I think there is probably a lot of truth in it but is it any surprise?
The whole set up is toxic.
Imagine as children being constantly fawned over and having immense privilege but rather shaky emotional attachments and being physically on the move constantly between boarding school, your parents, and the vast estates of your grandmother and trips abroad.
Imagine being loved equally by your parents but everyone else deferring just that little bit more to your older brother who would be party to special treatment, like special teas at your grandmother's which didn't include you.
Even worse, imagine if you knew that your older sibling could ultimately be able to determine your role and your wage and living circumstances and the status of your wife and children. And that knowledge becoming reality!
Imagine growing up in a family where each member had their own office with staff who were rivals to one another.
Imagine always having to give way to your older brother when it comes to protocol, family decisions, money.
And then in the middle of that toxicity, you are put under constant immense public scrutiny and you have to be very wary who you befriend outside of the family in case they sell stories about you to the papers.
I'm amazed no one has cracked before to be honest! Well, Princess Margaret probably did crack to a certain extent tbh but in those days it was possible to keep under wraps.
Perhaps this hierarchical set up worked in a more private, deferential age with old school stalwart leaders such as Prince Philip and the Queen but I don't think it works in modern times with Prince Charles at the helm.
Yes they have immense privilege but the emotional cost is too high. I think we ought to release K & W's lovely dc from the same burden and vote for a republic.
