To think that Harry and Megan's return to the UK has everything to do with money running out?

That really. I mean it's not like they are loved here whether it comes to family or the public. I think Harry might genuinly want to live in England whereas his wife is looking for the attention and money.

William is the future King. Every family, well a lot of them have rogues, villains, ne'er do wells and so on, but many manage to stick together. William would be very much admired if at some point the thaw sets in and he makes up with H. One big happy family again.

The public would love it, and the gossip would ease. Go on William, break the ice, and your father will be a happy man too. What parent wouldn't be happy to see his family re united.

I think Diana changed the narrative

the royal family with their extremely good team around them who had preserved their image by feeding the press stories constantly were suddenly not the only stories being told it was no longer one sided

many people still want to believe the one side as this narrative has been there all of our life time

their is interesting clip from the royal family tv show that was shown once and never again a fly on the wall type documentary of the queen and prince Philip looking at the papers and reports of a trip they had done the previous day it’s surprising how interested they are in the reports

They all need the media.

Based purely on her friendship with Jilly Cooper, I think Camilla sounds like lots of fun, but there is a limit to how interested people are in her reading campaigns and various charitable interests because she can only speak in platitudes.

It's the soap opera that keeps them in the public eye, and that is toxic for everyone.
