Scandals are nothing new tothe royal familyof theUnited Kingdom. From abdication crisis, heart-breaking love stories, infidelity, and libelous affairs with married men to topless photos of the royals gracing the covers of popular tabloids, bribery charges, sexual assault allegations, late-night phone calls, tax havens, and tell-all interviews, the royals have had it all. When the youngest couplePrince Harry and Megan Markle, the Duke, and Duchess of Sussex gave a tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey, it turned into a firestorm. The Harry-Meghan interview was riven with accusations of racism. Many criticized her accusing Meghan of washing her dirty linen in public, while many others came in warm support for her. This was not the first time theQueenhandled a mess that her extended family often created. The Queen has scrupulously strived to maintain the royal family's pristine image. Theabdication crisis of 1936had rocked the very foundations of the UK royal family when Edward VIII relinquished his throne and all royal status to marry the love of his life, Wallis Simpson. Their story of a king renouncing his kingship to wed the love of his life is all lovey-dovey, but it had long-standing repercussions and it derailed an entire line of succession. So much is at stake that the rigidity of royal life is not completely unfounded or without a purpose.
