The interesting thing for me about Prince William’s speech to Christchurch earthquake survivors was that he is English. That may seem an obvious thing to say, but the Queen speaks an older-style universal English, which Prince Charles follows to a certain extent. I’m not researching this online or linking to experts, but my own observations tell me that the Queen’s English is similar to Oxford English, which used to be spoken by ABC radio announcers and professionals in Australia.
