Prince Charles on reality TV
The second episode followed the aristocratic couples while they were attending Harrogate's The Great Yorkshire Show—a prestigious farming event that took place in July 2021. Prince Charles was also attending the event and made everyone's head turn with his unexpected presence. Lady EmmaFitzalan-Howard, one of the aristocrats in the show, was filmed saying:
Oh my goodness, have you seen who's here? Prince Charles. Oh my god.
According to Mail Online, Prince Charles then goes to have a chat her husband Lord Gerald about his cow-purchasing plans. When the aristocrat tells the royal what kind of cow he was planning to buy and where he wanted to keep them, Prince Charles says:
Well done. But they're wonderful because they just get on with it on their own.
After the conversation, Lady Emma tells Lord Gerald:
Well that was unexpected. Wow. What were the chances of that happening? He recognised you look like a toff. Guy is in the summer. Linen suit. Absolutely love it. That has literally made my day.
