Maybe there was another reason she chose to stay in Spain at the time?

The auction items being stored in a temperature controlled environment for 15 years. She says that his lawyer asked her for a list because P might buy the items back. The auction was set for March 2016 but pulled shortly thereafter. She did have time (almost 6 weeks) to get a list to them but it wasn't done.

And Pennypurple brought up the same things I was thinking in regard to the private jet on 9/11 and the drinking. She never states when she did start drinking in the book, but suddenly, there it was.

There just seems to be too much blame on Larry and M2 without any acknowledgement of Mayte's shortcomings at this time. She didn't fly to MN and check things out for herself, or LA or NY or wherever he was. She writes she just waited – buy why? Who was stopping her from going?

Welcome Misslink, I am glad you decided to come to the Book Club. I wish you would've been here from Chapter 1.

The Auction:

The stuff that was left in possesion was legally hers, she got it in lieu of money. When that auction 1st started, it was stuff that Owen, Dez and Mayte were trying to get rid of. From what I've read (here on the org) and I'm not going thru 1000's of posts to try to find it, Prince was really trying to get Owen's stuff pulled, I don't think he really cared about the crap Mayte had. He wasn't interested for 20 years about it....I think the auction house got kinda freaky because they knew Prince had the money to drag it out for a LONG time, the auction house pulled it and didn't want no part of it. The stuff Mayte had, he had his lawyer call her and said Prince would buy the stuff back. I actually think Prince was doing this because he thought Mayte really needed the $$. She had that stuff stored in special storage, and tried to reach out to Prince several times about it. When his lawyer called and asked for a list, she probably wasn't in a hurry to get to him, because he no longer controlled her and she'd do it on her own time. Then the unthinkable happened and Prince died.

.

If I was her (and I'm not) I wouldn't have included her ring OR the proposal letter, or the wedding dress. I would have held onto that for sentimental reasons, for the rest of my life. That other stuff like the blue outfit (which I never liked that outfit) would've been put in the auction. That was/is legally her property to do with what she liked.

humm when it comes to an ex husband it all has to be or not be sentimental. I sold my ring, it was over. Could have made a necklace what I probably wouldn't wear that either. She was moving on... getting rid of everything. Best move she could make, get on with her life. Although I wonder if he could have brought himself to buy back the ring that held so many memories. We'll never know, unles there is a finishe manuscript in that vault somewhere.

The Spanish article says, "Mayte took the opportunity at the party to deny that the relationship with Joaquin C. was anything but professional, period."

Doesn't matter.

There will always be folks willing to prick pinholes in her denial.

They want to believe that she cheated on P, regardless of evidence, including Mayte and P's public denial of any affair on her part.

It was back to work today after a wonderful week-long spring break. So I'm in "work mode" now. Plus, I was distracted by the Prince-related news that came out today. Anyway, here's the first part of the chapter eleven timeline/summary.

.

Chapter Twelve Timeline/Summary: Part 1

.

Just to refresh everyone’s memories, at the end of chapter 11, Mayte finds out from a “compassionate friend” that Prince asked a male assistant to destroy everything that reminded him of Mayte and Amiir.

She states that her family helped her to deal with the divorce. She decides to start a new life in LA.

Well I haven't ever been divorced, but if that ring was from Prince, you couldn't pry it away from me.

.

My mom and dad were divorced and my mom went out and hocked her ring, partly because she disliked my dad rather intensly and partly because she had no money to put food on the table for us 3 kids. My dad passed almost 2 years ago and I've often thought as the only daughter, that I would really like to have had that ring that my dad gave my mom in 1962, it wasn't worth anything $$ wise, it would just be sentimental to me and something I could've passed down to my daughters.

What do you think this was about? It's not in the book, but she tweeted him in 2015. Just wondering if they're still friends and if he ever responded.

7:33 PM - 11 May 2015

It translates to:

I have an idea!!! We need to talk!!!

Sorry this translation is so bad:

Monday, 06.09.1999, 00:00

A sponsor is looking for pop-trio guerrilla Mayte Garcia Nelson, 24. Prince's wife transcends the couple's newly acquired three-million-dollar mansion in Andalusian Marbella, while "The Artist" filmed a new album in Philadelphia.

The neat neighbor now asked the green widow for a financial injection of 200,000 dollars to build her own dance group. The Marbella Society whispered promptly that Prince had blocked his buddy from jealousy from the household: Mayte was danced out of the row and succumbed to the body arts of the fiery flamenco artist Joaquín Cortes.

http://www.focus.de/panorama/boulevard/boulevard-mayte-tanzte-aus-der-reihe_aid_181140.html

I agree with DD55, I wouldn't have sold the ring or the dress - mostly because no bride wants used things, but it also would have been nice to pass on to someone special...like Gia.

Penny Purple, You're preachin' to the choir!!! I know she never called him Prince, but c'mon...he's PRINCE!!! I'm keeping the ring and passing it down as a family heirloom!

After reading the whole book, and then the afterword...it's so sad to know that she still loves him. And she believes she will see him again someday.

amethyst68 said:

I'm not sure what that proves. Her, Prince and Joaquin were seen dining together while in Spain.

Well there ya go....someone has failed to mention that they were all 3 at dinner together. I guess they were just to focused on saying Mayte had an affair.

