00:00We tend to like the pretty much the same music, yeah.
00:02These twos, you play this stuff and I'm sitting there going...
00:06Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks
00:09for the most delightfully unscripted moments from Britain's most famous family.
00:13By the way, you'll be careful what you're saying now, because these guys, they're filming...
00:15I know!
00:19Number 30, Mike Tindall's Festival Zinger.
00:22Not every memorable royal family moment comes from a balcony,
00:26a banquet, or a carefully staged photo call.
00:28At the Hay Literary Festival in May 2026,
00:32Mike Tindall appeared with his The Good, The Bad, and The Rugby co-hosts
00:36James Haskell and Alex Payne,
00:37where the conversation turned to his 2011 wedding to Princess Anne's daughter Zara Tindall.
00:42Oh, it's always nice.
00:43It's nice, isn't it?
00:45I mean, that is as bath as you can get, and it's lovely, with a lovely plaque, a lovely cap.
00:51While teasing Haskell about not embarrassing himself at the event,
00:55Mike joked that others had managed that better,
00:57including Harry, quote,
00:59coming from someone who's both a royal insider and a personality in his own right,
01:04this joke came across as the kind of ribbing that brings a relatable and unpretentious feel
01:08to the often stiff royal image.
01:10I'm at the bottom of a rug, semi-drowning.
01:13I'm like, I wouldn't play in the rain when I was paid to do it.
01:16What am I doing now, like, when I'm volunteered?
01:18Number 29.
01:20Trying to roast a chicken
01:21Royal engagement stories usually come polished to a mirror shine,
01:25but this one arrived with oven mitts.
01:27In their 2017 BBC interview,
01:30Prince Harry and Meghan Markle explained that he proposed to her during a quiet night at their cottage.
01:35Meghan described the scene as them, quote,
01:37just roasting chicken, only for Harry to quickly clarify that they were, quote,
01:41trying to roast a chicken.
01:42It's a standard, typical night for us.
01:45It's a cozy night.
01:46What am I doing?
01:47Just roasting chicken and having...
01:48Roasting a chicken.
01:49Trying to roast a chicken.
01:50Trying to roast a chicken.
01:51That tiny correction made the story feel even more charming,
01:54romantic, domestic, and lightly chaotic in the most human way.
01:58Meghan said he got down on one knee,
02:00while Harry joked that she said yes so quickly,
02:03he still had to remind her about the ring.
02:05As a matter of fact, I could barely let you finish proposing.
02:07I was like, can I say yes now?
02:08She didn't even let me finish.
02:09She said, can I say yes or can I say yes now?
02:11And then there was hugs and I had the ring in my finger.
02:13And I was like, can I give you the ring?
02:15And she goes, oh, yes, the ring.
02:16Number 28.
02:17Kate's Posters.
02:18Before her fairy tale wedding to Prince William,
02:21Catherine had a very funny rumor to clear up.
02:23In the couple's 2010 engagement interview with ITV's Tom Bradby,
02:27they addressed the story that Kate had once kept a picture of William on her wall.
02:31William leaned into the idea immediately,
02:33joking that there wasn't just one.
02:35There were, quote, 10, 20.
02:37There's a story that goes around that you had a picture of him on your wall as a child.
02:44It wasn't just one, there was like 10, 20.
02:45He wishes, no.
02:46Kate shut that down with perfect timing,
02:49saying she actually had the Levi's guy on her wall, not William.
02:52It was a tiny exchange,
02:54but it showed how easily they could tease each other in public.
02:56No, I had the Levi's, Levi's guy on my wall, not a picture of William.
03:02Sorry.
03:03Sorry.
03:04It was me and Levi's, honestly.
03:06Number 27.
03:07The Royal Video Bomb.
03:08Live reporting around the royals can be nerve-wracking enough
03:12without the Duke of Edinburgh quietly turning into your surprise co-star.
03:16ITV's Romilly Weeks was filming a piece to camera
03:18about Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip's diamond wedding anniversary celebrations in 2007,
03:23when Philip stopped right behind her.
03:25The Duke himself who decided that they should spend the actual day of their anniversary on Malta
03:30for this very private of public couples.
