Royal style: 'tis the season for tiaras, fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la

I agree. I am really warming to her watching this - though my ardent republican DP is sniping from the sidelines!

Same. I think she's coming across really well, she really put Mary Berry at ease. All the little reassuring touches on Mary's shoulder and the constant use of her name.

The Duke of Gloucester is an architect. He planned a lifelong career as a working architect until his elder brother died and he was in line for the dukedom. I think he still does a lot of architecture related activities.

I'm watching too. I really disliked that dress in photos but I quite like it in motion. I wouldn't wear it myself but it suits her.

My DH is also sniping from the sidelines! "Why does such a stunning woman dress like she's one hundred years old? Bezza is better dressed than her!"

I love Mary Berry's navy jumper with the stars!

William on the other hand clearly came with a prepared script.

I retract that actually. He was absolutely wonderful with the people in the homeless charity.

I wasn't sure about William but I did like him making the joke about the blue hair. I get the sense that he really would like to be involved but it isn't his natural environment.

I've only just got home so am watching it now.

Yes I knew about the Duke @SenecaFalls but I'm not sure what his children do.

This is fun! And happily not all about the royals, but centered well on the charities and food.

I'm on catch up so just watching now, it definitely confirms that Kate Cambridge really is my most favourite Royal, love her!

Wow. Make it a competition and William absolutely comes to life!

Am just starting it now. Never mind anything else, I am trying the beetroot chocolate cake!!!

Well that was just lovely television

Brilliant bit of escapism; I really enjoyed it.

That red dress also looked far better in movement than in still photos.

Christ though, how many different ways can they ask her why it’s good to play outside? 😂 She must want to scream “I’ve told you all this a hundred bloody times”.

Bless her, she’s just gorgeous.

Nice to hear her talking in a relaxed way, she’s seems very genuine. No artifice. I used to think she was a bit of a stuffed shirt but she’s really coming into her own.

My boys have the football on so I'll be watching tomorrow.

I'm not sure what his children do

No idea about the daughters, but Lord Ulster was in the army for a while and now I think is involved in non-profit organizations. His wife is a physician, though, so that's certainly useful.

I notice she’s pronouncing Charlotte the same way as the rest of us.

I’m sure in a clip a while ago she was saying Char-LOT.

Whoever's doing their PR deserves an OBE at the least!

@QueenOfTheAndals totally agree. That was a total home run.

Controversial opinion: I like Kate's red dress. It's festive!

Oh how gorgeous and lovely. Dh thought so too but still thinks they should be abolished!

Well, that was just beautiful, loved it and them!

I'm loving the easy chat. I mean, she's clearly thought ahead about the anecdotes but they are clearly genuine. I'm not finished yet but I think it's coming over brilliantly.