Oh, I meant to post the interview where he talks about the epilepsy. I think he says he was inspired by watching "Unforgiveable Blackness" (Jack Johnson). He explains why he brought it up.

She ties everything up up nicely concerning her life, it is her story after all, and gives meaning to her losses and how she has been given the gift of being a mother, etc. She highlighted what was important to her all through her book and if I still have questions, well I guess I can hope for additional info, or hope for a book by another ex-wife or associate. Maybe they can fill in some of the blanks. And in my own little mind it's okay if she saw Joaquin and had parties while in Spain. If I don't love and accept The Beautiful People I end up hating them and being jealous and bitter of their mansions and fancy clothes and cars.

They both, Mayte and Prince, denied that she cheated.

I never believed that Mayte cheated (because she loved being his wife and didn't want their marriage to end), but this is the first I've heard of Prince denying that she cheated. Do you have a source where Prince states that she didn't cheat?

I'm not sure what that proves. Her, Prince and Joaquin were seen dining together while in Spain. They were cordial with one another. Prince has said himself that he was very possessive about Mayte. I'm sure if there was any hint of something inappropriate going on he'd act out or he might have even publicly shared it seeing that he was pretty open when talking about their relationship. He has said that he trusted her.

I feel LG and the JW religion is exactly what Prince needed. He needed something more powerful then a woman to guide him. He was just too stubborn spiteful and prideful. Prince knew God and he knew his soul wasn't right, it wasn't going to be saved and that he'd have to one day suffer the consequences of his actions to all those he hurt and did wrong.

So treating your wife badly and leaving her for another woman is ok by God?

tmo1965, precisely! Becoming a JW had some positive effects on him, but he was so contradictory when it came to studying the JW faith while being unfaithful to Mayte.

....but doing this at the expense of dishonoring the marital covenant? Not to take this into a religious direction on this Easter Monday, but the bible is very clear in that what God hath joined together in holy matrimony let no man put asunder. I'm not particularly fond of the adultery aspect in the scenario either.

To me the belly dancing outfit and the strip club is showing her disrespect. Who knows what was going on in his head.

As for the annulment papers, it would have been a big fight because I would have taken those papers and ripped them up in his face. There is no way I would have signed them. At first, I was thinking that it was to make the marriage void in the eyes of the JWs, but now I'm wondering if he showed them to M2 to make her think that the marriage was over before it was really over?

If he did this then I'm going to have to re-think my love for him. That is one messed up thing to pull on not one but two women. Plus you gave Mani a bit of an out here, makes her look a little less conniving. [Edited 4/16/17 23:21pm]

NO...Mani doesn't get any kind of "out." She was messing around with a married man, and that was WRONG WRONG WRONG.

Well Misslink thank you for that, but right now we are on the Afterword part of the book we are trying to stick to the book, and tomorrow we will probably start discussing the prologue, which will be super hard on all of us.

tmo1965 said:

Prince was probably reverting back to his player ways, but found that it's a little more difficult when it is widely known htat you're married. Decent women would not give him the time of day.

It's possible that he was stringing M2 along and she gave him an ultimatum and he produced these fake anulment papers. It's the case of a married man having a mistress and he keeps making promises to the mistress, but she sees no evidence that he is going to leave the wife and presses him to put up or shut up. So imo, that would still mean that M2 is a homewrecker gold digging scank.

Who really knows what his intentions were but he never indicated to the media or to Mayte as wanting to leave her, although they were having issues in their marriage. Here is the actual statement released to the media in December 1998.

"AS OF THIS DAY, MAYTE AND EYE HAVE MADE THE DECISION 2 TRANSCEND R MARRIAGE AS IT GOES AGAINST R BELIEF IN THE ONE, TRUE GOD. R DECLARATION OF LOVE4ONEANOTHER NEED NOT B CONSUMMATED BY A MAN-MADE INSTITUTION EN4CED BY MAN-MADE LAWS REQUIRING A CON TRACT THAT PUTS IN2 ACTION THE ENERGY 4 DIVORCE.

I love the man dearly, but when it came to this annulment situation, he was FULL OF SH**!!! Yeah, I said it.

I remember rolling my eyes so hard at P blathering this nonsense.

BTW, in case anyone is wondering, this was definitely not a JW thing. It was all P.

Interesting though, that suddenly CONtracts were okay when he legally married M2. I rolled my eyes somemore at that.

P could be such a dunce sometimes. Sheesh

Absolutely, LBrent. Like I've said before, the man was ridiculously creative, and this "annulment" was creative nonsense.

Not really. The assistant guy told me a bunch of stuff, but that's all I remember about Mayte... I think he went to Hawaii with them.

He also had a bunch of stories about Cat and Prince, which my memory isn't really helping with, caue I don't think he was at Paisley during SOTT/Lovesexy time. So, I'm a bit confused about that...

The stories about Cat and Prince, did they make you think they were lovers?

Am I misremembering or didn't Cat say they were lovers?

Or was it Robyn who said it?

I can't remember which one said it.

The interview I saw with Cat she said they were just friends, but it was a very old interview. I have heard many rumors though that Cat had Prince's baby, I'm just wondering if that might be true. Plus, if he heard lots of stories they must be some good stories.
