I don’t think it’s jealousy on William’s part, it’s anger. Fast track is correct, they bent over backwards for those two.

The people of Wales are represented so well by William and Catherine. Really kinda helps me, as an American, understand how disappointed the people of Sussex must feel...among other things.

William has lost so much his Grandfather then his Grandmother,But to lose his Brother for Harry’s treatment towards the entire Royal Family is heartbreaking..❤❤❤

The Prince and Princess of Wales are amazing!!!!!

I don’t think William was jealous, I think it must have been difficult for him to see them to essentially be rewarded for bad behaviour.

Why has Katie Nichol not been called out for stalking Prince George regarding his remark at school! Is this normal for British journalists to report things in books that can’t be verified or sourced. Shame on her, this is one book I will not buy. Can’t stand bullies espeacially ones who target innocent 9 year olds who just lost their great grandmother.

1:19 That little boy who gave the Princess Catherine flowers is absolutely adorable. The cuteness of his expression was off the Richter scale!

I’m happy to hear the praise and wonderful comments about Princess Anne! I recall the decades when she faithfully beavered away at her charity work, quietly raised her children and never seemed to get any positive feedback. Finally, people have awakened to her years of sterling work and positive impact on the UK as well as internationally through Save the Children.

Will one of the questions to Katie Nicholl be why she thought it was okay to use Prince George as a marketing ploy for her book? Writing about a 9 year old is disgraceful. I thought writing about Royal Children was a no go area. If not well it should be.

I agree completely that Anne could probably put a stop to this nonsense quickly! She is such a spitfire. I greatly admire her!!!

"You reap what you sow" is true and is definitely NOT harsh. Harry is an adult, not a child, even though he behaves like one. He made bad choices and now he's stuck with the ramifications. The only way out for him would be to publicly admit he was wrong about many things, especially the racism accusations, but he's not adult enough to do that.

I don't think Katie Nichols knows anything about how William felt. He is not going to tell his feelings out loud to anyone outwith his close family and friend circle. And Charlotte, everyone thought he looked lovely in those velvet suit jackets.

I was just listening to the radio when the newsman said it had been announced that the Queen died of old age. The host replied, "I'm surprised, I thought the official cause of death would be Meghan Markle". I gave him a standing ovation. (Even though I'm alone in my living room and know they can't hear me)

Here in the US we treat our celebrities like royalty; and a motley crew they be! At least in the UK your Royals include some truly decent, good intentioned people whose aim is to uplift the society in which they live. God rest the Queen. God save the King.

Richard Eden is most classy!

We all need happiness and pomp and ceremony!!!🎉❤ Heritage is so very important. If we could all come together for QEII’s wedding during austerity and then her coronation…that’s what we want.

Rebecca English was spot on…Harry and Meghan should have thought about the effects of their decisions before they made them.

There's a one word answer for why the Sussexes haven't sued either Bower or Low: Discovery.

Love Princess Anne! She is BRILLIANT 👏👏👏

Harry’s children should not be given titles. The parents have been horrid to the RF.

Absolutely ridiculous that William felt insecure or jealous. Who would believe anything Katie Nicholl writes or says as she is pandering to a U.S. audience.

Fast tracking megsy was too fast. Queen shouldn’t have made a her duchess from get go - entitled and zero gratitude. Should have waited for a few years. Look at Sophie, quarter century of work and still a countess.

Beautiful family, they deserve better than the Sussex’s making trouble with their untruths God save King Charles

In my opinion, they would be damned if they did and damned if they don't. I would personally love to see the investiture of Prince William as Prince of Wales.

😞😢 Genuinely sad to hear how hurt William was when he tried to reach out to his brother and then watch him dish dirt on Oprah - the level of betrayal and hurt I could only imagine. They both lost their mother and Harry should have been a support to his brother who has heavy responsibility going forward....

