For most of us, "New Year's resolutions", whether or not they are fulfilled, are of no serious consequence and rarely come under scrutiny by public opinion. But most of us are not part of the Royal Family of England. So when Prince Harry and his wife announced that they wanted to distance themselves from the monarchy, the news quickly spread around the world.
“The Queen of England Elizabeth II will organize a meeting on Monday with Prince Harry in order to try to resolve the crisis triggered by the shock announcement of the Harry-Meghan couple to withdraw from their obligations, according to the British press. […] Among the subjects on the agenda, there will be the amount of the financial endowment that Prince Charles allocates to the couple from his personal reserve, the question of their royal titles, and the scope of the commercial transactions that Harry and Meghan will be allowed to do so, the Sunday Times says. "
