Here's an example of how I think she's shooting herself in the foot with this interview. She thinks she sounds reasonable by saying how restricted she was before, versus how liberated she now is to speak for herself. She doesn't sound reasonable at all actually because that's the deal when you become a working member of the BRF. That's the deal. She signed up to those restrictions, that protocol and that system without anyone forcing her. In return for the influential position and the huge privileges, you relinquish your right to voice an unvetted opinion for years until you reach the status of 'National Treasure' or become heir to the throne.
Yes, exactly! She chose to marry into the Royal Family. No one forced her. And, when you marry into the RF, you agree to abide by certain rules. Given the difficulties that Diana and Sarah had, I cannot imagine that those rules were not explained to her. I believe she just thought she could change them, but you don't change a 1000 yr old institution who has been successful because they have abided by those rules.
