    Winston ROCKS! Don't listen to individuals who lack an imaginative, sense of whimsy and good humor. They're old stick in the muds who people AVOID getting near at parties and fun events.

    Congratulations Darren and Winston on 300, 000 subs. I have been a sub and fan since the very first videos in 2020. Winston is loved by the majority of us, he's perfect just how he is. For all of our Brit friends , we pronounce Basil the way we go on this side of the pond because the English word comes from the Italian word Basilico.

    • @lowlifeuk999
      @lowlifeuk999 Рік тому +1

      Sure, Basilico is the Italian word which in turn comes from "Basileus" which was the Eastern Roman Emperor, or simply Emperor in Greek. It is really the King (Emperor) of all herbs!

    • @truthtriumphant
      @truthtriumphant Рік тому +1

      ⁠@@lowlifeuk999 Yes. Being of Greek heritage, Basil is a Greek word in origin meaning King or Emperor. There are quite a number of words in Italian as well as English that are Greek in origin.

I am going to bring the book over to my 91 year old mothers house and read it to her . She will love it. If sure was a pleasure to read thanks Darren for sharing your history with the royal family

  • @katyb2793
    @katyb2793 Рік тому +3

    I have 3 questions:
    1. Who serves the tea?
    Is it prepared first in the kitchen? Or can Royals prepare and pour it themselves?
    2. Do different royals have favourite plates, teacups, mugs etc they like to use? Or do they just use what is provided? (I'm assuming branded crockery at the least like Royal Doulton?)
    3. I've heard Princess Catherine of Wales cooks for her family herself. How does that work?
    For example, does she inform the staff of what groceries she'll need?
    Do the Royal chefs fill in when she's too busy?
    I really admire her for cooking for her own family!
    Thank you for all your hard work making these videos. I love the anecdotes about the Royal Family.
    You're always positive, respectful and kind. And Winston is a darling!

    Hello Darren,
    Are you going to be watching King Charles Coronation ?
    Can you possibly do a video on what to serve for breakfast, about 6am, when friends come together to eat.
    Planning on serving Buttery Crossants and Everything Crossants with a variety of different flavored cream cheeses, Fresh Fruit, and tea.
    Would love to do a Scottish Egg, but I am not sure.
    We love Winston.
