#thomasxguy

So can I just ask - for all the people speculating that Thomas and Guy wouldn’t have a stable future in Hollywood because of the Wall Street Crash/the Great Depression, and that by that logic, he should have stayed with Richard...  Wouldn’t Richard have been in an equally tenuous position only a few years later in 1936 where George V dies, and then there’s the Abdication Crisis? Like surely wouldn’t Edward VIII have brought in entirely new valeting staff for his time as King, and then they would have been replaced AGAIN when George VI took over and brought HIS valeting staff? I don’t know much about Buckingham Palace staff, but surely valets would change with each king, even if most of the domestic servants don’t?  Also if Guy was affected by the Great Depression, isn’t he also more likely than Richard to have a substantial nest egg that could see him (and Thomas) through a few years of financial hardship? Like wouldn’t Guy be more likely to own non-monetary assets (like property or cars) that he could sell in times of desperation, as opposed to Richard would probably lives at the Palace and depends on his working wage to survive?  I’m not trying to start any conflict - I’m just genuinely curious and I haven’t seen this addressed before.
