Begging people to not tag my art as NS/FW. It's not my fault you get flustered at some pasionate kiss or a shirtless guy like some old victorian lady. All you're doing is telling Tumblr to flag my art as mature and hide it.

Handwritten letter from Princess Grace to her close friend Prudence "Prudy" Kudner (née Wise) dated on September 22, 1967.

Full transcription below:

"Prudy dear,

Our trip this summer sounds like a bad soap opera. We went through three weeks with one crisis after another. Caroline started off the trip with tonsilitis followed by a mouth infection. Then Albert woke up on the Empress of Canada that we boarded in England with measles. Then in Montreal I lost the baby & the two girls caught the measles. It was really unbelievable. Rainier cancelled the rest of our trip in Canada & Alaska. I took the two measle girls to Ocean City where we spent ten days resting & seeing family. Then we flew to San Francisco to join Rainier & Albert. Then two weeks in Beverly Hills in a heat wave.

I was really very fortunate to be in a big city at the time of my miscarriage but it is such a depressing experience and this was the second boy we have lost. It was fun to see so many old friends in California. Some haven't changed a bit while others I had a hard time recognizing. We didn't get to see Bing—who lives mostly in San Francisco now as he was off in Africa. I am so upset to hear about your eye trouble. Can something be done. Do you know of Dr. Berliner in New York. He has a fabulous reputation and is supposed to be wonderful. He & his wife spend their summers here. The head of the American Academy is now Frances Fuller who is Mrs. Worthington Miner. She taught there in my day. One of my cousin's girls is there now. The place has undergone many changes but is still very good. Hope your birthday party for Arthur was a great success. Much love to you all." 

ABOUT PRUDY:

Prudy was roommates with Grace, Sally Parrish, and Carolyn Scott at NYC's Barbizon Hotel. Periodically Prudy shared Grace's Manhattan House apartment and the apartment at 1285 Sweetzer Ave. L.A.

Possessing exceptional organizing skills, Grace hired Prudy as her secretary and assistant in 1953-56 until Grace married Prince Rainier of Monaco. Though Prudy was one of Grace's closest friends she was denied the opportunity to be a member of the wedding party since she was in Grace's employ. The palace thought it would be unsuitable. She did attend the wedding and attended the events of the week leading up to the wedding serving as Grace's assistant. Princess Grace would serve as Prudy's matron of honour at her wedding to Arthur Kudner Jr. on December 13, 1958 (see photo).

Prudy died of leukaemia in 1973 and was survived by her husband and two children a son Arthur Kudner III, and daughter Prudence Barry Kudner.

slate earnestly answering an advice email about someone’s toddler not being antiracist enough sounds like a really stupid joke, but this actually happened and I need to find the archive link

🤡 What's a line, scene, or exchange you've written that made you laugh?

Thanks so much for this, my dear @veryflowerobservation. Prudie in the Like Someone AU has some lines that have made me laugh (I hope others find them funny too?)

Most recently, in A Rose in December I liked this exchange:

“You rang just in time. We carved the bird but ‘aven't sat down yet,” Prudie explained, carefully articulating her words to sound more sober than she was. 

“Tell ‘im there’s enough bird ‘ere to go ‘round!” Tina called out, filterless as usual. In the background Ross could hear others--men and women--who appreciated the bawdy humour of their hostesses.

“Yes, well I won't keep you, I just wanted to wish you Merry Christmas,” Ross muttered growing uncomfortable of how to execute his task.

“Well, look my dear, I’ve got the wishbone,” Prudie began, then shouted to her cousin, “Nay, Tina! I told you this is one bone you don’t get to ‘ave. Or at least I get it first.”

-- AND--

In We Don't Reach Back (another installment in the series yet to come) there's this bit, which I had posted to Tumblr before, probably on a WIP Wednesday:

“Dry January, my arse!  An’ just when were you goin’ to tell me? You think ole Prudie wouldn’t know? What are you, three months forward? No, must be four--yer face is as puffy as a trigger fish!” 

“A what?” Demelza stammered, although not really surprised that the woman had put two and two together.

“You en’t a pudge, mind,” Prudie said. “Not in yer belly at least.”

“You mean not yet,” Demelza couldn’t contain a smile. It was too late to deny anything. The cat was most certainly out of the bag.

“Forget this dry shite--you know they say a good stout will make yer milk come in. An’ with those beansy tits of yours, you’ll need all the help you can get, girl.”
