It's not the 1920's when people expect a divorced woman to retreat to the shadows or an earlier time when she would have been put in a nunnery.
Tessy has to support herself and if she is making a contribution to society by helping others, why should she should be quiet? It wasn't expected of Diana, Sarah and Alexandra and I don't expect it of Tessy. We all know how Diana and Sarah dealt with life after the divorce. The one to follow IMO is Alexandra of Denmark. The only difference, that with the exception of Alexandra's follow up marriage and divorce (which caused a lot of press)....Alexandra has never said anything negative about her former in laws. She does her charity work, raises her children, when the DRF shows up at events with her sons, she is pleasant. Who knows what she is thinking behind the smile. Based on how Tessy is acting, can the same be said for future activities with her boys?
I just think that she shouldn't try to engage in a tit for tat with the Grand Ducal Family. She might win the in the court of public opinion (though I don't really think so) but she will lose as it relates to her relationship with the family. They are tied together forever with the boys. Its not fair to the boys if they want to enjoy life's events (i.e. graduation, plays, award ceremonies, marriage, etc.) if Mum and the Grand Parents can barely tolerate each other cause Mum can't stop slamming the Grand Parents in the press. Grand parents, whom if I am correct...have never said anything negative about Tessy.
