What Does it Mean to have a Friend?

 So I was reading the DM article talking about how * has friends.  Important friends.  Powerful friends.  And, they have friends layered below them. 

What does that mean to us today?  

So it is an interesting article filled with unnamed sources.  That's nothing new.  We see this quite often in the oh how wonderful the Sussex family members are.  

Make no mistake - these are very powerful women.  

Oprah - she has been there for a long time since the wedding and the interview.  According to the article (and even that seems to hedge by saying something about "I'm told" that Oprah was the push for the Kardashian party.).  So Oprah still seems to be around even though we don't see photos of them together.

Mellody Hobson is next up.  Quite a power woman who is very knowledgeable in finance (her own Investment company), Starbucks and more.  She did appear in Archetypes.  An unnamed source (again - this time who is a "business associate" of MH) offers that Mellody has offered assorted business advise.  

Next up is Shonda Rhimes.  You may remember that she stated that she did not base her Queen Charlotte on * who then responded (more or less) something about liking Bridgerton.  In there, somewhere is something about how * might learn something about that angle of the business from Shonda.

And then there is Nicole Avant (Netflix linkage, the party) and the photos of the two hugging.

There really isn't an overwhelming statement about why these women are so supportive of her other than it's all been unfair somehow to her.  

Really?  Because it sounds more like she's claiming victim status but she'll be back with all these power people to straighten things out.  Apparently there is a reasonable explanation as to why she needed to be filmed in Paris going through that tunnel - we just haven't heard it yet.  

And, more importantly, if she's been given advise from all these very knowledgeable women, why do things keep going so crosswise for her?  

The other thing is that it goes on and on about how she doesn't want to but she may have to write her own take on her life so far.  Yeah.  Sounds sort of like a veiled threat to me too.  Especially after all these paragraphs of these are my power friends show of force?

Cliff Hanger

Deadlines for responses have passed.  Will they show?  Won't they show?   And, rumors of demands for money to cross hands to make appearances (new level of pay to play). Such drama.  You would think this was a soap opera where every episode ends with a crazy cliff hanger story plot to drive the next installment.  Sadly, I don't expect it to change any time soon either.  No.  For them, there appears to be way too much energy left in the will they, won't they to end it now even though everyone else is pretty much tired of it.  Hardly something one can point to and claim that they are trying to reconcile with those who feel distressed about what was printed. Just noticed something: remember that talk of trying to reach out and reconcile after the book, etc.?  It seems to have drifted away, hasn't it?  Hmm.  Interesting.  I wonder if that is recognized as a total lost cause or just delayed into the summer (or fall) campaign (c...

Here comes Trevor

If you're a Beatles fan, you'll know that in the fifty years since the group went its separate ways, almost everyone involved with them has sold his or her story. Only one major figure has not: Jane Asher , who was Paul McCartney's girlfriend for five years during the heyday of the group, and accompanied him on the famous trip to India in 1968. An actress, Jane went on to become a TV personality and famous cake-baker. She has never spoken about her time with McCartney and dislikes being asked. Until recently, the Sussex saga had included a similar figure: Trevor Engelson, Meghan Markle's ex-husband.  Trevor has never spoken about Meg. But he has done well for himself: he married a wealthy woman , continues to work as a producer , and seems to have a loyal (and multi-racial!) circle of friends , unlike some people we know.  He appeared to have excused himself from the whole soggy mess.  Until yesterday, when he was papped. Driving his black Porsch...

But Really, Could they?

 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...
