    "the Royal Family lives" The numerous ones in Central London or in the surrounding London suburbs? Sandringham House in Norfolk? Balmoral Estate in Aberdeenshire, Scotland? Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh scotland? Carisbrooke Castle, Newport, Isle of Wight? Claremont, Esher, Surrey? Dunfermline Palace, Dunfermline? Eltham Palace, Kent? Hatfield House, Hertfordshire? The Castle of Mey, near John O' Groats? Stirling Castle, Stirlingshire? Audley End House, Saffron Walden, Essex? To name just one or two............................... and with accents changing every 10 miles or so, not an easy task.............. and 'plum in gob' English is not my idea of a prestigious accent......just listen to Cockney (Sir) Alan Sugar accent tells you nothing at all about social or economic status............ some of the most wealthy people in the UK live in Northern Ireland and in one particular county there are more millionaires per square mile than in Mayfair in London but you wouldn't know from their accent
