“They’ve been “lazy” for around a quarter of a century and it has never mattered.”

Beg to disagree. Their popularity has had dips over the years but what boosted them was Harry’s implosion (Harry who used to be the most popular royal).

What kept them insulated was (1) The King has always been the media’s favorite whipping boy and (2) The King largely gave them cover for not working as hard by picking up the sla (not that rabid Wales fans or even William will ever acknowledge how hard he’s still worked so William had time with his kids he didn’t always have). It’s him, not Anne who is the hardest working Royal, doing over 400+ engagements a year PLUS having his own actually impactful legacy projects (far more than just Prince’s Trust).

We’re not even a year in and now that Harry is yesterday’s news, the media will need to find new targets. The erosion of their popularity has started and it will continue unless they step up because as The King gets older, it will get less and less acceptable to beat up on an old man in the press, and the media also has a comparison in Charles to ask why William isn’t doing more or can’t get an adequate balance between bread & butter vs his foundation work.

Already in the last YouGov poll, The King was more popular than Catherine amongst millennials. It

will be interesting to see where their polling numbers are a year from now…

First, it’s not a competition between royals. I’m not sure who is trying to make it into a competition, but it is not BP. That’s why we are getting “united family” pr, and even David Linley is getting “confidante to the king” pr. I think Harry accurately quoted his dad as saying “don’t make my final years a misery, boys.” The common goal is to give Charles a successful reign and keep a lid on the family drama. Everyone is singing from the same hymn book.

That’s because they recognize that Charles’ weak spot is his spotty family record. Just as a light workload hasn’t hurt the Waleses, a heavy workload hasn’t my helped Charles that much. He is very hard working and has executed fantastic projects, but his family life has been an utter disaster and that he colored his royal career. QEII’s family record was also spotty, but she had solid historical achievements that dwarfed that. Charles does not have that.

Thus they are desperately trying to build up Charles’ family record. The fact that he has kept the family together after Harry’s implosion and QEII’s death has a lot to do with his current popularity. I don’t necessarily agree with the “extended family” concept they are going with (particularly where Andrew is concerned), but they are committed to it and it has been working so far. “Grandfather King” is an effective concept, but it requires a family that more or less gets along.

And that requires a good relationship with William and his kids. A competition with William is not good for Charles, as William (and George after him) is his legacy. William being a successful Prince of Wales validates Charles’ questionable life decisions. William’s successes enhance Charles’ reign.

Also, having Africa and conservation as a joint interest was a mistake.

I think that was because Harry had no real interests of his own other than partying, getting high and playing video games. He's just as empty as his wife in that regard. In fact I think he's actually worse. If they looked inside of him like they did Meghan in South Park, all they see would be a seething cauldron of rage and resentment.

Just as Meghan's been single white female-ing Kate, Harry has been doing that too to William all his life. And it's even more disturbing cos as u said, Meghan wanted Kate to be her bff but with her as the main bitch and Kate as the lesser friend. While Harry hates William, his archenemy. He wants whatever William has (money, family, Kate, interests, importance, respect, character, height, Diana's face and his special bond with her) and better. Failing that, he'd drag him down to his level. Thus the reputation and character assassination attempts by projecting his own flaws (envious, violent, malevolent, shady, sinister) onto William and accusing him of things he himself is guilty of (cheating, leaking and briefing against his family, betrayal, bullying, shady dealing).

See what happened in his hacking case. William had actually been the one who set things in motion that led to the leveson inquiry and press reforms when he reported his suspicion of a hacking to the police. But Harry twisted it around and painted William's private settlement as a secret shady dealing to appease the tabloids while claiming himself as the hero on a crusade using an old case that had been dealt with a long time ago when HE actually had been the one who fraternized with reporters in exchange for favorable coverage.

He is twisted and malevolent. No matter what happens with his marriage, the brf needs to make sure he stays away from William and his family. He wants to see William ruined and his faux concern about the Wales kids felt sinister and was telling -- he wants them to be as messed up as he is to vindicate himself and to punish William.

This is very insightful. It’s also kind of creepy when you take into consideration the rumors about him and Pippa.

anonymoushouseplantfan

So what do you think she aspires to be? What’s next on your opinion?

She’s trying to be Gwyneth right now. However, she’ll get frustrated when she fails to get big brands and move on to something else.

