What makes me frustrated is how the Windsors adopted the mindset that you can have a middle class mindset/habits and at the same time, responsibly handle vast privilege. Middle class types (and I speak from experience) prefer to turn inward and prefer to insulate themselves from the wider world, while still trying to be cared for a protected and coddled. We see how on uni campuses the middle class students demand safe space (for themselves), demand 'nice language' and prefer to sit around getting drunk instead of exploring the wider world while at uni and demand taxpayers pay their student loans instead of adulting up and working on paying their debt to society off. They prefer to shoot their mouths off rather than learn and maintain a good vocabulary. We see this in young women who get a degree from a prominent university, but prefer to not use it and land a man and give up on going any further in life.
Royals these days do not 'see' why they should date/marry their own kind and do not 'see' why they shouldn't get a four year degree and stop growing. They marry men and women who are no good, bring nothing and are not motivated to contribute anything. When royals were properly raised, they SAW that there were places where they did not belong and they stay away from places like public parks, or universities/living on campus, doing waitress (therefore taking a job away from someone who needs it) work, and partying in public clubs where it makes it harder for security to protect them. I hold Diana and Charles responsible for exposing their kids to not just to a mindset, but a way of life that has no place for them in it. It's not like William needed career advice and Harry turned out even worse, throwing away a career in the military because he didn't want to get further qualifications and would not be willing to do desk work for a handful of years so he could move up to the Admiralty.
Much of 'modern monarchy' has nothing to do with improving their academic qualifications, or improving their sense of responsibility, much of this is just taking more of what they see and want and making the taxpayer pay for it. Royal idiocy is funny in good times, but in times such as these they should have matured and been prepped to be of sincere help. They talk about needing more time to have freedom and be young, despite the fact that they have had a ton of freedom and fun in their youth. In my view much of this has been largely about fun on everyone else's money and a delusional refusal to grow out of the 80's and 90's when that era is over and now dying out (long overdue). The entire dream of royalty is a fixation with the boomers mainly since boomers just LOVE money and status and royals epitomize all that. That is why Diana was portrayed as the feminine ideal and why there are twenty Diana documentaries a year or month and it is clear that coming from as high a level as possible is the ideal and has been shoved down our throats for decades.
Queen Mary was the first modern royal of her era to focus on more than partying and frankly put, it gave royals a new place and royals these days are too stupid to see and appreciate that. If I were in such a position, I would have gotten as many qualifications in the area of social services and would have done my best to delve into finding a position in the area of social services/social work and I would have insisted on doing all I can to make sure that things were running smoothly and marshaling my vast resources to make sure that gaps were filled and made arrangements to secure better salaries and pension money. Regrettably the Brits decided to just marry mediocrities and fall apart from there. Royals aren't failing because they ares stupid, they are adopting attitudes and behavior that is messing up the lives of people who rely on them to do their jobs. Politicians and diplomats used to be able to count on royals and now they can't.
There is no hope for any of the current royals ro change their ways - intellectual giants they will never be.
Mary was one of the last of the so-called royal old school. Her mother was the last grandchild of George III and she was aware of duty and what royalty should stand for. Blending regular life and royal life just cannot and has been shown not to work.
Modern monarchy seems to be more about the royals begging to be seen as just regular folks wanting the same rights and privileges that the mass public has. Except they don't understand that 95 percent of the planet doesn't have the access to amazing privileges and luxuries and have to struggle, sometimes against harsh odds, to obtain any comforts of life. I think the royals really want to be seen as sharing the burdens but they are not.
And these lawsuits about privacy etc - don't they think that people don't have the same rights and protections they take for granted? So a tabloid spread a stupid story? Who cares? Lay people cant afford to sue everytime they are offended- if anything the royals/ celebrtities get to make their cases and share everything and get thousands of millions of followers. They have the unearned access - the rest of us? Shut to the side.
Back on topic - thinking it all started going downhill after Mary and George. After the promotion of their various children in the public sphere.
