They really need a reaction I suppose from the palace. It's always been like a reality series that is being scripted almost exclusively through PR maneuvers and other minions. Hollywood media and reality TV have slowly been merging into a business model that exhalts alternative reality over substance almost solely through subjective means. So it's no surprise they're trying to work off of that model, but it needs drama to actually thrive. They need the counter response so that they can continue to make it out it to be something it probably really isn't in the grand scheme (ie something they can manipulate and attach suddenly new details to with purported contexts...)... if they give any kind of response, they lose. The media will get their story by whatever means. If all that's left to milk is anti-H&M drama, then that's where it will all go... none of it is an honest business and the ones "blasting" the royals probably wouldn't have liked them to begin with and will believe anything negative, so I doubt it actually changes their ability to survive? (I feel like they should know this)
