She is immensely robotic. It’s like she goes through the motions. I’ve talked to her and her eyes are just so vacant and cold, even though she smiles and says the ‘right’ things. She is very closed off. I suppose in a way, that’s the price she pays for the ‘fame’ she has manufactured for herself. Pippa Middleton/Matthews is extremely similar in her demeanour, by the way. Her son goes to nursery with my younger child, and she is frosty as hell. Smiles sweetly, is super polite, sure, but there is total ice there. She puts up a firm front. Doesn’t want to engage with anyone. In her case, she’s in a very different position and not one of her own making, and I can understand that she keeps her guard up because of her family situation. With Laura, it’s sad because it’s purely because of having to perpetuate the myth of this fantasy life that she leads. It’s a high price for her - and her kids- to pay for her lifestyle choices.
