Tina really needs to get back in her 'But...But...He Walked behind Mummy's Coffin.....' box while someone nails down the lid.Oh god, a bloody awful article from the ABC (Australia). This isn't some trashy gossip magazine either. H&M are the victims as usual - nothing is ever their fault.
The exerpt in the second screenshot gives me kind of 'Camelot lost' vibes.

Enormously appealing to the public? Where? We've all seen the latest YouGov figures. Even online polling has a hard time because the Sugarbots can't overwhelm them.
Good at their jobs? That would be a 'No'. Haz used to be what passed for 'good' but we now know a lot of that was down to PR. Smeg never stuck around long enough to understand what the job actually was.
Attractive? Don't make me laugh. Hazza's about as attractive as a haemorrhoid.
Tina's clearly reminiscing about the glamorous days when she was 'besties' with Mummy, and thinks the RF somehow need that. She's projecting. They don't.
'Celebrity Di' was only good for the papers. In retrospect it was detrimental to the Institution by making them look boring and out of touch. They weren't. They just didn't do the "Oooh, Shiny!" thing the media fell for. And ultimately it failed Diana. As it will fail the Harkles in due course.
Thankfully William seems to be charting a new course firmly down the middle. His Mother's natural warmth combined with his Grandmother's firm belief in duty. With the lovely wife who understands her current and future roles and isn't hellbent on stardom.
Given that the Waleses are the most popular Royals, the public would seem to agree.
Tina's stuck in the 90s with Smeg. Ordinary folks have moved on.
JMO.
