This was more enjoyable than I expected. It was my little “mind break” and was worth the 35 minutes. I love hearing the varied perspectives.

Thank you! I’m smiling at “more enjoyable than I expected.” Because you’re right, you never know how two people are going to work together and a “case study” isn’t all that exciting but we make it fun because we are two nerdy girls with thoughts!

I also feel like being behind the mic and speaking freely lets me show a little more of my personality.

WELL! Now I'm curious about patronage. I need a little more clarity. How important is having this royal support for the existence of a Charity in the common wealth and what does it mean? Money? Does a physical visit mean anything or just pretty wallpaper?

Did H&M take a page from the Queens business acumen or did they take their combined "noggins" and enlist experts for Archwell. Which is a sound foundation, as far as I've seen. .

That said, does the FIRM even raise funds for charity ot are they pretty bubbles. Is their only duty so many Walk Abouts each year to earn all that money? Hmmmm

Not exactly public knowledge

Wait! Wait! I have to ask: Is supporting not-for-profits (to varying degrees) the main mission of the monarchy? Is it how the “working” royals are “paid?” Like I have 492 patronages? Or is it # of hours showing up for my 400 patronages? OR, is my pay based on the quantifiable results my 22 patronages achieve (ie 100k fewer homeless people?) And of course how is it all reported to keep monarchy luster up???! Sorry so many questions! So interesting! Can’t wait for more.
