yes watched it. The British media have never forgiven the royals for it. they were slated at the time.. and in fact just last week all these years later...it was all being raised again in the media.... and they're again being castigated for it

personally I just thought it was a bit of fun and showed the public that the Royals weren't as stiff and stuck up as most people thought they were...

Yes. I remember thinking this 'll be good .... but was very quickly disappointed, and somewhat embarassed.

I also remeber the interview with Prince Edward afterwards - He came into the tent with excitement and asked the journalists, "Well, what did you think?"
The journalists were underwhelmed and responded with nervous laughter.

The Prince Edward stormed out of the press conference, sarcastically thanking the journalists for their enthusiasm