03:33Quite a romantic gesture.
03:35Weeks later said she had, quote,
03:36no idea he was there until her cameraman started gesturing wildly.
03:40When she finally turned around,
03:42Philip was right on her shoulder,
03:44smiling and asking if she'd finished.
03:46Her startled reaction made the moment even more memorable.
03:50Finished?
03:54Number 26.
03:55The Queen's Clapback.
03:57A state dinner is usually where everyone keeps things polished,
04:00formal and very carefully worded.
04:02However, Queen Elizabeth II slipped in a perfectly timed joke
04:06during a 2015 Commonwealth event in Malta.
04:09After Justin Trudeau, then Canada's Prime Minister,
04:12praised her decades of public service,
04:14she responded by thanking him for making her, quote,
04:17feel so old.
04:18Canada's Justin Trudeau reminded her
04:21that he was the country's 12th Prime Minister
04:23to serve during her reign.
04:26Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister of Canada,
04:29for making me feel so old.
04:32This subtle comeback was met with laughter,
04:35showing just how effortlessly the Queen could command a room.
04:38It was a small reminder that even the most formal royal moments
04:41had space for humor and charm.
04:42I'm incredibly fortunate enough to have known her directly for many years.
04:48But everyone knew her because she was the person that she was in public.
04:57Number 25.
04:58William and Kate's Paint Job.
05:00Some couples flirt with compliments.
05:02These two seem to prefer a bit of cheeky teasing instead.
05:04At the Global Ministerial Mental Health Summit in 2018,
05:09Prince William and Kate Middleton were invited to add brushstrokes
05:12to artist Dido Vargas' painting Someone to Turn To.
05:14And mental health has now, at last,
05:16moved into the mainstream as part of our daily lives.
05:20However, the work isn't done yet,
05:23and we cannot afford to stop here.
05:25William first nudged Kate forward by calling her, quote,
05:28the arty one,
05:28which made sense since she studied art history at St. Andrews.
05:32After she added her mark,
05:33he joked that she had, quote,
05:35pretty much ruined the picture.
05:37Then, brush in hand,
05:38he turned the joke on himself,
05:40saying he would, quote,
05:41properly ruin it too.
05:42It's pretty much ruined the picture.
05:47This is how you probably ruin a picture.
05:49Number 24.
05:51Meghan's Car Protocol Panic.
05:52Barely a month after her royal wedding,
05:55the Duchess of Sussex was still learning
05:57the world's most intimidating workplace handbook.
05:59It was a post-apocalypse theme,
06:02so we had all of this very bizarre costuming on,
06:06and we were able to just sort of have one final fun night out.
06:11During an outing with Queen Elizabeth II in Cheshire in June 2018,
06:16Meghan reportedly had a small moment of uncertainty
06:18as the two approached their waiting car.
06:20Unsure who should get in first,
06:22Meghan appeared to ask the Queen, quote,
06:24what is your preference?
06:25and she smoothly replied, quote,
06:28you go first.
06:29Meghan's quick, oh, okay,
06:31made the exchange feel sweetly human rather than awkward.
06:34For once,
06:35the most relatable part of royal life
06:36was simply figuring out carpool etiquette.
06:46Number 23.
06:48William's Fridge has had enough.
06:50You all play polo together?
06:51Team High Grove?
06:52Used to.
06:53Used to play polo together.
06:55He's decided that the pressure of playing with his two
06:57sounds as too much.
06:58We're too good for him now.
06:59Gotta give in somewhere.
07:01Even royal brothers apparently have leftover related grievances.
07:05After Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced their engagement
07:07in November 2017,
07:09Prince William was asked about the happy news
07:11during a visit to Finland.
07:12He warmly said he was delighted for the couple,
07:15but then unexpectedly,
07:16his answer pivoted into pure sibling comedy.
07:19He joked that for him personally,
07:21he hoped the engagement meant Harry would stay out of his fridge
07:24and stop, quote,
07:25scrounging his food,
07:26which he said had been happening for years.
07:29Forget royal protocol.
07:30This was universally relatable older brother energy.
