It's no longer in any doubt that Fiona Harvey is the inspiration since her public statements in May 2024, so there's no need to change the heading. All that is in dispute is whether the portrayal was fair or accurate. That will doubtless be elaborated on whenever she takes this to court. Cnbrb (talk) 16:23, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
