I honestly think she's just waiting until the queen steps down, because she knows that if she tries to cut and run before then QEII will more than readily send the royal equivalent of a tactical nuke after her for the shit she's pulled on the family. Charles, OTOH, is probably too milquetoast to do anything about it, and I'm not sure where William would stand on it but he'd probably be more than willing to welcome his sad sack brother back into the family if the excess baggage wasn't in the picture.

I do actually have a little sympathy for the guy. Since infant mortality rates have improved to the point that the later children of the monarch really are spares, they're all kinda trainwrecks:

• Princess Margaret;
• Prince Andrew;
• Prince Edward (not as much as Andrew, but part of what the Royals do is serve their time in the military. Edward conspicuously failed to do this);
• And now, Prince Harry.

It's a cloying, confining lifestyle, I can see a lifetime of very few choices resulting in aberrant behaviour.
