I agree. I think having the responsibility of a wife and son now could trigger PTSD from his mother’s death. He could be dealing with issues surrounding his mother’s death that he never even realized were issues with him. JMO MOO

MOO Things seemed to ramp up with Harry after the birth of Archie. That is totally understandable. I think all parents become very protective of their children but with Harry's very unique & public past traumas, this is his way of coping. Of course I don't know this for sure because I don't know him personally. Just thinking out loud.

It’s quite possible IMO that this is what is behind the “stepping back.” It would be very difficult to deal with these issues while maintaining a full schedule. Time will tell, whether they will “disappear” for awhile or jump into a celebrity life as some believe they will.

I'm hoping if the Cambridge's are able to attend this spring's state banquet that Catherine either wears a completely different tiara or debuts some major jewels in another way.

I think parenthood often makes things seem different generally. A heightened sense of responsibility and vulnerability.

She'll look stunning and suitably regal whatever she wears. We could do with some nice shiny new events and photos to look at!

I’m waiting for the pearl choker with the large sapphire broach Diana created - it’s my very favorite piece

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry plan to become 'financially independent' upon stepping back from royal life. Here's how much the British royal family is worth.

• In 2019, the sovereign grant amounted to $104 million.
• United Kingdom - Total population 2014 to 2024 | Statista
  
• 66.44 million population
  
• ——-
• I wonder how many are actually taxpayers ?

The latest figures say it was £1.24 per person last year

The Royal Family cost each of us £1.24 last year. This is why

Not sure about the number of taxpayers

I can't view the pics on that link unfortunately, but do you mean this one? Has it never been worn by anyone since Diana?

That’s the one. @Keine Engel could probably answer that question in a heartbeat.

So the core spend was 74p last year but we paid an extra 50p each for the refurb of Buck House. I am SO gonna nick some loo roll if I ever go there, to recoup my extra pennies.

If they've upgraded the Werthers to Freddos there will be a revolution

On a serious note re the "cost". We get a v good return on our investment in terms of tourism income, don't we?!

SAY WHAT ???

I'm in BC ... if the Sussexes move to our fine province, I shall try to cosey up to them and invite them to join. Tricia or beach will have the very interesting job of verifying them

I don't believe that I've ever heard Camilla speak, and not sure if I've ever heard Anne either. Both speaking here. Just came across this and thought to share here

We'll send you some Freddos for bartering power

Their annual impact on tourism is estimated at £550 million and the increase in trade as a result of official missions and diplomatic trips conducted by various members of the family representing the country overseas is set at £150 million a year.

I can’t remember ever hearing her speak, either.

I’m surprised by how deep her voice is.