She shouldn’t, mind you. WalMart Gwyneth is actually a very sensible goal for her, particularly if paired with some Marianne Williamson/The Secret/Oprah content. She already has those connections in her resume and they would fit well with a divorce/renewal narrative. It’s also a platform that lends itself to a blog/newsletter format and to partnerships with other content creators who can cover up her deficiencies.

But she doesn’t see herself as WalMart Gwyneth. She thinks she’s better than Gwyneth and Dior and Cartier should be knocking at her door. That’s the problem.

dishonestduchess

She should realize that Martha Stewart already evokes high-end living but sells it at accessible prices for everyone. It can be done, but I don't think MM wants her name attached to Target or Walmart. (Or do the actual work)

Yet here's Martha Stewart laughing all the way to the bank while still oozing high-end elegance.

And Martha rebuilt from NOTHING after a prison stint. Take notes, Meghan. Take notes.

Plant - who is behind the current promotion of Suits on Netflix? It was a low rated cable show and now getting some social media, etc attention. Trying to score attention due to the current WGA and SAG strike. Is it Netflix or Markle? Or working together?

Working together. They promote Suits in exchange for some of the documentary fees. So basically, Meg and Harry pay for it.

dishonestduchess

I've been questioning this myself!

Netflix won't stop shoving Suits at me. It's the opening screen for the app on my TV and automatically starts playing.

It's giving very ✨️Needy Chick Vibes ✨️

anonymoushouseplantfan

Do you think Harry is aware of this current and on going strategy? and that divorce is on the table?

Yes, I think they’ve been effectively separated for a while.

I base that on the brf reactions. I suspect the family knew they were separated in January. I think the end of the FrogCott lease was a message to Harry that he wasn’t welcome post divorce. That was announced in March, but it apparently happened in January.

Buckingham Palace issued an eviction notice to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex days after the release of Harry's sensational memoir Spare in

And Tom Sykes had a Daily Beast article where the royal staff essentially said Harry didn’t have a place in the family post divorce.

Royal sources speaking to The Daily Beast say rumors about problems in Harry and Meghan’s marriage are “groundless” speculation—and the fami

That was May 31st of this year.

If you look back, you realize she started to detach herself from his book last year. I’ll look for the articles and add them after posting. EDITED: it was actually January of this year.

For a couple that ‘move together like salt and pepper’, the Duchess of Sussex has left her husband left to soak up the limelight alone

And she started individual pr in March [EDITED: Actually, it was August. Oops] of last year with her disastrous The Cut interview. [Ditto on adding the articles later. I just don’t want to lose this post and Tumblr is eating my drafts. ]

She’s left the Firm behind. Harry’s found a polo team in Santa Barbara. The kids are doing great. Now she’s ready for her own next act.

So I think this has been in the works for a while. Of course, this is just my opinion and people can disagree. I guess we will all find out eventually.

anonymoushouseplantfan

You don’t have to particularly like Harry and Meghan to be disturbed by the constant vitriol directed against them

The Guardian tries to be sympathetic and fails.

The different reactions on both sides of the pond are interesting. The UK has to treat them as relevant and has to take this seriously because of their connection to the royal family and various aspects of the country’s mythos (the spare, Diana, etc…), but the US doesn’t have to do that.

The US is just mocking them and framing them as irrelevant, not just irrelevant now but irrelevant since their public lives started.

The reaction to the “chase” is the best example of this. In the UK, it stirs up memories of Diana’s death and the little boy walking behind the coffin. The US, however, doesn’t my have that kind of institutional memory. The Harkles are not part of a multigenerational national drama in this country. Diana was a celebrity in the US and her impact was through fashion, glamour and charity, not drama.

When the Harkles moved to the US, the media here thought they would deliver on that glamour and charity. They didn’t. All they’ve delivered is drama, drama, drama. Now the media is lashing back.

And their usually defenses-Diana card, Hero Harry, etc… don’t work here the way they work in the UK. I’ve been particularly struck by the different ways paps are portrayed. The UK paps were characterized as parasites, even by the US media. However, the US paps are presented as people who are just doing their jobs. In years of following this telenovela, I don’t think I’d seen even one sympathetic interview with the paps. Now I’ve seen three (Post, NYMag, and NYT).

