She is in her 90s and cannot step into anything: she is revered but not in charge of the future. The power lies with the powerful - a young strong-willed TV celebrity, a popular Prince, current fashionable ideas, good public relations. A powerful mix. <br /><br />"Get jobs?" Let us pray not. Of course there are potential job offers galore for this immensely powerful couple: any fashion house, TV show, PR firm or whatever would relish buying their names and influence and offer lashings of money to employ them...we must be grateful that their own immense wealth presumably precludes them from feeling any need to acquire more.<br /><br />We must hope that the voice of public opinion may be heard: the Queen's magnificent example of duty and public service is honoured by us all, precisely because it is so different from fashion and popularity and the notion and lifestyle of being a celebrity. The new generation of Royals must somehow be helped to understand that.<br /><br />JoannaJoanna Boglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00657573606200891390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33970956.post-80869906958267203752019-10-07T18:07:27.542+01:002019-10-07T18:07:27.542+01:00I'm an American, Mrs. Bogle so unsure about th...I'm an American, Mrs. Bogle so unsure about this but can't the Queen (whom i admire tremendously) not step in? Can she forbid them from further royal duties? If they want to be left alone, let's do it. They can get jobs like the rest of us.
