@@wm9785 Queen never said he was her favorite. I think it's just Andrew's PR. Queen had always chosen to spent more time with Edward and his family and if anyone was favorite of Queen, than that was Edward.
yes. and her atrocious spending and irresponsibility by running up millions of $ in lavish vacations, travel and who know what else. Thats how andy got mixed-up with Epstein. Loans ,at first
I think Charles was infatuated with Diana at the beginning and hoped they would grow to love each other. That was never going to happen as they were just too different. Diana pretended to like country life before marriage.
That's what narcissists do to snag their prey. They pretend and mirror back to their prey what they are and what they want. The narcissists know they are none of those things but they are too emotionally immature and stupid to realize it will never work in the end. Of course they get bored easily so it's not that big of a deal if they want to end things. But God forbid their victims walk away first. They become very angry and vindictive because the control and decision is taken from them. Diana went nuts when Charles went back to Camilla even though it was obvious by her behavior towards Charles that she didn't really want him. She just didn't want him to be happy with anyone else but her. The rejection was a huge blow to her fragile ego. Megan is even worse. At least Diana seemed to have some genuine care for others deep down but her childhood trauma caused heavy narcissistic traits and issues with close relationships. Megan appears to be a malignant narcissist that truly uses everyone around her to climb a social ladder. She also does not truly care about Harry but unless she can find a more famous or richer supply (victim), she is hanging on tight.
The portrayal of Charles as a negligent father was clearly unfair. IMO, by her actions, Diana in some ways appeared to reinforce this idea. . . .by design? Was it to make her appear to be the better, more loving parent?
@@HR-nl7fc a couple of anecdotes from the housekeeper doesn't make Charles an attentive father. It is well known he is a workaholic - I've known a few in my time and the children don't get to spend enough time with a workaholic parent.

No big surprise to me that Fergie is so 'earthy'. When she was a child, her mother took off with a lover and Fergie grew up with her father, Mr. Ferguson who trained and took care of the RF polo ponies. So it's pretty safe to say Fergie was raised in a barn.
Fergie got on so well with Andrew because they are both gross and arrogant and fond of vulgar humour. Fergie was incredibly socially clumsy and didn't realize how idiotic she was being. Almost as if she had a reputation death wish (See "Fergie, My Story" as read per Shauna in The Vintage Read). I stopped listening for a few moments and asked "Why? Why did you do it??" Too, too strange! And she hasn't changed. At Cannes Film Festival this year she was giving a speech ( At a film festival? Fergie? Why?).

It seems that's the way she is. Thank you, Cheere. I do so enjoy your readings. And your Diana voice is epic!

I really didn't know Sarah Ferguson was such a vulgar boor. I'd always thought of her as a jolly, well-meaning woman that nobody tried to understand. I felt that if I'd been catapulted into the royal family, I might have met similar disapproval. It goes to show, I was as fooled by propaganda as the Diana fans were about her; we all were carrying around airbrushed images of these women in our heads. Now I know that if I were in her place, I might be ignorant, but I'd never be rude and entitled like she was. She reminds me of the character of Ulgine Barrows in James Thurber's short story "The Catbird Seat", who is described as romping into an office like a circus horse, and bulldozing her way over everyone with a quacking voice and braying laugh.
I feel your original impression of Fergie may not be too far off the mark. She seems like a female version of many aristo, country set boys who are sent to boarding school very early and have arrested, or erratic, social skills. Stables, locker room crude, yet somewhat imperious which can appear insensitive and condescending. They’re emotionally children in adult bodies. While they may marry for love, if it doesn’t work out, discreet, affairs are acceptable. Their parents and their friends’ parents may have had marriages of convenience where infidelity was tolerated.
@@Wanda711 she wasn't 'catspulted in' her father is the nephew of Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester. The family has a tradition of service to the Royal Family. Major Ron was "Polo manager" to the Prince of Wales and had instant access to the royal residences. In other words, they mixed in Royal circles.
