I think I'm done with the British royal family

Call me naïve, but I have always liked royal houses. I believe they put everything they have into presenting their country in a good light. It's not an easy job, truly with a thousand advantages, but in the end: I don't envy them. Being viewed and criticized in that stuffy golden cage. So I found it impressive. And I also believe in the added value. But that English royal house, I had my doubts about it, but now that I am deep into The Crown season four, I am done with them. Just a summary of the intensely long here-my-mouth-fell-open-and-this-can't-be-true list.
1. That marrying off
Poor Diana, but even poor Charles. Trapped in rules.
2. That coldness towards their children
Elizabeth who still says with a sort of pride that she didn't see her children for five months because she went on a state visit to Australia or wherever. Give me Diana who insisted that William go with her.
3. That coldness towards their children 2
That Elizabeth asks her right-hand person to make appointments with her children and in preparation asks for a CV so she is well informed about their hobbies.
4. That coldness towards their children 3
That Elizabeth hears that her daughter Anne is a bit too close to a certain man and then has that person stationed somewhere far away so they can no longer see each other.
5. The criticism of Diana
If she does what is asked of her and charms the Australian people, she gets reprimanded for enjoying the attention too much.
6. Not wanting to lower the flag to half-mast when Diana passed away because she was no longer a member of the royal family.
No, but she is the mother of the future king.
7. Hiding two nieces with a developmental delay in a mental institution because the public must not think that you don't have a pure gene pool.
A disgusting thought in general, but they were also married-in nieces so no bloodline. Oh Elizabeth, where is your heart?
8. And with a small leap to the present. Still not distancing themselves from the actions of perverse Andrew.
Yes, his mugs and postcards are no longer for sale in your souvenir shops, but beyond that. Well, well, how long did you deliberate about that.
You know, I understand Harry and Meghan. That English royal house; wrap it up and get rid of it. Well, actually, just leave the wrap off.
