There has been quite a lot of comment about the “split” of the Foundation. Just some of my thoughts:
• At one level, I am sad to see the split. To me, it is clear that this was not the grand design, and it was intended that the 4 would work together in the medium term. If that was not the case, Meghan would not have joined the foundation, or the communication from KP at the time of the wedding would have been different.
• Be that as it may, if the family has come to the view that working closely together may not work for them, I am glad they have moved decidedly and swiftly to separate the two.
• As some posters have pointed out, I remain concerned about “rival” Foundations from the BRF, and if they may get in the way of each other’s fund raising. I hope they can work out a workable path between themselves.
• Causes as to why things within the family have so quickly come to such a point could be many. Personally, I do not see much point in speculating on these causes as none of us really know what is going on. However, that Meghan grew up without any siblings and a broader family around her, pursued a career that was about her individual performance and not a team effort (not a criticism, but just a statement of fact) would suggest she probably found it difficult to adjust to the environment. William, Harry and Catherine had clearly been able to work well beforehand.
