He's a TV producer, a theatrical impresario, and he wants to be treated as Mr. Windsor but when the going gets rough he wants to be treated like a member of the Royal Family.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you look at the British royal family and take away the scandals and the goofy stuff that's going on, people love to have this king to look up to - the royals are like celebrities.
Being born into the Royal Family is like being born into a mental asylum. Marrying into it is not something to be taken lightly.
I've always felt the man is king of the house and should be amused and treated well.
It's a problem for him because he's got - like Edward VII had - nearly all his lifetime to wait until he becomes Monarch. What is he going to do with it? So he wants to do something positive but he always courts those dangers.
That's a really strange, unique position to be in - royalty is where you have no choice over what your duties are.
Royalty is completely different than celebrity. Royalty has a magic all its own.
If you ever start feeling like you have the goofiest, craziest, most dysfunctional family in the world, all you have to do is go to a state fair. Because five minutes at the fair, you'll be going, 'you know, we're alright. We are dang near royalty.'
I'm not a royal family watcher.
There are some tremendous actors in the U.K. who have been knighted, and I've spent much of my life admiring many of them, like Laurence Olivier. So it's very flattering to be in their company.
In the past, people were born royal. Nowadays, royalty comes from what you do.