And the US outlets are far more willing to accurately call out press shenanigans (branding strategies, spokespeople, security staging, leaks, exaggerated statements) than the UK. If the 2016 KP statement’s claims of pap break-ins had been met with this kind of healthy skepticism we would be in a very different place right now.

Please, someone in the media dig into her pre-engagement break in claims in Toronto.

The Princess of Wales wore a patriotic tri-tone look for a visit to the Dog & Duck pub with Prince William ahead of the celebrations.

As I'd hoped it has been a very red, white and blue year for the PoW. There were some pinks and oranges in January's but those eventually disappeared and except for the occasional green ensemble and some neutrals, she has stuck to the coronation theme. That's fantastic!

See all the outfits Kate Middleton wore at public events in 2023.

I've really enjoyed the coronation prep, even if it hasn't been as glam as I had hoped for. The words that come to mind are "professional," "stature," excellence. It has been a very "20th century British diplomatic service" kind of affair, efficient, subdued and targeted. From the train ride to London to drinking pints in Soho to the royal receptions...everything is thoroughly professional, down to the color scheme. It's Executive Royalty.

That's a bit disappointing because I love the royal glam, but KCIII is definitely setting the tone for his reign. It's not the tone I expected because I've always thought KCIII loved glam. I think he still does, but it's not what he wants his reign to represent. Apparently, we won't even get tiaras?

A coronation would normally be an occasion for female members of the royal family to wear their most dazzling jewellery. However, the Prince

My initial thought was McQueen for the coronation gown as well, but with how often she wears beaded Packham’s gowns it’s now where I’m leaning. I hope it’s the same shape at the green tulle dress but not tulle, beaded and embroidered all over. I’m fascinated to see who she goes with because I’ll bet it’ll be different than her own coronation gown. I wonder if they’re already big picture planning for 20+ years in the future so the two gowns are related in some way.

She’s definitely planning 20+ years in the future, particularly with regard to the children. So the big question is whether George will wear Charles’ lace ascot. It would be a sweet historical reference, but…I don’t know. I’m not sure George will go for it.

dishonestduchess

McQueen has been her designer for every major royal milestone; I don't see her using anyone else. I think she has a well thought out vision of her royal trajectory (as anyone would do), and I'd bet heavily she envisioned a Coronation gown years ago to historically coordinate with other royal milestones as she's impeccably detailed.

Meghan isn’t dumb. Her social climbing schemes worked and several of her projects were good ideas she just didn’t have the follow through. What I can’t decide is how much of this is calculated. Is she an evil genus, lucky, a hustler, or just great at surrounding herself (paying) with the right(ish) people? I’m leaning towards a combination.

Oh, I thought she was a mastermind (I have so many old posts about her supposedly masterful media schemes it’s ridiculous) until Tom Bower confirmed that the KP had helped her from the start (I was in deep denial about that), and the masterful media schemers were Jason Knauf and ELF, then I reassessed.

Now I think she’s smart in that she latches on to skillful professionals (Markus for the escort contacts, Jess for the clothes and merching, Nina for the humanitarian makeover, SS for the press, KP for the princess makeover) and follows their advice, at least until she achieves her goal. I think she’s also smart in that she is game for anything and can recognize a golden opportunity like Harry (or Selena or Priyanka, or Oprah or Tyler Perry) and hold on for deal life.

However, I don’t think she has actual talent or skill at anything but opportunism, and I think she’s really stupid in that as soon as she’s successful at anything she ditches the person who got her there.

But she’s an absolute genius at identifying people who can be useful to her, and reeling them in. Einstein level at that.

Narcissists (and other personality disorders) have this innate ability to find a source. It's as if they sense a homing beacon from the source (victim) then suck it dry.

Prince Harry now claims royal family isn't racist and that the press made up what they said during Oprah interview

anonymoushouseplantfan

It's not. Frankly, it hasn't been since The Hill addressed the erosion of the Commonwealth's reputation. This is just another escalation.....as someone who knows nothing about the military or politics or why this is such an issue can you break it down a bit for me please 🙏

Well, to most people the royals are just a ton of gossip and a parade of fashion, but they do have official functions. Obviously, the King is the official head of state and he opens Parliament and so on. There are also the foreign tours and diplomatic functions.

