Once the Queen and Prince Charles have gone it will be a different animal altogether. William has to toe the line so to speak as he is next in line after Charlie. Harry is never likely to see the throne, so he can do what he wants to some extent. The sooner they move to Canada, the sooner this will all be chip paper. My 2 cents.
Considering the continued humiliation of Wallis and Gromit Edward I can see this causing never ending waves.
Another Brexit
I was watching the "Papers" review on the BBC News channel a couple of days ago, and the reviewers all agreed that while last year was all about Brexit, this year was shaping up as being all about the Royals. As Press folk themselves, they all also - despite ostensibly coming across as sympathetic to the Royals - seemed rather keen at the prospect...
The thing is that although the Golden Goose of Brexit isn't going to entirely disappear anytime soon, it's not to going to generate the same newspaper sales either. The Royals, in contrast, are a dead cert, and the Press can even pretend they're moving on from Brexit: after all, what represents the "United" Kingdom more than the Royal Family?
