What does the decision of Harry tell us and remind us of
The world counts 43 monarchies and Great Britain’s queen rules and is the regning monarch and head of states of 16 countries.
Harry and Meghan decided to step down from their role and become Senior Members. They will from now on have the right to work and receive salaries for any work they will do.
The most popular royal after the Queen is Harry! This made the news astonishing to the british. In this era of democracy, individualism, freedom and equality it is still quiet interesting that an institution such as the monarchy is revered.
Some of this legitimization comes from a feeling of old glory and powerful past, which can be anachronic knowing that most people are trying to break from the colonial past.
At the same time what is to be watched closely is how a member of the Royal family is ready to leave everything behind for a « more normal « life. Isnt it the sign that it is time to break away from it for us all?
Several sources came up with estimations and information about how much the Royal Family cost the UK, how much they are worth and each member earns. It was quiet disturbing to learn that the Queen 10 Millions of euros to tax payers and prince Charles give Harry 1million of euros yearly.
Why is the monarchy still in vigor ? And what does it says about the other monarchies still exisiting?
We will follow up the story, study other monarchies and their Royal families.