None of this matters to the US, except for one: the military function. The UK is the key military ally to the US, and that is a very important alliance that the US has invested heavily in. The UK is not that strong militarily speaking, but they bring a lot of international legitimacy to the table mainly because of NATO, the Commonwealth and their European alliances. When the US wants a campaign/initiative to look "international" and not just the US going off on its own they rely on the UK to give it that global gloss. Invictus was a part of this. The original plan was to expand Warrior Games, but that was deemed too US-centric. Invictus allowed the UK/Commonwealth to take the lead and make everything more "international."

Brexit seriously eroded the UK's reach and they don't have the EU connection anymore, so they are down to the Commonwealth and NATO. Harry's Netflix series criticized the Commonwealth, deeming it imperialistic, outdated and illegitimate, and now the biography is undermining the UK military and the Afghanistan campaign.

It's a big, big deal, not just for him but also for the UK government and the royal family. Both the Commonwealth and the UK military and hugely important for the UK's global reach and their ability to support their allies (like the US) and Harry is busily blowing both of them up. That's why The Hill is suddenly wondering why Harry is undermining key allies and why Politico is tracking how the biography is affecting UK politics.

The New York Times also just published an article about it.

Endgame

Beijing and Moscow, gleefully, are on “Team Harry and Meghan,” and decidedly for self-serving and nefarious reasons. Intentionally or not, t

I stopped blogging this drama some time ago because nothing new seemed to be happening. Oh, there was tons of telenovela drama, but none of it was "moving the needle" to quote Meghan. Even the Lady C and Tom Bower books were not very interesting, at least to me. I think they were significant in that they shone a spotlight on the various lies and misinterpretations, which I think helped flip the narrative on these two idiots, but if you've been following the shenanigans closely, as I have, they had few surprises.

I do have posts on the Netflix documentary because those had real revelations. However, I think this The Hill article is the real game changer. The Eye of Sauron has turned itself upon them, so to speak.

Those are pretty strong words, and so are these:

"U.S. national security." Wowza.

What's interesting is that a few days ago, this was The Hill's viewpoint:

Harry and Meghan are savvy communicators successfully controlling the narrative.

Way back in December 19th this was a "you" problem in the eyes of the Washington establishment (which is what The Hill represents), now suddenly it's an "us" problem. What changed?

Well, this IPSO poll came out in the UK, showing that the documentary did not affect royal popularity at all. The Brits are calling it inaccurate and the personal popularity numbers were not affected at all.

https://www.ipsos.com/en-uk/britons-more-likely-judge-harry-and-meghan-documentary-inaccurate-depiction-events-crown

YouGov also got positive results for the monarchy.

I haven't seen similar polls regarding the Commonwealth though, but I bet they were done and I bet the results weren't good. The documentary got strong international ratings and the Harkles are going to find out that success is a double-edged sword.

It's going to be interesting to see where this goes. So far, the results are encouraging. Hello, Colonel Kate!

Trooping isn't until June but that got announced in December, which is fascinating.

And Charles' coronation was budget friendly back in October, but it will now be "glorious" pomp and pageantry showcasing UK plc and, no doubt, the Commonwealth.

Monarch wants to use ceremony to showcase ‘UK plc’ internationally, despite being deeply conscious of the cost of living crisis

Harry effed around and now he is going to find out that attacking the family is fun gossip that important people don't care about but attacking an institution that is part of the US national security establishment is a different matter altogether. A lot of people are now going to reassess their tacit support of the Harkles.

It will take a while because no one will admit Harry's Invictus role was axed because of a Netflix drama or internet trolling during the Wales' Caribbean tour, but that will be the eventual result. It will take years and it will be camouflaged as a "reorganization" or "rethinking" of the organization (everything military is now in flux as the establishment analyzes the implications of the Ukraine war) but he's going to be out. Notice that Sunshine Sachs leapt out of the sinking ship way back in September. That was likely the canary in the coal mine.

I doubt anyone reads this blog anymore since so many fantastic people are covering this drama now, but I'm compulsive about completing tasks so I'll be covering the endgame (as Scobie would put it, although the monarchy will not be the one losing this game).

Oh man...she is currently losing her mind.

Biographer Tom Bower in The Sun today,

“Meghan Markle wanted to be Queen… Oprah interview is her revenge”

Tom Bower 6 Mar 2021, 21:00 Updated: 7 Mar 2021, 2:56

Finding fame and fortune in Hollywood has been Meghan Markle’s burning ambition for over 30 years.