It is something the BRF would learn from their mistakes with Diana and Fergie thinking their mother’s would have schooled them in Royal protocol when neither had much of a relationship with their mothers. Now anyone marrying into the Royal family has classes on extensive world/cultural protocol. Manners around the world/stylists and posture. Both Sophie and Catherine took two years of those classes before their marriages. The shame of it is the Royal KIDS could have benefitted from those classes. It might have been a huge difference for both York sisters and Harry. A good example of refining Catherine if you watch her posture before the Royal Family. She had a sporty exuberance, which is still there but sharpened by posture.

Crudités are a veriety of raw vegtables. However, the word derives from the latin "crudus", which means "bloody". It sounds like a silly English word game as vegtables can't bleed. Silly word games are quite common in the English culture. For example, the novels by Dorothy L. Sayers are full of silly speech by Lord Peter Wimsey.
It also means not cooked. It connotes bloody because raw meat is bloody. I just looked it up in my dictionary of Origins! Thanks for pointing this out. ❤
I was surprised how well Fergie has recouped her image. The signs were there but I didn't see how fully morally corrupt she is.. She really is an awful person who gained some power and psychotically toying with those she considered below her.
As the ex wife of a cheater, I can assure you that most of us do not want to make up and go to bed together. The fear of contracting a disease is usually the least of the multiple reasons for avoiding sex.
Maybe Charles was spoilt, but I remember reading about how shy he was as a teenager, and what torment his schooldays were. His father had no tolerance for sensitivity in his heir and no respect for an artistic temperament. So he grew up with immense privilege, and an immense consciousness of being not good enough. And very little outward affection shown to him. I think he's done well, considering. I like your balanced view.
09:07 no I don't think it was because of age difference because her protection officer Barry Mannakee(whith whom Diana was flirting outrageously in episode 3)was 2 years older than charles, Diana's other lover Oliver Hoare was also older than charles.
I learned the hard way decades ago that the opposite of love isn’t hate. The opposite of love is indifference. Once a relationship reaches that stage the relationship is over whether people “stay together “ or not. It sounds like her, the ski trip was the absolute end. Charles probably didn’t want her there anyway. I wouldn’t have. Ps I don’t want this book to end. The sign of a great one.
Hmmmmm..funny...hairless was nice to his ponies when young...feeding it sugar cubes, apples, carrots...what warped his mind to treat his polo ponies so horrifically later in his life?...
@@ginahaider8205yes, he insisted on riding a pregnant mare at a polo match, both mare and foal died. He also drew blood with misuse of spurs on another occasion. Shame on him and his flunkeys that allowed it !!
@@virginiarobinson2042There is NO evidence that that pony was in foal. Her name was 'Drizzle' and she died of a heart attack. Please research a bonafide report and not rumours on the Internet.
Fergie's father was Prince Philip's polo manager and good friend. Fergie grew up with Andrew and Edward. Charles and Anne knew her. After her parent's spilt up, HMTQ made a special effort to include Fergie in events like birthday parties, and riding on weekends with her own children (She is a good horsewoman). According to some sources, she was always a little bit "naughty" (breaking rules to some extent) her behavior towards those outside of the BRF got worse after her marriage.
New sub here and I must say that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the way you narrate and your side comments make me giggle!! Keep this videos! Much love from northern Indiana ❤️
Maybe the joke is just that crudités are simply fresh veggies and dip? Such a fancy word for his damm veggies from the garden? I dunno either. We are clearly out of our depth here lol. 😆
@@notpurrfect6397 riding instructor just smoke and mirrors. She never did any riding. There is not one photograph of her on a horse and she did not like horses or dogs. Just like we have never seen Catherine Middleton on a horse.
The more I hear the more I get the feeling Diana might have gotten along with Meghan actually. I can see a lot of similarities in their negative behavior, unfortunately.
Diana’s jealousy probably would have doomed relationships with both women. The only ‘friends’ she had near the end of her life were ‘motherly’ women not as much equals, but cared for her. She would have viewed Catherine’s closeness with HMTQ as ‘suspicious’ because she never felt that way, picking up Charles’ own distance from both parents. She wouldn’t have understood Catherine could love the Queen because she is so at ease within herself. Something Meghan and Diana are almost total opposites from that kind of self assuredness.
