Royal Family News: Royal Watcher Commends The Royal Family For ‘Re-Inventing The Wheel’ In 2020

British royal family news reveals that one royal watcher is calling 2020, “an unprecedented time in Queen Elizabeth’s Reign.” The British Royal Family has not been immune to the ravages of coronavirus, which has made 2020 an unprecedented year, but there have been plenty of other significant events to blindside the monarchy.

Royal Family News: The British Monarchy Has Had An Unprecedented Year

Katie Nicholl told 9Honey, “The year started with such division and such a dramatic departure of the Sussexes.” And of course that was before the pandemic hit, striking at least two senior members of the royal family.

She added, “It was extraordinary with COVID, we saw the royal family evolve and change in a way that would usually take years. Overnight almost they adapted, they adjusted, they embraced video technology, the digital medium as a means of communicating with the public. So change that usually takes months or years happened almost overnight.”

“There was an extraordinary shift and a lot of hard work behind-the-scenes in order to make that new way of working possible.”

Nicholl also noted that, “It was quite remarkable to hear from the Queen, twice, in those incredible speeches,” and, “To hear and see the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall at home in isolation at Birkhall. To see the Cambridges broadcasting messages of support for NHS frontline workers from their home, talking about home-schooling, then to discover it wasn’t just Charles, William too who suffered from COVID – quite extraordinary the heir apparent and the heir both down with this deadly illness.”

She summed it up by saying, “When you put it all together, it’s been an absolutely extraordinary year.”

Nicholl reinforces her point about the family’s extraordinary efforts by remarking on the choice they had to make.

“I think the royals could have isolated in their ivory towers and really just disappeared from public life but actually, I think what this has shown is that this is a monarchy that knows the importance of supporting it’s people during a crisis, which of course this has been and re-inventing the wheel.”

To that end it has been rumored that there will be only eight senior royals in what is being termed The New Firm, a goal of Prince Charles’ for some time.
