Great! I’m reading “Spare” too. The personal constrictions being in The Firm imposes on the Royals' life choices are shot through every part of how they must behave and live. You are so right.

To me, it has been a surprise to clock even a little of the Royal meltdown over Harry and his decision to be free of it. It looks bad if it’s true that Harry’s shunned —even at the Queen’s funeral.

I'll say it: I feel bad for the dude! Can he live?

I even feel bad for William and Kate. They seem to have swallowed the dogma whole; I hope it makes for fulfilling lives for them.

A very powerful opening sequence in The Crown focuses on Charles at Cambridge in Shakespeare’s “Richard II” as the King. His opening lines are wrenching.

The Windsors and Shakespeare are the perfect lock-an—key dramas. Do you agree?
