Any family feud played out in the public eye is unedifying and grim, I've said it before and I'll say it again both parties have blame and neither side has displayed dignity, on a personal level it's sad that a family is falling apart but you would hope someone, somewhere would play the adult and try to stop this disintegrating further.
Their differences may never be settled but to continue to air dirty laundry in public is certainly going to make any reconciliation or reparation harder in the future.
I'm not a Republican as such but do believe in a devolved and streamlined Monarchy and a transfer of assets from the Windsor's private wealth to the State, the tourism they attract would not be affected but our outlay and control greatly increased, Versailles attracts nearly 3 times more tourists annually than the Tower of London, UK's most visited Royal attraction, and is an example of how the attraction of history is not diminished by change.
