Yay CyrilSebastian, what an achievement! I agree with Lady Liebe, I always enjoy your posts.

I looked through the first five pages and couldn't find one on Lady Gabriella. 

Her ex-boyfriend has an article in the New York Times.  He refers to her quite a bit in the first third of the article.  I can try to do a copy-and-paste if you can't access the article.

He is discrete enough and most people won't know off hand who he is talking about but Google will help if people really want to know. He has a lovely writing style and Istanbul is definitely a fever dream of a place that comes across well. Thanks for sharing Celia.

We are going to Istanbul next month as part of our cruise. We are so excited to FINALLY go on this trip. I initially started researching about 4 years ago. It’s been 3x postponed because of the bug.

Duchess, you are going to LOVE Istanbul!!!  I am fortunate enough to have visited it a few times and I love it so much I almost feel homesick for it when I hear it mentioned!

Interesting, especially as they don't officially carry out public duties. I wonder if they'll leave KP for the countryside now.

Great news. (What is the female equivalent of “bellend”?)

Agreed. Goodbye!

I know, but I'm not going to say
She is one, though.

She is horrible and I'm not clear if he is much better but Gabriella and Freddie seem to be ok people so there's that. I think this is a nice set up in preparation let's be honest for the eventual death of his older siblings once they are gone he will be gone and the royal downsizing will be easy and clear. He is not a working royal anyway. Don't they actually have different partners but stayed married out of some weird sense of show? All these little pieces are falling into place now that the Jubilee is over. Slowly but surely everyone is preparing for Charles' reign.

I'll miss Prince Michael on the Royal scene, he has always been a good and loyal support to HMQ despite not being a working royal as well as being IMO the best dressed man in the BRF in terms of tailoring and flair, but he is almost 80 and its time to prep for the eventual transition.

As for his wife well, she is a less idiotic version of Ghoul and his life is an object lesson on how to survive making the mistake of marrying a raging narcissist and ensuring that you and your children come out of it with as little damage as possible.

I hope his ginger second cousin twice-removed takes note.

Yes... and as for other partners... maybe in the past but I’d be surprised if that is current....
