- 'Prince Edward had to explain WHO Prince Harry was!' | We profile the new Duke of Edinburgh at 60
As the royal family has evolved in recent years with the death of the Queen and Prince Philip and the departure of both Prince Andrew and Prince Harry, Prince Edward and his wife Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh are playing an increasingly important role in the family.
To celebrate Prince Edward’s 60th birthday, the Daily Mail’s Royal Editor Rebecca English tells us about the man now known as the Duke of Edinburgh. Rebecca recently spent the day with Edward, speaking to both friends of his and the man himself. She tells us how he sees his role, the importance of his immediate family, and what happened when a young fan asked him who Prince Harry was…

He's a bit of a sweetheart. Intelligent, low-key, and cares about what he's doing. Very Happy to get to see more of him. ❤
Edward and Sophie are a real asset but don't crave the limelight for their hard work
Like Princess Anne.
@@RussiaIsARiddle778my hero! I absolutely love her.
None of them did except Meghan
Tell us how you know their thoughts. Thought so.
@@irmaadams7780 correct, I don't know their thoughts. I didn't mention their thoughts, it's from their demeanour and actions one can clearly see they don't crave the limelight.
Edward and Sophie are doing a lot of good work. Interest in them is growing, as is their popularity.
Sophie has had more exposure so I'm really happy people are getting to know Edward as well. The late Queen adored Sophie & who can't love unassuming Edward. If only H had inherited some of those genes.
It is a shame the media focus on Judas and Jezebel and the absolute garbage they create!
Edward and Sophie havent been given near the recognition they deserve but none of them strive for attention except Meghan. She was work shy, wanted to be notced and paid for her time
It appears that Edward and Sophie are doing a lot of important work behind the scenes with not a lot of fanfare❤
Excellent program thank you very much❤
He and Sophie are jewels of the RF.
I hope that Prince Edward had a memorable milestone birthday. It's time to start highlighting what this amazing couple achieve throughout the year.
Thank you Rebecca for such a lovely profile on Prince Edward.
Love both Edward and Sophie as they are genuine, hardworking and drama free
Love Prince Edward and Sophie. They are so deserving of praise. Wonderful royal couple.
And wonderfull children
So under appreciated both Edward and his beautiful wife Sophie. They are as big a boon to the monarchy as the Prince and Princess of Wales...just extremely low key. Happy Birthday your Royal Highness.
Loved this post about prince Edward! As an American, I’m impressed by Edward, Sophie, Lady Louise and James, Earl of Wessex. They are good people and a big boom to the Royal Family. They more than make up for the whiney, selfish Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who should be totally barred from the Royal Family as they are too destructive and can’t be trusted. King Charles is fortunate to have the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh in the fold.
Lovely family!
Yes, Prince Edward & Princess Royal, Anne, couldn't have 2 better "wingmen" for King Charles.
Wishing Harry was that for his brother.
Not sure why KC is so soft -handed towards the Harkles; he had 70 yrs to learn he is a monarch first and above all and not a parent first of a middle aged, intellectually and educationally stunted man.
Well said!
@@AnonyMous-kd5iz: I fear you have missed the point entirely. The King, by his actions, has drawn a clear line between Harry as a blood member of his own family (which he will always be) and Harry as a integral part of the "working" Royal Family (which is the State side) and from which he has functionally and effectively removed him completely, bit by bit, and without any great drama. No HRH prefix, no residence on Crown property, no IPP status, no special 27/7 Security protection for him & family, requirement to give King 28 days notice of visiting the UK to have normal Met Police Royal Protection Officers, cut off from the Civil List, prohibited from ever wearing his military uniform, removal of Military patronages, removal of other RF based patronages...............and there will be more to come. Do you think Harry is a "happy bunny?"
Thank you for this lovely story of Edward. I think he is very under rated for everything he does.
It's nice to see Prince Edward coming into his own within the Royal Family, and the same of course with Sophie!
Who else thinks Sophie and Edward should get more recognition when at their royal engagements?
Edward looks so like his grandfather! He and William should be able to to put Britton back on the map,
I do
They don't want it. They don't need it. They're very genuine and confident without the outside acclaim. Good for them!
