'normal' used very loosly. With the castles and ponies and diamonds and stuff.

I think, in general, I'm not keen on him. But he's coming over rather well here.

I am enjoying it too - I love archive footage like this. Having said that, the Australian trip they were just discussing was where Charles and Anne (who were, erm, 6 and 4?) got left behind for 5 months. Sad that if was ever felt that was the best option.

But I like seeing the family just interacting and playing. Also Winston Churchill brandishing a branch on the bank of the river at Balmoral. Cracking!

I bet prince Phillip was like Fa in the pursuit of love. Alternately roaring at and sobbing over his children.

There is a huge amount of love there.

It's lovely Smile

The slide down the steps on the ship made me Grin

But yes, the children left behind for 5 months. I know they live a pretty idyllic lifestyle, but it is clearly not without its costs.
