In the US, civil cases are generally handled on contingency. That means that unless the plaintiff wins, the lawyers get nothing. So, lawyers are quite careful to select cases that will make them money - in this case, the PR is worth a lot. Plus, the firm might well win a judgment and that will...

Such sad news, and so unexpected, despite his age. Truly a remarkable man, with such a strong sense of duty and of humor.

I think that we are meant to understand that over many generations, the entire culture around the Royal Family has grown toxic. That it is both the bureaucracy and the manner in which the Family lives and chooses to live that is the problem. They do come across as a type of puppet, although the...

But wedding rehearsals are okay, right? The Archbishop could have viewed it as a rehearsal, they could have asked for a quick run through (with different vows) and he could have said, "Sure, let's rehearse in the yard." The whole thing is very strange of course.

Megan was born the year that Diana married Charles and was only 16 when Diana died. She was 14-15 while the separation and divorce was in the supermarket tabloids here in the US. Given that Megan didn't want to do any research into her future family once she started dating Charles, it's...

I'm not sure how law "varies." Not everyone is caught of course. But it's the law. Just as in Great Britain, not all laws are enforced effectively. https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/anti-paparazzi-law-should-kids-be-left-out-of-the-picture Further, the State Supreme Court has upheld the...

If they're asking Hollywood celebrities how to avoid publicity and protect privacy, they're probably getting the same advice from each celebrity. It's well known that celebrities control their privacy in specific ways, it's not rocket science. Step 1 is of course to lay low and do not go out...

Although, I keep wondering just how much they have. In cash. The house Megan looked at on Vancouver Island is $27M. There's a lot for them to figure out (such as how to manage said money; most would want a very good fnancia advisor). So many new, independent things for them to do (finding good...

I got the feeling she had agreed to do photos for one photographer, in a sense getting a pro to help populate her Instagram. The composition and timing are interesting (as are the reaction comments).

He didn't use those words, to my knowledge, but what he has said points in that direction (and his desire to move as far away as possible is a clear signal). His situation is complicated because his family is also his occupation, but he is rejecting both publicly. Meghan has done the same. The...

I would love to know the name of that article!

This is the aspect that troubles me, for many reasons. First, when young people get into this phase (and stay in it) through their 30's, it's an issue. In this case, I think it means that Harry probably should have sought psychotherapy in his teens and twenties. Sure, the situation feels toxic...

I didn't say they weren't newsworthy. I'm just saying I don't see much about them on the news. It depends on where, in California, they live. There's a reason the Kardashians are behind walls in Calabasas. Frankly, we really don't see paparazzi in Malibu the way we used to. They do need a house...

I'm absolutely sure that other organizations will benefit from their bew commitments.

Yes absolutely! You (and the person you were replying to) are absolutely right. The story itself has not made CBS-Los Angeles or KTLA (does anyone in California watch Fox-nationwide?) California bans altogether taking pictures for publication if a child is in the picture, and Malibu has its...

I don't think it's just the media. I think it's comments by citizens online (on news articles, on this forum, on reddit, on instagram, etc). Sure, a person can learn to ignore all of this - but they do not have to ignore it. Meghan is in show business, she's entitled to retain some of her...

I'm not disagreeing with your general post, but how is writing in about a commercial "rule-breaking"? I ask because "rule-breaking" is a serious symptom and is a strong claim. I too don't think it's the engagements/workload. Until this week, I hadn't realized just how hard the tabloid media in...

When family is also your job/employment, I think things get sticky. Most of us have no clue what that would be like (especially from birth). I also think it's a fantasy to pretend that the Royal Family is mostly a family (and not a business/occupation/power base as well). Families do not always...

Are you sure she "cut off" the woman? Perhaps merely distanced herself from someone who is a little too nosey? How can we know? I do not think Harry was seeing his family members day to day, most royals don't. He will likely miss some family occasions but, as others have done, he can then go...

Does your country require complete commitment to a project made in advance of experiencing the project? It seems that she and her husband are doing what most young couples do, and working out/defining their marriage as they go along - without reference to "country" perhaps. Maybe neither of them...

The couple would not have much difficulty if Harry decided to become a U.S. citizen. I think they'd be happy in Malibu, in one of its more remote sections, and with its very well-enforced paparazzi laws.

Isn't Canada part of the Commonwealth or am I mistaken?

There are vast amounts of genetic research into the ancestry of American slaves (most are from West Africa, some are from North Africa, many have both ancestries).

Excellent choice, stylistically and historically. It was literally the crown of her overall look. Girl knows how to rock a tiara.

That was not a messy bun. I came mostly to post about the indoor/outdoor makeup. That's not easy, she did well. Or her artist did well, as we are hearing that she did employ one. She was still the one who decided on the overall look, quite natural but not as sheer a base as in other looks. I...