Katie Nicoles stalked Prince George. I think that she should give apology to Wales family. I was thinking to get this book, but after I heard breaking privacy of kids, I won't support this person's activity.

Katie Nichols is about as credible as Omid Scobie 😂

I fail to see a reason why prince William would be jealous of Harry; especially considering William is the Prince of Wales, the heir next in line, has a beautiful family, is loved by the people, is a billionaire and a handsome and intelligent man of substance. Harry is basically the antithesis of William, aimless, no career, no purpose, holding grudges and with a bitter attitude towards his share in life. I just don’t see it. 🤷🏽‍♀️

William and Kate are so very likable.

I would like you to know that H & M are not universally popular in the United States, as you sometimes imply. I think people forget how big and diverse this country is ... and, many of us are huge fans of the British Royal Family and of Britain, overall. We are a relatively young nation, only 250 years old, and a huge portion of the country has at least one great-grandparent who came from either England, Wales, Ireland or Scotland. Our culture is largely built around the idea that hard work, education and innovation should and can cause you to be as rich and famous as you want to be. This includes celebrities in Hollywood, who often toil for 10 long years or more to finally become an A-list star in a hit movie or mainstream television show that is actually aired in this country. Fame or riches in return for personal effort or sacrifice is almost always rewarded here. What many don't appreciate is when one seeks fame but has done none of the above ... never worked for and achieved incredible success in your field of study, never put in 10-15 years of hard work devoted to the public good, as Princess Diana did, and has no credible experience with working and earning their own way to buy their own $14 million mansion. Harry & Meghan appear to seek fame for fame's sake -- they have yet to tell us why we should reward them with fame. They signed up to do charity work with the BRF and then quit after a few months. They accepted money from Prince Charles and houses from the Queen, but are not willing to do the hard work in a non-political way, as they signed up to do for the family business. They say they want privacy but then can't understand why people see their actions as hypocritical when they loudly seek fame/fortune by slandering their family to get it. Finally, if they cared about climate change, as I think we all should, they would donate some of their money to causes that are doing more than lecturing middle class folks about their carbon footprint when many people's only carbon footprint results from driving to work. A large swath of Americans never acquire a passport, many never travel to another continent, so they can't appreciate being lectured to by a couple whose primary mode of travel is by fancy car, paid drivers and private jets. It doesn't take much to be popular in the US, but an ounce of humility, consistency and charity toward your own family and friends does seem to be a prerequisite. Oprah is one person. Gayle King is one person. There are 300 million other Americans who have their own ideas about people who appear to seek fame purely for selfish reasons. Don't forget about those persons when you talk about people in the US.

I doubt William felt insecure over Harry"s special treatment.Probably more likely feeling frustrated or angry about his spoiled behavior being catered to.

If Harry's book comes out and is nothing but unsubstantiated stories and false implications, which are Meghan's specialty, what are the chances that King Charles could strip them of all titles?? I mean, at what point do their actions become treasonous?? I for one think they should be stripped of everything and the laws should be rewritten to remove all titles from them AND their children. To me, it's like dealing with cancer, you remove it ALL.

Your montage of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s funeral was beautiful. The second last picture of her great grandchildren watching their great-grandmother’s casket being lowered was awesome.

Apparently Methane has said seeing Bower or Lowe would give their books attention or that's her excuse. The Handbag although he probably didn't say anything too bad about the Queen given the Harkashians past form (they were very careful) , he didn't expect his father to be King and he's probably said awful things about him and Camilla so now he's frantically back pedalling because he doesn't want to lose the perks. I just hope Charles will kick the wasters into touch given their disgusting behaviour ever since Methane arrived on the scene.

Given the examples of how the royal spares turned out, I hope the family is planning to enable Charlotte and Louis to have meaningful lives of their own choosing. Even PG should be able to choose a career as it might be many decades before he sits on the throne. Thank you for that beautiful montage at the end. RIP beloved Queen.