Crudités- it is possibly the fact that crudités comes from the latin crudus, meaning "rough, not cooked, raw, bloody". So he's kind of saying "bloody bloody" and saying it in a "rough" voice with the growl. Its kind of like saying los angeles angels, chai tea, or the sahara desert (the angels angels, tea tea, or the desert desert)
Personally, I think he was trying to make a joke, When I was younger, we used to call this dish 'crudities' (in the smutty sense of the word) so maybe Charles was also implying this?
I thibk the dishonesty in the beginning of the marriage. With charles saying camilla was just a friend and dianasliwly finding everything out was the downfall. I think dianas immaturity and erratic behaviour didnt help
Plus Diana did what many of us girls were told, ‘laugh at his jokes, like what he likes.’ She did a great job acting like she just LOVED ‘country life’, fishing, hiking and even polo. After she got married that’s when she unloaded on him how much she despised Balmoral, in particular. Hated his ‘tweedy friends and their inside jokes’. He was so much older and should have spent more time getting to know her and instead he viewed it as getting his father off his back to ‘stop dithering, Charles!’
Sarah can be a weird duck (bouncing a dog on your naked pregnant belly?), but I never realized how rude she could be to people. She seems a perfect match for Andrew even all these years later. I've never heard stories about Beatrice and Eugenie being rude to people, which makes me wonder who else may have been a strong influence in their lives...perhaps the late Queen, a devoted nanny or close friends they may have made as they grew older?
Perhaps the York daughters were kinder because they were embarrassed at their parents' rude behavior. You either are determined not to be your parents or you become them.
@@Anna-BernadetteGood point. I think it takes strong-willed children to recognize their parents' shortcomings and choose not to emulate their bad behavior and lack of manners.
I'm surprised how much I'm enjoying this, it's so interesting and insightful without the spite or speculation *some* authors peddle. I also love your Diana voice. I was on the Elizabeth Line- the newest tube ( subway) line in London on Friday and the announcement voice reminded me of your Diana and I got the giggles. Thank you 😊
That joke isn't what I'd call a knee-slapper, but maybe it revolves around the fact that in more genteel times "bloody" was considered a swear word. So "bloody crudités" (crudities) might be considered a double-barrelled swear.
My mother was not allowed to say bloody. Her Mum, My lovely Nana used to tell me off too. Some kids when I was six or so used to say things like "Oh the bloody tower". It's part of the Tower of London, and other such things if bloody was part of the name. That was in the 70s. My parents didn't mind it though.
@@TefiTheWaterGipsy It was definitely considered a "bad" word earlier in the 20th century. Remember in Shaw's 'Pygmalion', Eliza Doolittle creates a sensation when she says "Walk? Not bloody likely! I'm going in a taxi."
When you said Charles was supposed to be the spiritual leader of his house, that was right on point. While he's home taking communion by himself, he completely neglects his spiritual duties to his own family, and you get the impression he is oblivious to it.
Great video, thanks. Fergie does come across as quite obnoxious. I always felt sorry for her when the press were roasting her, but not anymore. I had read the book before, but your angle on it is quite refreshing, also funny in parts.
The Diana/Charles problem was on Diana. She was supremely self centered, immature and unrealistic. She was unable to maintain a single healthy relationship. Diana was not good friends with the recent widow,it would have been better for an actual friend to have been there.
I always believed that Charles never loved Diana. I have changed my mind. He seems to have been fond of her at one time. I don't think she loved him but was caught up in being royal and romance.
@ l.h.2543 The failure of their marriage is on both of them. Their respective upbringing created two people who were unable to relate in a positive way to each other on an emotional level (no empathy for each other)
@l.h.2543. I think you will find Charles was as self-centered and immature as Diana and the only reason he has relationships or friendships is because he's a prince/king. He's a man-child like most men but worse.
