Hello and welcome to your Friday edition of The Nerve.

I am your host, Maureen Callahan, and we have a special guest today who is going, you know,

we did The Year in Celebrity Scandal with Rob, and now we're going to do the year in royals, namely the year in

royal scandal. None other than America's foremost royal expert, the incredibly well-sourced

Kinsey Schofield. I mean, ask her how many trips she took to the palace this year. I couldn't even

begin to tell you. She's also the host of the must subscribe. Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered,

go over to YouTube and subscribe over there. She joins us now to wrap this year up as only she can.

Welcome, Kinsey. Speaking of which which have you worn your buckingham

palace slippers yet have they come out of the package have they oh you gave me yes that you gave me

these incredible slippers which i love and you also gave me this really beautiful, like, it smells incredible, this hand cream

that you got at Buckingham Palace. And it goes like nothing I've ever used. And, you know,

I'm a real snob when it comes to that stuff. But anyway, we've got to get to what matters,

Kins. We've got to get to what matters, Kins. We've got to get to what matters. Now, what, we've got to begin with the letter that Megan wrote and had delivered to her father.

We do not know who these carrier pigeons are. But the main takeaway that we know thus far, according to one insider, is that Megan, quote, agonized over every

single line, I'm sure she did, and that it, quote, reads more like a press release than a private

letter. And the smash cut to what the outcome of this whole thing is, as Megan has said,

she's got no intentions of visiting her father in the hospital, now or ever, and it's over.

They're not going to reconcile.

Merry Christmas to you, Thomas Markle.

Merry Christmas.

Kinsey, what do you make of it?

I know.
