their reactions wasn't to do with the colour of his skin but rather his strange sermon

It was so not British and most definitely not what you expect from an uptight royal wedding. I think it just took everyone by surprise tbh.
I’m more republican (when it comes to the monarchy) than not but I am interested by them. Same with monarchies across the world, I think it’s because I’m interested in history, fashion/fashion history and the jewellery and it’s gone from there.
This documentary is going to end in tears. There's already questions about how H&M photographers got into the palace and that's just from there trailer. They'll be questions about when were pieces filmed? Was it pre or post their leaving TRF? How long in the making has this been? etc etc.
Once the documentary and book are done what else have they got to sell? Surely this stuff has a shelf life?
A little bit off topic, but regarding aristocracy. I have been watching the 4 part series on Castle Howard and the Howard estate. It's interesting how much goes into upkeep of these ancestral country homes.
Are these aristocratic families all related in some way to the royals or not? For e.g, are the Spencer family related at all to the royals or do these aristocrats just mingle in the same circles as the royals? I know that the owner of Highclere castle was the godson to the Queen.

Why strange?
Traditional white churches, the sermons are very quiet and sedate. Look at the Queen’s funeral or any episode to Songs of Praise to see what usually happens. Whereas black churches (from what I’ve been told by friends) tend to be more vigorous and animated which I think is wonderful, I rather enjoyed his sermon even though I’m not a believer.
I think it was a clash of cultures that was surprising. When he started talking it did surprise me because I wasn’t expecting it.
I like it - very 1930s (but Wallis Simpson) vibe.
I know about white churches I don't need a lecture, but if I see a black person officiating in a different way I don't think of it as strange it's just different. I certainly don't start sniggering like Beatrice and Eugenie who obviously find different cultures funny they must have been trained by Hussey.
Jeez ... do we literally have to watch every word we say on here now?
It was strange in the circumstances. I was taken aback too when I watched it because I wasn't expecting it.

Overall, what do people make of the tour by the Wales’s to America? Was it a success?
Yeah that would be me too
Not really.
It wasn't really a tour though was it. It was a visit for a specific reason.
Sorry for using the wrong term. Not very up on royalty so assumed if they went somewhere, it was a tour
why don’t you think it went well?There were too many distractions from what they were there for.Sorry for using the wrong term. Not very up on royalty so assumed if they went somewhere, it was a tour
The Lady Hussey Race row and then Netflix taking full advantage of their visit to drop the H&M trailer. It just seemed to overshadow things.
I used dress like that when I could be bothered, what I would say is she looks tired
It just seemed a bit pointless. I doubt it was on many Americans radar. I kind of get the impression that the Queen was the only one they held in any kind of regard.
I do think the days of massive Royal Tours are over.
I see much scaled back versions were TRF may just attend a particular event somewhere rather than a tour of a country. The last few haven't been well received and some of the optics haven't looked great.
