Jonathan Ross' daughter Honey reveals family's fresh heartache branding it 'horrible'
Jonathan Ross' daughter has opened up about being "overexposed" in the public eye due to her father's fame. Honey Kinny, who is the youngest daughter of Jonathan and wife Jane Goldman, opened up about being in the spotlight from a young age, admitting it can be "invasive" and "horrible" at times.
Honey, 27, who is a screenwriter and podcast host, didn't hold back as she compared her family's experiences in the public eye to that of the Royal Family. Chatting on the Reel Talk podcast, which she co-hosts with her famous father Jonathan, 63, Honey opened up about the emotional toll of fame. The duo were discussing the final episodes of Netflix hit series The Crown, which tells a dramatised version of the story of the Royal Family.
Honey praised the performances of the actors involved in making the series. However, she admitted that the portrayal of recent, real-life events had made her feel uncomfortable.

The 27 year old explained: "I don't blame any of the actors because they're all doing their absolute best, it's an incredible performance that Elizabeth Debicki is giving but, it felt icky to me, [because it was so recent]. I think what I was trying to say earlier, we have been overexposed in the public eye at different times in our lives and it's a horrible feeling, it's so invasive, and I hate [that] for Will, I hate [it] for them."
She went on to share her sadness for the Royals, who have had to endure having several traumatic times in their lives being recreated for audiences for Netflix. Jonathan, who also shares children , Harvey Kirby, 30, and Betty Kitten Ross, 33, with wife Jane, then chimed in to reveal why he thinks The Crown has been such a big hit with TV viewers.
He stated: "The situation between Harry and William for example, we don't really know the truth of it but the newspapers are serving up the closest they can get to it. But they don't really know, and they're offering sometimes things as fact which we know are dubious. So back then there was next to no reporting and what they might have snuck at, would have been tamped down by the Crown and by the government."
"It's a fascinating period because you realise things were going on which maybe you've heard rumours of or echoes of, but it wasn't reported as common knowledge as perhaps things today in the Royal Family, so there was an element where they were peeling back the veil a bit, we're seeing something we didn't know for sure even though we suspected," he went on.
