Royal Drama

The royal family has had an intense history of drama and controversy along with their great ability to lead. There has always been tabloid fodder: From Prince Charles' sordid affair with Camilla Parker-Bowles to Sarah Ferguson being caught taking bribes for access to the royal family.

At the moment, the biggest interest in the royal family is the dynamic between the royals and the Sussexes. Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle stepped down as senior royals after the incredible amount of abuse they took from the public, the lack of emotional support and racist targeting from the "firm" they received. 

We will have to say if the relationships will be able to mend. Many are hopeful as there has been a massive royal baby boom and the commonwealth are excited to watch them grow up together.
