Andrew Morton Prince Quotations

For a time during the 1980s the Royal Family were not just the most influential family in Britain but probably in Europe and Prince Charles specifically was very much like a defacto Cabinet member and what he said actually had impact on public policy.

The 1980s turned them into an international family thanks to the arrival of Diana and this bull's generation of young Royals - Prince Andrew, The Duchess of York and so on. And what happened was that they were rather like a stock, rather like IBM. Their stock went up and up and up and when the balloon burst their stock went plummeting to the ground.

Members of the Royal Family tend to, and Prince Edward particularly, tend to shade in and out of being ordinary people and royal people.
