The tree thing was surely deliberate, Claire would have known there would be backlash.
I like her as influencers go, the fact she does lose her mind over what in the real world is pretty irrelevant means that we see a more 'real' person.
So many of the others are very careful about creating a relatable public persona, whilst being utter b****es behind the scenes.
I'm fairly sure the Claire we see on socials is the Claire everyone sees all the time. She disappeared for while (understandably with kids etc)
But I like her content and I'm glad she's back. I like seeing the house stuff, the South of France, chelsea etc I'd love to see more of the flat hunting, don't put her off sharing it with too much hate here!! No one can alter their birth, but anyone can change their stars, and she has. All the comments about her being a chav are pure snobbery (and say more about the commenters than her) and yes you can move into any society in the UK, it is one of the most socially mobile places to live in the West. Anyone who has lived in the US (only money talks, literally nothing else matters), France or Italy (here it is so much more about heritage and impossible to penetrate the upper echelons). I was at an event at a stately home a couple of weeks ago, and the crowd came from everywhere, but what they all had in common was that they were driven and interesting. Just watch Rivals, social mobility in the UK has been very real since the 80s!!
