Royal Family News: The Americanization Of Prince Harry, Becoming Slicker and More-Rehearsed

British royal family news reveals that Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex and Meghan Markle dropped their first Spotify podcast today but all anyone could talk about was Harry’s new accent—or lack of one, or is he now using an exotic brew of accents?

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex included a few VIPs on the show, along with Harry’s accents, including Sir Elton John, Brené Brown, Deepak Chopra, Stacey Abrams and James Corden. To give you a taste of Harry’s new slang, he called 2020 “tweny-tweny.”

Royal watchers pounced on his new pronunications, saying he has dropped the Queen’s English accent for a, “slurring mid-Estuary,” drawl.

Judi James said Harry’s twang was, “every bit as interesting as Tony Blair’s infamous mockney.”

She told the Daily Mail, “It’s pretty much mid-everything: mid-Atlantic, mid-London and mid-Estuary English.”

According to her, “Describing the podcast as “Our tweny-tweny holiday special,” Harry drops the second “t” in “twenty” in a verbal slurring that sounds either American or South London.”

Judi thinks the nu-accent is seductive, for instance how he says “wanna” rather than “want to” and he pronounces the word “look” more like “luck.” For those who watch the British soap EastEnders, she says he would be right at home in the Queen Vic.

She says he has also changed his pacing and tone which points to him having been trained–arf arf!

Instead of being tentative and saying um a lot he is now quicker with no hemming and hawing.

But his “training” has rendered Harry less authentic: “There is nothing natural about these clipped and scripted sentiments although the performer skills have clearly been worked on.”

Judi said he is now a, “slicker, more rehearsed-sounding,” speaker and with Meghan the pair resemble a “professional media double act.”

“So far we have seen Harry marketed as a bit of a royal male on the loose, a tentative speaker who projected his personal brand of charm and charisma by looking and sounding like a keen amateur rather than a polished professional.”

“Here, though, he has been fully launched as podcast Harry, a slicker, more rehearsed-sounding speaker who has even adopted a new style of accent to appeal to a demanding audience.
