Anyone who argues in such detail is actually indirectly advocating the abolition of a voting democracy again. So a monarchy again after all? ;)

Not to be misunderstood. Of course, the monarchy is an undemocratic model that is only cheered by people who had Romanesque royal dreams in their childhood and never grew up, or who live in an amazing social environment where everyone usually thinks royal stuff is great. And whether education and foresight could advance anything in these people is, amazingly, a sadly speculative question. There will always be those little people who wave enthusiastically to the big ones, usually with flags of some funny territorial colors. Monty Python.

Unfortunately, they are a minor or big draw for the United Kingdom, which is otherwise increasingly eroding and bleeding out because the royal family allows it (because it doesn't get its hands dirty in politics, but only bequeaths power unused and only privately soiled).

If people don't want to listen to it then don't. They are a big draw for the UK. Not perfect but I expect plenty of people will have an interest.

Just another echo post (that nobody really cares about nor will make any difference) to let it be known that the annoying celebrity pandering, let alone these royalty entitled non-sense, boils my piss.

I can’t relate to these people, sure, some of these celebrities might have worked hard and surmounted hardships but they are in a completely different dimension lifestyle-wise today… and royalty? even less, it’s not like I can go back to unborn times, work my way in some queen to be born back again with royalty blood. And even if I did I would feel guilty as hell.

Apple today announced that Apple Fitness+ will feature the UK's Prince William on Time to Walk and Apple Music 1 on December 6.

Prince William will close the second season of Time to Walk with a holiday special episode. During the episode, Prince William discusses the importance of keeping mentally fit, going outside of your comfort zone, and the value of listening.

Time to Walk is a selection of Apple Fitness+ audio experiences on the Apple Watch that feature influential people as they share personal stories and memories, photos, and music to explore thoughts on purpose and gratitude, levity, and thought-provoking topics. Each episode is recorded while the guest walks outside or in locations that are meaningful to them.

The series has featured Dolly Parton, Anthony Joshua, Randall Park, Jane Fonda, Camila Cabello, Kurt Fearnley, Naomi Campbell, Draymond Green, Bebe Rexha, Min Jin Lee, Shawn Mendes, Stephen Fry, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Kesha, and more as guests.

Apple added that it is making donations to three charities around the world chosen by Prince William that focus on mental health: Crisis Text Line in the U.S., Shout 85258 in the UK, and Lifeline in Australia. These charity provide free, confidential crisis support.

Prince William's holiday special episode will be released on December 6, available to Apple Fitness+ subscribers on demand in the Fitness app on the Apple Watch, and, in a first for Time to Walk, it will also be streamed three times on Apple Music 1.

Apple says that listeners who tune in on Monday, December 6, at 8 a.m. local time in London and Los Angeles; and on Tuesday, December 7, at 8 a.m. local time in Sydney, should plan on a 38-minute walk.

Quite literally the only person from the UK I look forward to hearing from less than Prince Harry is Prince William.
 
Only amongst sad-sack bootlickers.
I suppose there is a visceral polarised view for some but when there is a big event on, wedding, funeral, changing the guard, changing the colours etc., the TV world feed numbers are massive and the crowds at the events are huge. The numbers speaks for itself.
 
Interesting how anything in the ballpark of criticism against the royal family is instantly disliked by a user in this forum.

Such drama for the crown.

You take a tech forum and an antiquated form of governance and you try make sense of that.
How people can like forward thinking actors but have their heads screwed on backwards at the same time remains a mystery to me.

I live in Belgium, a democratic kingdom, and even though a lot of people would love to see us become a republic, they aren't always aware of some facts. For example, for a lot of countries, the concept of a king is something special and when he visits other countries, a lot of businessmen travel along and the ROI in huge. And as I assume the response is that only the officers benefit: the people who works for those businesses laso benefit from it as they are getting more stability and people who didn't have a job and can start in those growing businesses obviously also profit.
And since this is an American website I'll compare to the US; the system of paying every living ex-president until they draw their last breath, is way more expensive than a royal family.

And more on topic: I'm amazed how many people come to post they won't listen to it. Do you search online for radiostations you never listen to as well, so you can post on their forums you don't listen to them? Maybe it's a cultural thing? Do Americans often complain when something completely optional is released, complaining about it and telling they won't listen to it? Must be a lot of work since loads and loads of albums are released on Apple Music every week. Or all the movies in theaters your not going to watch, must take some time finding forums online to say your not going to watch/listen.

Must not take much to amaze then, we're simply responding to a headline which was front and center of the Mac forums we use, about a feature which is at the top of the list on our activity screens. It took no effort to seek them out at all. If we don't share our displeasure in this "feature" or "featured guests" how will change at Apple and/or MacRumors occur? Keep working on those comparisons though, you'll get it right one day.✌️

Because Apple is reading these forums to become aware if something needs to change? You don't imagine they know how much people use each feature and will listen to this Time to Walk? You really think these three pages on a forum are the spark that Apple needs to change this feature? Keep working on it, you'll get it right one day.
