To those lecturing others about their desire for information, do back off. These privileged people are public property to a great extent. They are entitled to some privacy, but common courtesy to their "subjects" is normal. Not this total radio silence and odd shenanigans. I don't care what anyone says, there are many who are very interested in what might be going on. Human nature.
Nature abhors a vacuum, hence the speculation. Normal enough I would have thought.