@@user-vf3zi6we3g I agree Charles was very self-centered. But Diana was a complete loon who catfished him By portraying herself as a country girl, who loved Balmoral
I think their marriage was doomed from the begining. At worst, Diana was dishonest by acting like she was someone that she was not, to attract K. Charles and seriously hunted him down. At worst on K. Charles part, he was in love with another woman. Whether emotional or physical, he was not going into this marriage with a full heart for P. Diana.. They both entered into a marriage with false actions. They may have "tried" at some points but even lust only acts as a bandaid, not a solution, and only lasts so long. My grandmother used to say, when you have feelings for someone, it is only human nature to show your best side. In that, you do not really even START seeing basic faults until after 6 months to a year. Those two rushed into it but also had dishonesty and deceit in their hearts from the beginning. Maybe if they both had been upfront from the begining, they would have realised that they, while great people in their own way, together they just brought out the worst in each other.it is a very sad story. Unfortunately some people feel that the end always justifies the means. 😢
He wasn’t in love with Camilla , when he married, they had a deep friendship but they had gone their separate ways because of their situations, but when they caught up through mutual friends ( Petronella Whyatt) they had similar experiences having seriously unfaithful,partners That brought them close.
Have you never seen the film "The lion in winter?" Peter O'toole Katharine Hepburn play Henry ll and Elearnor of Aquittaine have a ding dong of one upmanship one winter in the eveventh century with their children...
Loved this episode! I have already posted twice 😬 but gotta say that Fergie’s behavior seems intentional- she knew who Wendy was! Insulting her or anyone for that matter is outrageous- I’m horrible with names, always have been, but I would never ask anyone their name that way? Crazy ugly.
@lindamanuel9073 Diana admitted that she was the first to step out on the marriage. In an interview, I believe, with speech coach Peter Setelin. Does not mean that is true, since she bent the truth all the time, but she is on videotape saying that.

Is it something from _The Goon Show_ ? That was a longtime favorite of Charles', and it was heavy on puns and non sequiturs. Was it a crudité/crudity pun?
All I know about the crudites, is that it's a Windsor family joke, a longstanding one, and it has to do with the pronunciation. And it is a tidbit I read, years ago, I don't know where. I think is originated with Charles and Anne.
the British using the work “ bloody” as a swear word is akin to an American saying The G.D. Whatever…it references the blood of Christ..so it started out a bit blasphemous….The French word for cold sliced veg. Is pronounced…Crew…De…Tay….
@@virginialangford6257 And the word 'crudity' is very similar. Charles' joke was NOTHING to do with 'bloody' and everything to do with a silly schoolboy take on a word. 'Nuff said?

Once a relationship reaches that stage the relationship is over whether people “stay together “ or not.
It sounds like her, the ski trip was the absolute end. Charles probably didn’t want her there anyway. I wouldn’t have.
Ps I don’t want this book to end. The sign of a great one.
Your show is most enjoyable. Thank you
Glad you enjoy it!
Hmmmmm..funny...hairless was nice to his ponies when young...feeding it sugar cubes, apples, carrots...what warped his mind to treat his polo ponies so horrifically later in his life?...
He grew up to treat everyone horribly not just his poor ponies
@@AJA-ie5uu what? He killed a pony during /short after a polo match
@@ginahaider8205yes, he insisted on riding a pregnant mare at a polo match, both mare and foal died. He also drew blood with misuse of spurs on another occasion. Shame on him and his flunkeys that allowed it !!
@@virginiarobinson2042 These stories are NOT true but people insist on 'believing' them for their own reasons.
@@virginiarobinson2042There is NO evidence that that pony was in foal. Her name was 'Drizzle' and she died of a heart attack. Please research a bonafide report and not rumours on the Internet.
Fergie's father was Prince Philip's polo manager and good friend. Fergie grew up with Andrew and Edward. Charles and Anne
knew her. After her parent's spilt up, HMTQ made a special effort to include Fergie in events like birthday parties, and riding on
weekends with her own children (She is a good horsewoman). According to some sources, she was always a little bit "naughty"
(breaking rules to some extent) her behavior towards those outside of the BRF got worse after her marriage.

I dont normally watch this type of video but I'm really enjoying it. Now I cant wait for your next video.
There’s a whole playlist of you want to catch up on the four previous episodes!
This was so heartwarming to hear about Charles playing with the boys ♥️
I love your book reviews. You do a perfect Diana. Thank you for taking the time to keep us entertained.
Wikipedia says that the word crudite literally means crude, raw, bloody...so guessing Charles was amused at the play on words
You're right, Charles sounds like an overall delightful and warm man. Sure he can be cranky at times, but who among of us is without faults?
Elitists at this level a different species. It’s a mistake to decide there’s anything normal about them.