Ever since her father — a film lighting designer — took his young daughter to a studio she has yearned for stardom.

Repeatedly, Tinseltown rejected her. Tonight’s two-hour appearance on US TV and its replay to millions worldwide is her revenge.

Not only against some of the studio bosses who dismissed her as another second-rate actress, but also against everyone else who failed to appreciate her immense talents.

Fixed firmly in her sights tonight is the Queen, the Royal Family and Britain’s establishment.

Like everyone else in Meghan’s self-centred world, their sin is to have rejected her wishes.

Like a Hollywood diva, she has cursed those who don’t understand that being the Duchess of Sussex was not enough.

Walking in procession behind the other royals, especially Prince William and Kate, was demeaning.

‘DESTROY HER DESTINY’

She wanted to be the Queen of England. All those Britons who stood in her way are accused of sexism and racism.

The question is whether Meghan ever intended to stay in Britain.

Did she honestly want to sacrifice her Californian lifestyle and serve as a member of the Royal Family in rainy Britain?

Or did she, as I believe, always intend to use the marriage and title as a stepping stone to further her ambitions in the sunshine?

Convinced of her own greatness, Meghan thinks she has, for years, been the victim of plots to destroy her destiny.

While others shone in leading roles, Meghan had bit parts.

Until five years ago, her most recognised credit was featuring in a Canadian TV soap called Suits.

After she was written out in 2016, her career hit a brick wall. Adrift but undaunted in Toronto, she orchestrated a new start.

Brilliantly, she invented a new script. Intelligent, attractive and ruthless, Meghan set her sights on marrying higher. And she headed to London.

“Who are the single men?” she asked an Englishwoman. Among the cast list was Prince Harry.

Their meeting in a London club was described as “a blind date”. But Meghan knew exactly who she was meeting — and how much the relationship could work for her.

Alone and miserable, Harry, then 31, was a forlorn character searching for love.

‘A DENT IN HIS REPUTATION’

A series of unhappy relationships and public relations disasters had put a dent in his reputation.

But his military service in Afghanistan and his creation of the Invictus Games for disabled military servicemen had added supporters to those who still recalled the enchanting small boy walking behind his mother’s coffin.

Harry fell head over heels in love. We don’t know if the actress felt the same.

One truth is certain: Harry’s closest relations including William and Prince Charles were wary whether the Hollywood divorcee would make the necessary sacrifices to serve as a loyal member of the Royal Family.

Insiders heard how she had ended her two-year marriage to Trevor Engelson.

Without forewarning, Engelson opened a letter sent from Toronto to Los Angeles containing her wedding and engagement rings. Outraged, he told a friend: “I feel like I was a piece of something stuck to the bottom of her shoe.”

On Meghan and Harry’s brilliant wedding day in Windsor in 2018, the Royal Family genuinely embraced the bride and her mother. The waiting crowds cheered themselves hoarse. Only a few insiders could have imagined the horrors which have followed.

“What Meghan wants, Meghan gets,” Harry famously raged during the preparations. Meghan’s demand to wear a particular tiara had been vetoed by Buckingham Palace.

Even on that sunlit day, no doubt she fumed against the Royal Family.

Like a consummate actress, she concealed her anger and smiled. Over the following months, stories emerged of Meghan’s tearful staff complaining of bullying and worse. Her spokespeople vigorously denied the allegations.

Her decision to move from Kensington Palace to Frogmore Cottage in Windsor hinted at the breach with the Royal Family. Insiders could not believe that a Californian would want to live for long under the Heathrow flight path.

Flying on a private jet to New York for a £350,000 baby shower party with US celebrities confirmed her contempt for modesty.

‘HYPOCRISY’

Refusing to show son Archie’s face to the camera after his birth and demanding privacy, while constantly speaking to US journalists, confirmed her hypocrisy.

Friends’ criticisms of the Queen, prompted it seemed by Meghan, were outrightly rude. Insiders know there is more scandal to emerge.

One year later, I considered writing the truth about Meghan. I knew the Royal Family and their staff had become alarmed that she threatened to become an agent of destruction.

The fragile House of Windsor feared that Meghan’s refusal to discard Hollywood’s celebrity culture and adopt the conservative traditions embraced by the palaces would doom her new marriage and jeopardise the monarchy. Those suspicions were dismissed as racist.

