2023-01-06 Spare the details

As someone who loves my country and all its diversity of people and culture I have to say how dissapointed I am in the latest Royal Family fiasco.

I am not a great fan of the royal family, but many people are and thats absolutely fine, I wish them absolutely no harm, I do wish we could redirect some of their incredible wealth to the people in need in this country, towards food banks, social housing, more hospitals etc. but there are many wealthy people in this country who could do more.

I also largely ignore what you see wealthy people do, we have seen a lot of show in the past from many celebrities clearly designed to make them popular.

The problem with the Royals is that they have accepted a responsibilty to care about the people of this country and to lead by example and as such have to be seen to live up to that responsibilty, which may seem unfair to them but its how it is.

But lets ignore all that as my synicism, what nobody can deny that the latest scandal from Harry has futher embarassed this country and its not needed. If he has some evidence that the royal family is acting in their own interests and not the countries then he should focus on that, not on the family squables which frankly are doing nobody any good other than the American Netflix and CBS channels.

I just wish they would all just shut up and leave the reality stuff to the profesionals on 'Love Island'

Additionaly we dont really know if there is some other agenda here, there maybe still some Diana issues, there may be some family issues across europe, remember after the death of Victoria we became part of the House of Hanover and later part of the House of Saxe-Coburg and only renamed as the House of Windsor durring the first World War to detach itself from what was happening in Europe, it did not stop their family relationships though that still exist today. Maybe theres some sinister plot going on? Now that would make a good Netflix story!
