[quote lulugee]@MindtheBelleek lol yes I see what you're saying but by diverse I'm not even specifically talking about race, just a mixture of viewpoints from different classes too etc. That's the only way they'll get any true understanding of how the masses think [/quote]
I get that, @lulugee, but the same thing applies, surely? By definition, they are the opposite of diverse in class terms as well as race. The RF is by definition a bunch of rich, UC, straight white people marrying other rich, UC, straight, white people for the furtherance of the bloodline.
Their lives could not be more different to those of their ‘subjects”. And in fairness, much of what I read on here makes me think that many of ‘the masses’ don’t want them to be ‘relatable’ or ordinary — they want to keep them as sort of magical objects that exist mostly to be looked at from a distance, their lives and motivations speculated about, their outfits, body language and expressions analysed, mannequins at the centre of lavish ceremonials, the exact nature of their power left vague.
The RF, of course, realise that they’re anachronisms, and as presumably even someone like William, who seems like he’d be very happy to junk the whole royal gig, don’t want to be seen to founder the family firm when Grandad is barely dead, and Granny is still at the helm Dad is itching to take over. Hence these silly PR exercises by privilege trying to look make itself look vaguely relatable to the masses.
