Myeloma, Sex, and Dementia
Myeloma, Sex, and Dementia
October 30, 2022
I hope you’ll forgive me if I’m not my usual chipper self today. I was in the Hospital again for a few days starting on Tuesday morning the 25th. On Monday afternoon I got radiation treatment on my back and right femur. That evening and especially during the night, I developed a high fever and once again I ended up on the floor in our hotel room unable to get back into bed.…

"In a room full of art,
I'd still stare at you.
In a room full of people,
I'd still search for you.
In a room full of flowers,
I'd still pick you.
In your life full of imperfections,
I'll still choose to love you."

re: Andrew and his half in/ out.
Most of the royals had a half in/ out deal to a certain degree. Not just Andrew.
Think when the Michael Kents had to shutdown their Russia business connections which Michael had because of his uncanny resemblance and blood links to Tsar Nicholas RIP, bonus was the fact he is related to the royal family, nevermind the many Romanovs still floating around.
Sophie and Edward started married life with a solid half in/out with Sophie continuing her work at the PR firm she founded RJH Public Relations while Edward had a job with Andrew Lloyd Webber’s company then his own production company. They also carried out royal duties.
Fergie kept all her ventures abroad, but there was no doubt that she traded heavily on her royal connections despite the divorce.
Duke of Kent often got paid for after dinner speeches.
David Snowdon definitely capitalised on his royal connections when he set up his business and for years it was promoted as royal adjacent.
Ditto Peter with his milk ads in China or was it Korea.
Zara was receiving money from chinese business people to make royal introductions and for awhile was paid a tidy 6 figure sum per Hello photoshoot - i hapoen to know how much she was paid for Hello photoshoot with baby Mia because i was working for a Pr firm at the time and we dealt alot with Hello magazine. The price Hello paid Zara then and now always has a royal inflation despite her bonafide credentials as a sportwoman.
The difference is that the Harkles were not discreet nor did they want to be discreet about their half in/ out. They wanted taxpayers to underwrite their lives while monetising all aspects of it and picking and choosing royal duties and being centred as the stars they thought they were. We got a small taste of what they wanted with their SA tour which on the surface looked modest, but infact was a smorgosbord of merching the crass ad they did for H& M ‘Arch meets Arch’ advertising roll out as well as charging people for meet and greets. On top of taxpayers underwriting the tour. Ditto merching that SA murdered girl’s memorial on Instagram. Markle also only carried out those duties that she wanted and refused to fly to other African countries on account of the private jets used to take Harry to those other countries being too small, but she joined in via video links from South Africa.
The ads below ran during the Desmond Tutu event in South Africa. H& M’s website was updated with the picture below and links to buy Archie’s outfit. The palace pulled everything down after about 30mins. If you’ve never seen it, you’ll think it’s a meme or something created by fans, but if you were watching in real time, you’d have seen this ad. The DM posted the ad in article titled 'Arch meets Arch’, but pulled the H&M ad at the same time that palace pulled down ad from all media outlets. The SA tour monetised Archie as well as the Sussexes.

The new website alone shows their idea of crass merching and monetising the monarchy which all the others did not do. Not even Andrew.
Andrew was getting favours and deals while trade ambassador/ pitch at the palace, but it wasn’t in your face and if the media didn’t report on it, no one would be the wiser. Sophie was frequently accused of using her royal connections to drum up business for her company, but again no one would know if media didn’t report it at the time.
The Sussexes version of half in/ out was too crass and obvious that monarchy would have been in danger by the end of day 1.
***********
I agree with all of this. I did think about how everyone but the direct heirs seems to be on half in/half out when I was writing that answer. That was my reasoning by “they misstepped in being so aggressive” because as you’ve outlined here, everyone does it, they just did it more subtly and discreetly.
The Sussexes’ monetization has always been the problem. They would’ve been able to do everything they’ve had these last four years (maybe not Spare, but everything else) had they stayed in. Charles did documentaries of his charity work all the time, so they would’ve been able to make documentaries. William and Kate have spoken on podcasts, so Meghan would have been able to podcast though the content might’ve looked different. Charles has written several books so they would’ve been able to write books. Charles has his Duchy Originals brand and Highgrove House products/shop so Meghan would have been able to have some kind of brand or Sussex House shop. No one would have cared because they all do it, but Harry and Meghan demanded the money goes directly into their pockets instead of to charity and that’s the line in the sand.
Edit after posting: the anon’s Lipstick Alley links require you to have an account to view the info. I’m leaving them in because I didn’t catch this sooner. (And I’m not a member of Lipstick Alley so I can’t vouch for the links.)
And everyone, please remember that Lipstick Alley doesn’t like it when their stuff ends up on other sites.

Integrative Taxonomy Reveals a New Cryptic Species of Xenopeltis (Ophidia: Macrostomata: Pythonoidea: Xenopeltidae) from Central Highlands, Vietnam
Nikolai L. Orlov, Pavel B. Snetkov, Oleg A. Ermakov, Tao Thien Nguyen, Natalia B. Ananjeva
Abstract
Herein, we describe a new cryptic snake species of the genus Xenopeltis from Central Highlands of Vietnam: Kon Plông District, Kon Tum Province based both on morphological and molecular data.
Xenopeltis intermedius sp. nov. is distinguished from the two known species by a combination of the following morphological characters. Xenopeltis intermedius sp. nov. differs from X. unicolor and X. hainanensis by the number of ventrals and subcaudals. The skull is less elongated than in X. unicolor and somewhat more elongate than in X. hainanensis. X. intermedius demonstrates differences in size, shape proportions and relief of the parietal bone and the number of teeth from X. hainanensis and X. unicolor. We provide a COI-based estimation of diversity of the genus Xenopeltis. Genetic divergence (p-distance) between Xenopeltis sp. nov. from Kon Tum Province, Central Highlands region of Vietnam, and two other congeners was 5.7% (for X. hainanensis) and 12.9% (for X. unicolor).
The new species is currently known only from one locality from Central Highland and was recorded from 1500 to 2500 m a.s.l. in the evergreen polydominant forests in the mountainous regions of Kon Tum Province. This is the third species of Xenopeltis from Vietnam.