I do
I do❤🇬🇧
Edward and Sophie are the right kind of working royals, unfussy, get the job done types like princess Anne, very nice Sophie was able to pay that lovely tribute to him on his 60th birthday
Rebecca, thank you once again for a knowledgeable and quality article on the RF. Edward and Sophie don’t get enough praise.
Wonderful to hear you speak about Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburg. I agree Edward looks like his late Father and definitely has the same sense of Duty his Father carried! Wonderful speech given by Sophie to celebrate Edward's 60th Birthday. 💜🇨🇦
Happy 60th So glad that he and his wife are finally getting more recognition for all the hard work!!
Awe! I love Prince Edward more and more the more a learn about him! I so love both the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh❤️
He and Sophie seem like such lovely people.
The press should report way more on Edward and Sophie. They are amazing!!! ❤❤❤❤
DM EDWARD 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮👎👎👎👎👎OK
They are probably happy flying under the radar.😊
@@MargaritaSanchez-gu3rn what is your issues about Edward - to use endless emojis of vomiting is bizarre
@@tracy486Im ml no
I ran into Edward on the tube - we had a conversation about the book I was reading. I noticed that he drops his accent a bit when he is not on duty.
Absolutely love Rebecca. She has a wealth of knowledge and even though she is quite close to the RF, her attitude is truthful. She doesn’t pander to them.
I'd love to hear what she REALLY thinks of the shenanigans of The Markles. She's very diplomatic. 😉
Always professional, well balanced, objective and fair in her reporting . And such a genuine warmth and sincerity ….It’s no wonder she is entrusted with the ‘ inner sanctum’ access.
Compared to the tabloid style biased, mincing little dweeb ( RE ) she does a sterling job . His popularity is due to his puerile, gossipy hatred of H&M ( knows which side his bread is buttered ) whereas Rebecca would never sell-out purely for the sake of appealing to the viewers . Chalk and cheese journalism .
I appreciate her very much and don't want to seem rude, but her clothes are unflatteringly cut.
@@equatorialjourney4478
RE is a Very Personable and Intelligent Man and can be Caring and Funny and is Friend of Rebecca’s as they often Banter and get on with each other.
RE is Honest and Reliable and I don’t know why you would be
Bagging Him.
What has he done to you that you are so Unkind about him?
@@kerrywilliams.5342 Rebecca has to tolerate him & be polite ….. but, meh, it’s pretty obvious what she thinks
I could listen to Rebecca English speak for hours! Not only is she a compassionate and very knowledgeable expert on the Royal Family, but her voice and delivery is articulate & coherent . Thank you for the wonderful profile of Prince Edward!
❤❤ Happy Birthday Prince Edward -- Wishing you a very happy birthday and a long, healthy life! ❤❤
I just saw Edward and Sophie entering the cathedral for the Commonwealth service. These two are assets to the B.R.F. !!!
Happy Birthday, Prince Edward. With love..
Love the way Edward holds his hands behind his back like Prince Philip did
I wish the media would do more to report on the good work that Edward and Sophie do. We’ll done Rebecca for this report.
Happy birthday Prince Edward! The Duke & Dutchess of Edinburgh are positive role models and such great assets in the Royal Family ❤
*Duchess
I love Rebecca and how enthusiastic and lovely she is about the Royals. Enjoyed learning more about Prince Edward, 😀 He is wonderful asset to the Royal family and happy to hear he has such a warm devoted family.
God bless Edward, Duke of Edinburgh and you, Rebecca English, for your gift of reporting on your nation's royal family with such an enjoyable aptitude. You draw us in with such a friendly and respectful approach. It is an enjoyable time with you and getting to know members of the RF beyond the photo image in a publication. Thank you! ~West Virginia, USA.
I love them both and it's great to see them recognised.
Thanks Rebecca
This was such a nice surprise! I love Edward & Sophie! Both of them radiate positive vibes. You can see it in their smiles that match their eyes & when they are listening to whomever it is that is speaking to them, there is zero doubt that they are listening to every word & truly taking it all in. You can't fake a vibe, no matter how good of a an actor/actress you are. They aren't just showing up & shaking some hands for the cameras & bouncing. How do we know this? Because of how little press coverage their working engagements get. When their work brings them more attention than usual, we get a good indication of how they interact with their patronages. They have had a good chunk of their patronages for approx 2 decades, where they've quietly carried on their work for their charities for w/o much fanfare & very little publicity. Unlike those that will only perform charitable deeds if they can publicize them, while looking for an ass pat for each & every one of their charitable acts, whether it be a financial contribution to a cause or showing up to help deliver meals to the elderly, during a global pandemic, it's the Duke & Duchess of Edinburgh that are an accurate depiction of what philanthropy looks like in action.