07:33Wishing them all the happiness in this very exciting time.
07:36And for me personally,
07:37I hope it means he stays out of my fridge.
07:39It's not been scrounging off all my food
07:41he's done over the last few years.
07:42Number 22.
07:43Harry's bus ride gets bleeped.
07:45Royal interviews are usually carefully controlled,
07:48but this one came with tea,
07:50a moving bus,
07:51and one very well-timed bleep.
07:53In the 2021 Late Late Show segment,
07:56An Afternoon with Prince Harry and James Corden,
07:58the Duke of Sussex joined Corden
08:00for a loose tour around Los Angeles.
08:02Here we go.
08:03A little slice of home, huh?
08:06Can I interest you in a tea?
08:10Yeah, I'd love one.
08:11There you go.
08:12During a hilarious afternoon tea setup on the open-top bus,
08:15the vehicle suddenly lurched,
08:17sending the table into chaos.
08:19Harry reacted with a curse word,
08:20which the show bleeped out.
08:22Between the rattling teacups,
08:23Harry's startled reaction,
08:25and Corden trying to keep the bit together,
08:27the scene felt delightfully candid for a prince.
08:29I guess tea number four or five's not a good idea.
08:37Clean it up, Harry!
08:39Number 21.
08:40Heavy is the crown.
08:41Queen Elizabeth II once revealed
08:43that royal sparkle could be surprisingly hard on the neck.
08:47In the 2018 BBC documentary The Coronation,
08:50she discussed the imperial state crown
08:52and explained that wearing it came with one major practical issue.
08:55It was seriously heavy.
08:57She joked that while wearing it,
08:59looking down to read a speech wasn't an option.
09:02It had to be lifted toward her.
09:04No difficulties like the Archbishop?
09:05No.
09:06Lord Great Chamberlain has to hand it properly.
09:09Which way round does he hand it to you?
09:11Well, he hands it that way, you see.
09:13This humorous admission gave the public
09:15a glimpse of Her Majesty's charming wit
09:17and her ability to poke fun at the very symbols of her power.
09:20It's the kind of candid royal humor
09:22that's both surprising and utterly endearing.
09:25Quite heavy.
09:26Comfortable, ma'am?
09:27No.
09:31Nothing like that is comfortable.
09:34Number 20.
09:34Philip's Humor.
09:36Just like his wife,
09:37Philip was incredibly witty.
09:39Many of his remarks were extremely offensive,
09:42but a lot were straight-up hilarious.
09:44The world's most experienced pluck I made.
09:48This ranged from him getting sassy
09:50when he wasn't recognized
09:51to roasting French breakfast.
09:53A couple of times,
09:54he even got on Elton John's case.
09:56During a performance in 2001,
09:59Philip hoped John would, quote,
10:00turn his mic off.
10:01He also ripped into John's car
10:03while he was living near Windsor Castle.
10:05And when chatting to Cate Blanchett,
10:07he asked her to fix his DVD player
10:09because she worked in the film industry.
10:12Utterly priceless.
10:13Another celebrity he got on the wrong side of
10:15was Chef Rick Stein,
10:17with Philip flat-out refusing to try his fish.
10:19It's been years since he passed away,
10:21but his dry humor will be remembered for centuries.
10:24I'm sorry to keep you standing there.
10:28I can't stand up much for it.
10:30Number 19.
10:31Diana's Bottle Breaking.
10:33Diana and Charles' relationship
10:34was full of ups and downs,
10:36to put it mildly.
10:37And I suppose in love.
10:39Of course.
10:41Whatever in love means.
10:42They married in 1981,
10:44then stayed together until 1996.
10:47Five years into the relationship,
10:49things seemed to sour so much,
10:50Diana resorted to violence,
10:52smashing a bottle over Charles' head.
10:54So the princess was invited
10:56to choose her target.
11:03Just kidding.
11:05Despite how it looks,
11:06it was just a playful stunt.
11:07It was a sugar bottle,
11:09intended for safely smashing glass
11:11for movie stunts.
11:12So it was all fun and games,
11:14but observer Thomas Wheatley later said,
11:16looking back on it,
11:17she probably did it
11:18with considerable enthusiasm.
