Apparently Tessy started another endeavor recently:
Quote:
In January she set up global bespoke consultancy Finding Butterflies, which counts Montessori and Vodafone among its clients.
|
They are quick to find her; why would that be? A completely new company suddenly attracting large clients... I am sure it has nothing to do with Tessy still presenting herself as a princess.

Tessy visited Peacocks Montessori Nursery in Stuston to meet the children who have been growing plants that will feature at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in May.

Tessy just doesnt know when to stop. These messages ...
"Yesterday I was disinvited from the Women’s Forum Global Meeting in Mexico because they are afraid of what my Ex Mother in Law will do. I am not sharing this message to spread bad vibes. I am sharing it in hope that we all realise what still needs to be done in order to support one another."

Hmmm, I'm sorry I can't believe a forum disinvited Tessy because of MT. I mean, not to be rude but outside of these forums who really knows about MT to make her powerful enough for a Global Forum to be worried about what she would do? Even if they do know of MT (maybe linked to her own recent forum in Luxembourg) its completely up to the organisers to invite who they want, and sorry Tessy but this is life- you are no longer a royal and no longer important. You're former family are always going to take precedent over you.
Sounds like Tessy is determined to cast MT in a bad light which seems odd given how close they use to appear together. Whatever else has happened Tessy needs to remember that MT is the grandmother of her sons so to be a decent person and mother she should stop dissing her online. It's not fair on her children to put them in that position.
This just strikes as Tessy being bitter IMO. Honestly, she needs to get over herself, stop publicly spatting with her former in-laws (simply for her children if not out of respect or the fact they are providing her with a house and paying for her children's school and medical costs) The fact she uses this to talk about woman empowerment is just rubbish, if that were so and she felt strongly enough about it she would stop shaming another woman online.
I would love for someone to ask her what proof she has that MT had any part in it.

Who knows whether they were close or not, but Tessy saying that is just stupid, IMO. What on earth can she hope to gain from it, unless her primary objective is to portray herself as a victim? It is not at all wise on her part, but then her actions over the last year or so have already shown that she is not nearly as smart as she thinks she is.
A little dignity and self restraint on her part would go a long way.

Long before any of MT's children married she did an interview about her life. She had the MIL from hell who didn't approve of her son marrying a native peasant. It was no secret about how she was treated as Luxembourg is a very small state and her MIL had a very big mouth.
MT vowed she would always support her children's future spouses publicly and I have never seen a hint of public distain from her. Good heavens, she didn't only open her jewellery vault but her closet too!
IMHO those in charge of the event read some of Tessy's invective about her ex in-laws and discovered she wasn't a very nice person and that her behaviour had the possibility of a knock on effect of alienating many of their sponsors.
If it had just been a civilised divorce I don't think this would have happened as in the eyes of the world it was effectively over with the Decree Nisi. The only thing that changed was Tessy's public behaviour.

It does. But the irony is that as a result of this the only one she is casting a bad light on is herself.

Agree with those who say that this is a stupid post from Tessy - thoughtless and inconsiderate (even though Maria Theresa doesn't have an Instagram from what we know of, she could easily find the post or be notified of it from officials) of her. She's such a big advocator of kindness yet posts things such as this which can only have been done out of spite and anger. I also agree that this must have been a very messy divorce to have changed Tessy's character so much. A very complex person indeed.

Tessy would want to count herself lucky she didn't have Grand Duchess Josephine-Charlotte as a mother in law as she'd have made mince meat out of this foolish and misguided loose cannon of an ex Princess.

So obviously Tessy was referring to MT as the one who made sure she lost her title in the recent HELLO magazine interview.
Ironically, MT once insinuated that Tessy was the daughter-in-law whom she most identified with...and now it's come to this?
It's all so very sad, so very degrading an end to a marriage. It didn't have to be this way.

She has to understand that her title is what makes her being invited. What did she personally achieve that makes her deserve to be invited? I don't see the reason that she being invited except the title she (previously) hold.
And I would not be surprised that if she continues to blame the GD family, especially MT, for everything in her life that doesn't go as she wants in the future  .

Anyway it must be very shocking and hurtful to anybody, immaterial of the Reason or the situation in life, to be "uninvited" like that….

Probably as hurtful as being talked about online by someone who is out to get you.

Pity she didn't have but J-C was never PC and would have caused her own kind of mayhem. However, not being into fate or destiny or any of that . . . strangely I find myself saying "what goes around comes around and that Karma? Ain't she a b****.
I think this is only the beginning.

Yes, the Women's Forum is connected to GD Maria Teresa's "Stand Speak Rise Up" forum. MT's forum appears on their homepage and news section. Upcoming Women's Forum meetings are in Mexico, Singapore, and Paris this year.
Women's Forum - Building the future with women's vision
I doubt Maria Teresa is going to Mexico due to her fear of flying. I think she's only flown within Europe recently; her last overseas trip was probably Florida for her brother's funeral. However, if MT is going, it's a huge achievement in managing her phobia and good for her!
To be fair to Tessy, I can see why she'd be invited: Tessy co-founded NPO Professors without Borders, is UNAIDS Advocate and UNA-UK patron. Maybe the organizers learned of the divorce and overanalyzed the situation. Alternatively, Maria Teresa has a longer history as a women's advocate so her position is stronger than Tessy's. Naturally a forum would pick MT over Tessy although I can't see MT being bothered if Tessy attended.

We'll never know MT's real relationship with Tessy. It could all be wonderful in public and conflict in private. The cynic in me can see the GDF presenting a peaceful image after the negativity between MT and JC and kerfuffle of Louis and Tessy's unexpected pregnancy.
Sharing clothes and jewelry could be seen as control rather than affectionate gestures. Some outfits look so ill-fitting or unattractively altered, I sometimes wonder if Tessy or Stephanie really wanted to wear that dress or they wore it anyway because they didn't want to upset MT or MT told them to wear it.
