The Royal Family Drama

The big news is the royal family. Harry and Meghan are moving to the New World and have been "relieved" of their royal duties. 

Who cares? 

Americans' very existence as citizens is based on the idea that our forefather rejected the king, the distant ancestors (with some family finagling--the Windsors are descendants of Victoria, a German niece of .... well,you get the point). We should not care, but we do asks questions, have opinions, read the click bait.  

I think  we take our sides in the drama based on our own family experience.  Every family has one or more of these:

The new bride who doesn’t like the groom’s family and slowly—or quickly—tries to get him away from them.

The parent who sees their child as ungrateful.

The  young couple that wants some space from a close-knit family that wants to control their time.

The grandmother who has worked hard for her legacy and doesn’t want it dismissed.

The son of divorced parents who sides with the mother against the father's side. 

The child who doesn't want to follow in the family business. 

On one side, Harry seems like a spoiled child. On the  other, the Queen seems vindictive. Harry served in the military pretty impressively, and his military appointments have been removed form him. On the one side, Meghan seems like a piece of work. On the other, he should have been more careful about what he got into. 

Like I know something!  Like any of us do!
