They're typically thought of as being incredibly privileged but it's a weird privilege where you get all the wealth you'll ever need but your life has been decided for you, you have to perform to the whims of an entire nation and it Government while all your transgressions are national news.

There's lot of people in the country that struggle more than the Royals. However we don't always hear about all their issues....
The royals could resign and lead a quiet life. Few do and those that tend to give tv interviews/ write books, then complain about privacy. Harry's no worse than the rest of them , and the abuse and racial hatred and media campaign against his wife is obscene, but they aren't totally blameless.
The whole lot of them are irrelevant to the issues facing Britain today. Get rid and move on. Call it 'taking back control' if you like. Where' s Oliver Cromwell when you need him ?
