So many epic moments in 2021. Feeling very fortunate today. Great times on the beach, unforgettable reunions with cherished ones, multi-generational trip to Italy, new home in NYC, had a ball in podcastland, sent oldest kid off for two weeks of wildly successful wilderness adventure, celebrated my ascent into middle age with the best friends a girl could ask for, and we even made it back to London. ♥️♥️♥️ Your move, 2022. by @ashleyclarebaker
Meghan Markle and her father, Thomas Markle Sr., have been estranged since 2018. For years, much of the press settled on a simple explanation: she was a snob who had married a prince and discarded her commoner father. Last Friday, allegations against Markle Sr. for possession of child-sexual-abuse images became public, and he is now being investigated by police in the Philippines. He denies them, calling them “sick lies.” Meghan says any distance from her father, and her choice to keep him from her children, was for one reason: to protect them.⁠ ⁠ @ashleyclarebaker reports on the latest Megxit wrinkle in the link in bio.⁠ ⁠ Photo: Jonathan Brady/PA Images/Alamy by @ashleyclarebaker

Episode 5 of our Long Lunch series is with Deputy Editor of AirMail @ashleyclarebaker and her guest renowned interior designer, @beataheuman. WHAT ARE THE KEY ELEMENTS FOR A SUCCESSFUL LONG LUNCH? A slow work day, great food, mid-level lighting, a sneaky cocktail, and above all, excellent company. WHAT DID YOU EAT/DRINK TODAY? Shrimp cocktail, branzino, French fries, and a glass of Chablis. It was an unusually warm and sunny day in London, so my order skewed South-of- France. Beata had the branzino as well, but she started with vitello tonnato and wisely kicked things off with a dirty martini. And we finished with an ice cream sundae - total heaven.  Read the full interview in our ‘Journal’ via the link in bio. by @ashleyclarebaker
We lost one of our own this week. Richard David Story was our travel czar at @airmailweekly; he has been with us since our launch. I was fortunate enough to edit his column, after admiring him from afar for my entire career. As others have said, he was the last of the great gentlemen editors. But I’ll remember him best as a friend. A friend who was always up for a good meal and quality conversation, a friend who was always hellbent on using his enviable knowledge and experience to enrich the lives of others, a friend who cherished his family and revealed an open and curious heart to everyone he knew. Decades of second-to-none work will always live on, but I miss him terribly, and above all, feel so awfully lucky to have known him. He was such an important part of our work family—such things still exist, and matter—and @airmailweekly just isn’t the same without him. ❤️ by @ashleyclarebaker
ICYMI, @airmailweekly has a new podcast coming atcha every Saturday morning. It’s called Morning Meeting, and it’s a treat to host it along with @michael_hainey. We talk news and culture—the top stories of the week, and those that are percolating in the minds of our editors—but also, there’s good old-fashioned coffee talk. In our latest, we discuss that time RBG officiated at the (first) wedding of our colleague Alessandra, but also the return of the sample sale, the “members” of Parliament, and the oeuvre of Hugh Grant. Please join us, wherever you get your podcasts. Thank you for listening! ❤️☕️❤️☕️ by @ashleyclarebaker