New sub here and I must say that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the way you narrate and your side comments make me giggle!! Keep this videos!
Much love from northern Indiana ❤️
Welcome aboard!
Maybe the joke is just that crudités are simply fresh veggies and dip? Such a fancy word for his damm veggies from the garden? I dunno either.
We are clearly out of our depth here lol. 😆
The children's soldier costumes were gifts from James Hewitt, her riding instructor. Also explains her improved mood!
@@notpurrfect6397 riding instructor just smoke and mirrors.
She never did any riding. There is not one photograph of her on a horse and she did not like horses or dogs. Just like we have never seen Catherine Middleton on a horse.
The opposite of love isn’t hate, it’s indifference.
Fergie always struck me as being vile. I wondered how she ever married into the royal family.
I thought she was fun when they first got married. Of course, I only saw the Public Persona.
@@lesgensdeprovenceontlaparo6531 she had also cohabited with a racing driver for several years.
She married the most vile of Queen Elizabeth's children.
The more I hear the more I get the feeling Diana might have gotten along with Meghan actually. I can see a lot of similarities in their negative behavior, unfortunately.
Diana’s jealousy probably would have doomed relationships with both women. The only ‘friends’ she had near the end of her life were ‘motherly’ women not as much equals, but cared for her. She would have viewed Catherine’s closeness with HMTQ as ‘suspicious’ because she never felt that way, picking up Charles’ own distance from both parents. She wouldn’t have understood Catherine could love the Queen because she is so at ease within herself. Something Meghan and Diana are almost total opposites from that kind of self assuredness.
Crudités- it is possibly the fact that crudités comes from the latin crudus, meaning "rough, not cooked, raw, bloody". So he's kind of saying "bloody bloody" and saying it in a "rough" voice with the growl. Its kind of like saying los angeles angels, chai tea, or the sahara desert (the angels angels, tea tea, or the desert desert)
Personally, I think he was trying to make a joke, When I was younger, we used to call this dish 'crudities' (in the smutty sense of the word) so maybe Charles was also implying this?
I thibk the dishonesty in the beginning of the marriage. With charles saying camilla was just a friend and dianasliwly finding everything out was the downfall. I think dianas immaturity and erratic behaviour didnt help
Plus Diana did what many of us girls were told, ‘laugh at his jokes, like what he likes.’ She did a great job acting like she just LOVED ‘country life’, fishing, hiking and even polo. After she got married that’s when she unloaded on him how much she despised Balmoral, in particular. Hated his ‘tweedy friends and their inside jokes’. He was so much older and should have spent more time getting to know her and instead he viewed it as getting his father off his back to ‘stop dithering, Charles!’
It's more of a finger food. Vegetables cut into sticks you dip into different sauces. They're served as nibbles before sitting down for a meal.
Could you imagine Fergie using the Americans for money if they had known about this book! Thanks!❤
Poor gullible Americans, always lift up the rebel royals.
Sarah can be a weird duck (bouncing a dog on your naked pregnant belly?), but I never realized how rude she could be to people. She seems a perfect match for Andrew even all these years later. I've never heard stories about Beatrice and Eugenie being rude to people, which makes me wonder who else may have been a strong influence in their lives...perhaps the late Queen, a devoted nanny or close friends they may have made as they grew older?
Perhaps the York daughters were kinder because they were embarrassed at their parents' rude behavior. You either are determined not to be your parents or you become them.
@@Anna-BernadetteGood point. I think it takes strong-willed children to recognize their parents' shortcomings and choose not to emulate their bad behavior and lack of manners.
I'm surprised how much I'm enjoying this, it's so interesting and insightful without the spite or speculation *some* authors peddle. I also love your Diana voice. I was on the Elizabeth Line- the newest tube ( subway) line in London on Friday and the announcement voice reminded me of your Diana and I got the giggles. Thank you 😊
Love all the voices💜
You’re a great story teller.. I look forward to your next video❤
Thank you dear girl...im loving this so much!😊❤❤
Yes!!!!!!...just popped up on my feed!!!!...I am just loving these videos...great book...hope you are enjoying your holidays...
That joke isn't what I'd call a knee-slapper, but maybe it revolves around the fact that in more genteel times "bloody" was considered a swear word. So "bloody crudités" (crudities) might be considered a double-barrelled swear.