We keep hearing about how much the ceremonies cost but they bring in a lot of money as well. If they presented it in that way and showed that it could be a net gain then they could do it. Without the ceremony, what is the point of the monarchy?

Another great episode, thank you. Richard Eden is a pleasure to listen to, a thorough Gentleman.

The photo gallery at the end of this video brought me to tears…again. The depth of love and respect and loss tore my heart out. It shows that the Queen was, for want of a better phrase, “the real thing.” I feel about my precious mother-in-law the way the royal family feels and I dread the day we lose her.

Since the discussion of optics are brought up, perhaps if there was a weekend celebration of just having a low key feast would be a nice way to have Wales celebrate the new Prince and Princess. Nothing too drastic to put people on the brink, but something to raise the spirits. The event might help local businesses too, a little something to help them manage these difficult times. It could be as simple as having one large tea party. Everyone had some valid points about this discussion and perhaps just a small something in between could be nice.

Great show today! Lovely panel with respectful comments and good questions from viewers! Loved the slide show at the end for Queen Elizabeth the Great! Please keep it up! 👏👏👏

This was a wonderful episode…but the closing segment broke my heart. I can’t believe she’s gone. I’m an American and so very heartbroken that this wonderful woman…this remarkable person, has died.

I disagree that William felt even slightly insecure about the treatment of Harry. It’s just frustrating that the way they were being treated only fueled the fire. Someone should have stood up to them much earlier. The better they were treated, the more power Megan thought she had.… until she couldn’t take ‘no’ for an answer and decided to take her “handbag“ and go home.

Harry will never be happy, William could lose the monarchy and he would still be happy with his family.

I think you are all way too polite, just speak the reality, the Brits do not want H&M back and the children are Americans so no titles!

Katie nicholls bringing up Prince George was absolutely appalling. The sussex squad has run with it and there has been death threats on 9 yr old. A question for Miss Nicholl would be why? Children are off limits, no matter whose children they are. I've followed her for a long time and had earmarked her book... now however, no more, I'm disappointed to say the least.

I think William is worried because he sees his brother is unhappy deep down

As someone who isn’t from the UK but went to school in England, it breaks my heart to see the British Royal family tone down so much. I understand the current economical situation might require more scaled down events but it should be temporary, the UK does pomp and circumstance better than anyone, it’s part of the British magic! Queen Rania spoke about this during QE II’s funeral. It’s one of those things that are being shunned because of the current climate but as time goes on, I think the UK will regret it, kinda like Brexit.

Beautiful montage at the end. Such sad faces. I don't know how the family got through all those ceremonies in public. ❤️

I would love to see William's¹ Coronation ceremony. It's one for the history books. Love William and Catherine .

Gulp, the montage had me in tears, again! Thank you, this was a really good panel.

I don't understand how so many people fail to see the mental illness aspect of Harry's relationships. It is very sad that he campaigns for mental health but is ashamed of his own. I think William is aware, and is sad for his brother. William is also mature enough to handle it in a caring, compassionate manner.

If Harry is smoking weed regular as reported, he will be paranoid. This is a side effect of weed. This could explain why he is so over the top about his security.

Who IS that woman on the left… my god, William looked GORGEOUS & Dignified in that green velvet jacket during Earthshot!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I really enjoyed all the commenters today! Richard, Rebecca and Charlotte are just Brilliant! And Jo is so great as always. I would love twice a week videos!!!!

Are you kidding??? William looked HOT in that green velvet blazer!!!!

The montage had me in tears! What a magnificent Queen, Wife, Daughter, Sister, Mother Grandmother, Great grandmother & worldwide ICON! 🌈

i agree that it's not in the interest of the publisher to change or tone down the book. and i'm sorry to play devil's advocate but i don't want them to either. Let us know how you really feel! Harry made a decision. and for wanting a private life he writes a tell all book???? i am skeptical that his revisions would be for only his best interest. not out of respect and a true change of heart. He is probably having a realization that his words now can have an impact on what he does or does not get out of his father and brother (as the future King). I know it sounds harsh but i also say you reap what you sow. I think he has made some foolish decisions and told public lies and he needs to have some sort of consequence. That is how we learn and grow as imperfect humans. if we're shielded from consequence then we never learn the error of our ways. I don't believe in cancel culture and after a time of repentance i think he could be accepted back in. But the thing is i dont think he's sorry... so there's that.

