That's just it, they never think about the long game.
An
intelligent person in M's (high and faux-mighty) shoes would have thought,
and thanked her lucky stars. Late-30s, had a great life, pretty, thin shots for future docs, hard-smiles/acting/girly career behind her, in the UK, a Duchess and Patron of X Y and Z, have heir & spare, living the dream, looked up to, paid for, pretty dresses and accessories galore, looked after, wined-dined-banquets, honoured guest everywhere, galas and universal love. Too good for M.
The only people who love her now are the ones that are paid to do so or delusional.
No acting career/prospects (or any friends and left in La-la-wood)
No real charity work (coz security can't be paid for)
No business head (only spin)
No media impresario producer (coz she can only front)
No politics/no backbone
As for H-im H-e's as daft as a brush but twice as thick and dusty, a public speaker with nothing to say and a bad attitude
. H-e'll probably end up working IN security rather than paying for it
