Will Someone Please Tell this Non-Entity to Just Go Away?

Damian Thompson expresses a popular sentiment, though perhaps a tad more exuberantly than your Tatler would.

An accident of birth does not automatically grant the right to publicly voice ill-formed, unasked for opinions with the expectation they be regarded the least bit seriously. It’s a pity this highborn larrikin couldn’t have followed the example of his older brother, who seems to have accepted his birthright and the responsibilities thereto: ribbon cuttings, charitable events, state dinners, diplomatic greetings and the like (things your Tatler would sooner chew glass than have to engage in) with grace and gratitude, while also producing two heirs with his lovely wife.

The Tatler of 1709 was founded by Jonathan Swift, aka Isaac Bickerstaff. The Taos Tatler was founded by ex-New Yorker Anthony Fountain in 2018, in the same spirit, he hopes, as the original. Please send mail to taostatler@gmail.com.
