Looks like the appetite for all things Royal from Britain is not going away soon as his fiction novel Royal Spin is to become a show on Universal Television. They’re a division of Universal Studio Group, who acquired the rights to the show when they took part in an ‘intense bidding war’.

I have no idea where you live, @TicTacToes but I've worked all over NYC. At one point, I was speaking Spanish daily. Then my job moved me to a location where people spoke Chinese ( multiple dialects) , Russian, Albanian, Arabic and Yiddish. At my current location, I'm planning on studying French since I am seeing so many French speakers these days. If you don't use it, you lose it.

@TicTacToes why do you think William wants to broker a settlement with Harry? 🤷‍♀️

I think that's the difference, @BemusedAmerican . William has worked under the radar on long term issues of concern and interest.
He's doing projects which will be long lasting and he's doing it with a sincere motive, not to get tabloid headlines, or to swell his coffers or to get some meaningless "award". This is about a life of service. Using his title and influence for positive ends.

I say Mrs - " swelling his coffers" We'll have no more of that talk 😂😂

About 29% of the population of Wales speaks Welsh so you've just language-shamed most of Wales.

It's not an easy language to learn. According to the Daily Mail, William does speak some languages and his kids speak Spanish with their nanny.

My father's first language was not English. My grandparents spent nearly 60 years in the US, and never really learned English - it was hard to communicate with them. I never learned their language. My mother felt that Spanish was more useful in the NY Metro area. It's really hard to be fluent if you don't use the language every day.

He had all the time in the world and did not follow his father’s example in that respect. I have one parent who is Welsh and he doesn’t speak it either. 😊

‘cyfrwngddarostyngedigaethau‘

I wouldn’t even know how to begin to say the above. As I make an attempt I hear, in my own head, the welsh sounds. A harsh language but beautiful when put to music.
