Turner looks more like James Bond. Armitage's eyes are too beady and he has zero body hair. Turner has a bit of a young Sean Connery about him along with the more masculine hairy arms and chest. I also find Turner has a bit more screen presence and his acting is more engaging. Armitage is actually kind of bland on screen.

That's the British Royal Family for you, bunch of weirdos doing weird stuff to pretend they have a purpose to be called "highness" and be worshiped and given vast fortunes by the British taxpayer along with their enormous extended family. They aren't even British, the monarchy changed their family name around WW1 from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to Windsor. They are Hanovarian Germans pretending to be somehow pure blood English nobility, and everyone in Britain just buys it and worships them because it gives their lives some make-believe notion of being more exotic. Don't worry though, Lord Digby Jones has told us we should spend £100 million on a new yacht for the royal family to boost our morale. Yeah, buying the royal family another new £100million yacht is what we need. Not, you know, a government that isn't utterly corrupt and incompetent, a massive wealth gap and criminal under-funding of vital public services.

I've never seen Peter look so dapper. And compared to Prince William, height-wise, he IS a Hobbit! Fran Walsh looks beautiful, it's so rare for her to make any form of public appearance. I wonder if that was Peter's son he shook hands with before he shook hands with Katie....Sylvester still dresses like he would be playing the Doctor....what the heck can be said about Richard that hasn't already been said God only knows how many times, Jimmy just looks like Jimmy....Aidan looks delectable, his girlfriend Sarah looks gorgeous, Deano's girlfriend looks a bit flashy, Adam and Peter...very dapper....I don't think John can dress without some sort of flare of color, I'm surprised Mark behaved himself, Jed's just flipping awesome, that almost looks like Jimmy's younger daughter behind Stephen, and just look at Martin and Amanda....
