This Bookworm video was a real revelation to me and explains a lot, and thanks
@Chita for your summary.
If Bookworm is right I'm even more convinced that PC is unsuitable to be King. If his narcissism has prevented him dealing with Minge and NoBalls then it explains why the same mistakes have been made again and again. Does allowing the Harkles to get away with murder just boil down to narcs ruling the RF roost and the Queen being frail and tired, Charles taking the easy option because he's spoilt, entitled and tin-eared like the Harkles? What a dog's dinner. It begs the question who's making the RF decisions?
Here I was thinking that there was a really important reason for the protection and enabling of the Snarkles, when it could turn out that it's all part of the same pattern of family behaviour. Cover up for them = cover up for yourself by ignoring it and blaming someone else. Don't expose the bullying, it will rock the boat....
PA must be a narcissist too, never learning any lessons because he was indulged by the RF despite years of public complaints about him hobnobbing with dodgy Kazakh tycoons and his vile behaviour. His self-important bug-eyed family are always in the news, most recently at a lavish wedding. Interesting that PA was only stopped by Epstein, having been allowed by the Queen to behave disgracefully for years and damage RF standing abroad in his position of Trade Envoy. When called to account he hid behind his mum.
Edward is dodgy too and is probably a discreet narc. Interesting that these odd men are fronted by strong women who make the narcissism less obvious - Camilla and Sophie for example. William's the only wholesome male there.
I certainly don't view the RF as I did before, as it seems to me that all their wounds are to a large extent self-inflicted, and set to continue in this macabre plot where we don't know who's the puppet and who's the puppet-master any more.
IF Bookworm is right, the RF deserve all they get and the "grey-rocking" is actually something else altogether, something not very pleasant that we thought was strong and dignified. That's
IF Bookworm is right, but I bet she is. Certainly for me some of the puzzle pieces have fallen into place.
Noballs and Minge have unwittingly shone their light on the RF regardless of the Bookworm video.
ETA @JAR21 can we wiki this Bookworm and Chita's post? It could turn out to be important.
