Just saw a video where Prince William was talking about scones, and he pronounced it properly-scone to rhyme with gone! Debate over. Your Royal Highness, all is forgiven. I won’t even ask why you were faffing around talking about scones….

I think the old Queen would have said 'scin' or 'scen' with posh strangled vowels so maybe we should standardise to that. (Or maybe not!)

Oh definitely 😂

I am very sorry not sorry but I don’t understand, why you some adding unnecessary butter, to already scone cream & jam, thereby ruining yummy taste of jam and cream, by adding butter.

But my family think I’m heathen (?) as I don’t like butter with jacket potatoes either.

I put butter on crackers with cheese! Also, I love a bit of potato on my butter!

I asked the maid in dulcet tone,
To order me a buttered scone,
The silly girl has been and gone,
And ordered me a buttered scone.

(A Poem in Punch magazine 1913)

No, I don't think William does actually pronounce scone differently when he gets home unless Kate insists.

Catherine would absolutely defer to William in matters of poshness.

@Recklessismymiddlename I'm pretty sure I have seen some sensible and considered posts from you but "I don’t like butter with jacket potatoes either." - I'm sorry , that is just all shades of wrong 😊.Are you one of those ne'er do wells who put milk in scrambled eggs as well ? 😂

I doubt it. I suspect she defers to no-one.

@Allseeingallknowing & @BasiliskStare im laughing so much

I know my family think I’m weird I’m just not a butter person except when I’m having it with marmite or to be pedantic gluten free yeast extract 😆

Really? She's a ' commoner' among Royals. She'll be out on her ear if she steps out of line!

Defer was the wrong word. Take his lead on what’s proper posh. Is that better?

No idea, I suspect it wouldn't matter that much to William ☺️!