This.
This makes most sense and , I think, not a bad joke at all.
My mother was not allowed to say bloody. Her Mum, My lovely Nana used to tell me off too. Some kids when I was six or so used to say things like "Oh the bloody tower". It's part of the Tower of London, and other such things if bloody was part of the name. That was in the 70s. My parents didn't mind it though.
@@TefiTheWaterGipsy It was definitely considered a "bad" word earlier in the 20th century. Remember in Shaw's 'Pygmalion', Eliza Doolittle creates a sensation when she says "Walk? Not bloody likely! I'm going in a taxi."
I don't think H knew about this book when he wrote Waaagh.
When you said Charles was supposed to be the spiritual leader of his house, that was right on point. While he's home taking communion by himself, he completely neglects his spiritual duties to his own family, and you get the impression he is oblivious to it.
I'd have ironed the top few and left the rest creased lol
You are excellent at imitating Diana top marks ❤🎉
This book is wild! Oh, and I absolutely love your Princess Diana impressions. It's bloody brilliant!
Fergie is a good match for Andrew hence they are still together lol
They aren't together. She stays at Royal Lodge when in the country but resides in Switzerland.
@@misscoutts6193 They are very much together, she attends events with the RF she wouldn't be doing that if they weren't together.
@@BellaRainDrops--Plus she spoke on paying on Andrew’s needed repairs, we’ll see. She only pays when she has to.
Great video, thanks. Fergie does come across as quite obnoxious. I always felt sorry for her when the press were roasting her, but not anymore. I had read the book before, but your angle on it is quite refreshing, also funny in parts.
"Good morning darling how does it feel to be so old?" 🤣🤣🤣Good one Diana!
My immediate thought was that she was never going to live to that old.
@@kristinab881 oh my, didn't hit me 😕!
@@kristinab881oof. That hurt.
@@bluerose_11 she knew the age difference when she accepted his Proposal/business arrangement.
@@misscoutts6193 and it didn't matter to her...until it did lol
Cheere Denise can you imagine, the Prince of Wales asking for a tray of raw veggies from a top of the line chef? Haha it is kinda funny.
The Diana/Charles problem was on Diana. She was supremely self centered, immature and unrealistic. She was unable to maintain a single healthy relationship. Diana was not good friends with the recent widow,it would have been better for an actual friend to have been there.
I always believed that Charles never loved Diana. I have changed my mind. He seems to have been fond of her at one time. I don't think she loved him but was caught up in being royal and romance.
@ l.h.2543
The failure of their
marriage is on both
of them.
Their respective
upbringing created
two people who were
unable to relate in
a positive way to
each other on an
emotional level
(no empathy for
each other)
@l.h.2543. I think you will find Charles was as self-centered and immature as Diana and the only reason he has relationships or friendships is because he's a prince/king. He's a man-child like most men but worse.
@@user-vf3zi6we3g
Believable!
Prince Philip was known to be awful to his
staff --- Gee, where did Charles and Andrew get that from? {snark}
@@user-vf3zi6we3g I agree Charles was very self-centered. But Diana was a complete loon who catfished him By portraying herself as a country girl, who loved Balmoral
I think their marriage was doomed from the begining. At worst, Diana was dishonest by acting like she was someone that she was not, to attract K. Charles and seriously hunted him down. At worst on K. Charles part, he was in love with another woman. Whether emotional or physical, he was not going into this marriage with a full heart for P. Diana.. They both entered into a marriage with false actions. They may have "tried" at some points but even lust only acts as a bandaid, not a solution, and only lasts so long. My grandmother used to say, when you have feelings for someone, it is only human nature to show your best side. In that, you do not really even START seeing basic faults until after 6 months to a year. Those two rushed into it but also had dishonesty and deceit in their hearts from the beginning. Maybe if they both had been upfront from the begining, they would have realised that they, while great people in their own way, together they just brought out the worst in each other.it is a very sad story. Unfortunately some people feel that the end always justifies the means. 😢
He wasn’t in love with Camilla , when he married, they had a deep friendship but they had gone their separate ways because of their situations, but when they caught up through mutual friends ( Petronella Whyatt) they had similar experiences having seriously unfaithful,partners That brought them close.
