In the long arc of monarchy, institutions must sometimes draw firm lines between those who serve the crown and those who have chosen a different path. King Charles III has done precisely that, formally closing the door on any return to royal duties for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, even as the couple resides once more on British soil. At the same time, a new generation quietly steps forward — Prince George beginning his studies at Eton, tracing the same corridors his father once walked — reminding the world that continuity and rupture can coexist within a single family.