11:22Number 18.
11:23Christmas Pudding.
11:24Prince William's eldest son,
11:26George,
11:26is second in line to the throne.
11:28Prince George of Cambridge,
11:30William and Kate's firstborn
11:31and future king.
11:33Despite his importance,
11:34he is still a child
11:35and has a lot of maturing to do.
11:38Occasionally,
11:39his father manages
11:39to get him off Fortnite,
11:41like in 2019,
11:42when George joined his family
11:43to bake some pudding.
11:44The little prince decided
11:46to use a rather unorthodox
11:47stirring technique,
11:48which was basically
11:49stabbing the mix.
11:50As soon as the queen saw,
11:52she had to step away,
11:54being scared of getting
11:55caught in the crossfire.
11:56Thankfully,
11:57kings are not required
11:58to be talented bakers.
12:00Number 17.
12:01Wimbledon Reactions.
12:02Look at George,
12:04holding the trophy
12:05and his mother watching the top
12:07so it doesn't fall off.
12:10Ah, now.
12:11There's a shot.
12:12It's common knowledge
12:13that the royals love
12:14a spot of tennis.
12:15Kate Middleton
12:15is so fond of Wimbledon,
12:17she's been going long
12:18before she became a royal.
12:27This has resulted
12:28in quite a few
12:29hilarious reaction shots
12:30of the princess.
12:31When George joined her
12:33in 2022,
12:34he revealed he had
12:35inherited this trait
12:36from his mother.
12:37He could have also been reacting
12:39to the player's foul language.
12:40It seems to run in the family,
12:42with Diana, Elizabeth,
12:44Camilla, William,
12:45and even Charles
12:46having hilarious reactions
12:47to sports.
12:48It's possibly more fun
12:50to watch the royals
12:51watching sports
12:51than it is to watch
12:52the sports themselves.
13:00Number 16.
13:01Brotherly banter.
13:03It's easy to forget
13:04that William and Harry
13:05are brothers these days.
13:06Harry, you're an Arsenal fan,
13:08if I'm correct.
13:10It's true.
13:11It's not supposed to be.
13:12After Megxit,
13:13the pair fell out completely.
13:15It wasn't always the case.
13:16When they were younger,
13:18the two shared loads
13:19of wholesome moments together.
13:20Baldness, sorry?
13:21When did you find a solo?
13:22It was baldness, no.
13:24No, no, it's pretty rich
13:26coming from a ginger,
13:27so I'm quite happy
13:28to get that moment's fight.
13:30When they were children,
13:31the pair would wear
13:32matching outfits
13:33and play polo together.
13:35William also taught
13:36his baby brother
13:36how to play the piano,
13:38then later supported him
13:39on his first day of school.
13:40According to them,
13:41losing their mother
13:42helped create
13:43a strong bond
13:44between the two.
13:45Hopefully the pair
13:46will become buddies
13:46again someday,
13:47and we'll get loads
13:48more witty banter from them.
13:50We're brothers.
13:51We'll always be brothers.
13:52We're certainly
13:52on different paths
13:53at the moment,
13:54but I will always be there
13:55for him,
13:55and as I know,
13:55he'll always be there
13:56for me.
13:57Number 15.
13:57The Queen's Cake
13:59In 2022,
14:00Britain began celebrating
14:02Elizabeth II's
14:03Platinum Jubilee,
14:04commemorating 70 years
14:05of service.
14:06This is the moment
14:08when London,
14:10when the UK,
14:11when the Commonwealth
14:14says thank you
14:15to Her Majesty.
14:17This made her
14:17the second longest
14:18reigning monarch
14:19in history
14:20after France's
14:20son King,
14:21Louis XIV.
14:22It was also
14:23the first time
14:24a British monarch
14:25had hit the milestone.
14:26As such,
14:27a grand cake
14:28was needed
14:28for the occasion.
14:29Of course,
14:30Her Majesty
14:31got the honor
14:32of cutting the cake first.
14:34Hilariously,
14:34she quipped that
14:35the cake was
14:36more important than her.
