And children have the same beliefs and motivations as their parents? What reason do we have to believe that Sophie executes her father's will or even agrees with his views on various issues? She has a career and life of her own, I'd wager.

You don't get to live under daddy's roof unless you're following his rules. If you rise into the same industry as your father, with your career-minded father guiding you along the way, you're not off scot-free when you've "paid your dues." You can take the entire Trump lineage for a very notable and public example. Trump Sr. held Trump Jr. under his thumb, Trump Jr. holds Ivanka et al. under his thumb.

As long as the person that helped you get to where you are today is still in "power," you're indebted until he loses his throne.

Hollywood is another example.
