Exactly. They gave them a private reprimand during the wedding, but also gave them a train ride to Chester and Trooping and Ascot and all that crap. It’s mixed signals.
I think it’s significant that they finally felt compelled to go to the press and separate households. Too bad a staff member had to sue to get that to happen. Now, of course, they will go back to doling out goodies and press appearances, and the Harkles will misbehave again.
I do suspect that other things may be happening in the near future that won’t be “doling out goodies” though…
