In practical terms, it risks becoming what many have described as a global mess.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another source said the situation has left senior royals feeling trapped between expectation and reality.<\/p>\n<p>They added: &#8220;At the heart of this is a clash between the desire to act decisively and a constitutional system that is incredibly rigid.
