With all her hair back (+shades), she either looks much more like her mom… or like King Olav. Lol.
I suspect what they’re not happy about is less the prospect of Laurent doing this (if he honestly wants to and isn’t just talking for attention or talking’s sake), and more him chatting about and advertising it publicly before all the tricky details are nailed down.
If he wants to do a Prince...
Or more politely, I think one could say that they are not necessarily unscrupulous but simply appear to enable many of each other’s weaknesses and worst qualities, like Wallis and Edward/David.
