This is such a cliche life story; single mom with deadbeat dad, married into a wealthy family, the child from the first relationship has a hard time adjusting to the new life and does bad stuff. Not really unique to a royal family. I bet the Queen is not happy though. I hope he is prosecuted to the fullest extent of their laws.
Side note: it’s crazy that we still even have royal families. Why haven’t we just eaten these families and spread their wealth around? Seems like such an ancient relic, considering a family to be ‘royal’.

Because some places public institutions are harder to ruin when they are prefixed with “THE ROYAL INSTITUTE OF X” and the family would like to remain on the public’s good side so they don’t act like shitheads, lest the republicans remove them.
In the UK, the republican movement was tempered by a queen that knew to keep her mouth shut. There were doubts that Charles would finish it off by being unpresentable.
On the flipside, Thailand.
On the other other hand, Bezos answers to no one whatsoever.
