Harry and Meghan's Australian jaunt -part 3 it's nearly over!

Continuation ....

I think this is a readable version of an article the DM has published about all the people Meghan has burnt bridges with.

example “One of the prime figures in this list is Anna Wintour, who attended a charity gala with Charles and Camilla in New York on Wednesday.
The source says Dame Anna turned against Meghan in 2019 when she collaborated with then British Vogue editor Edward Enninful on a ‘Forces for Change’ issue of the magazine.
There existed a long-time rivalry between Dame Anna at US Vogue, and Enninful at British Vogue, and Meghan picked her side – unwisely, as it turns out. Enninful is no longer the editor of British Vogue. Wintour has stepped aside from day-to-day editing US Vogue but remains Global Editorial Director and Chief Content Officer at Conde Nast, and seems more powerful than ever.
‘Meghan pledged her allegiance to Enninful which p*ed off Anna,’ says the source, adding: ‘Anna hates her. Meghan doesn’t want to pay, and never returns things.
‘Also, Anna loves the Royal Family. She is a Dame. Anna would have hated how they [the Sussexes] handled their exit from The Firm.’
Worryingly for Meghan, the famously icy Wintour apparently never forgives or forgets. So even though Meghan’s friendship with Enninful is also at an end – for reasons which are still unclear – there seems no way for Meghan to return to Anna’s good graces.”

It also discusses the fine line they are walking re use of kids titles and being Schrödingers ‘working royals’ and estimates their basic expenses are $5m a year.

I love Anna Wintour 😎

If Nicole hates her, why was she photographed hugging Meghan? She didn’t have to do that.

oof that last para:

A source says: ‘Unless someone is of use to them with money or unwavering attention then [the Sussexes] always fall out with them. They are worse at dealing with people than they are with business. And that’s saying a lot.’

It’s such a weird environment. I follow Emma Grede who just had a massive book launch, she is everywhere and Nicole Avant hosted the book launch party for her.

”“Three years ago, Emma and I met at an event, and I felt someone pulling on the back of my hair — that’s how we met,” Avant continued. “And she said, ‘We’re going to be good friends. I promise you, we’re going to be best friends!'”

I think the average person would be steering well clear of someone who did that.

So a photo with someone is no indication of any level of friendship or connection, it’s all so very superficial and shallow.

How weird - I'd definitely be steering clear of someone who pulled my hair for attention and then told me we'd be best friends. "I'll be the judge of that. Goodbye" is the obvious answer.

That's a very damning article.

But she burned both bridges with Vogue as she also managed to fall out with Enniful when she demanded a front cover of vogue and he said ‘No’ - some achievement

How does she fall out with so many people? It's the only consistent thing about her.

It is very odd and yes the only consistent thing about her. I read something ages ago where someone who had worked with her said she was extremely thin-skinned.

I think some of it may be that she is hyper-focused on people who can offer her something, then when they no longer suit her purpose or disappoint her in some way she falls out, or otherwise displays wrath. I am making this assumption though based on a woman who I used to be friends with. She fell out with people all the time also, and even during the friendship I was walking on eggshells around her wondering what her trigger for rage was going to be. It was usually something totally innocuous, but the theme was that if this woman was not seen as the centre of every event, every interaction, feted etc at every single moment by every single person then true vicious rage would be rained upon you. And her capacity for grudges go back years and indeed even decades. It was quite the experience being in her orbit.

People like me, who know people like her in our own lives, don't wonder about this at all. We do wonder, though, how the people like her manage to retain any friends.

Yes. The most baffling thing is how they find people who will marry them and commit to them for life, but they do.

Let's not do this, eh?

We don't know what anyone's job really involves.
I'm a Nurse - but I work Mon-Fri in clinics. My job isn't as physically demanding as Nurses who work in the wards. The patients I see aren't unwell. I'm still trained to a very high level - Clinical Nurse Specialist, triple trained, Non-Medical Prescriber, CoSH trained and generally work in Nurse led clinics with no Doctors.

Am I less of Nurse than someone who works in the Acute Hospital site?

How hard exactly does a "normal" person work? Am I a typical normal person? Because I sure as shit couldn't do what PW does. If he wasn't Heir to the Throne I'm pretty sure he'd still be in the RAF, or still be an Air Ambulance pilot - are those not real jobs?

Who gets to decide who's jobs are real?

I'm one of those who think what you see of eg KC and C is the tip of the iceberg.
One specific thing I will say after the State visit. When I was younger I worked for a multinational company and part of the job was occasionally taking clients to places in the uk or abroad on 2 - 4 day visits. It was exhausting being polite and cheerful and "on" from morning till when you got to bed. I would get home utterly drained. & I didn't have the eyes of the world on me and I was in my late 20s. KC for such an important and sensitive visit will have had a huge amount of preparation to do.

It also puts into context how ludicrous any idea of KC taking a transcontinental flight to "pop over" and see the grandchildren was. Harry seems to scripting around for things to do. If he wants to see his father with the children , do it privately by coming to the UK when K has the time. Given H's security I don't believe anyone apart from H believes that would be unsafe. I don't think he's winning many friends over here by constantly implying his family are in danger in the UK
