I'm taking notes and also getting down some questions
Richard Eden has an interesting article in the DM which references an article in The Guardian about the necessity of the passport applications for the kids as including HRH and the last name of Sussex. Why? Well supposedly this is all because they want to allow the kids to decide for themselves to become a working royal or continue to stay in private life. The main focus becomes how this bewilders the Palace considering how difficult the parents found it all and then left. As well has his thoughts that this is about maintaining royal aura ("links" is his term) before ending with how a push for the daughter might be as the American Princess might be helpful to her mommy's business. What I wonder about is: What or where did they get the idea that the kids would be welcomed into the fold and become working royal? I am not convinced that was ever an option once they stepped back. America doesn't do British history quite the same way or to the same detail. Manne...

SwampWoman mentioned trusts. Yes the bulk of the money or all of the money is most likely in a trust, but you can remove money from it as well as add.
The Getty family contacted Lady C so she could make the situation public knowledge. I’m sure the family will step in if Maggot asks for money etc.
It’s still unknown whether she and Mole have actually split, H G Tudor thinks they haven’t, I’ll believe it when I hear about it officially. 😃
However, that in itself is not unusual (his dimwittedness). I wandered over to LSA where an Unpopular Opinions: Meghan Markle thread about TBW was taken ultra private. The site has dozens of threads mindlessly adoring TBW and viciously attacking Catherine, with some vitriol reserved for William. The hapless one is notable by his almost complete absence. What I liked about the above-mentioned thread is that the members share information that does not appear elsewhere and have a reasonable and intelligent debate, mostly, (much like here), but they actually never mindlessly and viciously attack TBW with lies they have made up or in a really nasty way. I think the sugars hate stuff like that (that it was popular, reasonable, articulate and thorough).
Some of my favourites stories, from the book, that expose her:
* Collapsing on the stairs or on the floor, sobbing. For goodness sake! Toddlers behave like that.
* Her manipulativeness and compulsion to control from the first date, and even procuring that first date. She even contacted him soon after that short first date. Princess Pushy from the first moment! Some men like a dominant controlling woman. I guess he is one of those men.
* Her total lack of class or refinement. That she shares her life with a man who, despite his upbringing and background, shows no class in how he speaks or what he speaks about is the red flag. But right from the start when she turned up her nose at Frogmore Cottage and its contents she showed her complete lack of appreciation for quality. He gives us a description of what was in his home and, although it probably needed a 'woman's touch', what was there was quality, including unique momentos of his royal life.
For those who have read the whole book ... is there anything you could think to add to the list?
