Stories about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. With Stories, I enjoy the Duke and Duchess as muses for aspirational-life storytelling created especially for women over 50, using ChatGPT to illustrate my carefully prompted ideas. The stories combine reported facts with clearly imagined scenes to explore what their lives might look like behind the scenes—the clothes, places, brands, experiences and possibilities. Through them, I explore a distinctly grown-up language of fashion and lifestyle: country clothes, beautiful interiors, restaurants, travel and the small rituals of modern royal life.
