Yes I've noticed that too. Maybe something is going on behind the scenes that we don't know about.Lady C told the story of the Queen having lunch with an old and long-established friend of hers and the gruesome twosome must have come up along with the word marriage, I believe the Queen allegedly said, "I hope I'm dead before those two get married"!
Based on that I think you could be onto something. I'd actually thought it myself. If The Queen did say that it makes you wonder what the hell must have been going on for her to have come out with something like that. I can't remember if it was in one of her blogs or the book.
I think something bad must be going on in the background currently because Lady C has been vitriolic towards those two in the last two blogs. Really cutting.
She's mentioned a couple of times of Harry being addicted to Meghan like Heroin so I'm reading something into that, we've speculated here many times about whether or not he's partaking again ... Time will tell ...
Obviously the firm thought that Smeggy was a bad choice. They were probably hoping he would marry someone like Kate or a girl from the aristocracy like Diana. More to the point someone who would follow the rules and keep quiet in the background.
I believe that they did investigate Smeggy's background but probably missed the bit about Dorito being a an ex-con. I wonder if she would've been invited to the palace if they'd known about that.
It seems that Smeggy has been making sure that anyone who works for her signs a NDA which is why few have spoken out against her.
