Hardly a day goes by when a new royal scandal arises. Every Sunday paper seems to have some feature that exposes dark deeds in high places, in the Palace, its press office and among those associated with the Royal Family, the Firm.
There is clearly less respect and deference these days, and those against the British Monarchy have grown stronger in their calls for an end to what is seen as outdated, old fashioned, parasitical and opaque. The lack of accountability, the obvious mendacity and dishonesty all bring the institution in to disrepute. There are signs of moral declension, cover ups, fraud, failure to uphold justice and the rule of law.
The Royal Family, the Firm, seems to be more concerned about its image and prestige than its duty to the citizens and subjects.
AMW and Sarah Ferguson have opened up a can of worms, a toxic mess that is eating its way into the upper echelons of the State and the Firm. The damage done is probably incalculable, but perhaps the Firm will find a way to adapt, change and charm the people.
