Fancy Friendship?

Can royalty have friends?
This was the question stuck in my mind this morning.

Obviously they are human and feel the need to connect, but can they ever feel true friendship like a commoner or are there too many other pressures tainting their relationships?
And how would they make friends? It’s not like they can have facebook or twitter or go to the local pub.

It is very perplexing.

That’s not to say I wouldn’t like to live like a royal.
I’ve already decided I would like a summer palace like this one in Nikko.
