 to get some sort of explaination, elaboration, or apology as she feels
 appropriate from her. No, I'm not going to tell her what to say or how to
 say it, though I will discuss this issue in depth with her if she asks.>>

The problem is that the rest of the world does not have the luxury that you 
do in interpreting Her Highnesses words.  We have only those words in the 
letter to go off of and to many of the members of this list, who are trying 
to dispel the myth that period food is bad, destroys much of the work they 
have been doing.  If she really did mean somthing different than what she 
said in the letter, then that is what she should have said in the first 
place.  That alone would have avoided what has been happening here. 

You may not feel it is your place to tell her what to say or how to say it, 
but it is your place as a retainer to make her look the best.  To avoid this 
problem in the future maybe you can suggest writing the latter in advance, 
let someone else read it who can be objective and make sure it says what Her 
Highness wants it to say.   Whether she wants it or not her words will 
reflect on Trimaris until they step down and it is very important that those 
words are well chosen.
