By happenstance, I caught a bit of three DOE silver/gold medallists talking about Prince Edward on Sky TV, Australia. They were all highly articulate youngsters; two of them described Prince Edward as 'bubbly'; gotta say, for all my respect for him, i've never thought of using the adjective 'bubbly' for his personality. But then again, i've never actually met him either, and those three had. It was an excellent interview.
