The U.K.'s most famous family firm in crisis
While the British royal family generates huge sums in tourism for the U.K. it also costs a lot of money to operate. Public support is vital to "The Firm's" existence. And it may have lost some recently due to a pair of high profile scandals.
From Prince Harry and Meghan's explosive Oprah interview to the fallout of Prince Andrew's disgraceful exit from royal life, "The Firm" faces a lot of public scrutiny. To make matters worse, 95-year-old Queen Elizabeth has had to miss several royal engagements due to poor health, which rarely happens.
While the line of succession to the British throne is set in stone, the queen's successor, Prince Charles, is unpopular with the public and many in the U.K. wonder if he has what it takes to lead the institution.
