Prince William

This week brought yet another reminder that major change is afoot within Buckingham Palace, as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle laid off their staff and took one more step toward cutting ties with London for good.

Generally, Royal Family Problems pale in comparison to Real People Problems, but at times like this they intersect, and we're reminded that while they hold very little political power these days, the decisions of monarchs and their offspring still have an impact on their subjects.

It's been several weeks since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry stepped down as senior members of the royal family and relocated to Canada, but the debate over what led the couple to make such a monumental decision is still raging.

Some say Meghan became fed up with the British press and its constant scrutiny of her every move.

Well, it's official.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have stepped down as senior members of the royal family.

Well, it's official -- Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have stepped down as senior members of the royal family.

Like it's namesake, Brexit, Megxit may take a long time to reach its completion, but the process has begun in earnest, with the Sussexes putting down roots in Canada this week.

We probably don't need to tell you it's been a rough couple of months for the royal family.

For a while there, it didn't look like anything could overshadow Prince Andrew's awful interview about his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, but then #Megxit hit the headlines like a ton of bricks.

We probably don't need to tell you these are tumultuous times within the royal family.

And it seems that if the Queen was hoping to be consoled by the promise of more grandchildren, she may be out of luck.

Prince Harry and Prince William don't agree on very much these days.

Heck, the former agrees so little with what's been going on in and around his family that he plans on stepping way back from all Royals going forward.

Someone get Prince William a baggy suit, a bottom-shelf toupee, and an impeachment.

Dude basically has no choice but to adopt the Donald look now that he's received the Melania treatment from Kate Middleton.

Families feud.

It's a fact of life so universal that Steve Harvey invented the television just so he could create a game show base on that premise.

These are tough times for members of the British Royal Family.

Now, if you hit the lights every time you hear footsteps in the hall because you're three weeks behind on your rent, you might be feeling that "tough times" is a relative term -- and you would be right -- but hear us out:

For centuries, the members of the British Royal Family prided themselves on their ability to maintain a "stiff upper lip" in the face of adversity. 

Be it the death of Princess Diana or rumors of marital discord between Prince William and Kate Middleton, the royal response remained the same:

Prince William and Kate Middleton have made it official:

They really despise Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

I must say, I don't think air transportation has ever been as stressful of a matter as it is right now for the royal family. 

After Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were recently under fire for taking private jets on vacation, Prince William and Kate Middleton are now flying (eek!) commercial. 

At this point, it feels like Kate Middleton and Prince William have been together since the days when royal life consisted of huge turkey legs, goblets of mead, and good old-fashioned beheadings.

In reality, however, it's been 18 years since Will and Kate started dating, and only 8 years since they got married.

For months now, we've been hearing rumors about a feud between Prince William and Prince Harry.

The causes for the alleged dispute vary wildly from one source to the next, but insiders seem to concur that there's some bad blood between the two princes.

Last week, Prince William celebrated his 37th birthday.

It was a relatively low-key affair (by royal birthday standards), but all of the important figures in the future king's life paid their respects.

For months now, reports of a feud between Prince William and Prince Harry have been dominating British tabloid headlines.

Alleged causes of the spat vary from one outlet to the next, but the consensus seems to be that the formerly close brothers had a falling out sometime in the past two years.

Back in April, reports that Prince William had been caught cheating on Kate Middleton scandalized the royal family.

And the more details that emerged, the uglier the situation became.

We probably don't need to tell you that the members of the British Royal Family tend to favor the old school way of doing things.

These are people who still own scepters, crowns, and those long, wooly cape things, after all.

Donald Trump was in the UK this week, and based on the photos from his various social engagements it looks his efforts to reinforce tired old stereotypes about ugly Americans stopped just short of showing up to royal banquets with Big Mac secret sauce on his tie.

Granted, the Brits aren't exactly known for their effusive displays of affection but the Donald received a chilly reception even by royal family standards.

For weeks now, we've been hearing rumors that Prince William cheated on Kate Middleton with one of the duchess' closest friends.

Such rumors have popped up persistently during Will and Kate's time together, but this time, they seemed to have far more credence than usual.

After nine days in the world, little Archie Harrison got to meet his aunt and uncle -- at last! 

Kate Middleton and Prince William dropped on over to Frogmore Cottage on Tuesday to officially meet their nephew. 

We're still waiting to learn what Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have named their child.

But we no longer need to wait to see what Kate Middleton and Prince William have to say about the seventh person in line for the British throne.

As you've likely heard by now, the royal family has spent the last three weeks reeling over reports that Prince William had an affair with Rose Hanbury while Kate Middleton was pregnant.

Rose is the Marchioness of Cholmondeley and a former close friend of Kate's.
