I love the earrings but am now more than ever concerned about the Royal Family and its future. I see the family as an embodiment to unity, positive prospects, civil duty and an encouragement to people of all walks of life.

What I am getting is all a kind of Dynasty/ Knots Landing/ Falcon Crest/ Hollywood melodramas and this is signaling the windup of this historic and regal institution if they do not pull back now.

The British government needs to be now more clear as to the role they want to have the royals fill, they cannot continue to pump money into all of this kind of showmanship.

I am not saying the royals have to be robots or some kind of perfect creature, they just need to focus on their civic duty and not feed into the media arena, unless all of their efforts will seem like a game but with rewards of living high off the hog.

Regards,

Dave.
