I should probably take the hint and shut up but as arch royalists such as Tina Brown are happy to speculate about royal stuff along with a huge part of the population and as this original post it was clear there was an agenda I'm surprised pearl clutchers want to police it rather than take the high ground and avoid.
If my memory serves me right it was a tweet (later quickly deleted) by the Times journalist Giles Coren whose lunches monthly with best friend Tom Parker-Bowles that started the speculation in earnest. Followed by a number of nudge nudge articles across the media with the verifiable outcome that W&K stopped socialising with the Cholmondeleys for a number of years. This well trailed rave appearance plugs into that heritage.
Tina Brown confidently asserts that the future of the Windsor dynasty lies in Kate's hands should she go rogue a la Diana then we are probably in the end game as the British public won't wash increasing dysfunction were that to happen. Since their only job is to provide some constitutional national mystical glue that apparently hold us all together and informs our identity as a nation then holding them to account like similarly democratically elected representatives is part and parcel of the role of engaged activist citizens.
Harry believes and probably with good reason Meghan and him were thrown to the wolves to keep the press from scrutinising matters closer to home. A conclusion that I minded to concur with.
If the Windsor's resign and become normal citizens then they will be not be expected to meet these exacting standards and will have an expectation of a more normal private life. The Queen referred to them as The Firm after all. It is a business - a family business that we all pay for the privilege whether we like it or not.
(what a load of guff ed.......)
