    Marius Borg Høiby News & Current Events Part 1: December 2023 -

    We don't know what was done or not done. At this stage, the parents and family are not responsible. There is no evidence of any cover-up beyond what many a parent would do for an offspring. Many wealthy people/people of privilege become addicted, ill, or violent, and the appropriate authorities...

    Marius Borg Høiby News & Current Events Part 1: December 2023 -

    I don't see how "different" standards needs to be interpreted as "stricter" standards. Different is different. Marius is not in the line of succession. Mette's two younger children are. That alone would imply that standards are different. The Norwegian press is losing its collective mind over...

    Marius Borg Høiby News & Current Events Part 1: December 2023 -

    We don't know. If he has a major mental illness he may not be processing his situation accurately. If he has a personality disorder, he is likely angry and finds it difficult to restrain himself. If he is actively using, then anything is possible. This doesn't make him "not criminally...

    You are right. We don't know. I find the speculation about the role of Marius' parents to be very frustrating. It is a media feeding frenzy' this does nothing to inform the public about the issue. Is Marius a criminal? If the court so finds, then yes. Was he an indulged child? We would be just...

    Marius Borg Høiby News & Current Events Part 1: December 2023 -

    Unless MM and Haakon actively intervened with police to suppress criminal charges or silence victims, they are in no way responsible. As I said in an earlier post, most parents would try to maintain a relationship with their wayward/addicted adult child in the hopes that they could encourage him...

    Marius Borg Høiby News & Current Events Part 1: December 2023 -

    The answer to these questions is unknown. I offer the following caution: Marius is 27 years old. By all accounts he has been using illicit drugs for a long time. When faced with a family member like this, most families do not initially cut off the addict; instead they try to remain connected...

    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Family, News and Events 10: August 2024 -

    In my view it was not an interview in the journalistic sense but an opportunity to highlight the project they are supporting. Pauley did not ask any challenging questions, not even ones related to why the Sussex's have not condemned the Sussex Squad's online abuse of the BRF. If Pauley had been...

    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Family, News and Events 9: August 2023 - July 2024

    Hmm...I'm not sure Harry wields a lot of social power in the US; more importantly, it is a matter of law if he can or cannot remove the children from their place of residence without the consent of their mother.

    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Family, News and Events 9: August 2023 - July 2024

    Harry said that Diana "wasn't paranoid". In Harry's mind, the press was at least partially to blame for Diana's death. My theory: In Harry's mind, Meghan seems to be a representation of Diana. Meghan knows this. We have glimpses of how Meghan uses this in their relationship, but we don't really...

    It isn't an "either-or" situation. Of course she was likely appalled by the phone hacking. Of course she was likely appalled by any perceived or actual unfair treatment of the Duchess of Sussex by the press (which would have taken place after the phone hacking that Harry is currently challenging...

    Spanish Infantas and Daughter's Fashion and Style Part 4: June 2024 -

    It's a lovely colour and fits well.

    Engagement of Princess Märtha Louise and Durek Verrett: June 7, 2022

    I am generally quite open to certain aspects of "new age" thinking; in my view it is helpful to explore various ways of thinking about the world. The more I read about ML and Verrett, however, the more I see that Verrett is a con man (especially since he has a history of law-breaking) and ML...

    The Duchess of Edinburgh's Fashion and Style, Part 1: March 2023 - July 2024

    I don't particularly like it, but I think the "maxi-dress" is somewhat trendy.

    Charles Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer and Family 2: Aug.2023 -

    That's a reasonable take. Privilege doesn't erase trauma and therapy should be viewed as an opportunity for growth.

    Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie's Fashion and Style Part 13: June 2022 - June 2024

    I don't mind the colour. I'm not sure it is a shade of green that suits Princess Eugenie, though. As for the dress, I think Eugenie looks better in a less tailored style.

    Sarah, Duchess of York Current Events 20: Sep 2022 -

    She does look very well. Cover photos are usually "tweaked" a bit, but even if it is, she looks great.

    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Family, News and Events 9: August 2023 - July 2024

    When I heard the video and saw that MM was not specifically named, I expected that Senator Tinubu's words would be interpreted as a criticism of MM. I also believed that even if there was displeasure with MM's attire during the visit, Senator Tinibu would be diplomatic and intelligent enough to...

    Charles Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer and Family 2: Aug.2023 -

    His privilege didn't protect him from experiencing abuse at school. His mother left the home when he was very young. He was raised in a broken home. Like Diana, it would be no surprise if he has mental health issues (he has been married three times, so no doubt he has relationship issues). I...

    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's Charities and Patronages

    I think you have answered your own question. It's a celebrity foundation and perhaps he wanted to be seen to be helping out friends (Harry, Meghan, CEO of Archewell, WME, Tyler Perry, Oprah --- the possibilities are endless)?

    Why would they? They were said to have been invited by the Nigerian military organization to improve Nigeria's chances of getting the Invictus Games and Meghan apparently wanted to explore her Nigerian roots. Unless Meghan wants to explore the other 57% of her genetic heritage, or other...

    The Duchess of Sussex's Fashion and Style Part 1: November 2023 -

    The dress is pretty, but too long. The backless look doesn't fit with the occasion. If they are in Nigeria for a vacation and not at the invitation of members of the government (or whoever invited them), then the dress might suit. As it is, in my view the occasion calls for something comfortable...

    Crown Princess Victoria's Daytime Fashion Part 17: June 2023 -

    It's a very pretty dress in my opinion, but I am not sure the colour suits Victoria. I am also not sure about the fit. She probably enjoys changing up her wardrobe between tailored and softer looks.

    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Family, News and Events 9: August 2023 - July 2024

    Celebrities visit hospitals--it's done all the time to increase the profile and highlight the work of the institution. An event needs to be filmed/photographed in order for profiling to happen. It's what the BRF do as well. Is there a difference? If Meghan were paid to appear, that would be an...

    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Family, News and Events 9: August 2023 - July 2024

    Harry is there to add profile to the event. It is what he is paid for and there is nothing wrong with that. I can't imagine that he has much to add other than his personal experiences with stress and addiction, and perhaps being a cheerleader for Better Up programs.

    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Family, News and Events 9: August 2023 - July 2024

    Harry and polo is a good fit. Meghan and cooking is OK--no worse than a lot of celebs who purport to be knowledgeable in the area. Maybe she's a great cook. These programs aren't about the BRF so that is good.
