A note from Nutty: The inactive Sussexes

Just a note to check in. The Sussexes have been so inactive recently that they've given me very little material, which isn't an entirely bad thing. I've always said that my hopes and dreams for the Sussexes were not some kind of macabre violent end, but for a quiet fading away, so it would be hypocritcal of me to complain when they take some long-overdue time out of the spotlight. A few Sussex notes from the past week: ➯ It's not clear where the Sussexes are currently located, and nobody seems particularly concerned where they are.

Open Post: What does Andrew's decision mean for the Sussexes?

Prince Andrew has chosen to step down from active royal duties due to his role in the Epstein scandal. What do you think this means for the monarchy as a whole, and for the Sussexes in particular? As Winston Churchill once (reportedly) said, " Never waste a good crisis ."  Will Charles show himself to be unusually decisive and use Andrew's situation as an excuse to slim down the monarchy? What will the idiotic Sussex stans do, now that they can no longer insist that the media is harassing Meghan to cover up for Andrew's misdeeds? And what does it all mean for Beatrice's wedding ?
