Comments

Selim: it's telling she referred to them as citizens rather than royals wasn't expecting that level of clarity on a sensitive topic
Junelund: Sounds like someone needs a course on modern PR, not to mention some actual diplomacy skills
Vanta Onyx: I think it's interesting that King Charles would choose to clarify their status like this publicly, especially considering the recent changes in the monarchy
Cleo: what even is their status now, just floating somewhere between royalty and being some rich person's brand
Arlo: they're being too subtle in their outrage now
Obsidian Echo: what's interesting is that their royal status seems to be changing right as they start to assert themselves publicly again
Fathom Specter: They think being private citizens means no scrutiny? Come on, royal family, reality check needed here. What exactly do you call publicly weighing in on global issues for decades?
Dusk Cipher: it's funny how suddenly they're both "private citizens" when it suits him to distance himself
Arlo: don't see how a royal family's internal drama is newsworthy but I suppose this does say something interesting about their future role in the monarchy
