The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, appearing in a two-minute trailer, said the first Archewell Audio podcast will be released over the festive period. Following the teaser, voice actor Jane Whitthenshaw, who has appeared in a series of BBC dramas and adverts, has discussed the way Harry talks.
She told The Telegraph: “Prince Harry has loosened his accent to make it more acceptable to real people.
“He never had the cut-glass vowels of his grandmother and this is part of breaking with the Firm and moving on.”
A cut-glass manner of speaking is one in which words are pronounced very clearly and carefully, and is associated with a high social class.
Body language analyst Judi James spoke to Express.co.uk about Harry’s accent after he appeared in a video call about Netflix documentary Rising Phoenix, a film about the Paralympics.
She said he “shows signs of his immersion in a US lifestyle” by “adopting the traces of an American accent when he pronounces ‘matter’ as ‘madder’”.
The 36-year-old’s accent also drew attention from beloved wife Meghan, 39, during the trailer.
It begins Harry saying, “So, shall we… start? Ladies first?”
Meghan then replies, “No, say it! Because I think it sounds really nice with your accent.”

“They will Zoom, they will chat over the holidays.
