They’re all “terrible people.” Jessica is particularly disturbing every time she puts her own interests above those of an important client. She repeatedly wants the other partners to prioritize her needs above those of their clients.
Re The Windsors
I’m trying but it’s just so stupid that I’m struggling.
Some of the women he attacked weren’t even trying to break into movies, stardom or celebrity.
Thewomen never should have been put in the situation of having to make that choice. Criminal abuse of power.
Jessica told Rachael she reminds her of herself. They went to that formal awards dinner together, when Rachael rewrote Jessica’s speech.

Very unrealistic

You are confused.
They are technically princesses by marriage. But it’s not the practice to style yourself that way so they are styled with their duchess courtesy titles. Check out Princess Michael of Kent.

No, you’re wrong. Kate has multiple titles because William does. One of her titles is Princess of the United Kingdom. But because she was not born a princess, she is styled Princess William of Wales.

And when William becomes King, yes, Kate will be crowned queen — not queen regnant, but queen cosort. There’s a special crown for the consort, last worn by queen Elizabeth’s mother.

Such a rude thing to do when surely there were people who wanted to get tickets but were unable to obtain them.
Of course.
Like Harry’s uncle, HRH Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex.
The subject line of your post isn’t stated correctly.
Only the queen can give someone a royal title. As the great-grandson of the monarch, Archie isn’t entitled to use HRH. He will be, though, when Charles becomes king.
Right now, Archie could use one of his father’s lesser titles, such as the Earl of Dumbarton, but his parents have elected not to style him that way. If they had elected to have him use the Dumbarton title, he would be styled “Lord Dumbarton,” as explained in DeBrett’s

Princess Anne’s first husband (Mark Phillips) declined the title offered him by the queen, so her children did not have honorary titles like they would have if their father had been a duke or earl.
Children of Princesses of the Blood (like Princess Anne) are not born with royal titles. They aren’t referred to as HRH. They only have titles if their father is titled. If Mark Phillips had accepted a title and become an earl or duke, Zara would have been styled “Lady Zara”
*Princess of the Blood = a daughter of the monarch
You can check off number 4. Number 5 won’t be far behind.
The Spencer family are aristos, not royals.
Could be.
I can’t help believing that M never took the royal commitments seriously. It seems as though she assumed she could pick and choose and abstain from events that didn’t interest her. She was apparently under the illusion that as long as she “showed up” and put in her 15 minutes at events, that was all that would be required. She couldn’t understand why that wasn’t acceptable. And when she finally accepted what a life of ribbon-cutting and hand-shaking would be like, she bailed.
I’m not convinced that she really didn’t understand how hard the royals work. I think she just expected that she would be entitled to play it her way. Perhaps she didn’t grasp that being a member of the RF is something so much bigger than that. They aren’t Hollywood celebrities; they’re national symbols and the nation’s enduring connection to its history.
I found her defense that she was uninformed and naive about royal life disingenuous. She thought it would be a Disney fairy tale? Really? I call BS. She isn’t stupid, but she must think Oprah’s viewers are.
Life for women who marry into the royal family has been made very public. Diana made sure of that. Sarah Ferguson’s very public peccadilloes also shed quite a bit of light. And most recently, Catherine’s experiences with the tabloids before and after her marriage to William have been very widely covered in the media.
I just don’t buy it that Meghan didn’t Google any of this.
Re: tennis
From what I understand, it’s against protocol to wear jeans at Wimbledon, regardless of whether one is royal or not. Lots of tennis clubs have dress codes and Wimbledon is no exception. M was criticized because she knew she wouldn’t be barred from entering, or asked to change, because of who she is. She also wore a large, wide-brimmed hat, which is also not permitted at Wimbledon.
As for the empty seats, did I read that M had bought forty seats surrounding her, so she and her friends wouldn’t have to sit with other spectators? If true, that couldn’t have gone down well! And it’s yet another example of M flaunting royal privilege.
I know, right?! Utterly ridiculous. That she would actually think comparing herself to a cartoon Disney princess would be effective? Ick. Furthermore, as an actress, couldn’t she have come up with a better example, such as Shakespeare or George Bernard Shaw? Not only would that be more mature, but I might have been able to take it seriously.
And the way M told the details of how they were watching the film etc., it all just came off way too contrived. I just couldn’t buy it.