14:37I thought it had
14:38to be upside down
14:39for the press.
14:39As he considered.
14:41I don't know.
14:42I don't matter.
14:45I think I probably
14:46read it upside down too.
14:48I think it probably
14:48can.
14:49After,
14:49the Queen makes
14:50half an attempt
14:51to cut a slice.
14:52For anyone else,
14:53that would be
14:53a poor attempt,
14:54but since she's
14:55the Queen,
14:55everybody applauds.
14:57Oh yes,
14:58it goes in beautifully.
14:59Beautifully.
15:01Somebody else
15:01can finish it off.
15:03Do the rest of it.
15:05Well done.
15:07Go on,
15:08have a look.
15:10Number 14.
15:11Harry's Beard
15:12Before Megxit,
15:13Harry and Meghan
15:14would frequently
15:14go on royal visits.
15:16These often brought
15:17them into contact
15:17with children,
15:18many of whom
15:19were enamored
15:20by Harry's facial hair.
15:25It happened
15:26more than once,
15:27making us wonder
15:28if he secretly
15:29fills his beard
15:29with candy.
15:30Every one of these
15:31interactions is adorable,
15:33showing that Archie
15:33and Lilibet
15:34must be incredibly
15:35lucky children.
15:40It must run
15:41in the family,
15:42since the Queen
15:43always got along
15:43great with kids.
15:45Thankfully,
15:45no grown-ups
15:46have tried
15:46snatching his beard.
15:47If Harry's not
15:49interested,
15:49it could potentially
15:50be a very menial
15:51form of treason.
15:56Number 13.
15:58Weatherman Charles
15:59Charles II
16:00was a man
16:00who loved to party,
16:02earning him the title
16:03the Merry Monarch.
16:04Charles III,
16:05on the other hand,
16:06could become known
16:07as the King of Weather.
16:08I'm delighted to say
16:09we've got a new member
16:10of our weather team tonight.
16:12Let me hand over
16:13to him now.
16:13Your highness.
16:16Well,
16:16it's an unsettled picture
16:17as we head towards
16:18the end of the week.
16:19This is because
16:20in 2012,
16:21he hilariously appeared
16:22on BBC Scotland
16:23to do a weather forecast.
16:25His delivery was on point,
16:27but halfway through,
16:28he complains about his lines.
16:29The potential
16:30for a few flurries
16:31over Balmoral.
16:32Who the hell
16:32wrote this script?
16:33As the afternoon goes on.
16:35Maybe his majesty
16:36would have done
16:36a lot better
16:37if it was all improvised.
16:39Unfortunately,
16:40he didn't take up
16:40weather forecasting
16:41full-time.
16:42If he had,
16:43BBC Scotland's
16:44weather segments
16:44would be getting
16:45tons more views.
16:46Where it could lead
16:47to difficult conditions
16:48on the roads.
16:50In the west,
16:51rain will be lighter
16:52and patchier.
16:53There will be a few
16:54drier interludes
16:55over Dumfries' house
16:56in Ayrshire.
16:57Aha!
16:58Number 12.
16:59Feeding time.
17:00It's commonly known
17:01that the queen
17:01loved animals.
17:02From a young age,
17:04she adored
17:04all types of animals.
17:06It seems the love
17:07and loyalty
17:07between queen
17:08and corgi remains.
17:10From young princess
17:11to longest reigning monarch,
17:13her corgis
17:14have been
17:14constant companions.
17:15Eventually,
17:16she became
17:17particularly fond
17:18of corgis,
17:19which she had
17:20more than 30 of
17:21in her life.
17:21At one point,
17:22she owned 11 dogs
17:24in total,
17:24alongside tortoises,
17:26ponies,
17:27a sloth,
17:27two jaguars
17:28and even an elephant.
17:37Once,
17:38she and Philip
17:39got the opportunity
17:39to feed an elephant
17:41at Whipsnade Zoo.
17:42The queen showed
17:43absolutely no hesitation,
17:44likely from her
17:45connection to animals.
17:47Philip,
17:47on the other hand,
17:48did not show
17:49the same level of cool.
