Everyone references Christopher Geidt being sacked from BP but few consider the staff turnover at KP that happened concurrently in 2017/2018. They brought in new Private Secretaries for William, Kate, & Harry within months of Harry & Meghan’s engagement announcement. 1/
That level of turnover in senior mgmt creates a leadership vacuum in any organization. This was also just as William & Kate moved to London to take on full-time royal duties. Add in Meghan’s introduction as a senior principal in the KP household & it was a recipe for disaster. 2/
Egos, insecurities, cultural differences, & inexperience all culminated in an epic power play w/in the royal household. Will & Kate solidified their place in the line of succession. Harry & Meghan left royal life & by 2020 so had the KP courtiers who put their exit in motion. 3/
The #RoyalTourCaribbean is a disaster. Terrible optics, overtones of colonialism. Desire to lose the monarchy had risen by 20%in Jamaica over 10 years to 62%. #BLM, #Windrush. The world has changed. But this tour proceeded as if it was 1932 not 2022. Catastrophic. 
It has succeeded in accelerating desire of countries to break away from the monarchy and left people in the UK questioning how appropriate such tours are.
When Harry and Meghan asked to step back from the royal model, half earn their own money, half represent the Queen, they said they wished to do Commonwealth Tours. Told no. Riiight….