That reaction was not entirely unjustified. In Britain and in America, Meghan is remarkably popular, especially among women.

Her supporters admire her ambition and outspokenness. Her critics are usually white.

Those who foresee that she and Harry are determined to plunge the country into a similar crisis as the abdication of King Edward VIII in 1936 are dismissed as prejudiced.

Yet seeing Meghan and Harry on the lawn with Oprah Winfrey, the image is strikingly similar to the Duke and Duchess of Windsor after 1937.

The ex-king’s relationship with US divorcee Wallis Simpson critically damaged the monarchy.

At least the Windsors were aware of the problems.

Meghan and Harry clearly do not care about the uproar they are causing. On the contrary, they are clearly eager for a battle.

Buckingham Palace fears that Meghan sees outright warfare as a badge of pride.

In her selfish manner, she believes that she is entitled to say what she wants to Oprah Winfrey. Those who criticise her inventions are racist and sexist.

Amid the gunfire, many are sad that Harry has been turned against his family. By appearing on US TV tonight, he has sold his soul. The outcome can only be bloody casualties in both camps.

Britain’s monarchy will survive and Meghan won’t be Queen of England. But she clearly dreams that, when the smoke of battle disappears, she might be a US senator or even president.

10 questions we want to hear

Here are ten questions we would like the couple to answer:

Q: Meghan, why did you split from your first husband, film producer Trevor Engelson after just two years of marriage? Your friends were shocked and suggested you put your career first after landing a role filming Suits in Toronto.

Q: Harry, don’t you think it’s odd you’ve never met your father-in-law Thomas? And Meghan why won’t you make it up to him? He is desperate to see his grandson before he dies.

Q: Meghan, why did you say in your engagement interview you had never heard of Harry before you met him? Does anyone believe that?

Q: Why were you so surprised at the pressures of being a royal? You knew what happened to Princess Diana and Harry said he told you what to prepare for.

Q: Why did you agree to a lavish wedding watched by the whole world but didn’t want a royal title for Archie? Was it because you never intended to stay in the royal family?

Q: Wasn’t it insensitive to complain about your lot in Africa, Meghan, while surrounded by people living in abject poverty?

Q: Why did you both lecture us on climate change and then take private jets on holidays?

Q: Meghan, why have reports emerged that you bullied Kensington Palace staff and why would anyone make them up?

Q: Harry, how does any of this help to heal the rift with the royal family, particularly your brother William?

Q: How could you bring about all this negative publicity when Prince Philip in hospital?

Bully rap ‘time up’

Too much time has passed for action to be taken regarding bullying claims against Meghan, says an employment rights expert.

Alex Monaco said: “There is a three-month limit for most claims and as this complaint was made in 2018, it seems that deadline has long passed.

“If normal procedures were followed then Meghan, as effective manager of the employees, should have been spoken to at the time.

“After that, it’s up to the human resources department to decide if the allegations are true and if the manager needs to be sent for retraining or even dismissed.”

dishonestduchess

Perfect time to review Tom Bower's article from 2021:

sassyfrassboss

My guess is Serena's people did not want to promote this episode at all because they anticipated the backlash over Meghan's egomania. Esp the fire story. Everyone must have known that the fire incidence will become the talk of town and Meghan will be dragged. Serena was probably fooled into thinking this will be her big interview post retirement, but realized it was just an own goal for Meghan. So, while she won't say anything about it, she will not promote it. If she does, she gets dragged into the lies and she doesn't want that. Remey, she dropped a story hinting "tea" just before the people mag article came out in Feb2019? This was also the same time she was allegedly throwing Meghan a baby shower. She was raked through coals in the comments section and public still thinks she was part of the 5 friends who talked to People mag. Her team rightly decided to stay quite and just let Meghan do her thing. Serena is just not the brightest bulb in the room, is she?

Oh I am sure Serena is fully aware of who and what Meghan is by now.

I think Serena is very intelligent. You don't get to her level without being very smart.

Serena is working on her next chapter and any press attention will help.

MSNBC segment in which Morning Joe anchors Mika & Joe tell it like it is, calling her a liar and trying to get journalists fired.

***The owner of Time Magazine also owns Saleforce which heavily invested in BetterUp. My guess is that the Time cover was part of the deal for Harry's association with BetterUp.***
