Being a Traditionalist isn’t going to help Will and Kate in the long run. The demo they are appealing too will probably be dead by the time he becomes King. Will needs goodwill with the Youth because they will be the majority once he becomes King. Harry is going out there and doing it. I think he and Kate are underestimating Harry and Meghan’s appeal and ability to connect with people. They might not ever be King and Queen but in the end, they probably won’t need to be. 2/?
outh, Vets, Women/Girls, and probably HIV/AIDS. Those are some hot demos and good places to build from. Will and Kate have mental health but I can’t name much else. Harry has Invictus on his own. They need to cover more ground. It says a lot that the star of this Commonwealth week looks to be Prince Harry. The Queen has put a lot of trust and faith in him. That hasn’t been extended fully to William 3/3.
Maybe, but I doubt. it. This is exactly what they did with Andrew’s “trade ambassador role,” where he had a British trade organization backing him up and he was supposedly going to sell the UK brand because the royal name added so much glamour and he was supposedly so popular overseas. In the end it was just a big slush fund that paid for his golf trips and Club Med holidays. LOL, the Prime Minister at the time also had “enormous confidence” in Andrew
Trade was the big thing in 2000 and in 2018 the big thing is “youth.” Harry likes Africa so he gets the Commonwealth and not the Middle East. Cue huge amounts of “learning” and “listening” trips to Africa.
If they really meant to turn this into a meaningful position, they really should have called it something else. “Ambassador” is what they roll out whenever they don’t know what to do with one one of their miscreants. Harry, for example, was briefly “foreign ambassador” after his Vegas antics.
