imho you vastly overestimate what the royals do, especially W,K. etc. 99% of their job is simply showing up, properly dressed, behaving themselves and it helps if they’ve read their briefing notes. The staff bureaucracy–which is huge–does 99.99% of the work. One of the organization’s I’m very familiar with is the Prince’s Trust. It’s a good organization, in spite of and not because of Charles. Brf is surviving by following orders of the smarter power structure which props it up.

Oh, this is a very good point. Tons of stuff happens behind the scenes.

But the royals do have an effect. For example, I bet the new charity restructuring Charles is doing will be a complete disaster with Michael Fawcett as its head and less donations and appearances by the Prince.

True, but I suspect they’re restructuring since he’s not going to be Prince of Wales for two more decades.
