If we were going to play Who's Your Favourite Royal...

What's Prince William supposed to do? Any ordinary job he were to take would be a security man's nightmare, so really it's only the armed forces well away from danger or a job like air ambulance. He's accused of not performing enough royal duties and in the same breath accused of not having a proper job. Bearing in mind that courtesy of their mother neither William or Harry have to do any job of any sort as she left them more than enough money to live on in their own right. So good for both of them for not sitting back and twiddling their thumbs and at least trying to live as normal a life as possible.

Prince Harry, he is a breath of fresh air and also Sarah Chatto who seems to be a lovely person.

No Anniebach you are not alone. They are no longer boys and I too think it's time they grew up. I feel the family have protected them rather too much following their mother's death - understandable at the time, but perhaps they have become rather spoilt - particularly William.

'they'

Both the Princes have been in the armed forces, Prince Harry on active service. Prince William is a air ambulance pilot, Prince Harry does a fantastic job for Invictus, and has other charities that he gives hands on support. I think it's a bit tough to say the should 'grow up and do some work'

lady Sarah Chatto and the Duchess of Kent

DD2 meeting Prince William in 2014. She was smitten!!

Harry.

I must be the only person in the country who is irritated by William and Harry , time they grew up and did some work

I think Charles does a great job, but has difficulty in being understood. He has a dry sense of humour which some of his critics take seriously. Anne of course is brilliant, as are her children. We are lucky to have a the Queen and Prince Philip at the helm. We shall really have to wait and see about William and Harry.

Not keen on any of them but I think I would nominate Charles if I really had to.

I like Harry son met him when in forces said he was very friendly I don't feel sorry forAndies two they are part of hangers on . I agree that royal family should be scaled down others should work for a living and I don't understand why they need all these big houses .

The Queen, P.P., Harry and Sarah Chatto. The non-royals like Sophie, Autumn, Camilla and even Kate bring some form of normality to a rather weird, extended family! Lindill Many years ago a friend who was very 'horsey' used to mix with P.Anne and her cronies and one day called her 'Anne'. She was very much put in her place 'I am Princess Anne to you'. She was very young, so perhaps things have changed since then. I do think she is very hardworking unlike that useless lump of a brother, Andrew [shriek emoticon]

Feel sorry for Beatrice and Eugene. They seem to miss the boat somehow with the media. I did chuckle at the mobile phone checking at the Queen's concert. How like other youngsters !!!

Anne, hard working and straight talking. I also liked her when she said you don't have to like children but want, and expect them to have a decent life, my thoughts exactly.

Far easier for the younger family members, they have all the benefits but little responsibility to the country . Charles and Ann had to carry out royal duties in their teens . Anne's children only have to turn out for weddings and William and Harry are in premature semi retirement, just popping out when they choose . No comparison on the duties Charles and Anne carried out compared to William and Harry

I think Wills & Harry are doing a great job- bringing monarchy into 21st century. Obviously the Queen is amazing & I have always had a soft spot for Anne- I love watching her at the rugby- she really enjoys it. Zara is very down to earth too.I think we will do just fine going forward with the youngsters.
Sorry but cannot stand Charles who always seems such a spoilt, sulky man with a chip on his shoulder & no time for Camilla either although I have heard she has a great sense of humour- would need it to live with him!

No-nonsense Anne.She refused titles for her children so that they could enjoy a grounded upbringing ,then used her own royal connections to improve the lives of children far less advantaged.
She is an extremely good person.

But Autum Phillips isn't a Royal . If I could choose one out of the married into the windsors it is Katherine Kent

I was introduced to Princess Anne 12 years ago - she was vile. I'll elaborate if anybody's interested!

We went to the decommissioning of a Naval Ship a couple of years ago. Princess Margaret had been linked with the ship so Sarah Chatto came to do the honours. She is tiny and wore an ordinary warm overcoat, flat shoes and no hat. Such a difference image from the usual royals. Very down to earth.

Funny how the more minor royals are beginning to shine. Sophie Wessex, the lovely Sarah Chatto and Autumn Kelly and her delightful little girls.

I saw an interview with Sophie Wessex recently and thought what a lovely person she came across as. I know she's had a bit of bad press now and then but she seemed so nice and down to earth. And her marriage has certainly lasted the longest.

Princess Ann has often shown support for Scottish sporting events, myvote would be for her.

I agree, Queen is remarkable as is Prince Philip for supporting her all these years, so much better than a President. I have aways admired Princess Anne, seen her kindness at horse events and think she has got it right with her family. Charles is obviously much more relaxed and happy with Camilla so she comes across well.

I was reading today about Spanish King scaling back on costs and number of family members involved, so I do think that the move to reduce the size of the active royals is a good idea, but not sure if it will happen here.
