Ok sides seem to be being taken, so I'll line up with sparkle fizz and foxyloxy and everyone else who has suggested Mr M may not be his own best representative on earth.
Most of us will have known or even been related to people who we eventually realise won't change. It doesn't matter how well we behave, how hard we try to mediate, to resolve conflict, how often we believe 'it's going to be ok, s/he gets it now" - only to find things get worse, not better. It seems to be to be naive, to say the least to think that if MM or Prince H, or indeed anyone from or representing the RF attempted to smooth things over with Mr M, that all would be well. His track record strongly suggests he'd be off to be interviewed by the Highest Bidder. His other delightful adult children, could then also be interviewed, could write endless column inches in which they put their own spin on whatever it was alleged had been said to Mr M.
