Depends how you define privileged. He’s unbelievably rich. But he can’t ever relax, he has to shake hands and pretend to be interested in about a thousand people a week. And he’s never in his life been to the cinema or a restaurant or any other normal activity without it being a gigantic fan fair. And he could never ever get drunk in front of anybody but his most trusted staff or family. He almost certainly has never had a truly authentic friendship. To see his mum he had to arrange an appointment. I don’t think I’d switch places with him. It’s not the same as being rich and famous like Beyoncé or Bill Gates. I think it rather swap places with anybody in the upper middle class than Charles.
that comment is extremely dumb lol. he can do all of those things - they are not disallowed. it would cause some hassles for him & his family, and he likely wouldn't enjoy many of those things anyway.
but he can absolutely show up wasted to an event, and nothing bad will happen to him. he can go to a gigantic fair in america, few people would recognize him. he can go to the best restaurants in the world on his private jet, and he can go to a tiny spot in greece (and again, no one will actually recognize or givve a shit)
people become desperate to convince us that the rich are struggling "just like us" and its the dumbest thing ever lol. some of us are working double shifts & figuring out which one we can skip so we can take our mom to chemo, and these clowns talk like royals have it tough.
