Absolutely. There’s a large element of luck involved as to whether your personality, character or sexual preference matches with the requirements of the job.
For example, it suited the Queen well because she was very traditional and not a particularly reflective person, had a good work ethic and strong sense of duty, and got stuck in. Ditto Princess Anne.
But what the job requires of someone when they are not particularly suited to it, borders on psychological torture (George VI). He did a good job but it cost him dear.
This is one of the reasons why I think
we should ditch the lot. It’s almost a cruel position they are in, despite their riches.
For a child of eleven to have his life already mapped out for him in this day and age is mind blowing tbh and yet it’s treated like it’s perfectly normal.
And I imagine, with such intense scrutiny on them, is it virtually impossible to lead a life in the RF nowadays without being pretty honest about who you are (Andrew).
Let’s set them free and release them back in to the wilds of the grouse moors! 😀 At least an elected President can run for the role voluntarily.
And it would have the added benefit of avoiding the attractiveness or not of children being discussed on threads like this, and in much worse sm discussions, which is pretty distasteful if you think about it.
