I remember watching that when it first aired on American television.

I've also read that. I believe it was in the book "Royal Feud."

He's not technically a Royal, but Lord Nicholas Windsor's youngest son is named Louis.

My guess is that Kate was the one who requested it although it is possible that Maria decided it on her own.

FWIW, I think that's just the way British people speak. I remember on "Downton Abbey". Edith told her editor that she was "racing" somewhere when in actuality she was going to watch a motor race.

Oh, I watched that the other night too. You can also access it if you have a VPN. George V had a nice speaking voice.

I read a memoir of Madame Wellington Koo some years back, and she was a friend of Queen Mary. She wrote about a visit where she and Queen Mary "smoked companionably." I don't know that she was a chain smoker, but she did smoke.

Also, when the former King gave his abdication speech in Episode 3, he was introduced by the radio announcer as "The Duke of Windsor." He was actually introduced as Prince Edward as he hadn't been created Duke of Windsor yet.

The Harewoods, of course, are cousins of the Queen through their mother Princess Mary who was Princess Royal before Anne.

Princess Charlotte would probably be a cute bridesmaid in a few years.

Queen Mary had such an interesting life. I would love a biopic about her. I'm reading her mother's memoirs now.

Anne's children are not royal. And I think once you get to the grandchildren of a monarch, it probably is easier for them to find separate careers away from royal duties. But for the children and their partners, it's still probably a no go.

You're welcome. The problem isn't what she said, it's that she said it at all. The British royals aren't supposed to comment on politics. Getting back on topic, ITA that it would be very difficult for a potential wife of Harry's to carry on with a career.

The "old dear" comment was about the Queen Mother, not the Queen.

I remember our newspaper (I was living in Maryland then) did a big story on him when he died, but they didn't mention anything about his love life. Later I found a biography about him in the Enoch Pratt Library.
