Prince William on Graham Norton!

18th and 19th centuries....

The royal family has had quite an injection of ordinary blood, since the 18th and 18th centuries of marriage almost exclusively with German princes and princesses. Queen Alexandra was Danish, Queen Mary German, the Queen Mother Scottish, Diana English as is Catherine. Most of the wider royal family have married into the middle classes. Prince Philip was ostensibly Greek, the Duchess of Gloucester Danish (?), Princess Michael Austrian (?) and of course Harry's wife American. Very few from European royal houses which is good as so many were descended from Queen Victoria.

I dont think they are.

Royal blood.
Centuries in some cases, of different ways of living.

They are all just normal people, all of them, they are simply born into a different family to us.

In other countries Royals have been far more normal for decades.

I like it, others may not, that’s all fine

PW is on the show to publicise his Earth Shot Prize.

Andy Burnham is on Goggle Box tonight…

If Graham Norton decides to call it a day then look no further for his replacement............mind you, Prince Harry would be cheesed off to see William getting the job!

The way ahead for modernising the royal family?

Make them more normal?
I dont think so personally.
If they dont have their mystery, how are they different to other people.
If they are not different to other people, then they are not Royal. In my opinion.
