If Miss Goff is to go across, who is Mr. Messervy?

[Harrison Hill]

Anjie Goff the journalist went across to meet Alexandra Messervy
formerly of Her Majesty's Household for a tour of Royal Wedding London
recently, not that that has anything to do with the price of fish. On
her blog she says:

I love it: Capitalizing off the the Royal ‘I Dos’ across the pond.
There are a couple local events going on in celebration of Prince
William & Kate Middleton’s big day. For the more adventurous and
fortunate – we’ve got the inside skinny on how you can partake in the
celebration in England.

"Inside skinny"?

Dunno, but Miss Goff might be the Mary Poppins writer, PL Travers(e) -
geddit?
Does that help anyone?

My subconscious says "to go in to dinner" (Mme est servie). I still
don't understand the first part. Something to do with Froeken'g off?

How an American instructs a thin person to get out of harsh weather.
Needs a comma.

Alternatively, "inside information." American slang. Any good
American dictionary will include it.

Inside at the moment. Skinny? -- No comment.

There's a very tempting connection between one Julie Moir Messervy and Yo-Yo
Ma, who have collaborated on a number of things. If they married, I missed
the news.
Is the answer then, to go up and down?

I could also make a case for the answer being Me.
(Messervy being the real name of M in the Bond novels, plus the e as in
Traverse)

I knew a Gough when I was a student. We called him Far.
