Before I start, this isn't a Meghan Markle thread. I've no interest in getting into a debate about her, it ends up a mess. This is more the royals in general.
I'm posting as I'm wondering if recent events in NYC hasn't just highlighted exactly what all the royals do? They go to great pains to spin everything in a positive light so the public will swallow it but was this past week just the Royals normal behaviour without the PR window dressing?
Edward went on a skiing trip on a private jet, I'm sure William and family did also.
Given Brexit and the uncertain times we live in, is this excess going to be tolerated? I think everything will be picked apart now.
I know they have piles of money but none of us want it shoved in front of us HM manages to give off the perception that she watches her pennies, she gets away with it too given her service. The next in line and so on will really have to thread a fine line with their extravagances, they don't have the same goodwill. They need to trim it right back to the direct line. It doesn't seem like Charles is trying to slim anything down despite what he has said.
