AIBU to hate the Royal Family and detest the endless attention lavished on them?

Yes, it's tough at the top - but try the bottom.

The Royal Family are one of the most entitled and obscenely funded dynasty of oligarchs the world has ever seen. The Diana/BBC story is a bit pathetic - they are obviously trying to make out the BBC killed Diana, which is a long, long way from the truth.

We need a Republic and written constitution as soon as possible, and get real with modern life - not to be endlessly obsessed with who shggd who in the 1300s.

The Queen is I think pretty remarkable because of her lifelong service. She started at at time when the world was very different, and I would be happy for her to see out her reign. But they now look out of date and they seem like a dysfunctional and not particularly nice family. They have plenty of money and should support themselves now, I don't see the point of them being in the public eye, they're not good role models either, any of them. (Princess Anne seems alright though)

Most of it is the fault of media companies than the RF and actually the British public. The corporate media cover them so much because sales spike and they always have.

The real question isn't why does Britain HAVE a Royal Family?

Is why does the Great British Public seem to NEED a Royal Family?

And so you start yet another thread to lavish even more attention on them...

I suspect the RF dont want the attention then they can do what they want when they want to and dont have the glare of publicity or being accountable on them

I am on my knees trying to get mental health support for my husband. He has tried to kill himself four times, the last resulting in a convulsion and probably long term liver damage. There was no help before covid and there sure as hell isn't any now . There is no help, no space on an inpatient ward, no counselling for the foreseeable future, I am terrified to leave him as I don't know what i will come back to. I'm financially funked trying to keep him alive, I can not afford private treatment.
I didn't really have an opinion before but Harry has no idea. I agree with your title, I'm not saying it's easy and mental health is hard for all, but if you are at the bottom and you can't pay your bills , feed your family or get any help then it's a different world.

YANBU OP.

The Royal Family (including the "Firm" administrative part) quite intentionally tricked and defrauded a mentally fragile teenage girl into becoming brood mare for their cold and socially inept heir, then the lot of them systematically abused and gaslit her until she went completely mad.

They did it, it was their fault, and they need to acknowledge that, stop trying to blame others for their own ills, and especially stop excoriating and scapegoating the women naive enough to marry into their family until those women understandably lose their minds and crave death.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you: Our Social Betters.

I don't really understand the scandal tbh ,I remember watching the documentary at the time ,the BBC and Martin Bashir may have used underhand methods ,but Diana was complicit in the interview,and how it would have come across ,there were three of us in the marriage etc
