The late Queen was never short of one-liners, quick responses, and cheeky comments, and her wicked sense of humour allowed her to connect with members of the public throughout her long reign. But one of her most famous jokes wasn't very flattering to her eldest son, King Charles, when he welcomed his first son, Prince William, at St Mary's Hospital in London on June 21, 1982. While you would imagine that a grandmother would be full of nothing but joy at the new addition to her family, the late monarch couldn't help but pull a few jokes and poked fun at one family trait the new baby didn't appear to have inherited.

The expert continued: “She’s kept her head down, not made a fuss, worked hard and dedicated herself to good causes.”“Given the context, of course, the press has given her a free pass to the benefit of the doubt,” he said.Middleton, 41, announced earlier this year that she would be skipping William’s trip to New York City for the Earthshot Prize Summit in order to stay with George, 10, as he takes his school exams.James went on: “When she says she wants to miss Earthshot to focus on parenting, people trust that that is probably the case.”According to the publicist, the way that Middleton and her husband, 41, have handled estranged brother Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s recent attacks on them have earned them great respect from the public.The Invictus Games founder, 39, penned a series of scathing words about his sister-in-law in his memoir, “Spare,” that was published in January.In the book, Harry wrote about Middleton’s tense relationship with the “Suits” star, 42, including describing the bridesmaid dress fallout between the two women.An infamous incident allegedly occurred when the Duchess of Sussex claimed Middleton made her burst into tears just days before her nuptials at St George’s Chapel in 2018.Five years on, their apparently glacial relationship is still making headlines, and Markle believes that the mother of three and William still haven’t taken responsibility for their hostile actions.
