SARAH VINE: Anyone fancy a sugary slice of Brand Sussex?
SARAH VINE: Is that an Hermes throw I see draped on the chair? Or could the H be a clue for the HRH captured 'by mistake' (oh, how we laughed) juggling ineptly in the 'yard' outside her windowwww.dailymail.co.uk
One of my relatives works at Highgrove. They’ve told my mum how lovely Prince Charles is and that he is a great employer who shows great interest in what they do. Apologies but I’m being deliberately ambiguous regarding their gender and job for obvious reasons.I visited Highgrove this week and every single tour guide/gardener/waiter I spoke to had a positive story to say about PC. Often how how many small acts of kindness he has done for them personally, or to someone they know on the estate.
Our tour guide said how, in a world of social media and performative kindness, how “refreshing” this was. What’s more, he admitted that prior to coming to Highgrove, he was quite neutral on PC as a person - he now holds him in as high a regard as HMTQ!
He also spoke about a time he was walking through one of the gardens and said a passing hello to a ‘gardener’… only to do a double take and realise it was PC. The whole experience just reaffirmed to me how upset I will be if ‘just call me H’ uses this book to slander his father. PC is far from a Saint, but all these people cannot be wrong.
We also saw the tree house that PC restored for his grandkids, the tree that George planted when he was 2 and is now around 5 metres! I wanted to share this becashe I was stuck by just how “human” PC seems, but also how these acts of kindness are not broadcast to the world to win brownie points - even when public opinion was so against him over the years. It couldn’t be more different fromH&M.
Why did they refer to Catherine as 'Kate Middleton' but HW as 'Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex'? Guess the wife being friends with the editor helps. A bit condescending to still refer to our future Queen consort by her maiden name when she hasn't been called it in over 10 years.Discover The Extraordinary Women Who Make Up This Year’s Vogue 25

So true re the hugging etc.Comfort creation via the touch/tactile sense. The target is repeatedly bombarded with information about the importance of "hugs" "warmth" "touch" " of closenes" in conversations.
Its a common tactic of building familiarity when individuals have nothing in common regardless if marriage or distant friends. See the kiss-kiss behavior in high society.
The next stage in Harry's case is the "comfort" effect, his mind now instantly switches to"she is there for me, " which elevates her above anyone else, while he is completely oblivious about the" why. "
Disclaimer :
It can be a nice and kind thing extended towards a insecure individual.
It can be a form a manipulation and control.
Now we need @Evangelina to return. I miss her off piste take on things and thought provoking posts.Oh welcome back I have been wondering where you were - glad you’re back with us Hope you are ok
Dolly is a class act compared to Smeggy and a real philanthropist. Smeggy isn't fit to lick her boots.Dolly Parton used to say, "it costs a lot of money to look this cheap."
In Meghan's case it takes a lot of "I know best" attitude to look that crap.
