Then add in all the many Scots accents and dialects, Scots Gaelic, Welsh and Welsh-accented English. Hardly anyone speaks RP (received pronunciation, ie posh) any more. Even the royals have toned it down. The late queen was really plummy back in the 50s. https://youtu.be/Ga-UcoJzsHg

Interesting, her accent has really changed a lot to become more regular sounding. I would guess in the old recording she was actively putting on the ridiculous accent, because the royals are all about projecting a posh image. Like i bet she did a lot of elocution training to purposely teach her how to sound that way
