The British royal family is preparing for the coronation of King Charles III, but they’re also facing a big question: how do they survive and remain relevant in the modern world? While polls show that the majority of Britons still support the monarchy, younger generations are less interested in it. The family is also dealing with the constant scrutiny from the media and public, which can be painful and difficult to handle. Prince Harry has even spoken out about how he and his family have felt trapped in a media goldfish bowl.
The monarchy has always relied on the press to cover their engagements, but this comes with a price. The royals are expected to play the “media game” in exchange for their gilded lives in palaces. Prince Harry has accused his family of colluding with the press to plant negative stories about him, and he’s made it clear that he doesn’t want to subject his family to this kind of scrutiny anymore. With everyone having cameras on their mobile phones, it’s even more difficult for the young children of Prince William to avoid exposure.
Despite these challenges, the British royal family has always shown a remarkable ability to adapt and bounce back from adversity. However, it remains to be seen whether they will want to continue down this path. Being a member of the royal family comes with a great burden, and some may not want to subject themselves or their families to this kind of life.
