    The clip opens with the best man, Prince William of Gloucester, brother of Richard. One month later he was dead, piloting his own plane. The RF was devastated.

      Prince Charles was so close to his uncle that he named his first son William in his honor.

    This was such a charming country wedding. And her gown by Hartnell is beautifully simply and understated.

    Six weeks later, Prince William of Gloucester died in a plane crash, Prince Richard became heir apparant to the duchy of Gloucester. He had to give up his career as an architect, because someone had to look after the estate and his father was suffering from stroke. Prince Richard became the 2. Duke of Gloucester in 1974, when Prince Henry died at the age of 74. He was the last surviving son of George V.

    You have to admire this Royal couple, carrying out their engagements so beautifully, discreetly, and a credit to themselves and the Royal Family. Maybe other members of the family could learn from them.
