Jen: You’re all asking similar questions. And making lots of comments. And we love that you all come here to talk it all out! So, let’s dive into some comments and questions that have been posted lately.

Lindsey: Yes, we always get lots of comments and we love that, but you all have really ramped it up on this topic in the past few weeks and we get it.

Jen: This is a common one. Lots of people saying that the Prince and Princess deserve to have a private life and their alone time and we should just leave them alone and quit speculating.

Lindsey: I disagree. I don’t think we need cameras in their house or bedroom or anything, but these people aren’t just average citizens. They’re not even normal celebrities. Like if Alex Olsen shows up with a woman on his arm, we’ll talk and speculate and want more info, but no, we’re not entitled to that. But with Prince Torin? He’s one of our leaders. He’s our future king. And Princess Abigail is his wife. They’re already married. She’ll be our queen. I think we do deserve to know more about her.

Jen: Yeah, I get that. And the total blackout, just hiding out, seems weird, doesn’t it? Even if there’s nothing weird going on, appearances matter.

Lindsey: Someone in the comments said the same thing. She says it makes it seem like Abigail is maybe not happy here, or isn’t adjusting to living in a foreign country well.

Jen: Well, she’s not really living here. She hardly knows if she likes it or not. If she’s not happy on the ranch, maybe she should try coming into town.

Lindsey: Right? Someone else said maybe she’s sick or something.

Jen: Maybe. But this is a long time. If she is, it’s something serious. And again, as a leader of our country, we should know.

Lindsey: What if she’s pregnant?

Jen: Oh my God! Well…damn, we definitely should get to know that! Okay, someone here says what if she wants to go back to the US but Torin’s trying to talk her into staying?

Lindsey: Well…screw her. I mean, we don’t want a queen that doesn’t want us.

Jen: But they already got married.

Lindsey: They shouldn’t have done that without her living here for some time.

Jen: Okay, that’s a good point. I mean, I guess they could get divorced. But…how does that work? We’ve never had a king and queen divorce.

Lindsey: Wow, anyone out there an expert on the rules around that?

Jen: There is a comment here that says since they didn’t get married here in Cara, does it even count here? Or are they only really married under US law? Damn. Who knows for sure? Anyone?

Lindsey: Someone replied that King Diarmuid did bless the marriage so that’s really all it takes here in Cara. But…did he? I mean I suppose he hasn’t said they aren’t married, but there wasn’t even a ceremony for the blessing. Shouldn’t that be public? Why aren’t they doing anything for us to see? I don’t like how everything is happening behind closed doors.

Jen: I know. It seems odd at this point. Everything feels secretive.

Lindsey: It does. I mean, do we even know for sure they’re here? What if she freaked out and they went back to the US? We know from past experience that Torin is capable of sneaking on and off this island when he wants to.

Jen: Wow, true.

Lindsey: Or…what if she’s blackmailing them or something? Like Torin had to marry her, but it’s not a love match or anything. She’s extorting them for money or power or…something.

Jen: You’re reading too many spy novels.

Lindsey: Romantic suspense, thank you very much. And I’m just joking around. That was in the comments. We should not be spreading stuff around like that. We’re just chatting, people! No one quote us!

Jen: People literally print off what we say into transcripts and screenshot our posts.

Lindsey: Oh yeah. Oops.

Abigail

Oh, I am definitely into cowboys.

At least the way my husband does cowboy.
