Lewis Goodall, in an article published by The New Statesman, highlighted the plight of King Charles and Kate Middleton, describing them as constantly under public scrutiny and unable to maintain personal privacy despite their attempts to do so.
He elaborated on the paradox of the royal lifestyle, acknowledging the luxury and opulence they enjoy but also emphasizing the suffocating nature of their position, where personal autonomy is sacrificed for the sake of duty and representation.
Reflecting on the morality of this arrangement, the journalist questioned the perpetuation of such a system, where individuals are essentially born into a role they cannot opt out of, regardless of their personal desires or struggles.
The recent health crises faced by members of the royal family, including King Charles and the Princess of Wales battling cancer, only serve to underscore the complexities and challenges inherent in their position.
