1. royal

   Royal denotes that which actually belongs or pertains to a monarch; the royal residence is that which the king occupies, royal raiment that which the king wears. Regal denotes that which in outward state is appropriate for a king; a subject may assume regal magnificence in residence, dress, and equipage. Kingly denotes that which is worthy of a king in personal qualities, especially of character and conduct; as, a kingly bearing; a kingly resolve. Princely is especially used of treasure, expenditure, gifts, etc., as princely munificence, a princely fortune, where regal could not so well be used and royal would change the sense. The distinctions between these words are not absolute, but the tendency of the best usage is as here suggested.

1. Max Foster:

   I was responding to the questions that people were asking and things that I wouldn't think to have covered, so that was useful, they were also directing me around the area. So they wanted to see a statue, for example, I'd show them a statue. Or if they wanted to speak to a particular person, I'd take them over to that person. They wanted to meet one of the royal fans who had become quite well known on TV, so I took them over and had a chat with them.

2. Meghan Markle .:

   From my standpoint, its not new to see this undercurrent of racism and certainly unconscious bias, but I think to see the changes that are being made right now is really its something I look forward to being a part of, and being part of using my voice in a way that I havent been able to of late. So, yeah, its good to be home. Meghan Markle .

3. Grant Harrold:

   The problem is that she's got to remember that, as a member of the royal family, she represents the family or, as it's been called, 'the brand', so, I think there is quite a lot pressure to make sure she gets it right because the last thing she wants to do is do something wrong or make a mistake and it ends up becoming front page news - and then it's embarrassing for her and for the royal family.

4. Royalty TV Nick Bullen:

   I think a lot of people just don’t understand Harry’s thinking on this, at a very simple level – take away all the royal trappings – he should be attending the Thanksgiving Service of his grandfather. He should be supporting his grandmother, regardless of the fact that she is queen. On a simple family level, he should be there. And I think that’s how most people [in the U.K.] feel right now. He could come on his own easily. Even Meghan and the kids can remain safely in California. He should be there.

5. George Pell:

   I am horrified by the accounts that survivors have given in their evidence during the Ballarat hearings, and at the enormous impact the abuse has had on them, their families and the community, i am also deeply saddened by the way the church authorities have failed in responding to these crimes. I am deeply to committed to assisting the royal commission and to doing anything I can to help survivors (including) giving evidence in person if asked to do so.
