They also are carrying out their duties at a time when the idea of royalty seems outdated to many, and when some members of the British Commonwealth are eager to break away. CNN The people of Ukraine are “ready to suffer” through a potentially dark and cold winter as long as Russian troops are still occupying Ukraine’s territory, the country’s infrastructure minister told CNN on Friday. "There's a slight serious point to this, and Harry's mentioned it before, and now William's campaigning more and more on environmental matters," Ship said. The couple — like William’s father King Charles III — are having to modernize the monarchy in real time, out of a sense of duty and respect for their ancestors and because they need the institution to survive. According to a survey by the British Social Attitudes, 14 percent of those under 35 feel the monarchy is not very important, in comparison to the 44 percent of those aged 55 and older who feel it was key for the country. But they also understand that the attacks on the infrastructure are aimed at making people’s lives more complicated, he said. But preserving the crown is a difficult task. "But you know, that's their choice. Over the last four decades, the monarchy has seen major shifts — pre-1980s, the Firm was a dusty establishment with no real zhuzh. “We are fighting for our country.” Alec Baldwin paid tribute to cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, seen here in 2019, who died last year on the set of the movie "Rust. Their image was so old-fashioned that they agreed to a television documentary in 1969, letting cameras into their daily lives and breaking the so-called fourth wall.  The renowned English presenter David Attenborough, who controlled the channel BBC 2 at the time, insinuated that the film could have kill the monarchy because “the whole institution depends on a mystique and the tribal chief in his hut. Ukrainian officials warned earlier this week that both emergency and scheduled blackouts would follow. If any members of the tribe ever sees inside the hut, then the whole system of the tribal chiefdom is damaged and the tribe eventually disintegrates.” Queen Elizabeth got the message: She later had the documentary banned. A top priority for Ukraine now is to maintain connectivity between different regions for military and humanitarian transport, while also keeping the energy infrastructure running, Kubrakov told CNN.

By the time Diana died, the lives of the royals had become a British soap opera, and the monarchy’s future was again under threat. Office of President of Ukraine Three members of the US House Intelligence Committee met with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv on Friday. Many Diana supporters questioned whether Charles should even be king and castigated his behavior and relationship with Camilla Parker Bowles. But William and Middleton, who married in 2011, represented a fresh start, a couple with a happy marriage that was going to do things differently and try not repeat the mistakes of the past. Standing close to the site of a recent drone attack on a power plant in Kyiv, Rep. No criminal charges have been filed. It has not been easy for William in particular. He is ferociously loyal to the Firm, in public and private.” “We all felt it was really important that we be here on a bipartisan basis to make an unmistakable statement that the people of the United States and the government of the United States stands with the people and with the government of Ukraine,” said Himes, a Democrat. His marriage is a unified front; his philanthropic causes are aligned with Middleton’s; and he has been vocal when it comes to defending the institution he’s been brought up in.  But the family can’t seem to escape one misstep after another. Mike Turner said “there is strong bipartisan support for Ukraine, and it will continue,” when asked by CNN whether US aid to Ukraine in November’s midterm elections. There was Prince Andrew’s scandalous involvement with sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein that tarnished the entire monarchy.

Harry and Markle’s public row with the family only made matters worse.

It’s clear to them that just being royals by association no longer cuts it, especially for the younger generation that’s growing up with them. There is no rulebook or template to follow. There’s Britain as a country at hand, as well as the Commonwealth, which from time to time challenges the monarchy.  For example, in November 2021 Barbados voted to remove the queen as its head of state.

It is about serving and supporting them in whatever way they think best, by using the platform we are lucky to have,” it said. Despite the couple modeling themselves after the queen, it can only go so far. The old adage of “never complain, never explain” is not one that works for the present-day royals.  Being silent in the age of using and finding one’s voice can mark them as complicit. In their new roles, William and Middleton are looking to amplify their voices rather than hushing them. They have embraced their social media channels to relay their messages and the causes they care about. In 2021, Middleton paid tribute to Sarah Everard, a 33-year-old woman who was murdered, by writing her family a heartfelt letter and attending her vigil off-duty, a move of great compassion that her late mother-in-law often showed to the public. Lord William Hague, chair of the couple’s charity, The Royal Foundation, told Sky News: “Certainly in the royal foundation, we’re not changing tone, you know. If anything, we’re going up another gear with a tone that’s well established of how to help with certain issues of some of society’s deepest problems where we need to bring people together to work on. ” He added that despite the royal family being non-political, it’s “absolutely right for a royal family that’s engaged with the world and wants to help people and serve people to get involved with.” The Age of Elizabeth II has ended, with its highs and lows. What’s to come will be different from what history has witnessed. Tags .
