OPINION: Kate, Wills, Harry, Charlotte, Queen Elizabeth, George. No matter where I turn, the royal family are there.
Charity events, tennis matches, Royal visits, openings, closings: you name it and there they are, pursued by the media.
And people in the United Kingdom love them, which is quite a turn around. When Princess Diana died in 1997, the royal family’s popularity plummeted and most people thought the monarchy wouldn’t survive another 50 years.
