There just hasn't been a lot from really either of them together or individually lately, has there?
But why?
Have they blown all their bridges, connections and are down to toss the proverbial kitchen sink for attention? I don't know.
We've heard that moving vans showed up at the house. And nothing more like pictures from a neighbor happy to see the back of them.
We've heard they bought a house on Portugal.
But the wording was kind of funny. Multiple sources of the same thing - yes but that isn't a guarantee of proof as it could all be from the same source. It was more along the lines of "We've been told that...". It came off as a we really don't know if we believe this to be true or not so we are putting it out there but hedging our bets. Or at least it did to me.
And nothing more like exactly when, where or for how much or when they might visit it again. Or pictures of the awesome inside. Or outside. Or requisite photo of the back of one of the kids in the garden. Oh, wait. The kids really don't seem to travel with them on most trips, vacation or otherwise.
Come to think of it, I don't remember them even visiting the country in their various travels but I have been wrong before so I could easily be wrong about this. If they did, I was thinking it must have been a long time ago. So why a house now? Very few people buy a place sight unseen or with only a single visit. A recent house sell convinced me of the magnitude of details.
Thinking about that, it would probably more likely be a time share or actual owned pad where it is about just the money changing hands as opposed to a condo like in NYC where you not only have to have the money but be able to pass the board (meaning they like you and think you will fit in as opposed to disliking you/turning down your application).
Nothing more about any of the shows - cooking or deal similar to Spotify. Or the retail arm for jam and other not yet specified products since that brief flurry of activity. And the trademark issues (which I thought I remembered as a logo deal breaker).
Jan Moir (Daily Mail) points this out in a way I had not thought of. Missing the Christmas panic buying and that clouding the title is a long existing company Royal Rivera who apparently is in the gift basket market.
Fruit was their first foray but they expanded in many directions. They also have smoked salmon, beef, vegan charcuterie, their own wine and more to cover any situation where some type of food is needed. Very trendy in terms of expensive with good quality items (how be it small portions it looks like - why else would they sell two lobster pot pies as a save you $20 deal?). The jam doesn't have RR (but probably still is a proprietary product) on the label so they are correct that it could be confusing to a consumer.
This company comes off as it looks like it is everything she might have wanted her company to be.
Granted the couple seem to be doing their own thing now instead of lock-step movement. A little flurry here or there.
Even so, it's almost like they both fell off the edge of the world. Especially when you think about how they used to be here or there all the time with very few days passing without being in the press somewhere. And with photos.
Maybe they are saving up for a Hail Mary Pass? If so, what do you think that would look like?

Broken bowl, haha!
Wearing a poppy: when I saw he was wearing a poppy to appear before NATO I became filled with actual rage. Thank you for also noticing. How dare he.
If her previous blog posts are any indication, this will be good:

Cheere Denise has been presenting synopses of an eye-opening book on Ethel Skakel Kennedy, and each section and chapter has been terrific so far. Highly recommended. Thus I imagine she will be an enjoyable listen about H & M at the link I provided.
Or maybe the storm finally arrives or maybe it is more the culmination of prior decisions (say regarding taxes, maybe salaries to employees not as expected, contracts we know nothing about or similar) lurking about and suddenly coming out into the public view and all because of what they did/didn't do. The straw breaking the log jam? and, legally without an "accidental leak".
Again? Does H not know when to stop? (Obviously not). There is another article but it's under a paywall: 'Bombshell new book exposes 'fury' at Sussexes, exactly why King fears speaking to them AND why Harry refused to stay in Palace - plus why the monarch has finally cut off Andrew.'
I wonder what's brewing.
When George V died, a statement was issued that `The King's life is drawing peacefully to a close' - and it seems his doctor helped him along the way. When George VI died, however, it was unexpected and our new queen apparently had no appropriate clothes in which to arrive in London. Suitable black clothing had to be rushed to the plane.
The report that that Queen Camilla is concerned that he's pushing himself too hard imply that he's trying to pack in as much as he can while he can.
Doctors tend to say that `more men die with prostate cancer than of it' but that sounds glib to me.
Perhaps as, you suggest, it has penetrated their thick skulls that the King really is ill, that it's not a ploy to bring them to heel, and that William will be King sooner than they ever thought.
So they think it politic to behave themselves, just as long as necessary, to get back in the Royal Family's good books. I doubt very much if there's an iota of penitence on their part.
I think he is very concerned now. He sees that they are far from superstardom. He sees the size of the crowds they get, he hears the boos, he compares the movie " premiere" they went to in Jamaica with the lavish, VIP affairs he was used to, etc.
Now, he may well still be blaming racism or think that his family is using their influence to keep them from succeding; I'm sure they both probably do believe that to some extent. They're both pretty full of themselves. But the reality has to be setting in. Regardless of why they aren't succeeding, it is impossible for them to deny, and even more frightening to realize that things will only get worse once William ascends his throne..... and Catherine is wearing all those gorgeous, historical tiaras!
