Lately, my love for, interest in, and patience with the BRF has been failing. I used to be interested in the activities of HM and her descendants and chatted with my friends about which of us wanted to marry Wills and which preferred Harry etc. (I'm in the Wills camp). I also thought that, despite monarchies being somewhat out-dated, the BRF was worth having around. Now I'm just frustrated with them.
I realize some of them do a lot in terms of charity work but it all seems to be the same - going to galas in pretty outfits and cutting ribbons. I wish they would get more creative. Charles has been doing a lot of talking about global warming - which is great - but why aren't they putting solar panels on BP and switching their cars to hybrids? (I know they are doing organic food at BP). I feel that they could be doing a lot more work to aggressively combat world issues - while still remaining politically neutral. I guess I'm just really disappointed they haven't been using the free publicity that comes with their celebrity to do much. (I know, Harry founded a charity, but they all could be doing a lot more).
As for Will, I feel I never hear from him unless he is complaining about how unfair it is that he gets so much attention and there are so many pressures on him, etc. I get that he didn't choose to be born William Arthur Philip Louis but I think it's time for him to grow up and accept the responsibility. I wish the seniors of the family would be harsher with the boys in terms of discipline and respectable behavior in general. All of those pictures of them drunk and stumbling outside clubs is what really started turning my opinion. I'm also very dissappointed in Kate. As far as I know, she didn't get a job until she was 24 or 25 and that job was given to her by her daddy's friend, and being an accessories purchaser (I think that's what she is) does not sound like a very intellectual job. I'm not saying she has to do something amazing and unique but she doesn't seem to have an interest in the world or charity (yes, I know she did one charity fashion show a while ago). She also only worked 4 days a week to be at darling Wills' beck and call. Again, I'm not expecting her to be saving the world but it would be nice if she did more than vacation with Will all the time on taxpayer money.
If I was British I would be very annoyed with this family. I heard today Kate is getting a new job so I hope that shows a more promising side of her.
If you've made it this far, thanks. This is directed mostly to the BRF but also all constitutional monarchies. They need to start reinventing themselves if they want to remain relevant in this century.
Wow, I didn't mean for my first post to be so long and negative so I'd like to hear other opinions to hopefully re-ignite my interest.
Also, does anyone know if there is a website like Danish Royal Watchers for the BRF (with regular updates on activities etc.)?
