Yes the British Royal family does do things together but you need to remember they are British they do not all ways show there affection the way most people do.

He seems to have a wonderful relationship with Anne but I think like many older siblings (there is a big age difference) he is perhaps a little distant from Edward. I should imagine when they all get together in private, (not occasions the public would be privy to), they are just like many families.

I was just wondereing what people around here have seen, noticed, read, or heard about Williams relationships with his family of the British Royal Family. I am not talking about his father, brother, or mother. I am talking about other family such as:

The Queen, Prince Phillip, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward (and Sophie), Princess Anne, The Queen Mother, Princess Alice, Princess Alexandra, his cousins (Peter, Zara, Beatrice, Eugenie, Louise, and James), and others like the Glouchesters, Kents, Prince Michael and family, Viscount Linley and family, the Lascelles, and the Harewoods.

Just wondering what all you people thought

Prince Andrew mentioned in an interview about talking to William about flying. So there seems to be some rapport there.

I read a story in a newspaper that William used to look up to Peter Phillips because he thought he was cool, with a leather jacked and rode a motorcycle. I also read that he got on really well with Zara. I don't remember where I read it, though.

Ive read that in books also Viscount Linley

I remember reading awhile back about Charles getting very angry at Edward because his film company was filming William at school or something. I wonder if William got angry about it too and still holds a grudge because I never see pictures of him interacting with Edward or Sophie when the family is together (Trooping Color, church service, etc.). Does anyone know?

Mermaid1962 · #48 07-13-2009, 12:06 AM

The film was gone through, and there was no footage of William on it. The company was filming footage around St. Andrews, but not William specificially.

Then I wonder why Charles reportedly got so angry with Edward.

..... because the filming was against the deal struck with the media at large, and considered an invasion of W's privacy.

Mermaid1962 · #51 07-14-2009, 01:23 PM

Wasn't the deal, though, not to film William? What if a documentary maker wanted to do some film in St. Andrews that had absolutely nothing to do with William? St. Andrews must have some interesting points besides the fact that William went to university there.

Here's an old article about it; I'd read too that he was mad at the time, but I doubt he'd still be angry- it was a long time ago.

Edward's company denies filming Prince William - Telegraph

Anger as Edward's crew films William's university - Media, News - The Independent

Prince Edward's Film Plans Anger Charles - ABC News

Here's what the film he took turned into - it was supposedly shown outside of England, but I never saw it.

Yeah at the time, I heard William was angry. But he should be over it now, I have seen pictures and video of Prince William talking and laughing with Edward and Sophie. I think there was video of William talking with Edward and Sophie at the 2008 Sandringham walk to church.

Posts relating to the Earl of Harewood etc have been moved to the Lascelles Family thread.

I guess I missed that video. I'm glad he gets along with them as Edward & Sophie seem like nice people.

king of scotland · #56 07-15-2009, 10:00 PM

Yeah they seem nice, especially Sophie. I am sure they are good now.

I think William and Anne have a good relationship, as everytime they are seen together they are talking and laughing, and obviously Peter, Zara, Harry, and William are all great together. I recently read a book about Prince William where he talked about going to Gatcombe when he was at Highgrove to ride horses with her, also there was an interview in there with a man who was escort at a Welsh rugby game with Charles, William, and Tim Laurence and the guy said William and Time spent most of the game talking with each other.

It's nice to think that the Queen's children are close, and I'd bet that the age difference isn't as big a deal now that everyone's older. Imagine what it must be like after one of those state dinners with just the 4 of them sitting around the table having a chat about anything and everything! I'd love to know what they all thought of the movie "The Queen"! Did the family have a private screening?!!

Claire · #58 08-09-2009, 11:02 AM

The Queen made the decision not to watch it and as the Duke of Edinburgh, Sophie and Edward make up the video nights at the palace. I fell they would have followed suit. However one of the four recent requested the new Borat movie, so maybe not.
The other royals might have.

Ella Kay · #59 08-09-2009, 11:56 AM

I love this photo of Charles and Zara hugging it out at Royal Ascot last year (scroll down). Charles looks so taken aback!

The only article I can find that gives any mention of HM & the film The Queen, is the Telegraph, that says Martin Sheen -

Quote:

hinted that the monarch and the former prime minister had decided it would be indelicate for either of them to see it

I can find nothing to suggest that Edward & Sophie are the only guests at any viewing of DVDs at Windsor or Balmoral, nothing also to corroborate a request for Borat.
