The latest development with Meghan's Netflix cooking show. Jenny Bond has reported that, while most of the royal family won't be watching it (and honestly, why would they?), Beatrice and Eugenie might just tune in. And doesn't that tell you everything you need to know about where their loyalties lie? These two princesses, who have benefitted from their royal status their entire lives, seem completely blind to the damage their cousin Harry and his wife have caused to the very institution that has given them everything. It's as though they’re living in some alternate reality where trashing your family on global television is perfectly acceptable behavior.
You see, my dear viewers, this goes far beyond just watching a Netflix show. It’s about loyalty, understanding your position, and respecting the institution that has given you everything. King Charles has been remarkably patient up until now, but even patience has its limits. Let’s talk about Eugenie’s little trips to California, shall we? While the rest of the family was dealing with the fallout from Harry and Meghan’s constant attacks, there she was, casually visiting them as if nothing had happened. As if her uncle, King Charles, hadn’t been accused of racism on global television, or her cousin William hadn’t been painted as a villain, or her future Queen Catherine hadn’t been dragged through the mud with that ridiculous crying story.
And what's really interesting is the attempt to draw parallels between Harry’s situation and their father’s. Let me be very clear here: Prince Andrew’s situation is entirely of his own making. The comparison isn’t just inappropriate—it’s downright insulting to the intelligence of everyone who has been following these events.
Here’s where it gets even more fascinating: these princesses seem to think they can play both sides, maintaining their royal status and privileges while cozying up to the very people trying to undermine the institution that gave them those privileges. Let me tell you something—this is not how it works. King Charles has been very clear in his leadership since ascending to the throne. The monarchy needs to be streamlined, focused, and united. You cannot have family members playing both sides and trying to keep a foot in each camp—it simply doesn’t work.
Now, let's talk about the idea that the royal family is helpless to prevent contact with Harry and Meghan. That’s not the issue here at all. It’s not about preventing contact; it’s about loyalty. It’s about knowing what's appropriate and where your true allegiance should lie. What strikes me is the complete lack of awareness from Beatrice and Eugenie. It’s as though they’ve forgotten that their positions, their privileges, everything they have, comes from being part of the royal family—an institution that their cousins in Montecito have been actively trying to tear down.
I’ve always had a soft spot for these girls as I’ve watched them grow up, but this behavior? This inability to understand the bigger picture? It's deeply disappointing. It’s like they’ve completely lost perspective on what really matters. They’re not just letting down King Charles; they’re letting down the future of the monarchy. Prince William and Catherine are working tirelessly to modernize the institution while maintaining its dignity and traditions, and what are Beatrice and Eugenie doing? Playing nice with the very people who’ve tried to tear it all down.
What’s really telling is the timing of all this. Just as King Charles is working to streamline and strengthen the monarchy, just as William and Catherine are showing what modern royalty should look like, we have these two princesses seemingly determined to undermine all that hard work. Let’s talk about loyalty. Real loyalty isn’t just about showing up when it’s convenient. It’s about standing with your family when they’re under attack, even when it’s tough.
King Charles has made difficult decisions for the greater good of the monarchy, and you simply can’t run an institution like this while allowing some family members to play both sides. This isn’t a game. It’s a legacy that requires commitment and loyalty. Watching all this unfold has been fascinating from a historical perspective. We’re witnessing in real-time how a modern monarch navigates dealing with family members who are unable or unwilling to understand their proper role within such an institution.
And let’s be honest—this isn’t about watching a Netflix show. This is about a pattern of behavior that shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what it means to be part of the royal family. You can’t support people who are actively trying to undermine the monarchy and expect to maintain your position within it. Some people try to paint this as some sort of family drama, but let’s set the record straight: this isn’t about family squabbles. It’s about the future of an institution that has served this country for centuries. Sometimes, tough decisions need to be made for the greater good.
Now, about these supposed similarities between Harry’s situation and their father’s—it’s completely ridiculous. Harry chose to walk away, chose to attack his family publicly, and chose to monetize his royal connections. That's entirely different from Andrew’s situation, which was about accountability for his own actions.
The really sad part of all this is that Beatrice and Eugenie had an opportunity to show real leadership and understanding of their position, but instead, they’re trying to play this dangerous game of keeping everyone happy. And that’s simply not possible in this situation. King Charles’ vision for a streamlined, focused monarchy is clear, and parts of that vision require making tough decisions about who’s in and who’s out.
Leadership means making hard choices for the long-term good of the institution, and that’s exactly what we’re seeing from King Charles. As for William and Catherine, they are showing the world exactly what modern royalty should look like. And then we have family members who seem determined to undermine all that hard work. The contrast is striking. On one side, you have William and Catherine, who understand their roles and carry them out with dignity and grace, and on the other side, you have members of the family who think they can play by their own rules.
I’ve been following royal dynamics for many years now, and I’ve never seen anything like this. The level of division and the inability of certain family members to understand their roles is unprecedented. What we’re seeing is a defining moment for the monarchy. It’s about setting boundaries, understanding responsibilities, and ensuring the monarchy remains respected and relevant for generations to come.
