LOL where to start with the lies. AE calls BW a "Karen" - so much projection!

No you were middle class but AE considers that poor now as she was exposed to the millionaire lifestyle via rich men.
In the UK, that still makes her middle class. Alan Sugar will always be working class despite his millions. The Princess of Wales is from a middle-class background and is snidely (and unfairly, in my opinion - she seems like a genuinely nice woman) referred to as Middleclass Middleton in some circles. Class is not predicated on wealth in the UK; we have one of the most hidebound, stratified, ossified hierarchical systems in the world.
Alice is middle-middle through and through, a class that has been typified as stolid, caring about appearances, filled with professional individuals such as GPs, solicitors, actuaries, headmasters snd the like, and she’s only there by virtue of her parental units. Spending other men’s money doesn’t give her a bunk-up to a higher societal echelon (much as that woman from RHOBH, Lisa Vanderpump, would be considered middle/lower middle in the UK for her sheer vulgarity).
This is another reason why I think Alice would never move back to the UK - as an ordinary middle class woman, she’d be hard-pressed to gain access to the upper echelons, whose eclat and connections she craves. In California, at least her TV appearances, though deep in her past, would count for something. Here, she’d be seen as a Meghan Markle type, trying to push in and thrust her weight around and dictate what other people did, when and how - it wouldn’t enamour her to the ‘higher-ups’ but mark her out as hoi polloi.
She should be pushing Ella to work to get into Oxbridge if she wants a piece of that.
