What are the rules about politics & royalty? Anyone know?
I am under the impression that royalty should refrain from making political statements but beyond that my knowledge is lacking.
If I take away my loathing of TW (hard!) I still cannot see how a member of the BRF could in any way hold office in USA. Surely that would create some serious political issues? It makes me very uncomfortable about power being so openly abused.
I'm not sure but isn't there some kind of rule about titles if you're in public office? So she'd have to give hers up? Have no idea what Hazza would have to do but I can't see most Americans, whichever side of the political aisle they're on, being thrilled by a foreign Royal having any sort of connection to their politics. I wish he would become a US citizen so his titles/LOS would go and we wouldn't have to put up with any more of his antics/overshadowing attempts/tantrums, etc.
Today they've completely overshadowed a visit to Northern Ireland by the Wessexes. I know the media want the clickbait but still.
And we'll get a lot more of this from the Harkles unless they get more than a half-hearted pushback from the RF. Trawling around on Tumblr/Twitter does throw up some interesting stuff though. People think Charles doesn't care if they overshadow other Royals (including Camilla) so long as they don't overshadow him. Other people think TQ and PC have secretly given them some kind of deal.
Who knows what's true and what isn't, but this is the kind of talk that's out there. From Monarchy supporters who're fed up.
