Prince Harry aside, the royals excel at hiding information about themselves – and this prevents them being held to account, says Jemimah Steinfeld, editor in chief of Index on Censorship
============================================
To a large extent, the popularity of the Royal Family is diminishing, but there are still many who will support the Royal Family to their dying day, both their own and the Royal Families.
While I do believe there is far too much secrecy I don’t, surprisingly, wish for the abolition of the Royal Family, just the opposite, just wish for less secrecy.
Many people do feel the Royal Family does no wrong, but as we all are, we are all human and mere mortals and the Royal Family is just the same, but so much richer and so privileged.
The secrecy needs to be lifted so that we will all know what they are all about and the Family does need to be so much more streamlined, which King Charles III has promised to do, but not I expect to the extent that it should be.
Other countries’ Royalties have done so and so should ours.
