Money doesn't just buy everything.

I mean, all that money went into kind of stopping him, and he still won.

Hi.

Hi, Lulu.

How are you?

I'm very well.

Thank you.

How are you?

I'm in London and having a pretty great time, I have to say.

Well, the problem is, I fear we're not.

What you saw really in the last couple of weeks was the sort of result, in a sense, of the kind of conflict and dithering really of the king who didn't want to go as far as he had to go, sort of pushed by public opinion.

I mean, it would have been much better if he'd simply stripped him of all of his honors originally, you know, or rather that had been done in 2019 when his mother was there.

Instead of which, you know, it's been allowed to kind of bleed out in one episode after the next.

I do think that he actually should have left the country.

But how it's all going to work out, I don't think they've really solved it, no.

It's better than it was.

No, I mean, he would have only his secrets to sell, essentially.

And they can't allow that to happen.

And the same is true of Fergie, who is such a wild, loose cannon.

So they have to be kept sort of under control.
