Thanks! Always good to have an on-the-ground perspective. I do think the “celeb vs. royal” debate has been going on for a while in the UK, though. I’ve seen several articles about it. The Spectator has had a couple and Hilary Mantel did some essays and someone else prominent who I can’t remember right now. I even found an Australian one. This is just another slide down a slippery slope, imo.

The BRF at home have not lost any standing at all re Markle debarkle. No one is discussing in general media any of the points maade on here (which, by the way, I enjoy). The blog is putting MM and H at the centre of the debate, therefore centre stage. Not happening in the UK. Only interested when there is an event and that only in the tabloids. The US perspective on here is not reflecting the UK