17:50It was just one
17:51of those occasions
17:52when Prince Philip
17:53has kept his thoughts
17:54to himself.
17:55Number 11.
17:56Queen driving
17:57a Saudi prince.
17:58Being the longest
17:59reigning monarch
18:00wasn't the only service
18:01Elizabeth II did
18:02for her country.
18:03Within just a year
18:03of turning 18,
18:05Elizabeth would sign up
18:06for service.
18:07It was an unprecedented
18:08decision.
18:09This would make her
18:10the first woman
18:10in the royal family
18:12to become a full-time
18:13member of the
18:13armed services.
18:14She joined the
18:15Auxiliary Territorial
18:17Service in World War II,
18:18becoming a skilled
18:19mechanic and driver.
18:20She once showed off
18:22these talents
18:22to a Saudi prince,
18:24taking him for a spin
18:25around the Balmoral Hotel.
18:26At the time,
18:27it was illegal
18:28for a woman to drive
18:29in Saudi Arabia.
18:30Although she did once
18:31reportedly make a point
18:33to King Abdullah
18:34by taking to the wheel
18:35to drive him
18:36round the Balmoral estate.
18:37As such,
18:38the prince was
18:39beyond shocked,
18:40especially since
18:41she was talking
18:42the whole time.
18:43The prince hilariously
18:44had his interpreter
18:45tell her to slow down,
18:46scared the military
18:47didn't teach her
18:48how to properly drive.
18:49Photographers captured
18:50her dressed in overalls
18:51and working on vehicle
18:52engines and changing
18:53tires,
18:54and the press even
18:55named her
18:56Princess Auto Mechanic.
18:57Number 10.
18:58Royal Tongues
18:59Prince Harry was a bit
19:00of a mischievous
19:01jokester growing up,
19:02and his personality
19:03was displayed early on.
19:05He was notably seen
19:06cheekily sticking
19:07his tongue out
19:07while riding in a car
19:08with his mother
19:09Princess Diana,
19:10who put a stop
19:11to his antics.
19:12Decades later,
19:13Harry continues
19:14to slip his tongue out,
19:15demonstrating he's
19:16still that child at heart.
19:17The goofy jester
19:18seems to run
19:19in the family too.
19:20His niece and nephews,
19:21Princess Charlotte,
19:22Prince George,
19:23and Prince Louis
19:23have all also
19:24been caught in the act.
19:25We got major deja vu
19:27when Charlotte
19:27stuck her tongue out
19:28at cameras
19:29and was pulled away
19:29by her mom.
19:30It was an equally
19:31hilarious and adorable
19:33scene,
19:33reminiscent of Harry
19:34and Diana
19:35way back when.
19:35Number 9.
19:37Charles Dancing
19:38A royal prince
19:39breakdancing
19:40might sound oxymoronic,
19:42but video footage
19:43of Prince Charles
19:43proves otherwise.
19:45At a 1985 event,
19:47he was encouraged
19:47to join a group
19:48of surrounding
19:48breakdancers.
19:49Though seemingly
19:50uncomfortable at first,
19:52Charles ended up
19:52pulling out
19:53some surprisingly
19:54impressive moves.
20:02Showcasing his talents
20:03further,
20:04the prince participated
20:05in a choreographed
20:06Hokey Cokey dance
20:07during a Sri Lanka trip.
20:15But Charles isn't
20:16the only family member
20:17who knows how to get down.
20:18The Duke and Duchess
20:20of Cambridge
20:20boogied in Tuvalu,
20:22Harry did some partner
20:23and solo work in Jamaica,
20:24and Kate shared a comical
20:26dance with Paddington Bear.
20:27Though routinely reserved,
20:29the royals do know
20:30how to let loose.
20:41Number 8.
20:42Diana Ski Fail
20:43Princess Diana
20:45and her fourth cousin
20:46turned sister-in-law,
20:47Sarah Ferguson,
20:47didn't always have
20:48a picture-perfect relationship.
20:50But the two built
20:51a solid friendship
20:52that included
20:52vacationing together.
20:53And if they expected
20:55a quiet rest,
20:56they were out of luck.
20:57Even a trip to the shops
20:58is a major event.