Prince Edward and Duchess Sophie seem so hard working and lovely. They are a lovely couple with a lovely family.
When HMTQ became Queen she only had her husband, sister and mother to help. Her cousins helped later on but initially she was basically on her own age 26 with 2 small children
Well she did have an entire apparatus of courtiers to assist
@@Wee162who were not accustomed to having a woman in charge,much the same as many of her Prime Ministers.
Queen Elizabeth did not only break the proverbial glass ceiling, she smashed it and that is still difficult 70 years later.
Her aunt in law, Princess Marina Duchess of Kent helped. Her uncle and aunt in law, The then Duke and Duchess of Gloucester also helped.
@@richierich7229 yes that was good, but they didn't help out immediately
Nice to see this recognition for Edward & Sophie, Rebecca. Their warmth & humility are wonderful traits. Thanks! Blessings! Jackie in upstate NY
I loved the stories… Edward sounds like a great guy to be around with…
Happy birthday Prince Edward! The Edinburghs are really just kind, lovely, down-to-earth people getting on with their work. Hope to see more of them
Thank you for highlighting Prince Edward and Sophie.. they deserve massive coverages and spotlight (but not just for the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh but also to spread awareness about the organization and advocacies they have been so very supportive about) Thank you for giving this airtime for everyone to see how lovely both the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and their children. Lovely Family. Keep it coming!
It takes a patient and sincerely caring person to listen to everyday people that way that Edward apparently does. It may seem like a bit of fluff but, it lifts people up and lets them know that they are seen. The world needs more of this.
Really amazing episode about Prince Edward, who much deserves this extra attention! HRH is a lovely man, commited to his work and to his family and I am fully expecting Palace Confidential to be covering more the work of The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh from now on! Thanks a lot for this episode, Rebecca! It was really really good!
Thank you for putting the spotlight on Sophie and Edward. They deserve the recognition. The UK has a great asset in these two.
I wish I remembered where it occurred; I watched a speech from Prince Edward and he was a wonderful speaker.
Excellent profile of Prince Edward. So much to learn about him. I hope that the current situation with the King and Princess of Wales will encourage the media to highlight more of all the work both Edward and Sophie do. They are involved in so many good works that need more support and the media needs to spread their recognition around. Thank you for doing that on Prince Edward's birthday.
Massive respect for Edward and Sophie. The recent speech Sophie made in honour of his 60th brought a tear to my eye.
Loved this! Have so much respect and care for Edward...and Sophie! Thank you so much for highlighting jom!!!❤️
Happy 60th birthday to Prince Edward! Thank you so much for sharing all of this about Prince Edward! American here who really didn't know much about him and his beautiful family.
Always a big fan of Prince Edward and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh! They had a lovely wedding, I appreciated Prince Edwards royal documentaries, and I think his sincerity and enthusiasm just shines through. I love the no nonsense royals, including Princess Royal Anne, just getting on with the work, making it about the people, not self aggrandizement.
The more I saw of Diana's need to be the center of attention the more I loved and admired princess Anne!
I dont know how Harry thoughtMeghan would fit in with such lovely ladies. The late queen wanted Meghan to let Sophie take her around abd give her some more indepth lessns on how things work. protacols etc. ad she said know. Diana did and enjoyed it. She got on very well with the family
I dont remember seeing Diana that way. She was a lot younger than Meghan but she never trashed the family. The way Meghan has
The rest of us remember the interview where she said that Charles was not fit to be king!@@daylehudson6810
I don't believe that Sophie was even in the family yet when Diana first married.@@daylehudson6810
Prince Edward is wonderful!
I hope that Prince Edward's children become working Royals. Prince Edward and his beautiful wife are fabulous!
He is also a lover of history. Remember many years ago he produced documentary TV shows about royal places? I enjoyed the programs.
