I know it’s a slight derail, but I just keep thinking of how horrible this all is for William. He lost his mum too and his only sibling has gone on to cause so much damage. For Catherine, too. The three of them did look like a pretty good unit years ago. How on earth they cope, whilst in the public eye, carrying out meaningful engagements, is pretty admirable. Yes, they have comfort and privileges beyond what most of us could imagine, but they are still human. I have a bit of experience of friction with a sibling’s spouse, am just grateful it’s not played out in public. I think the monarchy are expected to keep quiet and put up with stuff, but I definitely won’t judge William in future years if he continues to grey rock.
Back to HaM, I’m really struggling to understand how any credible organisations would want to recruit them to their cause. I think HaM could, possibly, find a way back, but it would take years of being quiet, privately helping charities etc, not moaning and being authentic. None of which is ever going to happen. And someone really needs to point out to them that, right now, the best thing they can do is to stop setting up pap shots.
With regards to half term, I’d think it would be better to stay here. Surely it’s going to be unfair/unsettling to go back to Cali for a break. The kids may get to see friends briefly, then dragged back here again. Would it not be better to wait until Xmas break? Who knows, maybe they will stay here for half term.
