to be quite touched by Prince Charles's delight with his home movies?

[FiftyShadesOfBunting]

Its so lovely. And so relatively normal.

And bollox to the royal haterz.

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

I know what you mean though!

Her maj is very smiley.

Me too... Gosh this jubilee is turning me into a royalist.

I know, he clearly adores his 'mama' doesn't he?

I am loving it!!

Yep I think it's wonderful. They seem a very close and caring family.

My DH is grumbling! But tough poo, I'm going to watch jubilee programmes all weekend. Now how do I do royal smileys!?

isn't it nice to see her madge smiling and jolly.

dd on the Wii now, so can't watch any more, but it is really interesting even tho the whole jubilee 'thing' it getting on my nerves.

she seems like she was a lovely mum.

I've just turned over to watch it. Fab!

I'm enjoying muchly.

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

Lovely isn't it!

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!

love it too

yanbu

tis lovely. him and his 'mama' are coming across much better than I ever thought on this!

and my god doesn't he look like his dad when he was younger (and wills and him looked similar as youngsters too)

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

enjoying it here too.

queen is so elegant.
loving that theyre so 'normal'!

i want to be queen.

Cracking legs your majesty.

WTAF was Lord Mountbatten doing on that zip wire between the ships

Ahh, there you all are. I started a thread in TV but go no takers .

I heart princess Margaret.

I love that his face totally lights up when he's watching.

There is a huge amount of love there.

It's lovely

The slide down the steps on the ship made me

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.
