What would be said if the Duchess of Sussex had released the same?

Well, seeing as H&M have upsticks to the USA, no longer ‘working royals’ I don’t feel her opinion counts for much.

I also think that the Wales’ feel this sort of video is the way forward, especially for the younger generation.

Whether us older ones see it like that, I’m not too sure.

If Meghan Markle had released a similar video I think she would have been at the centre of it in front of the camera.

There would been cries of "wokery" from GNs and others.

People must be easily surprised as "Summer" is the follow up to "Spring" released in May. Prepare to be astounded when she produces "Autumn" in the autumn.

Wow! crazy times alright.

I should release my list of things to do this summer, it included sort understairs cupboard, and clean oven. Very uplifting.

It will get criticism but I see a young woman here who had the shock of her life with a cancer diagnosis. Forget being Royal, she is a wife and Mum. This video tells me what is uppermost in her thoughts after such a harrowing time.

My thoughts too. An uplifting to-do list? Are we meant to be inspired?
The Princess of Wales has surprised us all with a new personal video, which she released across her official social media channels. The project is an ode to 'Mother Nature' and, in it, The Princess reveals an uplifting 'to-do list' for the summer.

The video opens with shots of fields, trees, bees, flowers and fruit picking. We see rain lashing against leaves, children running through the grass, dogs playing on the sand and people swimming in lakes. There are a range of moments showing people relaxing together, playing, dancing and enjoying each other's company.
