Norway or Belgium have faced / are facing similar negative reactions, so it is a widespread negativism which not only affects monarchies but all states.
Sarkozy is under fire in France. Gordon Brown can do nothing good anymore in Britain. Even megastar Obama is, only nine months in office, already under heavy erosion.
These extremes are something of this time. Was Obama inaugurated in January, with great enthusiasm, nine months later much of his popularity has gone. Was the whole nation full of compassion and united behind the Queen and the royal family after the tragic Queen's Day, half a year later the same family faces heavy criticism.
But it is easy criticism with relatively easy solutions: stop the Machangulo project, end the privilège of private flights at the costs of taxpayers and maintain the private sailyacht at the own private expenses. Ready.
It is not that difficult to take away the sources of irritation.
