests are very special and regulars are delightful. I wish you all the best, health and happiness
🎼🎼”How do you solve a problem like Prince Andrew?🎼🎼 😂😂. (Sung to the Sound of Music song about Maria)
You beat me to it. 👍
Without even reading your bracket comment I sung it in that tune 😆
Don’t forget get to put Harry in that song too.
I had the same thing go through my head. lol
@@shychameleon he’s the second verse😂😂😂
I am from Boston. So psyched. Rebecca you will love it here I hope. Be surprised at how many names and terms we took from England.
Is she going to Boston to cover the Prince and Princess of Wales?
@@mycatsnameiskaren8253 Let’s hope.
Make sure the heater in the housing unit doesn’t catch fire and cause everyone to break down in tears after that close shave with destiny in South Africa,Megun is as inspiring as Nelson Mandela according to her
Ah. The black and green dress that I just love!
As for Prince Andrew, as an American, I strongly hope Trump will never be president of the US ever again, although, I bet Andrew could handle that state visit they’d most likely get along brilliantly. 😆
To harry and Andrew. Actions have consequences...man up..
Who cares about Andrew !!!
his mum did
Andrew and Fergie need to find a low cost place to live…..far away from Britain, in my humble opinion.
