Ah hah!
The Duchess of Douche's lawyers are in court today seeking an Injunction to prevent the Mail publishing (probably on Sunday) the identity of the five then-friends.
Reading between the awesomely expensive lines.... (£750 for a Partner, £500 for an Associate and a mere £250 for the unqualified paralegals with the smarts who do all the actual work - we also charge you for telling those people to do the jobs you think we are doing - this is to save you the cost of the partner doing your work that is in any case actually undertaken by the Barrister and his "juniors" who actually know the law. This is how the law works dont tell anyone)... there has been an informal Agreement almost certainly contained in letters/e-mails that the identities wont be released yet, but someone has forced the pace and now Smeg is claiming the Mail are planning imminently to publish their identity and shes locked in the Yoga Suite having the screaming abdabs again (poor Harry, if he werent so fucking vile you might feel a twinge of pity).
In the course of the charcteristically spiteful and self pitying public explanations for this almost certainly (at least in the long-term) doomed demonstration of public money burning, her Megness has managed to disclose that they are all female and young mothers. At once displaying both desperate insensitivity and the utter impossibility of protecting the identity of these boobies from the prying attention of the worlds biggest Newspaper.
Parboiled Celebrity Ambulance Chaser Mark Stephens speculates possibly quite accurately that the real reason is that if Mulrooney is named she may, if asked (say by a powerful media organisation keen to assist with her rehabilitation), take deadly vengeance on her treacherous friend by hinting she doesnt agree with the, you might think, fantastic story about disclosure to People, or that she wont be giving evidence - which amounts to the same thing. Ouch bitch!
I suspect the best she can hope for is a temporary restraint until Witness Statements are exchanged or at least its positively certain who will give actual evidence at Trial. Unless there is something especially vulnerable of which we know nothing, about one of them it seems to me inconceivable that they will be permanently anonymised - it would set new precedent and end up being decided finally on Appeal. Most wealthy and powerful people like to keep the details of their litigation secret and its not in the rest of us plebs interest, or that of justice, that the buggers should get away with it.
It all seems desperately risky. They should be out and proud surely its a badge of honour to defend this great humanitarian? She must fear very much some consequence of them being identified (like maybe some of them dont know theyve been co-opted into the "special sisterhood" or god forbid - dont exist!!!) or it might be the usual narcissistic saviour complex fantasia, with the Royal Rosa Parks wasting other peoples money in a grand pointless gesture to protect her coven and keep them sweet before they get mauled to death in public...we shall see.
