Every time I feel a twinge of sympathy for the Royal Family, I remember: they undergo these hardships while living lives of incredible wealth, luxury and privilege.
People are visiting food banks, worrying about how to pay rent, feed children and access medicine after Brexit.

Call me cynical: it seems to me that everyone in the Royal Family wants it both ways: to enjoy a peaceful, private life away from the public eye, while holidaying on private islands via private jets, and spend millions refurbishing mansions, all on the taxpayer's dime, of course.
"But they do lots for charities!"
It's easy to do a lot for charity (and be photographed doing it) when you don't have to hold down a full time job or two to ensure your family have a roof over their heads and food in their bellies.
