We will just have to wait and see. Things seem to be chugging along for now even in the wake of the Sussex flounce. The Brits don't seem to want them back as much as the Americans get whipped up into a frenzy over them. The Royal Family has made it this far and survived many other crises and general support doesn't seem to be wavering. |
You’re acting like the Sussexes actually wanted to stay and put in the hard work. |
General support isn’t wavering? In the past twelve months they’ve lost one commonwealth country and Scotland seems to be on their way out as well. I agree the brits don’t want the Sussexs back but it is naive to think they aren’t going to have quite the crisis when QEII dies. She still puts up a lot of numbers at 95 years old. |
Oprah isn’t H&M’s family. Oprah and H&M are partners in making money. As long as the ratings and money keep rolling in, Oprah and H&M will get along well. |
Polls don't show general support for he Royal family wavering. Scotland's issues aren't with the BRF. https://www.ipsos.com/ipsos-mori/en-uk/poll-finds-popularity-monarchy-remains-stable-among-britons |
| A few thoughts on the points expressed above, without repeating that extremely long set of quotes. They will manage with fewer royals until Will and Kate's kids grow up. The principals don't need to spend so much time cutting ribbons at every building opening-they can amplify their work with social media. Plus, a royal family with fewer active members will cost less which is good considering challenging times in Britain. |
They’re already trying that - their social media growth is stagnate without the Sussexs and the Cambridge-only YouTube channel is doing worse than a SAHM’s blog. |
Asking because I genuinely do not know- is it stagnant in the UK? Or is the UK happy with it- are the UK viewers watching it? I do think that the British will be happy to pay for less working royals and have less ribbon cutting ceremonies. |
Do heads of the nation need social media growth? |
IDK ask Donald Trump who has been cut off at the knees without his. As for the Cambridges future with social media - there was a question on whether or not the royal weddings/funerals/coronation should be televisized iin the 1950s as well. They didn't 'need' that newfangled contraption to reach the people. Now its commonplace. So common in fact that they're losing audience retention that used to automatically have. |
Donald Trump is head of nothing. Charles will be next monarch, not Will and Kate. The Queen doesn't seem to be suffering for her lack of social media presence. How is Joe Biden doing? |
DP, and I like the Cambridges. The Queen and Joe Biden both have social media. They don't have any presence comparable to DJT's Twitter account in its reach and pull, but they both use social media (Twitter, IG) regularly. I think it's savvy of the Cambridges to expand their social media presence; it's important for engagement with younger generations, which statistically aren't as attached to the royal family as older Britons. |
I just don’t see it. They are not popular amongst the youngest people so I think as they do less they will seem less and less useful to a population that has much less attachment to them. |
Donald Trump tweeted and tv-Ed his way to the presidency despite lack of experience and ability. Meanwhile Charles has spent the last year demanding Netflix add a “this is fictional” warning to a fictional show. Does not get it whatsoever. |
But this is the way it has always been and for whatever reason when those young people grow up they become nostalgic or something for the BRF. This is not a new phenomenon with disaffected youth. Look at all the youngish famous people who have accepted OBE or CBE recently. |
