Years ago I thought the Earl of Wessex was going to end up being the most controversial member of the royal family. Turns out he is one of the least controversial members of the family. I think a big part of that is the fact that he married well. The countess has done well in her role and I think she has been very good for him. They are very fortunate to have found each other. I think the Earl would have made a superb university professor.

I imagine growing up in the royal family and the realization of the responsibility you are to undertake for life can be hard to comprehend. Edward has grown to the pressure and has found his place and seems a steady sort of person. A credit.
Prince Edward has a pleasant tone to his voice , well presented and quite interesting .
Edward is a skilled narrator
Thanks to HRH Prince Edward for making this documentary series. It is excellent. HRH Prince Edward and Sophie are two of the finest members of the Royal family.
This was really well done- from the presentation by Prince Edward, to the quality of the filming.
The Earl of Wessex is a wonderful and brilliant producer. Watched them all. I'm excited to find this channel today. Looks just his maternal grandfather. Well done Ed!
Prince Edward, you are wonderful at this. I look forward to seeing more documentaries narrated by you. It’s especially enjoyable because you are a royal and have a personal connection to Sandringham. It is apparent that you are proud of your family history. What a joy it is to see you in this way. Thank you for taking us along on your journey. I am living in the USA and I am half English. 🇬🇧🇺🇸

Eileen I agree with you and wish Edward could have continued making these great programmes. Being from Aotearoa New Zealand there is so much I do not know of Britain even though my forebears too came from there. So many names that look back to England or Scotland. The street our house is in Dorset St for example. Edward has worked with a very fine team in making these programmes and like you I am going to make the most of what we can see on You Tube now even if the supply has dried up years ago
Pure magic. It’s always wonderful learning about royal homes and palaces, but when we learn from a member of the royal family, well, it can’t can’t get any better than that.

Superb! The map, The horses(Persimmon), the Interior of the House including the hockey's weigh-in chair, the three beautiful pianos, one made in oak, quintessentially English and Enduring. Well done Ardent and your person able narrator Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex. And, eventually we hope, the Duke of Edinburgh?

Thank you, Prince Edward. We are enjoying the history of Sandringham from San Francisco.
This was just wonderful. I do love History! Thank you Prince Edward....
As a loyal Royal I had the privalage to be descant in RAHall in 1976 with RSCM to sing for HRH Queens Elizabeth 2nd and mother, a truly life changing experience and to find this narrated by Edward is a true look into the Royal family, it’s history and makes me even more prouder to be British. Please do more Edward.
Thankyou so much for sharing this wonderful story. What a brilliant insight we get and I enjoyed Prince Edwards commentary.
It must be said that Edward is a superb documentary maker. His documentary ’Edward on Edward’ is by far the most fascinating, authoritative and best synopsis of the controversial King Edward VIII.
Prince Edward has such a lovely voice and is very well spoken. First time watching and am already a fan.
I really enjoyed this program! During these difficult times in the middle of a pandemic, it’s just a breath of fresh air for me. Thank you for posting (I thought Prince Edward did an amazing job as well!)
Very well produced and Edward always does a great job as a host and commentator.

Really enjoyed this and loved having the Earl of Wessex narrating!
His docs are actually really nice
King George VI had such a rich, gorgeous voice. The stammer was a cruel irony. In my opinion...he was considerably more handsome and "Kingly" than his older brother. GR6 had more of a statesman-like vibe about him, as well.

Loved this one! I owned a horse (sadly no longer with us) who was descended from Persimmon. Apparently they are pretty rare nowadays because of Persimmon's short breedling span. I researched Persimmon a good bit and apparently he broke his hip coming out of the box shown in the documentary.
Edward is the perfect host for this wonderful documentary.
Really enjoyed this video. Narrated by someone who knows what he is talking about.

Marianne Bonner it wasn't because they thought it was bad, it was because Edward used his royal connections, he only did one documentary that had nothing to do with royalty Edward and Sophie wanted to carry on their careers and not use their royal connections, because they can't make money out of their royal connections, but they carried on with their royal duties too it was a disaster, that how it was known that the sussexes wanting to do the same wouldn't work and l think they will run out of things to talk about too

Very nice edition, so well good interviewed, music, were good this times?...
Wonderful jog narration, will have to do more. Love and admit both you, Prince Edward and wife Countess Sophia. Would like to see more of you both.
Prince Edward has done a great job very informative and a star as the host
Excellent. Edward is cooler than his siblings...
This is full awesomeness! DUDE, where have you been? I'm am sooooo tired of the "Harkle's". I would love more content from the Earl.
Very much enjoyed this! Many people, particularly republicans, don’t give credit what the Royal Family has done for the entire county around Sandringham. Especially after the massive storm flooding decades ago soon after HM became Queen. They could have looked after their own private estate, but did great for other lands.
Amazing. What a wonderful family history. Great job. Can't wait to see more.
