It is interesting to know some thin gs inside the Royal Family, The Parron of Scotland Rugby for amn years were Princess Anne - whose son used to play rugby as well, Her son-in-law was captain of England Rugby as well, It is not clear whether Prncess Anne is still patron as she as not been seen at tests and introduced to players anymore, Zara Tindall and her husband lives on Gatscombe Park Estate in a separate cottage fom the House where Princess Anne lives - so they must see each other on a virtual daily basis, No rugby arguments there in evidence,


Prince William is the patron of Welsh RBuby and Princess Kate of English Rugby - but there is no indication that their personal interests in rugby will be leading to too many rugby quarrels.


Much better as to what happens on this site - so we mustn be ebtter n conduct than we are at present,

I don’t know, Mike. She’s still visible sometimes but I agree that she doesn’t always get introduced to the players these days.


No Royal is associated with the Irish team, for obvious reasons :) And Prince Andrew is no more….he's just plain old Andrew now.

May be wrong - but both Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Harry has dishonered the good name of the Royal Family, The King himnself looks worse every time he appears in public. I am sorry for Prince William and Catherine - as well as Edward and his wife Sophie for what hey have to face at present, None of the children of Princess Anne or Prince Edward has royal titles because the parents decided not to give them titles since they want them to be wihout burden of titles when working in in their private life,


I think King Charles should follow the examples of The Netherlamds, Belgium and Spainish royal families and abdicate and hand the throne over to their heirs - all bar the Belgium king married middle class spouces and they know what the actual needs of people are and would not cause the same problems as Andrew and Harry did,


I am also sorry for the two daughters of Andrew who have been disgraced by their parents conduct,

I don’t think Charles will ever abdicate, Mike. He’s waited too long to get the Crown !
