The royal family has had a difficult few years—the pandemic, the deaths of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, the scandal involving Prince Andrew, and unwarranted media exposure, to name a few. It has also been a year of firsts as a new monarch is on the throne and, as with any change, it came with a mixed bag of challenges and opportunities.
Of course, as it always is with life, the lows have been offset by highs in the last couple of years: Her late Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee celebrating 70 years on the throne, King Charles’ Coronation, the births of new members of the family. After several stinging blows, the royal family is in recovery mode, and has been buoyed by several “stellar wins” this summer, royal expert Dr. Tessa Dunlop said.
