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.

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!
