The gay guy is actually a woman. As the accent is put on it is a hard one. Basically Catherine has a south east mockney/cockney accent (I think) and here she is mixing upper-class Received Pronunciation, (maybe Cambridgeshire area) with effeminate tones but her south east roots are coming through. The accent sounds confused and so am I. It is definitely similar to how many in the south east speak though. Sorry I cannot help mate, but I am sure there are people on this forum that know there onions more than I do.
