The press are having a field day in the UK over the latest royals scandal and conspiracy theorists will have a lot to chew on – Diana ready to convert to Islam – the Queen warning Diana’s butler of mysterious powers at work.
Every time the UK royal family picks itself up from humiliation, they are beaten down again by the press. I can’t help thinking that this is an inevitable feature of an anachronistic institution, that was artificially bolstered by Victorian politicians from terminal decline. Lest anyone forget, the royals are no strangers to PR, the very name Windsor was invented to divert attention from the rather German sounding Saksen-Coburg.