Your facial expressions crack me up. 😂
Loving this book, and your comments 😀
Have you never seen the film "The lion in winter?" Peter O'toole Katharine Hepburn play Henry ll and Elearnor of Aquittaine have a ding dong of one upmanship one winter in the eveventh century with their children...
Great film...
Excellent film
Great King and Queen.
Fantastic film.
would love to see this film.
Loved this episode! I have already posted twice 😬 but gotta say that Fergie’s behavior seems intentional- she knew who Wendy was! Insulting her or anyone for that matter is outrageous- I’m horrible with names, always have been, but I would never ask anyone their name that way? Crazy ugly.
Can't wait for the next installment!
I look forward to listening every time. Thank you, Cheere.💛
I'm with you Cheere, I dont get the joke, (if indeed there is one) either. 😂
I get way too excited when you pop up in my alerts😂😂😂😂
Diana's got her own 'hobbie horse', to ride (sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander...)
Diana was the first to cheat and did so several times before Charles did
@@run4cmt Oh you were there in person when she first cheated?
@@run4cmtNO one KNOWS that for certain. Camilla was never far away from Charles. Why is that? 🤔
@@Roxy0405
There is such a thing
as an emotional affair.
@lindamanuel9073 Diana admitted that she was the first to step out on the marriage. In an interview, I believe, with speech coach Peter Setelin. Does not mean that is true, since she bent the truth all the time, but she is on videotape saying that.
Maybe the joke is that crudités are vegetables and Charles called them bloody🤭
Charles was not calling the veg 'bloody'. They are raw. He was having a wee schoolboy snicker at the word 'crudity'
Followers, let's like, share and subscribe to Cheere's delightful channel. She is such an excellent reader and commentator. She deserves double, treble and more members!
So kind! Thank you!!
Crudity is likely the pun
I have no idea what the joke could be - it must be British humor.
Is it something from _The Goon Show_ ? That was a longtime favorite of Charles', and it was heavy on puns and non sequiturs. Was it a crudité/crudity pun?
There was no joke, just Charles demanding this new dish he loved in french every evening.
I'm really enjoying this book ❤
It’s not loyalty, Charles expects. It’s respect.
Yes I just opened the app and it’s perfect timing for a new juicy chapter! 👏😄
All I know about the crudites, is that it's a Windsor family joke, a longstanding one, and it has to do with the pronunciation. And it is a tidbit I read, years ago, I don't know where. I think is originated with Charles and Anne.
Crudites is raw vegetables. "Bloody" (the original Lat. means bloody,) and the word is considered "Crude" .
the British using the work “ bloody” as a swear word is akin to an American saying The G.D. Whatever…it references the blood of Christ..so it started out a bit blasphemous….The French word for cold sliced veg. Is pronounced…Crew…De…Tay….
@@virginialangford6257 And the word 'crudity' is very similar. Charles' joke was NOTHING to do with 'bloody' and everything to do with a silly schoolboy take on a word. 'Nuff said?
Your hair looks so gorgeous!!!
🤣 Charles was being "crude" about the Crudites because he was demanding to know where they were and swore lol
Middle of the night and I can't sleep but Cheere has me covered!!!
fantastic!! KEEP GOING......... I look forward to this
So good once again. I had to stop gardening, get a cuppa and listen with all my attention.
BTW i very rarely comment on other channels but mostly do so on yours as I hope it contributes to your fame and fortune.
Thanks. Home from a long day, enjoying this just relaxing
They only thing I can think of regarding Charles's pronunciation of crudites is emphasizing Crude - because he thought it was bawdy? I'm not sure.
Brilliant 👏 thanks Cheere loving this book, with your narration of course x
Really enjoying this book! I'm here for any book you do. Thank you so much Cheere!
Awesome Book! It’s my fav so far❤
You really bring to life this entertaining book. I can see the scenes so clearly in my mind.
I’ve been binge watching your videos for a week. Love them! Thank you
Your "Diana" is perfect!
Thank you. When you come to an end of a chapter, I know I will be eagerly awaiting the next read.
Sadly, King Charles himself seeks love as a young child, older just wanted his parents to accept him! He would never do his children like he felt that he did!
