Looking dapper Richard Eden! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas, Richard Eden. You have done a beautiful job with “Reading the Royals”. Congratulations and may you enjoy God’s blessings in the New Year.
Well done-
You did a great job, Richard. Please remember to say 'sisters-in-law' instead of 'sister-in-laws.' It's a common mistake, but since you often report on Princess Catherine and The Duchess of Sussex, it's a good idea to remember the correct way to refer to them. Please forgive me if you find this impolite. I just want you to be the best reporter on the planet! Please correct the mistakes I have made in my post as I'm sure I have made plenty! Isn't it nice to learn from one another? Merry Christmas, Richard!

Great job and insights, Mr. Eden! 😄
I loved this episode, thank you!!!
It is poignant Queen Camilla's children could celebrate Christmas with her. She shouldn't be punished for having a lifelong, unwavering love for the king. Yes, Camilla was the third in the marriage of Charles and Diana, but only after Charles gave the marriage a valiant effort for an entitled attention starved princess. Had Diana been more mature, she may have kept Charles in tow but sadly even as an older adult she was still maturity stunted. If there is blame for the union of a shy and quite mentally unbalanced Diana and a Prince that has been raised to be king, it would fall in the lap of the beloved Queen Elizabeth who held strong to the traditions of royalty. A love that was sparked in the heart and has stood the test of time is that of HRH's King Charles and Queen Camilla. May God save the king, and may Princess Diana be with the loving angels that she showed such compassion to humankind here on Earth.
How dapper you look in your tuxedo! A very nice touch indeed
Thank You, Richard, You Are The Best …Love Your Programs 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌺🌺
Very nicely done.
So odd that the Daily Fail is drifting towards the Sharkle camp.
Congrats to Edward. Very much like Harry. He met somebody, fell in love and blow to every one else who didn't accept her. Ironic how they were both Americans.
Great view of the Royal Christmas
It seems to me that many of the tensions within the family over the years have had Charles involved in some quiet way, and they still do.
Sisters in law, not sister in laws?
Diana was no Angel despite all of the good PR behind her. Sure, Charles cheated and wronged her but she could atleast be civil and shouldn't replicate the bad behavior of PoW and showcasing it to the world while claiming that the media harassed her. She is Part of the long standing tension and her demise. She shoud never ever trust the MEDIA. No wonder she was dumped by Khan. 👀
WHY AREN'T YOU SPILLING THE BEANS ABOUT THE WORST KEPT SECRET? THE HUGE QUESTION MARKS AROUND THE BIRTHS OF THE INVISIBLE SUSSEX CHILDREN? ESPECIALLY THE SURROGATE RUMOURS. LADY C's BOOK HAS BEEN OUT FOR MONTHS AND STILL NOT A WORD FROM YOU!
Charles a detached selfish adulterer…
the abdication was the best thing to happen to the nation and the greater empire, God knows what would have happened to us all with a traitor king
Megan has always clung on to Harry- in every way lol

Now how about a retelling of the Shooting of John F Kennedy. (like US TV) Of all the stories the day after Christmas…Geesh.
I really enjoy these shorts. Thank you!
I assume the Wales family can no longer have Christmas at the Middleton's? Do they see them at all during this time? I always wonder if the family of those who marry into the Royal Family ever get to spend Christmas with them again.
Oh Richard, you're a master of understatement. "MM's curtsey became quite deep in her netflix special"
The 1992 pic of William, Harry and now King, one of the most telling body notes look at Harrys fisted hands.
An outstanding presentation Richard now bring Ms. Rebecca on once and awhile!
Thanks Richard…. Loved this!
George v1, was a wonderful King,given the odds were stacked against him, we know this as Queen Elizabeth 11, went on to reign for 70 plus yrs, her father & mother layed the foundations for their daughter.
I must confess that very often, I interpret photographs in a completely opposite way from Richard Eden.
2017 was apparently not the first time a non-family member was invited to Sandringham. According to Robert Lacey, Catherine Middleton was invited in 2006 – four years before she was even engaged – but she turned it down to be with her own family. As for MM, she was invited because as an American living in the UK, she had nowhere else to go and no one else to be with. Her Majesty was a kind and thoughtful woman.
Photos can't really be read. Especially snapshots, because faces are caught in different steps of eyes blinking, words said, etc."Emotions" are often manipulated by those placing the pics in their papers.
I can never look at Charles without contempt. He’s proven he’s as weak & feckless as writers have been saying he’s been since a child. That he would be so selfish as to breakup his young family for that woman who was desiring to become queen & push Diana aside. Camilla will never have my respect & her husband is a fraud.
He would have never been a leader. Edward VIII was an entitled, spoiled man. Thank God that he did step down or the UK would or could have been different.
Great pictures thank you ❤
I loved it, Richard, thank you!
I don't think Camilla's children should be included, they are Not Royal Bloodline! What a shame on Charles doing this! I knew years ago he was going to ruin everything his Mother had built!
When will charles get some credit. He did everything jn his power to choose duty over true love. Not just love, but true love. Diana didnt make it easy and also had her affairs. Charles had one lover and it was his dedication to the monarchy that forced him to try the impossible, give up his true love.
Every time the media calls Camellia " Queen" one just wants to vomit! Princess Diana and Catherine and Sophie are the "stars" of the royal show
