It looks like the balcony might be considerably too large if family members keep getting siphoned off at this rate.
@noonames I forgot about that! But W&K will simply not be able to do all public appearances on their own. They simply cannot do it. Like it or not Meghan thrives under the camera, she's a natural for that, she was never intimidated by the cameras due to her acting background, that was an asset and Harry seems (to me) to be desperate to come back and get some exposure for himself. I think he misses it here.
From W&K perspective, I don't see how slimming down works in their favour either. Anne is old, the boomer Royals are on their way out. You need more relatives for things like Christmas walks and PR. Slimming down transfers a lot of burden to Williams children. The Royal Family have been getting booed recently, imagine dealing with that at every charity gig because you have no one else to share the duties with. It's not fair to the children
Perhaps Eugenie and Beatrice should have been brought into the fold much earlier, and had they been working Princesses before all this, possibly it might have kept them on the straight and narrow. Possibly having titles without any real expected reciprocal working expectation has ruined them.
Lady Louise doesn't appear to be showing any interest in ever becoming a working Royal, for now, but if she follows her mother's footsteps, she might perhaps pivot that way.
