Two things that are fascinating about this. One is that there was a time when everything they did would get breathless media. Now even the DM barely bothers to cover this stuff. Their visibility this year has highlighted how little they have to offer in general. The charity has fallen apart, after the hype the business isn’t a hit, the Netflix show flopped, the podcast was panned, she is grafting, he seems to be doing speeches for money and playing polo.
The other is that they are still, five years later, trying to work out who they are. Are they like an imitation Obama/Gates/Clintons but without actual foundations/wealth. Are they a wealthy California couple monetising their charming life by being influencers? Those two are not the same. And with each passing year as W&C nudge closer to the throne and a life of diplomatic importance hosting kings and presidents, their lack of purpose and status is now more glaring than ever.
