The question I'm asked most often by people who take my accent reduction courses is this: How Do I Know Which Sounds to Use in Which Words?

Looking in detail at the differences between one speaker and another, with broadly the same accent, reminded me that although RP is its own distinctive accent, it's tempting to observe that no two British English RP speakers sound the same!

Last weekend, I was in the Sunday Telegraph doing some (ex-) royal watching: that paper ran a story about whether King Charles' second son’s accent has become more American since resettling in California with his wife Meghan Markle and family.