21:00During one Swiss trip,
21:01the pair made their way
21:02down a ski slope,
21:03but Diana was unable
21:04to stick the landing.
21:06After taking a tumble,
21:07Sarah skied over
21:08to check on her friend,
21:09and they of course
21:10shared a laugh
21:10over the ordeal.
21:17It's this kind of funny
21:19and carefree moment
21:20that serves as a light-hearted
21:21scene to look back fondly on.
21:22The late princess
21:24was loved by many,
21:25and her radiance
21:26as a mother,
21:27activist,
21:27and hilariously clumsy skier
21:29is what she'll continue
21:30to be remembered for.
21:31They all seemed relaxed
21:33at the start
21:33of a 12-day Swiss break,
21:35which they want
21:36to be private
21:36from now on.
21:38Number 7.
21:38William and Kate's
21:39Competitiveness
21:40The Duke and Duchess
21:42of Cambridge
21:42are proper and composed
21:43when duty calls,
21:44but there is no room
21:46for those personas
21:46when competition ensues.
21:48Five,
21:49four,
21:50three,
21:51two,
21:52five,
21:55On several occasions,
21:57the husband and wife
21:58have taken advantage
21:59of their public engagements
22:00to act on their
22:01marital rivalry.
22:02They could be gearing up
22:03for a race,
22:04competing in a sailing regatta,
22:06or facing off
22:07in a game of ping pong.
22:19No matter the occasion,
22:21these royals are not ones
22:22to back down
22:22from a healthy showdown.
22:24Even though William
22:25has bested Kate
22:25a time or two,
22:26we're sure she'll
22:27avenge her losses
22:28in whichever humorous competition
22:30the two take part in next.
22:31She had the benefit
22:32of experience
22:33as Kate Middleton,
22:35the Duchess of Cambridge,
22:36had rode like this
22:37for charity.
22:38But William had already warned
22:40he had no intention
22:41of losing.
22:42Number six,
22:43Anne's video chat lesson.
22:45Rarely would we dub
22:46the royals relatable,
22:47but a documentary
22:48on Princess Anne
22:49revealed an experience
22:50many can understand,
22:52trying to explain technology
22:53to a parent.
22:54Who hasn't been there?
22:56Everything that she does
22:57in a public way
22:58involves people
22:59coming together
22:59to meet her
23:01for some reason or another.
23:03So that's been
23:04extremely difficult.
23:05In a laughable scene,
23:06Anne and her mother,
23:07the Queen,
23:08jumped on a video call.
23:09And the monarch
23:10was understandably
23:11not the most
23:12technologically inclined.
23:13Anne opened the virtual dialogue
23:15with an all-too-common question.
23:17Can you see everybody?
23:18You should have
23:19six people on your screen.
23:21And her mother replied
23:22that she only had eyes
23:24on four of the six people
23:25who she should have
23:26been able to see.
23:26Anne followed up
23:27the relatable exchange
23:28with a joke,
23:29solidifying this
23:30royal mother-daughter moment
23:31as one that is
23:32as endearing
23:33as it is funny.
23:34Actually,
23:34you don't need me.
23:35You know what I look like.
23:37With online technology,
23:39being in touch
23:40is one thing,
23:41but it's not quite the same.
23:42Number five,
23:43Rockstar William.
23:44Few trios are as unexpected
23:47as Jon Bon Jovi,
23:48Taylor Swift,
23:49and Prince William.
23:51In 2013,
23:52the Prince joined
23:53the iconic pop
23:54and rock stars
23:54on a Kensington Palace stage
23:56to belt Bon Jovi's
23:57famous Livin' on a Prayer.
24:07The royal might have
24:09initially looked tense
24:10and way out of his comfort zone
24:11when approaching the microphone,
24:12but he quickly loosened up
24:14and did the song justice
24:15with his A-plus singing effort.
24:17William seemed to
24:18particularly enjoy
24:19his time on stage
24:20once the chorus rolled around,
24:21leaving the audience
24:22and us watching
24:23from afar
24:24thoroughly entertained.
24:33It's always fun
24:34to watch the royals
24:35try new things.
