You see Cherie for me..
I think the Royal life must be really weird.

To any outsider going into it, to have their natural personalities made more robotic.
I doubt anything before really becoming entrenched into the set up, in the ' firm ' as it was termed, that you could ever be prepared for the reality.

I think it's hard enough for those born into it.
I mean, Princess Margaret was quite rebellious as the Queen's Sister.
Princess Anne made many gaffes too although I really think she found the balance of being her own person while dutifully performing as a Royal too.

Diana and Sarah Ferguson threatened the ' Royal protocol set up ',they found themselves just about hounded out.

It must be really difficult pretending to like or get along with people you cannot.

So for me, while I think the Royal set up needs dragging into the 21st century, while I remain a Royalist certainly.

I can understand pressures, particularly on any outsider joining becoming just too intense.

It's why I choose not to.judge them too harshly.

As to these 2, well married couples make their beds and have to lie in them.
So again all I do is wish them well.
I totally support them both, protecting and looking out for their child against media or any unnecessary intrusion to their, as private as it can get, life.

Equally to the Cambridge's too.
They represent the dutiful side of the Royals..
However it doesn't have to be that Brothers and their wives have to get along.

Across the Country, there will be families with daughters in law not getting on with each other, uneasy truces between Brothers and the rest of the family.
Even Mother's and Father's not getting on with their in laws family.

The fact things gets so stifled in Royalty only likely adds to the pressure in my view

Of course they can choose to step back but I'd hate to live the Royal life.
