I agree. I think that the RF have become more informal and its not jsut the younger generation who would have become less formal anyway, just through the changes that a generation and 20 years makes..Chubb,

If it was/is all so easy, according to some, why didn't the Queen or Duke tackle this cause? I've read that Charles said to someone a few years ago that when speaking to small children he gets down to their level, and told the person. "It was something Diana taught me you know." Only little things, but they make a difference.
After Di's death the Queen DID seem to be coming across more easy in her manner, trying to achieve soemthing of the more casual and friendly way that Diana had.. And I dont think it suited her. She had her own way, it might be a bit stiff but it suited HER.
But I think that in the wake of Di's death, they all tried to be more friendly and less stiff and "royal". With Charles I think he DID try and learn from Di - he came across as more warm and relaxed wth his boys, adn I think that his manner in public engagement has been less "up there" and rigid.