I wonder if these documentaries are still available. That would be enjoyable to watch. I remember King Charles presenting a documentary on the paintings in royal palaces and even went into the archives. Showed the personal sketching's, and paintings from many royals. That would be wonderful if someone could find that one too.
They all have been available here on UA-cam, as that's where I have watched them and keep looking for and finding more! What an excellent way to have used his position to teach the public about the British history of his ancestors and the people. I recall there was a time when the Prince wanted to be an actor, back in the late 1980's. Being a storyteller on film about British history and royalty is an outstanding way to have channelled his desire to act. 👍 🙂
Thanks, Rebecca English for this wonderful, nicely done and thoughtful profile of the "unsung" Prince Edward!
Great info on Edward. We don't see enough about him. Great respect for this man and the quiet effective way he goes about his responsibilities.
Great job of getting a sense of the man that quietly goes about his life. I admire the way Prince Edward & Sophie had raised Louise & James without any HRH tiles and how they seem to be so supportive of the King.
What a beautiful picture of Prince Edward in the black and gold robe! I think it’s wonderful to see Prince Edward and Sophie taking part in so many events. They are a lovely couple.🇨🇦
What a beautiful piece. Thank you so much, Rebecca English. Happy Birthday to the Duke of Edinburgh!
Lovely to hear and to know about more about Prince Edward. He and Sophie doesn't get enough credit for the work that they do within the Royal Family and in serving the public. Thank you Rebecca for highlighting Prince Edward's 60th birthday.
What a lovely surprise video to watch! LOVE Rebecca.
I really like the Duck of Edinburgh and always have. I'm glad he's glad he is getting the recognition he deserves.
Rebecca, great report on Edward, the Duke of Edinburgh. I loved that he sometimes takes The Tube to get to his royal engagements. He and Sophie are so down to earth, genuine, real, grounded, content and satisfied. I like them.
He is simply the best Royal. Down to earth amd not scared to come down a level or two , he has a humble family . Lots of love and blessings their way . From South Africa.
Thank you for this wonderful opportunity to learn more about the importance of the Duke of Edinburgh in our Royal Family. He and his wife have proven to be a jewel in the crown!
Happy Birthday Duke Edinburgh Edward! 🇬🇧👑🥳🎂
Wonderful! Prince Edward and the Duchess of Edinburgh are perfect to help the king and prince William
Thank you so much for shining the spotlight on the Duke of Edinburgh and the Dutchess!
I could stay and listening for hours, I like your professionalism and how you speak about the Royal family!!!
Thank you for the wonderful insight into Prince Edward! So fascinating!!!!!
Happy 60th Prince Edward. A lovely, genuine, caring man. Sophie is fabulous too. A brilliant team & loving couple. ❤
Thank you for this lovely summary! Edward does seem like Prince Phillip and the Princess Royal: he just gets on with his work
Fantastic , as always Rebecca, on Prince Edward ! Thank you ❤
Well done! This was a wonderful segment; I really appreciate both Edward and Sophie and all they do to support the monarchy. I find them a delightful couple and think they have done a marvelous jib raising their children.👍👍👍🇺🇸💖💖💖
First, I love and respect Rebecca's reporting, as I love all Palace Confidential productions!
After the late Queen Elizabeth's beautiful reign, I respect how perfectly organic the Royal Family is evolving!
Thanks, for your very special reporting!
Sophie and Edward do a wonderful job serving the monarch. Each have their patronages and responsibilities and do a great deal of traveling. Always a beautiful smile.
It’s so lovely to see Rebecca presenting her own segment on the Duke of Edinburgh, she is always a wealth of knowledge and is so clear and well presented! I wish you would utilise her more and maybe get Rebecca to present your regular content (palace confidential) on a Thursday when Jo Elvin is ever away. Sarah vine really grates on me, she constantly talks over the guests and i just cant wait to have Jo back when she’s away. Please consider Rebecca she is fab!
Thanks very much for this coverage
Love Prince Edward and the Duchess of Edinburgh, they are so lovely and such an asset to the Royal family.
I really like Prince Edward & Duchess Sophie, they seem so down to earth and friendly with no 'stiff upper lip' talk.
