Looks like she is using her relationship as bait to get them to fight each other privately, destroying their affair on her own terms without being publicly at fault. Best way to handle breaking up with a Prince by trying to get him to defeat himself.

There are a lot of trends that ended. Highheels were for men, to help riding on horses, for example. Machismo is a hell of a drug.... or I guess it'd be a meta-virus. I'm wondering if the use of makeup by males (one myself, so don't mistake my perspective here because of the term) is something is more about guys (thinking guys that didn't have jobs wearing suits specifically) calling "sour grapes" on its use since it would be expensive, time consuming, and not to mention a rarely used skill, and that mindset sort of bleeding up culturally into an ideal (no matter how faulty) of what a "man" is supposed to be. Sort of like having long hair, or why villains in fiction are often "preening." This could very well be wrong, but it is how I see it. It is stuff like this, that I'd be happy to never see or hear of posturing because of some machismo again. Machismo should only have use for humor to me, like doing stupid things such as eating incredibly hot peppers to show off.