24:36The randomness
24:37and hilarity
24:38of the short-lived
24:38musical group
24:39makes this legendary performance
24:41especially memorable.
24:52Number 4.
24:53Popcorn Thief
24:54Over the years,
24:55the Duke of Sussex
24:56has shown his playful side
24:57when interacting with the youth.
25:04One of his funniest encounters
25:06took place in the stands
25:07of a volleyball match
25:08at the Invictus Games,
25:09where he found himself
25:10seated next to
25:11a then-two-year-old girl.
25:13While he was enjoying
25:14his popcorn,
25:15the little one named Emily
25:16hysterically stole some
25:17for herself.
25:18After catching
25:19the adorable thief,
25:20Harry teased her,
25:21but was more than happy
25:23to share his snack.
25:31As a former mischievous
25:33young'un himself,
25:34he seemed to have gotten
25:35just as much of a kick
25:36out of the interaction
25:36as we did.
25:37And if there's any questions
25:39about what he's like
25:40as a dad,
25:40this sweet moment
25:41is a good indication.
25:48Number 3.
25:50Roasting U.S. Presidents
25:51Queen Elizabeth proved
25:52she was not intimidated
25:54by her fellow world leaders,
25:55and she seemed to
25:56especially have a thing
25:57for poking fun
25:58at U.S. Presidents.
26:03During a White House visit,
26:05then-President Bush
26:06mistakenly said
26:06that the Queen
26:07was present
26:07for the American
26:08Bicentennial Celebration,
26:10which occurred in 1976
26:11in 1776.
26:13At a later dinner,
26:15the monarch used her speech
26:16to reference the error,
26:17which aged her
26:18about two centuries
26:19and wittily called him out.
26:27She also once used
26:28the overhead noise
26:29of a helicopter
26:30to land another quip.
26:37Most of the Queen's jokes
26:39were humorous,
26:39but were extra funny
26:40when U.S. leaders
26:41are the butt of them.
26:43Oh, really?
26:44Please.
26:45Boom.
26:49The older royals
26:50have certainly given us
26:51their fair share
26:51of candid comedy moments,
26:53but the next generation
26:54has also already begun
26:56to make us laugh
26:56with their childly antics.
26:58Charlotte and George
26:59got a taste
27:00at being DJs
27:02before falling into hysterics
27:04when conducting an orchestra.
27:05Most notably,
27:06Prince Louis
27:07stole the Queen's spotlight
27:08at the Platinum Jubilee.
27:09His older sister,
27:10Princess Charlotte,
27:11tried to calm
27:12his overzealous waving.
27:13Louis continued
27:14to exude
27:15restless energy
27:16at the Jubilee pageant,
27:17clearly enjoying himself
27:18in the stands.
27:19After some time
27:20sitting on his grandfather's lap,
27:21he was seen pulling faces
27:23and dancing in his seat.
27:25And we'd be remiss
27:26not to mention
27:27how he pulled
27:28some truly hilarious faces
27:29on a balcony
27:30during the flypast.
27:31Safe to say
27:32he was one of the stars
27:33of the show.
27:39Thanks to the young royals
27:41vibrant personality,
27:42we did too.
27:43Number one,
27:44the Queen's wit.
27:46Hello.
27:47Are you well?
27:48Thank you very much.
27:49I'm still alive.
27:50Nice to see you again.
27:51Despite often being thought of
27:52as stone-faced,
27:54Queen Elizabeth blessed the public
27:55with glimpses
27:56of her quick-witted sense of humor.
27:57She'd notably made clever quips
27:59about the longevity of her life,
28:00the heavy weight of her crown,
28:02and cutting a cake
28:03with an obscenely large sword.
28:33I don't think this is going to work.
28:34less dressy.
28:36The garter robe is so...
28:37It's dressy.
28:38What do you think this is?
28:39With her cheekiness
28:41and sharp remarks,
28:42the monarch exemplified
28:43how a leader
28:44can embody the seriousness
28:45of their role
28:46while maintaining
28:47a fun-loving spirit.
28:48Who's your favorite royal
28:50and why?
28:51Let us know in the comments.
