What could be the future of the monarchy?
The royal family has made many mistakes. But their biggest mistake is not to support Harry et Meghan. Harry provides a balance to the monarchy. It is or was the black sheep but could also connect to the world. Remember too that Meghan has opened new doors for the royal family. Although the royal family is very famous. Their celebrity has limits. The virtual baby shower organized by the Sussexes fans (#GlobalSussexBabyShower) was very revealing. Apart from the money donated to charity, what has been most striking is the great diversity of benefactors. They have united for a good cause from all over the world.
If they leave, the balance will be lost and the royals will be seen exactly for what they are: "parasites without a soul". The pressure will be so strong that they will eat each other.
Let's be honest: *the queen is senile with her obsession with wanting to protect a pedophile; *It's not pejorative but Charles is a geek, obsessed with the environment and his foundation. A very good thing but he is completely disconnected otherwise he would have helped his son; *William is so obsessed with his image and the roses of the garden that he has forgotten that a future king must have relevance, consistency and many qualities. No, William, laziness, collusion with the press, internships at MI6, theft of ideas from SussexRoyal IG and football games don't matter.
Even if we call them the royal family, they are not a "family". It's a company. What makes a business flourish? Innovative ideas, leaders and employees united towards the same goal: to maintain excellence and not to sink. Now, what is going on today with the royal family? They lost sight of the essentials. Each one thinks that the future of the monarchy is the one where this one. Indeed, there will be a king but his throne is placed on a pile of very unstable sand. In 2019, when the very idea of a monarchy is incongruous, the only way to avoid alienating the people is to juggle intelligently between family and the tangible results of the engagements dedicated to the people.
I explain: 1) Whether you like Meghan or not, one thing must be unanimous, it's her work ethic. In 2019, it's impossible to continue only cutting ribbons, smiling at cameras and wearing beautiful dresses. Associations need significant impact. Take the example of the Grenfell community. The sale of a cookbook led the kitchen to open 7 days instead of 2; the women received awards, they worked to obtain 23 qualifications. They became autonomous. It's called "Real Impact". Outside today, not all royal engagements have this kind of result. The royal family works with the press but it's completely counterproductive for charities. Why? Because in an article of 250 words, only 25 words about the association and all the rest is gossip and a description of fashion. Logic and common sense want 25 words on gossip and clothing and all the rest on the charity. Harry understood this well and that's why he launched Invictus Games very intelligently. His fame helped launch the project worldwide but the project doesn't really need him to be viable. It's a resounding success.
2. The family. They have to work like a business but for the royal myth to survive, they must also be a family and show it. The small outing at Christmas or their presence in weddings is not enough. For example, do a lot more engagement together. But especially, in case of problems, to unite. Don't be fooled, the serious problems that the Sussexes have with the press is not only the problem of Harry and Meghan, it's also the problem of the royal family. If Harry leaves, the monarchy will always have this task in its history. If he decides to stay, the media will not let go and the royal family will suffer anyway. 451 articles written on Meghan just because she breathes, will always eclipse other members. "Unity is strength", a united royal family will be extremely strong. And for the human side, setting limits on the press today will be very beneficial for the future. Imagine the future of Georges, Charlotte, Louis and Archie, if this family encourages the press to harass one of the members. Which of these children will suffer the most?
