Royal Thread the Second- Tiaras Optional! ?

Did anyone watch the documentary about the Duke of Edinburgh? His children, their spouses and the grandchildren spoke about him with such genuine love and affection.

I am sure he is greatly missed by them all.

The press constantly complained about him but I thought he seemed like good man. He certainly didn't suffer fools glacly. I know he was totally non PC but he said things in jest. He was an ice breaker.

He was very much loved by his family

Hope the Queen is making the most of her few days rest. Although she is given much support, it must be very tiring attending functions, meeting and conversing with so many different people, to say nothing of having to get dressed up all the time, at the ripe old age of 95.

A lot is expected of her, and I’m sure she expects it of herself.

It’s amazing the different ways some people age isn’t it . Did anyone hear the lady recently on woman’s hour who was in the production team of the very first programme ? She is 104 and absolutely on the ball.
Sorry I digressed,

Thank you Calendargirl and Lucca for reanimating this thread! I haven’t seen it for a long while

Speaking of R4, I think that there’s an actress on The Archers who is of a great age.
Also have you seen Delua Smith recently? She looks amazing.
There must be something about TV cooks - Mary Berry, Prue Leith

Calendar I agree. It must be exhausting. And quite boring
