About the British monarchy... After Prince Harry left the UK, there were all these articles springing up in my Twitter timeline about how the monarchy couldn't survive it. /1
I kept thinking, "What the fuck is that all about? Why does Prince Harry need to be there for the monarchy to survive?"
Prince Charles managed to survive his disastrous marriage and other shit with very good PR and by being present and--to be fair--out-working everyone else. /2

But since Prince Harry has left, I realized something: Prince William is a fucking disaster. /3
Prince William is a charisma vacuum.
Prince Charles, love him or not, has some charm. Princess Diana just had a lot more charm than Charles. But you'd have been drawn to either in a room.
Prince William has the opposite effect. There's something repugnant about him. /4

Prince William keeps saying the worst things. He tries to hide his views with PR, but his views slip out whenever he opens his stupid mouth. /5
That's why courtiers are screaming to the press that the monarchy can't survive without Prince Harry in the fold; Prince Harry needs to be there to be the actual "People's King" to counter his brother's constant fuck ups. /6
"Oh, he said that, but Harry's still there behind him!" /7
(Note the dearth of editorials stating that it's a shame that Charles won't have the guidance of Prince Andrew when he becomes king...) /8
