Even Royals Have Rants: 8 Delightfully British Moments of Regal Temper (4 of 5)

6. Prince Harry vs. Plastic: The Eco Rant

During the Sentebale Polo Cup in 2019, new dad Prince Harry sleep-deprived, probably operating on one espresso and a dream had a polite but pointed rant about plastic. There was a plastic thing on the coffee cup, and my shirt came back in a giant plastic bag, he reportedly told hotel staff. Harrys mate, Nacho Figueras, said, Thats just who he is. And honestly? Fair play. If you’re going to be a prince, you may as well be an eco-warrior one.

7. Queen Elizabeth II vs. the Lamppost Incident

In a heartwarming, chaotic tale from Prince Williams youth, he and cousin Peter Phillips were chasing Zara Tindall around Balmoral on a go-kart as one does when they accidentally sent her crashing into a lamppost. Queen Elizabeth sprinted across the lawn in a full tartan kilt, delivering one of the most legendary royal tellings-off in history. She came charging over and gave us the most almighty telling off, William recalled. A royal scolding wrapped in tweed and fury glorious.