I want the pomp in the coronation and the investiture: The crowns, the robes, the rings, the trumpets, ALL of it! It’s part of the tradition and I love it ALL.

A thoroughly fascinating discussion, as (almost) always. I love the stress-free banter amongst the host & panelists when the one thorn in the bouquet is discarded for the sake of everyone's nerves. I like Rebecca being in studio rather than at home where the sound situation is less than optimal. I very much look forward to Thursdays with Jo and the various commentators and special guests. Always pleasant and, above all, polite. 🙏Dear Lord, deliver us from the know-it-all shouty, manic diva. Amen.🙏

It is important to remember that every event brings tourists and those tourists bring money to spend in the country.

It wasn't jealousy but rightly being put out. They bent over backwards for Meghan - trip with the Queen, Christmas before marriage, protection while dating when Meghan was calling the paparazzi. Etc. He's protective of Catherine & his children & they weren't being stood up for.

Why are you so fabulous Jo? Total fan here. Cool interview techiques and a superb no noncense attitude. Refreshing to say the least. Keep it up!

Question for monday - Kate Nicholl . Why did she crossed the line and told us the "funny" story of a nine year old boy. Every newspaper and tabloid will talked about it, and does already. Disgusting. Why did she do that? Why making a joke of a child. I compare her with Scobie and Gayle King, the mouthpieces of the Sussex clan. Same caliber, and that is not a compliment. Kate Nicholl was always more a Sussex than a Wales fan in my opinion.

I love your show just please don’t have Tessa as a guest…she ruins the lovely dynamic of the panel. IMO.

Kudos to whoever compiled the photos at the end of this week's show...even the gentle music was perfect, and allowed the photos to carry the emotions for us. Thank you.

Perfect panel . It needs to be modernized and simplified. But there must be a plan they can make for the Prince of Wales and the Coronation of the King that is ceremonial and more appropriate for the times.

It would be so lovely to have some sort of investiture for the Prince and Princess of Wales. It would honor the Welsh people.

I think we’d love an investiture for William done in sincerity and good humor. I think for many reasons, it’s important to show William taking up the duty of the role! Keep it going! Investiture please!

Some of the panel may be excited about Harry’s book, I will not be purchasing it! Thanks for taking one for the team when it eventually appears.

It only changed when Meghan arrived on the scene.

There absolutely should be a certain amount of grand ceremonies, when appropriate. That's part of what makes Royalty feel special. Perhaps not in these hard times, but it should NOT be "scaled back" too much.

The Daily Mail piece on Prince George was disappointing. Why write such things about a child? And you plan to interview this author???

Their children can’t possibly be titled. Harry and Meghan’s children are being raised as Americans in the USA which is of course a republic, their parents having already chosen to opt out of being working Royals preferring to be LA based celebrities. H and M not only continuously and shamelessly exploit their Royal connections for profit, they also break the rules set in law that all Royals must abide by and publicly support their favourite (Democrat) politicians, openly criticising and condemning (Republican) politicians they dislike. This is not merely a private family matter between a man and his feckless son, King Charles has to put duty to the Crown and the British people first and order them to live and work as and where they wish but without any titles.

