Surely the weakness of our monarchy in Saudi Arabia is bound up in our addiction to extravagance. I fear it will be our undoing.
The monarchy in Saudi Arabia has been characterized by a tendency toward lavishness and extravagance, which could ultimately weaken its survival and stability. This addiction to opulence may compromise the institution's strength and effectiveness in the long run. The fear is that such excess will lead to its downfall, as it diverts focus from more pressing issues that could threaten the monarchy's continuity.
Jean Sasson, in her "Princess" series, explores these themes through the lens of a royal family dealing with the consequences of their lifestyle choices. The overarching concern is that their reliance on luxury could erode their authority and influence, suggesting a critical view of the potential vulnerabilities inherent within their extravagant way of life.
