I wonder which one of the royal who doesn't smoke anymore, used to smoked once. I read about a couple of them but cound't find any proof.

Was that supposed to be a free add ?
BTW, hasn't William quit ? He hasn't been seen smoking in public for many years now, I suppose.

Now that's what I call spotting a *hot* man when you're out and about.

 Just a thought and I'm too tired to go back and look, but I don't think there are any photos of Harry smoking at Tom's wedding.

Most royals (and celebs) try not to be seen smoking in public.
It's a no-no these days.

Hi everyone. My first post here.
I read in one of the recent articles about the Inskip wedding that Harry was privately smoking a cigarette at some point, but not during his friend's wedding gathering. If it's true that Harry smokes, I'm sad to hear it as it's very unhealthy. If it's true, I hope that Meghan might be able to encourage Harry to eventually give up the habit. I personally could not put up with it myself in an intimate partner, as I'm very allergic to cigarette smoke.
Apparently Michelle Obama loved Barack Obama enough to put up with it for quite awhile, until as Prez Obama, he eventually quit. I believe it was reported that Mrs. Obama laid down the law about Prez Obama not smoking in the house or around their daughters.
High profile people, such as members of the Royal Family, likely try to avoid smoking in public.

 Usually those sorts of sources have a photo of the "smoking gun" or, more correctly, smoking cigarette. I was intrigued to see no sign of cigarettes or ashtrays later on in the evening when people were socialising, dancing and drinking which is of course, when people light up.

Good for the Queen insisting on Prince Phillip giving up smoking before they married. Otherwise I doubt very much he would have made it so far. You only have to look at the Queen's father and sister (and uncle the Duke of Windsor) so see why she was right. I know there are incidents of 100-year-olds who smoked like chimneys, but in general it does shorten lifespan, in some cases considerably. It's not the normal way of things that your sister dies before your mother.

What a woman! It takes a real woman indeed to "insist" a man like Philip do anything, and that man to do it!  (Ah, more proof, as if we needed it, of their devotion to each other!)

Did the Queen insist though, or was it Philip himself who gave up, and a legand's grown that it was the Queen who insisted? Incidentally, Philip's mother Princess Alice, had a very heavy smoking habit. I think Anne once remarked that you could tell when she was coming along the corridors of BP by the clouds of cigarette smoke that preceded her.

I dobut it,. I have never heard of this, (or indeed anything about Philip smoking). But I'm pretty sure that the queen would not insist unless there was a health reason.

I wouldn't put too much stock in that statement either considering that back around 1947 when Elizabeth and Philip married, doctors were still telling women to take up smoking to relax and aid in losing weight. The health concerns from smoking are no where near what they are today.