Question: If an heir apparent is underage then a regent or regents are authorized to stand in the heir's place. We know that. But what if an heir is mentally incompetent or *has committed treason.* As with Charles 1, who was found guilty of treason, an heir who is equally guilty of treason (betrayal, disloyalty, deception, insurrection, fraud, white collar crimes, etc. -- all treason is against the Crown), can this heir remain in the line of succession? We know of one who has fled the country then publicly committed treason and slander, in TV interviews, and all done for personal enrichment, to become "financially independent". Again, *how can this treasonous person remain in the line of succession?*

More importantly, had the flight not been delayed they would of been there, before the Queen passed. No doubt Megan has no thoughts on that - nothing to do with her, was it Harry? 🤔

“No doubt the Queen has always fascinated as a bridge to yesteryear....literally just 1 generation away from the pre-WW1 age of Monarchy. The arc of her life is the story of Europe, America, and the changes of the West.” As an American, I am very much enjoying the history of the Queens life. The photo montages you have shared these past weeks have been quite amazing. Thank you!

You all do such a good job! I just love this channel and the montage at the end has brought me to tears.

You guys need to remember that when Charles had his investiture in 1969, there was not a coronation in the same year.

Ask Ms. Nichols how she feels about the harassment online..toward Prince George... relating to HER little story about 'my dad will be King'. People are really upset about what her cute little story has caused. As far as William having jealousy towards Harry..... what's there to be jealous of....smh

Beautiful, our Queen 😥❤

Imagine the sudden death of your mother, your life best friend abandoned you after Everything. You’d be heartbroken, it’s not about jealousy or anger. It’s about them being in this together and Harry choosing to leave him. Dianna wouldn’t have wanted this.

I agree with you Jo, Windsor is definitely worth visiting! Hello from France!

Are you going to ask Katie Nichol about the violent threats against Prince George because the unsorted statement in her book that George told another child that he better watch out because his father will be king one day.

So sad that one toxic woman can destroy the relationship between brothers.

Please never invite Katie Nicholl again! It's awfull, she wrote about George.

Great program, lots of updates, love the trio of reporters!!

I do not believe one word from Katie's book. The inclusion of a comment made by P George a very young child is abhorrent. My heart goes to Prince William this constant dissection of his relationship with his wayward brother. Where is the evidence of the sources ? I hope there is a truly wonderful celebration for The Prince of Wales. It's part of our culture these rituals.

So glad to see a Prince with backbone 🦁 (cohones actually)

you can't sue against the truth.

PLEASE…. There needs to be an investiture of William & Catherine! The World needs some pageantry & tradition!

Why would PW 'feel insecure'...is this lady Charlotte real? PW has always looked out for Harry, covering his tracks! and has no reason whatsoever to be jealous of Harry !! They cannot rebut the contents of either of the books because they would expose themselves in plain sight! The joke is now on them! They clearly stated they were not interested in the titles, so why the sudden desperate whine for titles? It would be a tragedy to the RF and Monarchy if HMTK were to confer titles on their children.

Totally agree with Charlotte about Princess Royal! I have Couturiers on preorder, looking forward to it. So sad to see the changes in the brother’s relationship.

That montage left me gutted. It was achingly beautiful and so heartfelt.

Great discussion today. Princess Ann cracking the whip over the family, as Philip did? Yes, yes, yes. H&M? What puzzles me endlessly is why Harry and Meghan each and as a couple seem so invested in proclaiming and ensuring their own unhappiness. I suppose they fan the flame of anger and victimhood in each other because they have no one else to talk to -- and/or they don't want to listen to other opinions. They obviously have no understanding of how ridiculously perverse their behavior actually is.

Loved the beautifully organised montage of Elizabeth the Great. Thankyou for putting out a program that is informative and so well done! Of course, kudos to the fellow Aussie 'in charge'.

Thank you Jo and your panel loved this episode ❤️

They fit their time , the British Monarchy is in safe hands 👑🇬🇧🙏

I so wish Harry and Meghan would shut up and live the life quietly like they said they wanted

It is so sad that the relationship between the brothers has been damaged. In our family we have had a similar upset. 10 years plus, no contact. 28 family members with 4 choosing to be isolated. It is so hard to accept! Luckily for us we are not in the media spotlight.
