BRITISH ROYALTY SHORTAGES A BLOW?

Michael from Trentham

Cannot help but feel sorry for the Brits and the current shortages they are suffering from some of the Royals being unavailable through health and behavioural issues.

So the multitude of ones that are up and ready are being overtaxed in the workload they have taken on which had already been "heavy".

I just wonder how the many countries without royalty or such noticeable/prominent royalty, survive daily life. NZ is one. Few know who our royalty-rep (GovGen) is nor have seen her in action. Are we missing something?

Nostradamus, famous for his predictions over the last four centuries and into the future has a prophesy interpreted that Harry and Meghan will take over the role of King & his consort in the UK. That seems less an improbable scenario right now.
