The Royal Family should be apologising for what they did to Princess Diana, not getting into a war of words with Netflix. SO out of touch.

The Crown must be defended at all costs. Against Diana. Against Netflix. Against modernity.

Yea of course it should be defended, but as history has proved, The Monarchy has only been made stronger by modernity. Prince Phillips’ once novel use of television was frowned upon in the 1950s, today it’s the norm and has helped to save the monarchy making it accessible. 1/3

TV helped to quell the 1997 crisis following Di’s death after HM Queen’s live broadcast and tribute to Di on the Friday before the Funeral after a week of rising republicanism and anti-monarchy sentiment. 2/3

Princess Diana’s controversial campaigning and charity work for AIDS sufferers and other charities in the 90s along with her down to Earth and approachable style, was slammed for breaking protocol. Now it’s the norm for the Windsors, They owe her for helping them survive 3/3

Changing traditional to a modernist norm is nothing to celebrate. Look around.

Not major changes, but small adaptions to old convention can be positive. IMO - When there’s a Royal Wedding look how many come out, see the global ratings - sometimes slight modernity helps to conserve years old institutions.

Right but that assumes that catering to people’s changing tastes is a good thing. Institutions like the monarchy exist to keep us tied to history. Not to make us feel good or like the people.