Happy Birthday Prince Edward :) He appears to be such a nice guy :) Nice is so highly underrated, it's one of the most important things a person could be :)
Prince Edward has done a few documentaries about historic buildings and places of interest in England. His presentation and delivery are on parr with Sir David Attenborough. Very well presented, clearly and eloquently spoken. Well done Edward.
I'm American and give this a 💯, I couldn't agree with this more!
Enjoyed this! More Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh please!
Well done
Thanks! Steady Eddie, i love it!
Great piece on Prince Edward, Rebecca. I love how you present your stories.
Love your reporting!!!
Thank you from USA
Many years ago I was introduced to Prince Edward when we were both involved with the Duke of Edinburgh award. Another year it was Prince Phillip who presented the awards, in Vancouver BC. It was a real pleasure to meet him.
Lovely profile. Thanks for sharing that with us.
Great coverage! Thank you! ❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏
Ohh my gosh this is fantastic!!! Super job Rebecca!!!
Great content. Rebecca is always one to give accurate insight on The Royal family. I respect her approach and sharing of information and enjoy her interviews very much.
The interest and recognition is well deserved. They are hard working and dignified.
The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh are a class act, quiet dignity. Sophie’s birthday tribute was lovely. Cheers from the PNW.
Prince Edward and Sophie are great, sadly also underappreciated. Tap in other younger members of RF to be working Royals. Just never, ever allow Harry and Meghan back.
Yes indeed I totally agree with you. I personally think Harry is very dangerous, he is very jealous and please Britain 🇬🇧 protect the Royal Family.
Well the king saw Harry for a mere 5 minutes at Clarence House. Harrycwas not allowed to utter a word but was told to keep quiet and to listen. Both the King and Prince William made it clear that Harry will not be welcomed back as a working royal
Harry still has the patronage of Invictus despite his using millions from Invictus to cover private jets to the UK. Meghan's spent up to $300,000 of Invictus funding on her "work wardrobes" when the standard at adaptive sports events is to wear the event shirt with casual bottoms like Catherine, Mike, and Zara do.
I agree!
I think they are truly appreciated.
They deserve all the compliments they get.
MEGHAN is like any other human being a perfect person. The media portrayed her in such negative ways that has strongly influenced the perception of her by the general public.
Loved this Rebecca. Thank you for sharing this, it was very special and beautifully done.
Well, done! These two are doing such good work continuing and picking up the slack while the royal family is getting medical attention and recouping, so that they can go back to their duties that I am just elated that you took the time to talk about Prince Edward & Sophia. To shine the light on him, I’m sure over in the UK that the citizens over there don’t forget about them because they probably seeing him here more of them than we do here on the other side of the pond in the US. But I love hearing the stories and the background of the royal family, their cousins not just the king and queen. The history of it all is prettiest astonishing! So I thank you for sharing the information that you do the history that you do! Makes me want to come visit the UK even more than what I already do just so I can see an experience the historyupfront and personal and close. Again thank you for sharing you did Prince Edwards 60th birthday justice.
Edward is a credit to the family,❤😊
I loved his programs on castles and English history.
It's so nice to learn more about Prince Edward. He sounds so refreshing and kind.
This was a delightful broadcast. Thank you very much👍👏👏👏. Wishing Prince Edward a wonderful birthday. 🎂🎁🥳🎉Duchess Sophie is such a natural beauty & genuinely kind person.❤😊
Always enjoy when y'all let us know what Prince Edward, Princess Anne & their delighful families are doing. They do so much for the UK, it's past time that they were given more credit & coverage👏👏👏👏💖💖💖💖. King Charles is very lucky to have such supportive hard working Siblings & their Families💝
Having supportive, hard-working siblings IS a parenting job well done.... A+ Queen Elizabeth & Prince Phillip!
Rebecca is such a good storyteller
Love her gentle and sweet personality! ❤
What a delightful article. Thank you Rebecca. In all honesty I admire the way the Duke and Duchess conduct themselves in public in much the same way as her late Majesty, rather than the seemingly more popular trend of “let’s see how many hands we can shake today”. What a pity the word decorum seems to no longer be in the royal dictionary.
I love listening to your calm voice, your explanations and how fair you are.
Thanks for this interesting and enjoyable video.
