Romance in the AIR - Expectations and Then there is Reality

 I read somewhere an observation of parallels of Harry and his mother - of how they both appeared to become bored after they no longer had their official duties.  And how they seemed adrift as to what to do next  with themself . I started thinking then of how Diana (probably) had certain expectations of what love, marriage would be (maybe he loves me, only me and not her, happy ever after and who knows but perhaps that marriage is all sweetness, light, happy and joy like in a romance novel) ... which leads to expectations of what marriage might have been for Harry's wife.  Or even Harry. Oh boy.  I don't recall marriage comments but do remember how he talked and wrote about how he wanted for his kids to be able to grow up with their cousins, second cousins in what sounds like how he grew up playing with family, doing the annual this and that with family (minus his parents not getting along).  A vestige of his childhood he wanted to repeat, pass on as import...

New Year (and what's next?)

 Another year and what will it bring for them (and us who watch)?   One thing I thought of is control of their image for appearances.  It isn't just that they have lost so many people in such a fairly short time period but who they lost.  The people who advised, handled details to make the events happen - road trips to volunteering.  We've been saying all along that each loss is a ripple of warning towards a potential new hire coming in.  New hires, yes but what about fund raising?  Cash flow?  This, from SMM, is an interesting read: https://www.reddit.com/r/SaintMeghanMarkle/comments/1puzsvh/impact_report_990_review_from_a_nonprofit/ Which leads us to money.  Keeping their image engine running costs a lot.  No doubt there are a lot details, paperwork, contracts to negotiate and find new groups to partner with.  Hence the need for a good team. The duo could do some of it or all but for how long?   side note: the peopl...

Splitting Hairs on Why?

 Loud noise about how Harry "won" a review of his protection status - although the article (DM so far) was that it may/was initiated by the Home Office.   Maybe?  Maybe not. One of the comments was that actually it was part of a periodic review to see if the safety status has changed.  It's been, what, five years? That would be logical.  Status can change and therefore their interpretation of safe/not safe would need to be adjusted.  Timing is good. The comments are running heavily in the No, don't give him an upgrade.  Hot and heavy there.  But ... sometimes I like to read the opposite comments to see how they phrase/look at the world.  And, how their supportive numbers are running.  Only a fraction supportive when you compare to don't give in group.  Vocal?  yes.  Massive?  no.
