The Kate Middleton conspiracies prove Britain's addiction to the monarchy is in crisis.
Subscribe here: / @newstatesman
The British royal family was in crisis even before Queen Elizabeth II died, and King Charles III and the Princess of Wales both became ill with cancer. The public reaction to Kate Middleton's cancer news and the conspiracies surrounding her absence demonstrate our perverse relationship to royalty.
"We are torturing them with our attention," says Tanya Gold, author of the New Statesman cover story "The Fragile Crown". She joins Chris Stone on the New Statesman podcast.

Was Queen Elizabeth II really perfect?? Or did she turn a blind eye all too often, I wonder?

As monarch, she could have ended all of the rivalries, but instead chose to turn a blind eye and allow the foolishness to exacerbate. She was a passive leader in name only.

The country and the world weren't in a good place when she passed away - the former wasn't entirely her fault and the latter was beyond her control - but it's become increasingly clear over the past 19 months that she didn't prepare her beloved 'Firm' very well at all for coping after her demise. So no, of course she wasn't perfect.

@@oliverraven The state of the world has absolutely nothing to do with her ability to parent/lead/put her foot down on the individuals within her own family. Your explanation is trying to absolve her of accountability. Real leaders/monarchs do not have that luxury. They are accountable for EVERYTHING that happens during their reign.

NO she was not perfect...she lived in a sham marriage and expected the british people to look up to her and Philip as a perfgect married couple where behind the scenes he had multiple mistresses, illegitimate children, was a drunk going to brothels! she psychologically damaged Charles, Andrew and Edward (Anne survived) by her cold ways where she put HERSELF and the COUNTRY first...she should never have had children because as a mother she failed with showing love! even Charles himself wrote this in the Dimbleby book in the mid 90''s that his mother was cold, distant and his father was nothing but a bully!

The assistant canceled the invitation. Get your story straight.

Firstly constitutional monarchs have no political power. Secondly the Duchy of Cornwall refers to his estates in that county and the money referred to is revenue from those estates.

Well articulated analysis of what I've thought for years... I once met the Duke of Edinburgh (Philip), on our school playing field. (We were doing a "Duke of Edinburgh Awards thingamajig") He only showed interest in the prettiest female of our particular group. (I guess he was 50 plus, as it was around 1978, whilst our particular group were around 15 at the time). I assume the "alleged" misdeeds of his second son were inherited from his own "alleged" partiality for young "nymphs", learnt from his uncle, Louis Mountbatten. The list goes on... I've always been skeptical of an institution that requires that we are referred to as "subjects". These people are just as human as the rest of us [and] often are no better, living off wealth and privilege. It's about time the monarchy was "put out to pasture". Unfortunately, like Tanya Gold suggests, it's going to take a real crisis before the British public wakes up to the reality. As for Harry, I think she's right in saying he showed courage in publicly holding their collective feet to the fire! I haven't read "Spare", however. I don't think there's anyone I could hate more than Piers Morgan who is apparently on a sycophantic "royalist" crusade to bash the "Sussexes", so I'll always be on Harry's side, even if that doesn't make me popular with the majority of "Union Jack" wavers. It may explain that I've chosen to live in Kenya (and don't really relish the thought of moving back to the UK right now).

There's certainly been a huge change in dynamic since the queen's death, although Elizabeth had no choice about becoming queen she embraced it to the hilt. The 1950's was a time when most women's ambitions were quashed and they had to return to the kitchen and go back to being housewives after the relative freedoms and opportunities during WW2. Elizabeth jumped at the chance to have a career and travel the world, becoming queen gave her an enormous amount of freedom for the time. For prince Charles the opposite was true, he's spent most of his adult life in the queen's shadow. By all accounts he had a miserable childhood spent mostly in boarding schools, he was then forced into military service which he hated and while his contemporaries went off and forged their own careers he knew he had no choice in the matter. So for Charles royalty has been a straight jacket and we had glimpses of his frustration with the whole palaver during the coronation. Whether the royal family survives beyond William and Kate is hard to say, it does feel increasingly irrelevant especially to younger people. The whole situation with "photoshop gate" also gave Wills and Kate a taste of how quickly the media can turn nasty, it'll definitely leave a bad taste in the mouth and like Harry, they could well decide one day, it isn't worth the hassle..

