Politicians have stood up in the House of Commons and denounced a royal (\u2018a man on a constant self-aggrandising and self-enriching hustle&#8217;) and police have conducted an intensive search of a royal residence (Royal Lodge). There has been less deference, heckling on charity visits, more questions, more demands for transparency over royal finances.<\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-recirculation-type=\"inline\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Trending Bar\" data-nosnippet=\"\" class=\"clear-both pb-0 pt-2 mb-4\">\n        <span class=\"&#10;            flex&#10;            after:content-[''] after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-[0.7rem] after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-[#333]&#10;            before:content-[''] before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-[0.7rem] before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-[#333]&#10;            font-article-heading pb-0 !text-base uppercase sm:text-sm font-normal&#10;        \"><br \/>\n            What to read next<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>And, perhaps most damaging of all, mockery &#8211; mockery of an institution that should be the symbol of everything that is good and valued about the UK.<\/p>\n<p>Our crown jewels, our history, our palaces, freshly mown grass, afternoon tea with cucumber sandwiches and scones with jam and cream.<\/p>\n<p>And ultimately, that&#8217;s pretty grim for all of us.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" id=\"elk-in-other-royal-news\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\/><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"article-body__section\" id=\"section-in-other-royal-news\"><span>In other royal news&#8230;<\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"ba9fd9bb-bf92-46c8-8c84-d4a87da11791\">I have to salute the Queen&#8217;s PR team.
