. Prince Michael of Kent looks so different to how I know him.Prince William of Gloucester was the older brother of Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester. He died young in a plane crash in the early 1970’s, so he was a cousin of the Queen.
Our talking about the Duchess seems to have triggered this video on my You Tube feed.
My advice having watched it is to read the comments first then watch on as big a TV as you can to spot the people from the comments. I am puzzling about who William of Gloucester was (the hunk they are referring to). Another rabbit hole for me to go down
Prince Michael was very young in this clip.

George Michael’s work with soup kitchens and charities came to light after his death. I imagine also through people who see and work with them at the Charities talk about it. As the poster above did about their experience of seeing William at a local food bank/soup kitchen
I was going to say that about George
But that’s the thing: Harry and Meghan would always have the same amount if not more protection for work. Even now they get some if they show up at official engagements. But they want them AFTER leaving in their private time and at private functions. Sophie is not running around with that much protection in her private time. That’s the whole point why people shake their head about H. It’s not how it works and he should have/could have known that. Anne, Andrew and Edward, their partners and children get much less than Charles (and rightly so). H needs to stop thinking he is so extra special. In a couple of years he will not be more than a footnote. He is just not important to the system and the constitution. He was for a time but that time is gone. His children will never matter to the constitution (just like his cousins never mattered). So if he needs protection he needs to pay and it also means to accept that his money won’t buy him every resource he wishes for. If the police thinks he needs protection he gets it but they are not open for private hiring.
Got guts why?
To bad mouth their family and then turn up at the Jubilee as though everything will be ok. You've either got guts to do that or you're oblivious.
The message from the Cambridge’s that they’re ‘just like us’ continues to be easily ridiculed as they move towards having three huge homes from this summer - moving to Windsor for the children’s schooling, but keeping KP as their ‘main’ home and Amner being kept ready for when their children have finished school and as a holiday home.
Time to drop the PR spin that they live in the same world as the rest of us - people are struggling to pay for food, utilities, petrol etc and there is not an argument they can share that would justify the need for three properties. The money saved to the taxpayer / crown by not paying the running costs for two of those houses and them being rented out by the Crown Estate would buy an awful lot of copies of the Big Issue….
William and Kate 'to move their family from London to Berkshire'
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are reportedly set to move to a house on the Queen's Windsor estate this summer - leaving behind Kensington Palace as their main residence.www.dailymail.co.uk
In one word - no
I mean, all reports indicated that they were specifically invited by the Queen so it's not a matter of guts, just showing up in her honor? Their walk down the Cathedral's aisle also suggests that this is what the Queen wanted so again, nothing gutsy there.To bad mouth their family and then turn up at the Jubilee as though everything will be ok. You've either got guts to do that or you're oblivious.
She only has protection whilst she’s on duty. She doesn’t have any when she’s out and about not on duty.
They were damned if they did and damned if they didn’t.To bad mouth their family and then turn up at the Jubilee as though everything will be ok. You've either got guts to do that or you're oblivious.
I think this is true - they'd have been criticised for not coming too but I also agree that it takes a lot of nerve to turn up to a huge public family occasion after you've bashed that family on tv. I really believe that they came because they need to maintain that royal connection for their commercial interests. I think the RF will be happy with how their visit went. It got headlines but it didn't dominate the coverage and it sets the tone for future visits/functions. They were going to have to come back at some stage for a funeral or coronation or whatever. Now that first event with both Harry and Meghan back in the UK is out of the way and there'll be less interest every time they're back.
