British Royal Family

Crown and Circumstance: The Modern British Royal Family

Between the exit of the Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry, the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, and an ever-growing media and conspiracy spotlight, the British Royal Family stands at a crossroads between tradition and modernity. This committee will explore the future makeup and role of this thousand-year-old institution as it navigates an increasingly progressive future. Will the Royal Family be able to reform its reputation and adapt for future generations, or will it grow irrelevant, becoming a relic of historical English society?
