I don't get people who don't understand the Markle story's appeal

I don't get people who don't understand the Markle story's appeal.


A low-talent thespian and grifter, and probably an experienced whore, has made her way into one of the world's most famous families. 

Once there, she disregards all their age-old rules of protocol and deportment, while trying to grab as much fame and money as possible for herself and set herself up for a glittering career.

Shocked, the family fights back with old-world tactics - like putting her in embarrassing manor homes (Frogmore Cottage, the servants' quarters) and giving her patronages that highlight her shortcomings (Bad actress = National Theater. Never finished college = Association of Commonwealth Universities. Abandoned dog = Animal charity. Trashy fashion = Clothes for homeless women.)

It sounds like a comic novel by a great British satirist, but it's real, and nobody knows the ending yet.

The duo could do some of it or all but for how long?   side note: the peopl...

So, when does the dirt on Meghan come out?

"This is only hearsay, but in London a Brit socialite who knew her way around money, Europe, royalty told me - and my companion, so I wasn't alone in hearing this - that Meghan was known in the old days. 'She was around the famous playgrounds Europeans visit...and known to be shopping for a rich husband.'" That's a quote from Cindy Adams in yesterday's New York Post . Cindy is old - so old that she interviewed the original Duchess of Windsor. "Who was also American,"  writes Cindy.   "She was not happy afterward. She was tough. I interviewed her. She was constantly looking to negotiate some sort of financial betterment." So, when does the dirt start coming out? How about now. Who will drop the information? We've had more than 1200 comments since the Sussex summit on Monday, so please allow me to repeat part of my answer to a question hidden somewhere within that forest of text. A regular commenter asked for my input ...
