For some reason I unwaveringly support unearned wealth, but only if you are one of the Windsor children or any titled subjects who have somehow managed to keep a few pennies together. Frankly if in 2020 you’ve figured out how to monetize your ancestral money pit then all power to you.
Other than this lot, the moneyed scions of the international parvenus can bring out my inner comrade. They come from all over and when you edit a luxury magazine, they pop up on the radar a fair amount. Each year, I am required for work to spend a week in Los Angeles to get covers booked and do some groundbreaking journalism on local hat makers and tailors.
What you need to know about Los Angeles is that it is a consummate meritocracy as well as a plaything for trust fund beneficiaries and not-so-bright young things. Inevitably, Harry and Meghan will be hanging out with one of these groups, probably not both.