You really need to re-read "Spare". Harry did NOT say he "loved" being shot at. He was told by WIlliam and the two other kids that if he didn't get in the car and go now, they would start shooting at him right there. That's how twisted it was. You also need to go back regarding the timeline for Diana and read/hear Diana's comments LONG before the Bashir interview. She felt she was being "watched" -- which was correct as we now know from the phone-hacking, tracking, blagging--not to mention the "men in gray suits" that has come to light. However, at the time, she was labeled as "paranoid" to discredit her valid-- and eventually lethal-- concerns.

They remained sticking to old patterns of dark methods to maintain their gains and fraud whilst rebranding and hoping to win interest through machine that they have both always abused.

The essayist appears not to know how the title thing works. Under the British system, titles are passed down through the male line, not the female (exception being a Queen). Therefore, it's not the case that Margaret's children have no title because of her intervention. Upon their marriage, her husband was offered an earldom, and he took it, so her children are titled. Her son is the Earl of Snowdon, and her daughter is Lady Sarah. In the case of Princess Anne, her husband was offered a title upon their marriage, but he declined it. So, because he is untitled, there were no titles to convey to his children. This is the reason why Anne's children are untitled.

They are constantly, and aggressively competing with the Royal Family, at every turn, and do their very best to try and ruin all the big Royal Events of the year. That doesn't smack of being happy, to me. Quite the reverse. Angry, bitter, and deluded, is what I see.

The monarchy started to crumble when Queen Elizabeth started to decline. The firm has become a 🎪 after her passing. It’s embarrassing. He’s not a half Royal, Harry’s title is his birth right. That argument is senseless. These are the same people that call people with no kingdom’s Kings and Queens and their children prince’s. Seriously y’all need to let it go. Fascinating to see how her mind struggles to keep her two feet from going in different directions in regard to her opinion. On the other hand her rant on how the public perceive monarchy and how bad it has become in its treatment of it , smacks of ignorance of her country’s royal history. None of this is new. The monarchy has gone through way worse in regards of their PR and more than once they feared the fall of it. So I don’t know what she’s going on about. This is different, way different. This is the age of social media and progressive thoughts that cannot be squashed by cosplay or fantasies of royal splendor. They had a chance to move on with the times and make it work, they didn’t and I do not see how they come back from that. Even as traditional as the Queen was, she knew when to bend even if a bit to the wind of change. As Confucius said, “ The grass must bend when the wind blows across it “.

The RF has never regained their luster since Diana. As much as there has been an aggressive all out PR campaign really night and day to make William and Kate as big as she was, it’s not the same. They are popular but they are nothing like her. Bless them, nobody can be.

@barbarabarbour6833 2 ай бұрын

I agree. Certain members of the RF have revered status in the public mind, certainly the late Queen. However, the difference is that Diana was universally loved. I can think of no other member of the RF - now or long gone - who truly qualifies in that way. The bar has been set too high since the death of Diana. Therefore there is only one way for the royals to go: down. The end of deference.

I’m an American and I always commented on the Royals and that they are people just like us. They have marital arguments, they sit on the toilet the same way we did.They aren’t Angels from heaven. I believe that a lot happens in their lives and that they are more worried about presenting the Royals as perfect rather than real. I have seen Princess Catherine appearing so tired sometimes and I have commented On that and said she’s got 3 children as well. Family first and Royal first both are impossible. Sell the diamonds and solve hunger, homelessness, drug rehabs , aftercare, day care and take care of the poverty in Africa, Jamaica etc… I’m happy that King Charles is trying to modernize the Royals and have less waste. But history repeats itself and it has.

@wendyturney8914 Ай бұрын

We could sell all these things to oligarchs and such people but it would solve hunger, homelessness, etc. very temporarily. It is unlikely, human nature being what it is, that we will ever have enough homes, drug therapy or money to solve poverty either here or abroad. Obviously we should try but the solutions have to be more than a quick fix. I could stand near a motorway and view hundreds of expensive vehicles and pass many huge expensive homes and know that British money is not evenly distributed but it will take all of us, not just the royal family, to solve it. Every major company has bosses that take millions in bonuses.
