The only reason why it was tolerated in the past 50 years was because of tourism.

It's a monarchy, people get put into an absurdly privileged and powerful position just for being born in a specific family. And then there is a whole industry focused on documenting their disfunctional life.

It just sucks for anyone involved but maybe the tourists, even the royals themselves.
