PEOPLE won’t print the attacks on other RF members to keep their relationship with the RF cool so she goes to the down market like Star for the attacks stories. But you see how a single story gets pushed – that is her pr sending out emails to other publications/sites. It is all very obvious once you understand how it works. She wants that US market so her pr tends to be US oriented. Her willingness to use pr is a real problem for the RF they never had to deal with anyone like this.

Generally I agree with you, but People participated in the War of the Wales 25 years ago, so yes, they will participate in royal-vs-royal attacks. They’re not printing attacks currently because it doesn’t benefit them in anyway. If they could see a benefit in it, they’d do it.

The US market is the only possible market that Megs could make work for her. She’s not sophisticated or interesting enough for the world market. Also, an American in the British royal family being “popular” feeds American narcissism about being the best, which is also why many in the US don’t second guess Megs being declared “popular” in the UK. It’s just another version of “USA #1″ in the media.
