    I could listen to Stephen Fry for hours. He recently came to my home town in Australia and I was away from home, so couldn’t see his show. So disappointed!

      @johnking5174 2 месяца назад +2

      Note at 6:49 - Parkinson says this film of Stephen's is coming out on 29th April. And then Parkinson says Stephen will be attending the royal wedding of Prince Charles to Camilla (next week). This happened on Saturday 9th April 2005, so this interview must have happened on Saturday 2nd April 2005, in fact the day Pope John Paul II died.

    Love Stephen but find it strange he believes in a monarchy, especially one that is head of the church. Surely he doesn’t believe in the anointing of kings. I wonder if he’s ever discussed his atheism with Charles or the double standards around marriage.

      Stephen is an atheist and so finds that ceremony just purely historical and forms part of tradition.

    Now in 2025, Stephen Fry will become Sir Stephen Fry, after he got a knighthood in the 2025 New Year's Honours List. I am not a royalist, and I really like Stephen, but his brown nosing of Charles and the royals just makes me feel sick. So he has won his reward.
